Sinossi

Nut Gathering Ways explores the surprisingly significant role of nut gathering in forest ecosystems, examining how both animals and humans collect and utilize nuts and the impacts of these activities on forest health and biodiversity. The book uncovers the ecological importance of nuts, revealing how they influence forest structure, species distribution, and overall ecosystem resilience.

 
Did you know that nut collection, whether by squirrels or humans, is a keystone process? Sustainable nut harvesting is shown to be essential for healthy forests, providing food for wildlife and humans alike.

 
The book progresses by first surveying nut collection techniques across different species, from scatter-hoarding to deliberate harvesting. It highlights the ecological consequences of these practices, such as their effects on seed dispersal and seedling recruitment.

 
A unique aspect of the book is how it connects human and animal nut gathering practices, traditionally studied apart, to show their shared ecological impacts. By integrating perspectives from ecology, botany, anthropology, and nutrition, the book provides a holistic understanding of the complex relationship between nut collection and forest ecosystems.

In the Shadow of Diagnosis -...

Regina Kunzel

A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
  
In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

Fermi Remembered

James W. Cronin

Nobel laureate and scientific luminary Enrico Fermi (1901-54) was a pioneering nuclear physicist whose contributions to the field were numerous, profound, and lasting. Best known for his involvement with the Manhattan Project and his work at Los Alamos that led to the first self-sustained nuclear reaction and ultimately to the production of electric power and plutonium for atomic weapons, Fermi's legacy continues to color the character of the sciences at the University of Chicago. During his tenure as professor of physics at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, Fermi attracted an extraordinary scientific faculty and many talented students—ten Nobel Prizes were awarded to faculty or students under his tutelage. Born out of a symposium held to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of Fermi's birth, Fermi Remembered combines essays and newly commissioned reminiscences with private material from Fermi's research notebooks, correspondence, speech outlines, and teaching to document the profound and enduring significance of Fermi's life and labors. The volume also features extensives archival material—including correspondence between Fermi and biophysicist Leo Szilard and a letter from Harry Truman—with new introductions that provide context for both the history of physics and the academic tradition at the University of Chicago. Edited by James W. Cronin, a University of Chicago physicist and Nobel laureate himself, Fermi Remembered is a tender tribute to one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century.
