Sinossi

Fur Trade Foundations explores the transformative impact of the fur trade on North America, emphasizing the active role of Indigenous communities in shaping this global exchange. Moving beyond typical narratives, the book highlights how Indigenous peoples strategically used their knowledge and resources to influence trade, negotiate terms, and form political alliances with European traders. This challenges the traditional view of Indigenous populations as passive recipients and showcases their agency in a period of significant colonial expansion. 

 
The book examines the profound effects of the fur trade on Indigenous social structures, economies, and political dynamics. For example, some communities adapted their production to meet European demands, demonstrating economic innovation. The narrative progresses by detailing initial encounters, delving into economic strategies, analyzing social and political changes, and finally, examining the lasting legacy on Indigenous communities and settler societies. 

 
By drawing upon diverse sources like fur trade records and Indigenous oral histories, the book provides a balanced and nuanced account of this pivotal era. Ultimately, Fur Trade Foundations offers a valuable perspective for understanding the historical roots of contemporary issues related to Indigenous rights and economic development within global trade networks.

Respect for Nature - A Theory of...

Paul W. Taylor

What rational justification is there for conceiving of all living things as possessing inherent worth? In Respect for Nature, Paul Taylor draws on biology, moral philosophy, and environmental science to defend a biocentric environmental ethic in which all life has value. Without making claims for the moral rights of plants and animals, he offers a reasoned alternative to the prevailing anthropocentric view--that the natural environment and its wildlife are valued only as objects for human use or enjoyment. Respect for Nature provides both a full account of the biological conditions for life--human or otherwise--and a comprehensive view of the complex relationship between human beings and the whole of nature.  This classic book remains a valuable resource for philosophers, biologists, and environmentalists alike--along with all those who care about the future of life on Earth. A new foreword by Dale Jamieson looks at how the original 1986 edition of Respect for Nature has shaped the study of environmental ethics, and shows why the work remains relevant to debates today.

Rebent Sinner

Ivan Coyote

In Rebent Sinner, Ivan Coyote takes on the patriarchy and the political, as well as the intimate and the personal in these beguiling and revealing stories of what it means to be trans and non-binary today, at a time in their life when they must carry the burden of heartbreaking history with them, while combatting those who would misgender them or deny their very existence. These stories span thirty years of tackling TERFs, legislators, and bathroom police, sure, but there is joy and pleasure and triumph to be found here too, as Ivan pays homage to personal heroes like Leslie Feinberg and Ferron while gently guiding younger trans folk to prove to themselves that there is a way out of the darkness.
		 
Rebent Sinner is the work of an accomplished artist whose plain truths about their experience will astound readers with their utter, breathtaking humanity.

The Deepest Place - Suffering...

MD Curt Thompson

In the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author Curt Thompson as he shows us how God transforms our grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding. 
Suffering is a defining reality of life. Yet so many of us are so focused on avoiding discomfort that we've never learned how to actually suffer. But what if we could move from anxiety to durable hope? 
In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites us to explore how the Apostle Paul's experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God's abiding presence carried him through the challenges he faced--and how it can help us not just survive, but flourish in the presence of suffering. 
Combining scripture with his own professional insight, Thompson helps us discover that:Suffering can increase our sense of security rather than our fearsHope is something we form in communityFaith can grow out of anger, cynicism, and doubtPerseverance changes our brain and reshapes our imaginationListening to our bodies helps us find new hope in loss 
  
As Thompson reminds us, those who have suffered greatly, including the Apostle Paul, are able to see their stories with a new understanding of God's presence and unfailing love. Let The Deepest Place show you how to do the same.
