Synopsis

"The Sand Structure" explores the surprisingly complex world of sand, revealing its fundamental role in shaping our planet and supporting human society. The book examines sand from its geological origins, tracing its journey from the weathering of rocks to its accumulation in diverse environments like deserts and beaches. Did you know that the composition of sand can vary dramatically depending on its source, ranging from quartz-rich grains to volcanic sands? Understanding these variations provides crucial insights into Earth's geological history and helps us predict future environmental changes.

 
The book then delves into the geomorphological significance of sand, particularly in the formation of deserts and coastlines. Deserts, often seen as barren, are showcased as dynamic landscapes sculpted by wind-blown sand. The book also addresses the critical function of sand in protecting beaches from coastal erosion, a growing concern due to climate change.

 
Finally, "The Sand Structure" investigates the industrial applications of sand, highlighting its essential role in construction, glass manufacturing, and even fracking. The book progresses by exploring the creation and variety of sand, then its impact on the environment, and finally its industrial uses, emphasizing the need for sustainable management of this vital natural resource amidst growing concerns like sand mining and its environmental consequences.

Marx for Cats - A Radical Bestiary

Leigh Claire La Berge

At the outset of Marx for Cats, Leigh Claire La Berge declares that "all history is the history of cat struggle." Revising the medieval bestiary form to meet Marxist critique, La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism's feudal prehistory, its colonialist and imperialist ages, the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism, and the communist revolutions that opposed it to outline how cats have long been understood as creatures of economic critique and liberatory possibility. By attending to the repeated archival appearance of lions, tigers, wildcats, and "sabo-tabbies," La Berge argues that felines are central to how Marxists have imagined the economy, and by asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis, La Berge joins current debates about the need for and possibility of eco-socialism. In this playful and radical bestiary, La Berge demonstrates that class struggle is ultimately an interspecies collaboration.
