Not Just Green, Not Just White : Race, Justice, and Environmental History
Not Just Green, Not Just White brings together a group of diverse contributors to explore the rich intersections between race and environment.Together these contributors demonstrate that the field of environmental history, with its core questions and critical engagement with the nonhuman world, provides a fertile context for understanding racism and ongoing colonialism as power structures in the United States. Earlier historiography has defined environmental history as the study of the changing relationships between humans and the environment—or nature.This volume aims to redefine the field, arguing that neither humans nor environment is a monolithic actor in any given story.Both humans and the environment are diverse, and often the environment causes conflict between and among peoples, leaving unequal access and power in its wake.Just as important, these histories often reveal how, despite unequal power, those who carry less privilege still persist. Together these essays demonstrate the promise of the field of environmental history and reveal how, when practitioners in the field decide to move away from “green” and “white” topics, they will be able to explain much more about our collective past than anyone ever imagined.

It's the Sun, Not Your SUV : Co2 Will Not Destroy The Earth
Global temperatures have increased since 1880. New data show that solar impacts (radiation and magnetic flux) have increased by the same amount and follow the dips in temperature from 1938 to 1970.The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says that, based upon computer models, increased solar absorption by CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are overwhelmingly the basis for temperature increases. But zigzag increases in global temperatures do not track with minor straight-line increased energy absorption by GHG.Rather, such increases follow closely the major zigzag changes in solar impacts emanating from our sun, no different from the past millions of years, as has been supported by multiple climatologists and other scientists.In short, if GHG play a role, it is minor in the 0.26% warming since 1880.The sun is responsible for the primary change, and political fixes such as envisaged in the Kyoto Treaty will not change global temperatures measurably but will mean a drastic decrease in worldwide output of goods, with calamitous effects on millions of people who are ill-prepared to suffer immense decreases in their standards of living. John Zyrkowski begins with the irrefutable, uncontested raw data available from government sources on temperature fluctuations, solar impacts of radiation and magnetic flux, and CO[subscript 2] absorption rates.He then uses Excel functions to demonstrate that the IPCC report used by proponents of the human cause of global warming is fatally flawed.The data doesn't provide the answer the IPCC said it would.The evidence is in. Before we go bankrupt, read It's the Sun, Not Your SUV and make up your own mind.

What is the difference between low culture and high culture in history?
Low culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more common, popular, and easily accessible to the general public. This can include things like popular music, television shows, and mass-produced literature. On the other hand, high culture refers to the cultural activities and products that are considered to be more refined, sophisticated, and often associated with the elite or educated classes. This can include things like classical music, fine art, and literature that is considered to be more intellectually challenging. The distinction between low and high culture has been a source of debate and has evolved over time, but it generally reflects the social and class divisions within a society.

Not by Genes Alone : How Culture Transformed Human Evolution
Humans are a striking anomaly in the natural world.While we are similar to other mammals in many ways, our behavior sets us apart.Our unparalleled ability to adapt has allowed us to occupy virtually every habitat on earth, and our societies are larger, more complex, and more cooperative than any other mammal's.In "Not by Genes Alone", Peter J. Richerson and Robert Boyd argue that only a Darwinian theory of cultural evolution can explain these unique characteristics. "Not by Genes Alone" offers a radical interpretation of human evolution, arguing that our ecological dominance and our singular social systems stem from a psychology uniquely adapted to create complex culture.Richerson and Boyd consider culture to be essential to human adaptation, as much a part of human biology as bipedal locomotion.Drawing on work in the fields of anthropology, political science, sociology, and economics - and building their case with such fascinating examples as kayaks, clever knots, and yams that require twelve men to carry them - Richerson and Boyd convincingly demonstrate that culture and biology are inextricably linked. In abandoning the nature-versus-nurture debate as fundamentally misconceived, "Not by Genes Alone" is a truly original and groundbreaking theory of the role of culture in evolution and a book to be reckoned with for generations to come.

Culture is Not an Industry : Reclaiming Art and Culture for the Common Good
Culture is at the heart of what it means to be human.But twenty-five years ago, the British government rebranded art and culture as ‘creative industries’, valued for their economic contribution, and set out to launch the UK as the creative workshop of a globalised world. Where does that leave art and culture now? Facing exhausted workers and a lack of funding and vision, culture finds itself in the grip of accountancy firms, creativity gurus and Ted Talkers.At a time of sweeping geo-political turmoil, culture has been de-politicised, its radical energies reduced to factors of industrial production.This book is about what happens when an essential part of our democratic citizenship, fundamental to our human rights, is reduced to an industry. Culture is not an industry argues that art and culture need to renew their social contract and re-align with the radical agenda for a more equitable future.Bold and uncompromising, the book offers a powerful vision for change. -- .

The boy and the girl have been married for decades, mostly getting along as they go about their lives.But one day, like thousands of people around the world, the boy vanishes, and the girl is left to wait, wonder, and worry.Will he return? Who might she be if she moves on without him?This is a world where every morning the cat gets fed and the coffee gets made, but also one in which God sometimes lives in the garage – she likes to sleep on the freezer – and gigantic words can fall from the sky.Not Anywhere, Just Not cracks open the small dramas of our lives to show the dread and wonder inside all of us. "Ken Sparling is a brilliant writer and this book, like all his books, is a beauty.Sparling chronicles the times I fear most—the moments of loneliness, of loss, of ennui—and somehow makes them seem worthwhile, even wondrous, and often flat-out funny.His work makes life look livable, which makes him a wizard to me." – Derek McCormack, author of Castle Faggot"A gorgeous rendition of the domestic uncanny, Not Anywhere, Just Not is an ostensibly quiet book that slowly and carefully unnerves and unsettles you--both because of its precise swapping out of reality and because of just how familiar it so often seems.All of us, Sparling seems to say, are on the verge of vanishing at any moment." – Brian Evenson, author of Song for the Unraveling of the World
