Sinopse

Haiku Origins explores the captivating evolution of haiku, revealing its journey from classical Japanese poetry to a globally embraced art form. Delving into literary and cultural history, the book illuminates how elements like kigo (seasonal word) and kireji (cutting word) contribute to haiku's layered meanings within its concise structure.

 
Haiku's deceptively simple 5-7-5 syllable structure belies its profound artistry, offering a unique vessel for capturing fleeting moments and evoking emotions. The book traces haiku's roots in earlier Japanese forms like tanka and hokku, highlighting its development through the works of master poets such as Basho and Issa. Understanding haiku's historical context, including the influence of Zen Buddhism and the Edo period, is key to appreciating its significance.

 
Each chapter builds upon the last, beginning with historical predecessors and culminating in an examination of haiku's global spread and impact on other art forms. By analyzing original Japanese haiku and critical essays, Haiku Origins connects to broader fields like history, cultural studies, and linguistics. It emphasizes the dynamic interplay between form and content, showing how the constraints of the structure enhance creative possibilities, making it valuable to both academic readers and anyone interested in poetry or Japanese culture.

More than 2,400 years ago, Indian merchants traveling along the Silk Road introduced the world to an aromatic rice dish that would later become the Persian staple, pilaf. A couple of millennia down the line, the Mughals brought the dish back to the subcontinent and turned it into biryani. Meanwhile in the East, the Portuguese were busy inventing the evergreen Bengali icon, the rosogulla. Between biryani and rosogulla, is a fascinating story of how foreign foods came to conquer India.

A compelling evolutionary narrative that reveals how human civilization follows the same ecological rules that shape all life on Earth 
Offering a bold new understanding of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going, noted ecologist Mark Bertness argues that human beings and their civilization are the products of the same self-organization, evolutionary adaptation, and natural selection processes that have created all other life on Earth. Bertness follows the evolutionary process from the primordial soup of two billion years ago through today, exploring the ways opposing forces of competition and cooperation have led to current assemblages of people, animals, and plants. 
Bertness’s thoughtful examination of human history from the perspective of natural history provides new insights about why and how civilization developed as it has and explores how humans, as a species, might have to consciously overrule our evolutionary drivers to survive future challenges.
