Robert J. Braidwood

Sinopse

In "Prehistoric Men," Robert J. Braidwood presents an exhaustive examination of human societies before the dawn of recorded history, utilizing archaeological evidence to reconstruct their daily lives, social structures, and technological advancements. Braidwood's literary style is characterized by a thorough academic rigor merged with accessible prose, enriching the reader's understanding of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods. The book contributes to the growing discourse on prehistory by situating the development of early human communities within broader cultural and environmental contexts, showcasing the intricate relationship between humans and their habitats. As a pioneering figure in the field of archaeology, Braidwood's extensive fieldwork in the Middle East, particularly in areas like ancient Mesopotamia, profoundly influenced his understanding of early human behavior and adaptive strategies. His academic journey reflects a deep engagement with the artifacts, which inspired him to demystify the complexities of prehistoric life for a wider audience, bridging the gaps between scientific inquiry and human narratives.

Old Gods New Enigmas - Marx's...

Mike Davis

Marx has returned, but which Marx? Recent biographies have proclaimed him to be an emphatically nineteenth-century figure, but in this book, Mike Davis's first directly about Marx and Marxism, a thinker comes to light who speaks to the present as much as the past. In a series of searching, propulsive essays, Davis, the bestselling author of City of Quartz and recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, explores Marx's inquiries into two key questions of our time: Who can lead a revolutionary transformation of society? And what is the cause—and solution—of the planetary environmental crisis? 
 
Davis consults a vast archive of labor history to illuminate new aspects of Marx's theoretical texts and political journalism. He offers a "lost Marx," whose analyzes of historical agency, nationalism, and the "middle landscape" of class struggle are crucial to the renewal of revolutionary thought in our darkening age. Davis presents a critique of the current fetishism of the "anthropocene," which suppresses the links between the global employment crisis and capitalism's failure to ensure human survival in a more extreme climate. In a finale, Old Gods, New Enigmas looks backward to the great forgotten debates on alternative socialist urbanism (1880–1934) to find the conceptual keys to a universal high quality of life in a sustainable environment.

Violence and the Sacred

René Girard

Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.
