Sinopse

In "The Journey to the Polar Sea," John Franklin embarks on a daring expedition, chronicling his experiences in a profoundly evocative narrative style that blends adventure with meticulous detail. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century Arctic, this historical account captures the hardships and complexities of exploration in uncharted territories. Franklin's vivid prose and insightful observations illuminate not only the stark beauty of the frozen landscape but also the intricate dynamics between human endurance and nature's formidable forces, making the text a pivotal contribution to the literature of exploration and adventure. John Franklin, a British naval officer and explorer, was profoundly shaped by his career in Arctic exploration, having undertaken several voyages prior to this ambitious journey. His extensive knowledge of navigational techniques, indigenous cultures, and the natural sciences lends authority to his narrative, while his experiences of previous expeditions deeply inform the themes of survival and ambition woven throughout the text. Franklin's sincerity in recounting both triumph and despair reveals a multifaceted character driven by an unquenchable thirst for discovery. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in the resilient spirit of exploration will find "The Journey to the Polar Sea" a captivating and enriching experience. Franklin's sincere reflections on the trials faced in one of nature's most inhospitable environments resonate deeply, reminding us of the human spirit's capacity to endure. This book is not just a tale of adventure but a profound exploration of humanity's relationship with the unknown.

    When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.

    Histories of Racial Capitalism

    The relationship between race and capitalism is one of the most enduring and controversial historical debates. The concept of racial capitalism offers a way out of this impasse. Racial capitalism is not simply a permutation, phase, or stage in the larger history of capitalism—since the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade and the colonization of the Americas, capitalism, in both material and ideological senses, has been racial, deriving social and economic value from racial classification and stratification. Although Cedric J. Robinson popularized the term, racial capitalism has remained undertheorized for nearly four decades. 
     
     
     
    Histories of Racial Capitalism brings together for the first time distinguished and rising scholars to consider the utility of the concept across historical settings. These scholars offer dynamic accounts of the relationship between social relations of exploitation and the racial terms through which they were organized, justified, and contested. Throughout, the contributors consider and challenge how some claims about the history and nature of capitalism are universalized while others remain marginalized. By theorizing and testing the concept of racial capitalism in different historical circumstances, this book shows its analytical and political power for today's scholars and activists.

    The world gasped in April 2015 as Baltimore erupted and Black Lives Matter activists, incensed by Freddie Gray's brutal death in police custody, shut down highways and marched on city streets. In The Black Butterfly—a reference to the fact that Baltimore's majority-Black population spreads out on both sides of the coveted strip of real estate running down the center of the city like a butterfly's wings—Lawrence T. Brown reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country. 
     
     
     
    Putting Baltimore under a microscope, Brown looks closely at the causes of segregation, many of which exist in current legislation and regulatory policy. Drawing on social science research, policy analysis, and archival materials, Brown reveals the long history of racial segregation's impact on health, from toxic pollution to police brutality. 
     
     
     
    Brown offers a clear five-step plan for activists, nonprofits, and public officials to achieve racial equity. Brown offers up a wide range of innovative solutions to help heal and restore redlined Black neighborhoods, including municipal reparations. The Black Butterfly demonstrates that America cannot reflect that Black lives matter until we see how Black neighborhoods matter.
