  Feminism in the Wild - How Human...

  In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.

  Human life, and how we came to be, is one of the greatest scientific and philosophical questions of our time. This compact and accessible book presents a modern view of human evolution. Written by a leading authority, it lucidly and engagingly explains not only the evolutionary process, but the technologies currently used to unravel the evolutionary past and emergence of Homo sapiens. By separating the history of palaeoanthropology from current interpretation of the human fossil record, it lays numerous misconceptions to rest, and demonstrates that human evolution has been far from the linear struggle from primitiveness to perfection that we've been led to believe. It also presents a coherent scenario for how Homo sapiens contrived to cross a formidable cognitive barrier to become an extraordinary and unprecedented thinking creature. Understanding Human Evolution is for anyone interested in the complex and tangled story of how we came to be.

  The Fallacies of Racism -...

  Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
   
   
    
  In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
   
   
   
  Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.

  Service - The Act of Helping -...

  Service is much more than a mere act of giving; it is a transformative experience that intertwines our personal growth with the welfare of others. At its core, service is an expression of compassion, empathy, and responsibility. It calls upon us to use our unique gifts to address the needs of our communities and to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. When we engage in service, we recognize that our contributions, no matter how small, have the potential to bring about significant change. 
  Understanding service begins with a deep reflection on our own lives. It requires us to assess our strengths and passions, asking ourselves what we can offer that might alleviate another’s struggle or enhance their quality of life. This process is not solely about what we do for others but also about how these actions enrich our own lives. The act of helping fosters a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can lead to personal development and a more resilient, positive mindset. 
  Service is also a powerful tool for building community. In a world where isolation and disconnection are increasingly prevalent, acts of service serve as a bridge that connects individuals from diverse backgrounds. Whether it is lending a hand to a neighbor, volunteering for a local charity, or engaging in community projects, each act of service contributes to a larger tapestry of collective well-being. These actions remind us that we are part of a larger whole and that every contribution is vital to the strength and success of our communities.
