Sinopsis

Roles Suit Survival examines the historical roots of gender roles in pre-industrial societies, arguing that these roles were shaped by survival imperatives and the need for efficient task allocation. The book moves beyond simple social constructs to explore how biological factors, environmental pressures, and cultural practices influenced the division of labor. One intriguing insight is how societies adapted or failed based on the flexibility or rigidity of their gender roles, impacting economic productivity and community resilience. 

 
The book approaches this topic through historical analysis and quantitative modeling, drawing from diverse sources like census data, agricultural records, and anthropological studies. It begins by establishing core concepts and progresses through an analysis of physical strength, reproductive capacity, and the consequences of deviating from established roles. This exploration reveals how deeply ingrained social structures emerged from the practical challenges of resource management and population growth, offering a unique perspective on social inequality.

 
Ultimately, Roles Suit Survival synthesizes evidence from agrarian, pastoral, and early industrial societies to demonstrate the pervasive influence of survival on gender role formation. It connects to fields such as anthropology, economics, and environmental studies, providing a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between biology, environment, and culture. By understanding the historical context, readers gain valuable insights into contemporary debates about gender equality and the design of resilient communities.

    It is 1904, and every day the coaches plying between Lynmouth and Minehead scramble their way up and slither their way down the 1 in 4 gradient of Porlock Hill, the most feared hill in all of England. It takes six sturdy horses to drag a laden carriage to the top. There, the leading pair are detached and led back down into the village by a boy, a boy who knows how lucky he is to have been given such a responsible job at such a young age. But on this day in May, on his return journey with the tired horses Pug and Delia, he spots what looks like a sheep sheltering on the hillside. But as he gets closer, his heart races as he becomes aware... it is not a sheep... it is a white dress...

    Being Black in a society developed by white men to benefit white men means constantly pushing back against systems that were not constructed for your flourishing. White privilege. White cultural norms. White beauty standards. White noise. You're made to feel that your life doesn't matter, your opinions aren't valid, and your entire existence is too loud. It can feel like the whole world is telling you to shut up. 
     
     
     
    To these forces, Ally Henny is here to say, "No. I am a loud Black woman, and I won't shut up." Ally knows what it's like to navigate racism and racialized sexism, having spent most of her life in predominantly white spaces. She's not taking it anymore, and she's calling you to join her in resisting racism by speaking the truth—no matter the cost. In this compelling book, Ally tells her own story of finding her voice, pushing back against oppression, and embracing her unique perspective as a loud Black woman. And she invites you to find your voice in a world that tries to silence you. 
     
     
     
    If you're tired of feeling silenced, misunderstood, and abused by society, you'll find here powerful words of liberation that will empower you to find—and use—your voice.

    An indispensable guide to understanding the Israel–Palestine conflict, and how we might yet still find a way out of it. 
     
     
     
    "Ilan Pappe is the most original, radical and hard-hitting of Israel's 'new historians.'" —Avi Shlaim, author of Three Worlds 
     
     
     
    The devastation of 7 October 2023 and the horrors that followed astounded the world. But the Israel–Palestine conflict didn't start on 7 October. It didn't start in 1967 either, when Israel occupied the West Bank, or in 1948 when the state of Israel was declared. It started in 1882, when the first Zionist settlers arrived in what was then Ottoman Palestine. Ilan Pappe untangles the history of two peoples, now sharing one land. Going back to the founding fathers of Zionism, Pappe expertly takes us through the twists and turns of international policy towards Israel–Palestine, Palestinian resistance to occupation, and the changes taking place in Israel itself.

    This volume presents those writings of Marx that best reveal his contribution to sociology, particularly to the theory of society and social change. The editor, Neil J. Smelser, has divided these selections into three topical sections and has also included works by Friedrich Engels. 
     
    In his comprehensive Introduction to the selections, Professor Smelser provides a biography of Marx, identifies the various intellectual traditions which formed the background for Marx’s writings, and discusses the selections which follow. The editor describes Marx’s conception of society as a social system, the differences between functionalism and Marx’s theories, and the dynamics of economic and political change as analyzed by Marx.

    In Opening to Oneness, Zen teacher Nancy Baker offers a detailed path of practice for Zen students planning to take the precepts and for anyone, Buddhist or non-Buddhist, interested in deepening their personal study of ethical living. She reveals that there are three levels of each precept: a literal level (don't kill, not even a bug), a relative level that takes moral ambiguity into account (what if it's a malaria-spreading mosquito?), and an ultimate level—the paradoxical level of nonduality, in which the precepts are naturally expressed from a state of oneness. 
     
     
     
    Full of nuance, intelligence, and compassion, the first half of the book addresses the ten grave precepts mostly from the relative level, including instructions for how to practice these precepts individually and in pairs or groups. The second half of the book takes a deep dive into looking at the precepts from the ultimate perspective, largely through an exploration of the writings of Dogen, the thirteenth-century religious genius who founded the Soto Zen school. 
     
     
     
    At once comprehensive and innovative, Opening to Oneness will take its place alongside classics like The Mind of Clover, The Heart of Being, and Being Upright as a cherished guide to Zen Buddhist ethics.
