Sinopse

Public Touch Norms explores the fascinating world of physical contact customs across cultures, examining how societies establish and maintain rules for acceptable public touching. This comprehensive study weaves together insights from evolutionary biology, social psychology, and anthropology to understand how touch behaviors shape human interactions and social cohesion worldwide.The book uniquely combines historical research with contemporary findings, presenting evidence from a groundbreaking study spanning 40 countries. Through detailed case studies and observational research, readers discover how factors like climate, religion, and historical events influence touching customs in different societies. For instance, the research reveals how traditional greeting practices evolve in response to urbanization and technological change, while also examining how cultural differences in personal space boundaries affect cross-cultural communication.Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from the biological foundations of touch to specific cultural case studies, concluding with an analysis of how modern factors like technology and global migration are reshaping traditional customs. The author presents complex concepts through accessible examples and clear explanations, making sophisticated research findings approachable for both academic and general readers.This systematic approach to understanding touch norms offers practical applications for business professionals, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in improving cross-cultural interactions in our increasingly interconnected world.

    "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
     
     
     
    How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
     
     
     
    In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
     
     
     
    Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
     
     
     
    Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

    Offences Against One's Self:...

    Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He is best known as an early advocate of utilitarianism and animal rights who influenced the development of liberalism. The essay Offences Against One's Self (c. 1785), argued for the liberalisation of laws prohibiting homosexuality. The essay remained unpublished during Bentham's lifetime for fear of offending public morality. It was finally published for the first time in 1931. (Wikipedia) This recording was catalogued on 28th July 2007, the 40th anniversary of the coming into force in the UK of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which decriminalised male homosexuality for the first time (though with restrictions).

    Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
     
     
     
    Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
     
     
     
    In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

    Sumerians - Their History...

    The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr. 
    Most historical analysts believe that Sumer was first completely occupied between c. 5500 and 4000 BC by a West Asian population who spoke the Sumerian language, a non-Semitic and non-Indo-European agglutinative language isolate (as evidenced by the names of cities, rivers, standard professions, and so on). It wasn't an inflected language, in contrast to its Semitic cousins. 
    Go ahead and get stared, and get to know more about the Sumerians, what they did, who they were, and why so many people know so little about them.
