Summary

In "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," Charles Darwin explores the intricate ways in which emotions manifest across species, weaving together observations from natural history, physiology, and psychology. Employing a method that blends scientific rigor with literary finesse, Darwin articulates his theories on emotional expression through vivid descriptions and meticulously detailed illustrations. Situated within the framework of 19th-century scientific inquiry, the work not only reflects Darwin's evolutionary perspective but also serves as a forerunner to contemporary studies in ethology and psychology, emphasizing the unity of emotional expression across biological forms. Darwin, renowned for his foundational contributions to the theory of evolution, draws on his extensive travels and meticulous observations to inform this work. His background in natural history, coupled with an intense curiosity about the interconnectedness of life, motivated him to investigate a topic that had only begun to receive scholarly attention. Understanding the emotive capabilities of both humans and animals was, for Darwin, a critical endeavor that illuminated broader implications for understanding our shared descent and the continuity of life. Recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, this compelling exploration invites readers to reconsider the emotional landscapes we share with other animals. Darwin's nuanced insights into human and animal behavior foster a deeper understanding of our own emotional experiences and connections to the natural world, marking this book as an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of emotions.

    Old Truths and New Clichés collects nineteen essays—most of them previously unpublished in English—by Isaac Bashevis Singer on topics that were central to his artistic vision throughout an astonishing and prolific literary career spanning more than six decades. Expanding on themes reflected in his best-known work, the book illuminates in new ways the rich intellectual, aesthetic, religious, and biographical background of Singer's singular achievement as the first Yiddish-language author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. 
     
     
     
    Like a modern Montaigne, Singer studied human nature and created a body of work that contributed to a deeper understanding of the human spirit. Much of his philosophical thought was funneled into his stories. Yet these essays, which Singer himself translated into English or oversaw the translation of, present his ideas in a new way, as universal reflections on the role of the artist in modern society. 
     
     
     
    Old Truths and New Clichés brims with stunning archival finds that will make a significant impact on how listeners understand Singer and his work. Singer's critical essays have long been overlooked because he has been thought of almost exclusively as a storyteller. This book offers an important correction to the record by further establishing Singer as a formidable intellectual.

    Candidates are the literal "face" of political parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as "party genes" and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens up new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on a new database of 200,000 electoral candidates from over sixty elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. Allan Sikk and Philipp Köker offer a series of methodological and conceptual advances for the measurement of candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change; the resulting analyses make a significant contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change.
