Beschreibung

Landscape History investigates the profound ways landscapes influence human culture, thought, and creativity. It explores how our environment shapes literature, philosophy, and cultural identities worldwide, highlighting that landscapes are not merely backdrops, but active forces.

 
The book examines how landscapes serve as symbolic canvases, imbued with cultural meanings reflecting identity and memory. It also delves into how encounters with diverse terrains spark philosophical inquiries about humanity's place in the universe, existentialism, and consciousness.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with key concepts like environmental determinism and cultural landscape theory. It then presents case studies from various regions and historical periods, such as the pastoral landscape's impact on Romantic poetry and the urban environment's influence on modernist literature.

 
Finally, it synthesizes these arguments, discussing the implications of landscape history for environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and national identity. This interdisciplinary approach, drawing from literature, history, geography, philosophy, and art history, seeks to bridge scholarly research with general readership, providing a comprehensive understanding of our relationship with the environment.

    Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
     
     
     
    Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.

    The author and politician analyzes the troubled state of Britain’s post–World War II political and economic systems, and proposes a solution.When World War II ended for Great Britain in 1945, MP John Strachey wondered what he and his country were going to do with the freedom they had fought for and won. The men who ran the country before the war had taken England so far down the road to disaster that it seemed almost impossible to save. To prevent history from repeating itself, changes needed to be made.In Socialism Looks Forward, Strachey shares his plan to lead Great Britain into a prosperous future in which its people are free from want. Examining both political and economic factors, he breaks down why the system in Britain was in such disrepair prior to World War II, with some of its citizens being even better off during the war. He then outlines his proposed solution—Socialism—explaining what it would be like and how Britain could make it happen. Originally published in 1945, Socialism Looks Forward provides insight into Great Britain’s political and economic history in the post–World War II era, as well as an introduction to Socialist thought.

    Our lives are minefields of misinformation. It ripples through our social media feeds, our daily headlines, and the pronouncements of politicians, executives, and authors. Stories, statistics, and studies are everywhere, allowing people to find evidence to support whatever position they want. Many of these sources are flawed, yet by playing on our emotions and preying on our biases, they can gain widespread acceptance, warp our views, and distort our decisions. 
     
     
      
    In this eye-opening book, renowned economist Alex Edmans teaches us how to separate fact from fiction. Using colorful examples—from a wellness guru's tragic but fabricated backstory to the blunders that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster to the diet that ensnared millions yet hastened its founder's death—Edmans highlights the biases that cause us to mistake statements for facts, facts for data, data for evidence, and evidence for proof. 
     
     
      
    Armed with the knowledge of what to guard against, he then provides a practical guide to combat this tide of misinformation. Going beyond simply checking the facts and explaining individual statistics, Edmans explores the relationships between statistics—the science of cause and effect—ultimately training us to think smarter, sharper, and more critically.

    As a boy, Fee Stubblefield promised his fiercely independent grandmother that he would never “put her in an old folks’ home.” That aspirational promise, made with love and care, would be something he always remembered—and a commitment he eventually made within the senior housing and care industry.Seeking to create vibrant and engaging communities where we can thrive in our older years, Fee has encapsulated the best insights from his years in the industry in this book. He addresses everything from how to pick the right capital partners, hiring the best people for a culture of caring, introduces the concept of aspirational promises, addresses the deep issues in the industry exposed by Covid-19 and our attitudes toward a rapidly aging population.Fee’s passion was born of an unusual upbringing as part of a family that owned and operated Lehman Hot Springs and its sacred healing waters, a metaphor for the care needed by our senior citizens. He learned business lessons, like most entrepreneurs, through the difficulties and victories of the Springs Living communities. However, regardless of the lessons—the central core of the Culture of Promise is transparency, accountability, care, respect, and a commitment to the people at the heart of that promise.
