Synopsis

Augustan Age Culture explores the pivotal role of literature in shaping the Roman Empire under Augustus. This book examines how writers like Virgil, Horace, and Ovid were instrumental in crafting a new "golden age," promoting Augustan ideology, and solidifying a distinct Roman identity. Augustus strategically used literature as political propaganda to legitimize his rule and instill unity, demonstrating the profound connection between cultural production and imperial power.

 
The book illuminates how the Aeneid became a foundational text for Roman identity, while Horace's odes celebrated the era's peace and prosperity.

 
The book progresses systematically, first establishing the historical and social context of Augustan Rome, then delving into specific literary works and genres to analyze their role in propagating Augustan ideology. By providing detailed textual analysis and drawing on recent scholarship, Augustan Age Culture offers readers a comprehensive understanding of this complex era. This approach highlights the agency of writers in shaping their culture, presenting a nuanced view beyond simple propaganda.

    If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
     
     
      
    Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

    How the New Deal Built Florida...

    Countering the conventional narrative that Florida's tourism industry suffered during the Great Depression, this book shows that the 1930s were the starting point for much that characterizes modern Florida's tourism. David Nelson argues that state and federal government programs designed to reboot the economy during this decade are crucial to understanding the state today. 
     
     
     
    Nelson examines the impact of three connected initiatives—the federal New Deal, its Civilian Conservation Corps program (CCC), and the CCC's creation of the Florida Park Service. He reveals that the CCC designed state parks to reinforce the popular image of Florida as a tropical, exotic, and safe paradise. The CCC often removed native flora and fauna, introduced exotic species, and created artificial landscapes that were then presented as natural. Nelson discusses how Florida business leaders benefitted from federally funded development and the ways residents and business owners rejected or supported the commercialization and shifting cultural identity of their state. 
     
     
     
    A detailed look at a unique era in which the state government sponsored the tourism industry, helped commodify natural resources, and boosted mythical ideas of the "Real Florida" that endure today, this book makes the case that the creation of the Florida Park Service is the story of modern Florida.

    As we delve deeper into this topic, we will navigate the intricate web of influences that drive these behaviors. From the powerful force of peer pressure to the allure of projecting a particular social image, urban youth often find themselves at a crossroads where their choices are influenced by a myriad of factors. The accessibility of vaping products and drugs in urban environments, coupled with the lack of awareness about their consequences, further complicates the landscape. Moreover, we will explore how, for some urban youth, vaping and substance use serve as coping mechanisms for the stress, trauma, and mental health challenges they face. The quest for social acceptance and recognition may sometimes lead them down a path of experimentation that can have lasting implications. 
     This exploration is not merely an academic exercise but a crucial endeavor to shed light on the dynamics of urban youth culture and to provide insights that can inform prevention and intervention strategies. By understanding the motivations behind these behaviors, I aim to empower educators, parents, community leaders, and the youth themselves to make informed decisions and foster healthier environments. Each chapter of this book will delve into a different facet of this complex issue, offering perspectives, research findings, and strategies for addressing the challenges posed by vaping and substance use among urban youth. Through knowledge and understanding, we can work collectively to support urban youth in making choices that lead to healthier and more positive outcomes. 
    Join me on this journey of exploration and discovery as we seek to comprehend why urban youth smoke vapes and do drugs to impress their peers and, in doing so, strive to create a better future for them and their communities.

    What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
     
     
      
    From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
     
     
      
    Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.
