Synopsis

Cultural Gift Exchanges explores gift-giving as more than mere tradition, revealing its profound role in shaping societies. It examines how these exchanges establish social hierarchies and reinforce cultural values across diverse historical and cultural contexts. Gift-giving acts as a symbolic language, facilitating social cohesion and reflecting unique belief systems. For example, understanding gift exchanges can clarify how reciprocal actions build trust or how ritual behaviors solidify community bonds. 

 
The book progresses from introducing core anthropological concepts to detailed case studies, illustrating gift-giving's function as communication and social regulation. Drawing from anthropological surveys and ethnographic studies, it examines gift exchanges from traditional societies to modern consumer culture. This approach uniquely integrates material objects with symbolic meanings, offering insights into the motivations and consequences of gift exchange. 

 
Understanding this system is critical for interpreting social behavior and appreciating the diversity of human cultures.

    In this combo, you’ll find 4 different books, all related to the same, main topic: 
    Book 1: What is the dark side of human nature? 
    Do people look out for themselves or for each other? 
    Issues like these will be discussed in this brief but informational book. Topics like bullying, schizophrenia, other personality disorders, and domestic violence will be addressed. Last but not least, your thoughts will be altered about liars and the ethical dilemma of telling lies. 
    Book 2: Psychopaths and sociopaths are everywhere in our society. You may not realize it, but they are out there. Chances are that you know someone who is a sociopath and you don’t even know it. 
    So what is the difference? 
    And are they all dangerous? 
    Aside from answering these questions, we will also look into other topics that are related to manipulation. For example, we’ll go deeper into how to see if someone is manipulating you, or which sales tactics people use to make you buy something. 
    Book 3: What is emotional intelligence? Does it help us make better, more rational decisions? 
    Those are some of the things we will discuss here. Other things that will rise to the surface are things like the mind of a psychopath, sinister tactics governments use to spread propaganda through the news, and how we can detect lies and manipulation faster. 
    Book 4: People lie every day. Not everyone, but sadly, many people lie daily. But why? And how do you see what is true and what is not true? 
    This is where this book can help you. This book goes over the context of deception, the lies you can easily spot, and some interesting facts about people’s personality that will shock you. How a personality adds to the things they say, is, of course, significant.

    An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals—and our vital relationships with them 
     
     
     
    How to Care about Animals is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails—and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, these pieces are filled with surprises—anticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals. 
     
     
     
    Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe's pigs from the Odyssey make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we hear timeless Aesopian fables, including "The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg" and "The Fox and the Grapes"; and there is much, much more.
