  Bad Nature - How Rat Control...

  Offers insights into the social and cultural implications of humans’ relationships with rats and the natural world. Apart from the occasional pet owner who has rats, most people regard rats as disease-carrying nocturnal pests, scurrying around dumpsters and dragging slices of pizza through New York City subways. Since rats are seemingly omnipresent in human life, why do we harbor such negative feelings about them, and why are they among the creatures most frequently targeted for systematic extermination?In Bad Nature, sociologist Andrew McCumber draws out the cultural underpinnings of rat extermination across three countries and two continents. Drawing from ethnographic, interview, and textual data from the frigid prairie of Alberta, Canada; the heart of downtown Los Angeles, California; and the iconic Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, McCumber studies how humans have sought to suppress and exterminate rat populations in a variety of environmental, social, and political situations. He shows how, in these disparate locations, rat control is a social practice that draws and clarifies the spatial and symbolic boundaries between “good” and “bad” forms of nature. Rats are near the bottom of a symbolic hierarchy of species that places human life at the top, companion animals and majestic wildlife just below them, and the “invasive species” that call for systematic extermination at the very bottom. This hierarchy of living things that places rats at the bottom, McCumber argues, mirrors human systems of social inequalities and power dynamics.  Both original and engaging, Bad Nature urges readers to consider, when charting a just and sustainable future, where will the rats be placed in the worlds we envision?

  The Roman Empire's Provinces - A...

  In the early days of the Roman Empire, provinces played a pivotal role in maintaining and expanding Roman control over vast territories. The establishment and management of these provinces were essential to Rome’s transition from a republic to an imperial power. As the empire grew, the need for efficient governance led to the development of a provincial system that would become the backbone of Roman administration. 
  The formation of Roman provinces began during the Republic, but it was under Augustus, the first emperor, that the system became more structured and organized. Augustus divided the provinces into two categories: senatorial and imperial. Senatorial provinces were typically peaceful and long-standing territories governed by proconsuls appointed by the Senate. In contrast, imperial provinces were often frontier areas or regions requiring a significant military presence, administered by legates appointed by the emperor. This division allowed Augustus to maintain control over the army while giving the Senate a role in governance. 
  Provincial boundaries were often drawn based on previous territorial conquests or strategic needs. As Rome continued to expand, new provinces were added, including those in the east after the defeat of Egypt and in the west following the conquest of Gaul and Hispania. Each new territory brought diverse cultures and
