Sinossi

Old Winter Struggles explores humanity's enduring quest to survive winter's challenges throughout history, highlighting our ancestors' resourceful adaptations before modern conveniences. The book examines how societies confronted resource scarcity and climate variability, evidenced by architectural innovations and historical accounts. Intriguingly, pre-industrial societies demonstrated remarkable energy efficiency, relying on building materials and heating systems tailored to their environments. 

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts, then examining pre-industrial era survival strategies, architectural solutions across diverse regions, and finally the transition to fossil fuel-dependent heating. It uniquely combines historical narratives with architectural analysis, demonstrating that understanding past solutions offers valuable insights for contemporary sustainable design and climate change resilience. By studying vernacular architecture and historical climatology, we can appreciate the ingenuity and sustainability of pre-industrial approaches to winter survival.

    Nicole M. Joseph investigates factors that contribute to the glaring underrepresentation of Black female students in mathematics. Joseph's account calls attention to educational structures and practices that contribute to race- and gender-based stratification in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 
     
     
     
    In her assessment of the intersectional difficulties facing this marginalized group, Joseph offers a critical view of the existing mathematics education research, practice, and policies that have neglected Black girls and women; confronts the problematic history of mathematics education policy; and considers imbalances in the current teacher workforce in United States mathematics programs. She then provides suggestions for reform. Joseph invites students, families, and educators, as well as researchers, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders to disrupt systems, structures, and ideologies. She calls for an end to racism and sexism in many areas of mathematics education. 
     
     
     
    A must-listen for anyone concerned about supporting the mathematical learning and development of Black girls and women, this work advocates for coalition-building so that greater, more equitable opportunities for learning and engagement may be offered to Black female students.

    Don't Take It Personally -...

    Along with the concepts of social role, social group, social network, social class, and social structure, the notion of impersonality is one of the pillars of the sociological imagination: the ability to think beyond individuals and see them as members of particular social categories. Although almost every sociologist is at least implicitly cognizant of the fundamental contrast between personalness and impersonality, it has yet to be explicitly conceptualized. 
     
     
     
    Don't Take It Personally comprehensively addresses the fundamental distinction between the specific and generic visions of personhood. Over the course of the book, Eviatar Zerubavel articulates the fundamental features of impersonality; the process of producing impersonality; the impersonal logic underlying the notion of individuals as countable quantities; the relationship between modernity and impersonality; and considers what is gained and what is lost by impersonalizing so much of social life. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on fascinating examples from diverse social contexts, Don't Take It Personally introduces a general framework to better understand the deeper connection between seemingly disparate phenomena, from racial profiling and hate crimes to "secret Santa" gifting.
