Thoughts and Embellishments

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In this groundbreaking book, Pasquale De Marco explores the complex and fascinating world of semiology, the study of signs and symbols. Drawing on the work of Roland Barthes and other leading thinkers, Pasquale De Marco offers a fresh and accessible introduction to this important field.

Pasquale De Marco begins by examining the nature of signs and symbols, and how they are used to create meaning. He then explores the different ways that signs and symbols can be interpreted, and how these interpretations can vary depending on the context in which they are used.

Pasquale De Marco also discusses the role of signs and symbols in culture and society. He argues that signs and symbols are not simply neutral objects, but rather play an active role in shaping our understanding of the world. He also explores the ways in which signs and symbols can be used to manipulate and control people.

Finally, Pasquale De Marco considers the future of semiology. He argues that semiology is a vital tool for understanding the increasingly complex and interconnected world in which we live. He also calls for a new semiology that is more inclusive and democratic, and that can help us to create a more just and equitable world.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in semiology, cultural studies, or the study of language and communication. It is also a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand the role of signs and symbols in our everyday lives.

The Anti-Greed Gospel - Why the...

Malcolm Foley

"A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
 
 
 
Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
 
 
 
Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
 
 
 
Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
 
 
 
Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

Feminism in the Wild - How Human...

Melina Packer, Ambika Kamath

In Feminism in the Wild, Ambika Kamath and Melina Packer reveal how scientists studying animal behavior have long projected human norms and values onto animals while seeking to understand them. When scientific studies conclude that these norms and values are natural in animals, it makes it easier to think of them as natural in humans too. And because scientists, historically and to this day, largely belong to elite, powerful segments of society, the norms and values embedded into animal behavior science match those of the already powerful. How can animal behavior science escape this trap of naturalizing dominant culture? 
 
 
 
Drawing from decades of feminist, antiracist, queer, disability justice, and Marxist contributions—including those of biologists—Kamath and Packer break down persistent assumptions in the status quo of animal behavior science and offer a multitude of alternative approaches. Core concepts in animal behavior science and evolutionary biology are carefully contextualized and critically reexamined. This unique collaboration between an animal behavior scientist and a feminist science studies scholar is an illuminating and hopeful book for anyone who is curious about how animals behave, and anyone who wants to break free from scientific approaches that perpetuate systems of oppression.

Walking the Appalachian Trail

Larry Luxenberg

A fascinating portrait of the community of people—and one cat—who’ve traveled the trail end to end, by the founder of the Appalachian Trail Museum.   Countless hikers have walked stretches of the two-thousand-plus-mile Appalachian Trail, but only a small, deeply dedicated group has completed the trek all the way through from Georgia to Maine. This book explores the history of the trail through colorful profiles of those who are a part of this unique community and reveals the customs and culture that have evolved around them over the years.   From the sore muscles to the moments of solitude in nature, from the retired postmaster who parachuted onto the top of Springer Mountain to begin his journey to the woman who set out in tennis shoes because she couldn’t find women’s hiking boots in her size, Walking the Appalachian Trail explores questions of who these end-to-enders are, what drives them, what risks they face, and what rewards to body and soul they gain from this extraordinary walk.   Includes color photographs
