Sinossi

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.

    Discover the Book That Defined an Entire Genre of Thought.
    
    First published in 1516, Sir Thomas More's Utopia remains one of the most influential works of Western literature. Written as a playful yet biting social satire, the book introduces readers to a distant island nation where private property is abolished, religious tolerance is practiced, and every citizen works for the common good.
    
    Through a fictional dialogue with the traveler Raphael Hythloday, More presents a radical alternative to the corruption and inequality of 16th-century Europe. While the title famously translates to "No Place," the questions More raises about justice, wealth distribution, and the role of the state continue to resonate in modern political debate.
    
    This definitive edition offers the complete, unabridged text of this Renaissance masterpiece. A cornerstone of Humanist thought and political philosophy, Utopia is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of ideas or the eternal search for a perfect world.
    
    Explore the foundation of social idealism. Buy "Utopia" today and challenge your perspective on society.

    General Ulysses S. Grant is best remembered today as a war-winning general, and he certainly deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of the Union. But has he received too much credit? Have others who fought the war with him suffered unfairly? General Grant and the Verdict of History explores these issues. 
     
     
     
    Professor Frank P. Varney examines Grant's relationship with three noted Civil War generals: the brash and uncompromising "Fighting Joe" Hooker; George H. Thomas, the commander who earned the sobriquet "Rock of Chickamauga"; and Gouverneur Kemble Warren, who served honorably in every major action of the Army of the Potomac before being relieved less than two weeks before Appomattox. 
     
     
     
    Dr. Varney had studied the tempestuous relationship between Grant and Union General William S. Rosecrans. During the war, Rosecrans was considered to be on par with Grant himself; today, he is largely forgotten. Rosecrans's star dimmed, argues Varney, because Grant orchestrated the effort. Grant used official reports, interviews with the press, and his memoirs to influence how future generations would remember the war and his part in it. Aided greatly by his two terms as president, his memoirs, and the dramatic backdrop against which those memoirs were written, our historical memory has been influenced to a degree greater than many realize.

    Public and political interest in social entrepreneurship (SE) is increasing while it remains a contested and ambiguous concept. Philipp Kenel traces the popular media representation of SE in Germany over time (1999—2021), making an important empirical contribution to the sociological and political understanding of the phenomenon. He shows that until 2008, SE was mainly understood as a reform of the welfare infrastructure (including public and non-profit institutions). From 2009, SE was increasingly conceptualised as part of the economy, while sometimes challenging and other times reaffirming mainstream economic logics. More recently, in somewhat competing perspectives, SE has been framed as part of the ›start-up‹ world or as a force for deeper social and ecological transformation.

    If you have an eating disorder, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating, or emotional eating, you may also struggle with negative body image that's made worse by diet culture, television, magazines, movies, and social media. And, despite popular belief, not all people who struggle with eating disorders are tiny or thin. Eating disorders can affect people of all genders, ethnicities, and ages—as well as all shapes and sizes. That's why you need a weight-inclusive approach—one that prioritizes your mental and physical health without perpetuating weight stigma. 
     
    Written by three clinical psychologists who specialize in eating disorders, this workbook offers a powerful new approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) called CBT-Weight Inclusive (CBT-WI), to help you heal from body shame, reject diet culture, and find lasting recovery. You will never be asked to weigh yourself, compute your BMI, or restrict your eating. Instead, you will discover insights to help you better understand your eating disorder, and find proven-effective tools and strategies to cultivate radical body acceptance. This workbook will help you overcome the negative, internalized messages about weight that are perpetuated by diet culture, so you can feel at home in your body, improve your mental and physical health, and make positive changes in all aspects of your life.
