Sinossi

In "Superiority and Subordination as Subject-Matter of Sociology," Georg Simmel presents a profound exploration of social hierarchies and the intricate dynamics of power within human relationships. Simmel employs a distinctive literary style that integrates philosophical inquiry with sociological analysis, meticulously dissecting the interplay of superiority and subordination as a core aspect of social life. This work is situated within the broader context of early 20th-century sociology, where thinkers began to examine societal structures beyond mere economic determinism, thus positioning Simmel as a pioneer in the field of social interaction and individual agency. Georg Simmel, a prominent German sociologist, philosopher, and cultural critic, was deeply influenced by the rapid social changes of his time, including modernity, urbanization, and industrialization. His diverse scholarly background encompassed philosophy and art, which shaped his unique perspective on society and individual experiences. Simmel's work often reflects his engagement with existentialism and aesthetics, making "Superiority and Subordination" a crucial text to understand the nuanced social constructs of power and identity. This book is highly recommended for students and scholars of sociology, as well as anyone interested in the complexities of social dynamics and power relations. Simmel's incisive analysis invites readers to reflect on the ubiquitous nature of superiority and subordination, fostering a deeper understanding of the implications these concepts have on contemporary societal interactions.

Left for Dead - Shipwreck...

Eric Jay Dolin

In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin—“one of today’s finest writers about ships and the  
sea” (American Heritage)—tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter  
between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British  
warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. 
Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors  
and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard,  
abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a  
half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the  
seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly  
desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal—an alltoo-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 
A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout— 
involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity,  
severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a  
baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an  
improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful  
wartime prize—Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress  
acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era  
in American maritime history. 
“An absorbing adventure that explores the dark shadows of instinct and self-preservation, and the hardships and stress that stretch the bonds of humanity.  
Fascinating reading.”—Stephen R. Bown, author of Island of the Blue Foxes:  
Disaster and Triumph on the World’s Greatest Scientific Expedition

Love Auntie - Parables and...

Shantell Hinton Hill

Embrace a faith that makes room for all of us. Where can we go when the world refuses to see us in our fullness? When culture reduces us to categories and stereotypes and even our churches make us feel like we don’t fit in? If we’re blessed to have an Auntie—someone who, like Jesus, welcomes us wholly and calls us beloved—then we have glimpsed the liberation and divine affirmation of sacred belonging.  Time and again, Aunties have offered a model for undoing, becoming, and embracing our identities and deepest beliefs. Auntie culture, particularly in Black spaces, is immediately recognizable as an embodied experience where nieces, nephews, and “niblings” feel safe, heard, and seen. Whether we are biological or simply beloved kin, Aunties welcome us in.  In Love, Auntie, Shantell Hinton Hill—aka Reverend Auntie—offers tender testimonies to a flock of loved ones who have been led to believe they do not belong. Through modern-day parables, prayers, and prompts for reflection, she invites readers to sit alongside the wisdom-bearing of Black women, lovingly known as Aunties, as they carve out space for doubts, questions, and spiritual expression that honor intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. Because trust and believe, Aunties always know how to turn mess into miracles.
