Sinopse

Ladders and Heights explores the surprisingly significant role of ladders in human history and technology. From enabling the construction of ancient monuments to facilitating modern rescue operations, ladders have been fundamental to human progress. The book examines how ladder construction has evolved, incorporating advancements in material science, from basic wooden structures to sophisticated designs using steel and fiberglass. One intriguing fact is how early ladders allowed access to elevated dwellings in ancient civilizations, while another is the ongoing development of ladder safety standards and regulations. The book's value lies in its unique interdisciplinary approach, blending historical context with technological analysis and practical safety considerations. It moves beyond the perception of ladders as mere tools, highlighting their contribution to human aspiration and ingenuity. The book begins by establishing the ladder's foundational role, then explores its development across civilizations and industries, and culminates in a synthesis of its historical, technological, and safety aspects.

The Environmental Unconscious -...

Steven Swarbrick

Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? The Environmental Unconscious addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize. 
 
 
 
Steven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers. 
 
 
 
The Environmental Unconscious offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of disconnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.

The World Itself - Consciousness...

Ulf Danielsson, Carlos Fiolhais

Can we ever truly comprehend the universe before we fully understand consciousness and the wonders, and limits, of the mind? Ulf Danielsson, an acclaimed theoretical physicist who has dedicated his career to probing the deepest mysteries of nature, thinks not. As he dismantles the arguments of esteemed mathematicians and scientists, who would substitute their mathematical models for reality and equate the mind to a computer, he makes a lucid and passionate case that it is nature, full of beauty and meaning, which must compel us. In challenging established worldviews, he also takes a fresh look at major philosophical debates, including the notion of free will. Fearless, provocative, and witty, The World Itself is essential listening for anyone curious about the profound questions surrounding life, the universe, and everything.
