Sinossi

Shadows Moved explores the surprising influence of shadows on history, science, and art. It examines how something as simple as a shadow has shaped our understanding of time, influenced artistic expression, and guided storytelling across cultures. The book argues that shadows, often overlooked, have played a crucial role in shaping our perception of the world.

 
The book delves into the history of sundials, demonstrating how these ancient timekeeping devices reflected the astronomical knowledge of their eras. It also analyzes shadow play, revealing its diverse expressions across cultures as entertainment, education, and social commentary. Furthermore, the book investigates the cognitive psychology behind shadow perception, explaining how our brains interpret shadows to construct a three-dimensional world.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the scientific principles of shadow formation and their historical context. It then details the evolution of sundials and other shadow-based timekeeping methods. Finally, it explores shadow play and its global variations.

 
By blending science, history, and art, Shadows Moved offers a unique perspective on the enduring relevance of shadows.

Race Rights and Rifles - The...

Alexandra Filindra

An eye-opening examination of the ties between American gun culture and white male supremacy from the American Revolution to today. 
 
 
 
One-third of American adults—approximately 86 million people—own firearms. This is not just for protection or hunting. Although many associate gun-centric ideology with individualist and libertarian traditions in American political culture, Race, Rights, and Rifles shows that it rests on an equally old but different foundation. Instead, Alexandra Frilindra shows that American gun culture can be traced back to the American Revolution when republican notions of civic duty were fused with a belief in white male supremacy and a commitment to maintaining racial and gender hierarchies. 
 
 
 
Drawing on wide-ranging historical and contemporary evidence, Race, Rights, and Rifles traces how this ideology emerged during the Revolution and became embedded in America's institutions, from state militias to the National Rifle Association (NRA). Utilizing original survey data, Filindra reveals how many white Americans—including those outside of the NRA's direct orbit—embrace these beliefs, and as a result, they are more likely than other Americans to value gun rights over voting rights, embrace antidemocratic norms, and justify political violence.
