    The underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho -black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults - this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture. This book offers inspired blasts of writing, from slogans to historical essays, on the need to insert revolutionary happiness into everyday life through poetic action, and celebrating the radical optimism present in outlaw cultures. It should appeal to alternative thinkers and punks everywhere, as it celebrates liberation, love and poetic living. The new edition contains the full text of Chaos: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism, the complete communiques and flyers of the Association fo Ontological Anarchy, the long essay 'The Temporary Autonomous Zone, ' and a new preface by the author

    This authoritative primer lays out everything you need to know to understand today's global food landscape. 
     
     
     
    The third edition of Food Politics has been updated to reflect the latest developments and research on today's global food landscape, including the realities of food markets, farm production methods, food manufacturing, and dietary health challenges. New material covers the rise of China in world food markets and global food politics, the unabated and increasing risks to farming from climate change, the impact COVID-19 had on incomes and hunger, the equally shocking impact from the war in Ukraine on food prices and trade, and surprising scientific and technical breakthroughs such as the genome editing of crops (CRISPR) and the marketing of cell-cultured (animal-free) meats. Each chapter has been updated with new data on population growth, hunger and food security, trade conflicts, humanitarian aid, carbon farming, regenerative agriculture, holistic grazing, animal welfare, genetically engineered food, and more. 
     
     
     
    Discussing the politics and policies that continue to shape our contemporary food system, Robert Paarlberg challenges myths and critiques more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food. A must-listen for those ready to have their thinking about food politics informed, but also challenged.

    Patented in 1917, Piggly Wiggly was by far the most influential self-service store of the early twentieth century. Before 1940 it was the only self-service chain with a national distribution network, but it was neither the first nor the only version. Beyond Piggly Wiggly reveals the importance of Piggly Wiggly in the invention of self-service and goes beyond the history of a single firm to explore the role of small business entrepreneurs who invented the first self-service stores in a grassroots social process. 
     
     
     
    During the 1920s and 1930s a minority of enterprising grocers experimented with a wide variety of (sometimes wacky) design ideas for automating shopping. They created specialized stores designed as enclosed retail systems that went far beyond open display techniques to construct unique physical and psychological advantages for automating salesmanship. Beyond Piggly Wiggly offers the first perspective on the national scale of experimentation and connects the southern Jim Crow origins of self-service to the national history of this mass retailing method. Empirical analysis of store arrangements demonstrates how small stores that have previously been overlooked or undervalued as quaint anomalies were integral to the creation of supermarkets. Ultimately, self-service was more than a business decision; it was a fundamentally new social practice.

    Stalin's Harvest of Despair -...

    In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union emerged as a bold experiment in socialist governance. The promise of equality, worker empowerment, and rapid industrial advancement stirred hope among the masses, particularly in a country long plagued by aristocratic rule and widespread poverty. Following Vladimir Lenin’s death in 1924, the Soviet Union stood at a crossroads. Competing visions of the nation's future vied for dominance, but it was Joseph Stalin who would seize the reins of power and chart a course that would forever change the fate of the Soviet people. 
    Stalin was not initially seen as Lenin's most likely successor. Quiet and often underestimated, he used his position as General Secretary to quietly build alliances, marginalize rivals, and install loyalists in key positions. Through political maneuvering and calculated ruthlessness, he eliminated opposition, including figures like Leon Trotsky, who posed significant ideological challenges to his authority. By the end of the 1920s, Stalin had effectively become the uncontested leader of the Soviet Union. 
    With Stalin’s rise came a dramatic shift in the nation’s priorities. While Lenin’s New Economic Policy had allowed for a degree of private enterprise and economic flexibility, Stalin viewed such policies as a betrayal of Marxist principles. He replaced them with a command economy, aiming to accelerate industrialization and bring agriculture under state control. This transition was not merely economic—it was deeply ideological. Stalin envisioned a centralized Soviet state capable of projecting power, crushing resistance, and transforming society through sheer force of will.
