Egalitarianism

Set in Tel Aviv's Bitcoin Embassy between 2017 and 2019, Community in a Crowd explores the everyday activities and social dynamics of Israeli Bitcoin enthusiasts. It examines how participants promoted Libertarian narratives and ritualized practices to challenge the moral authority of the 'centralized' political-economic order. Revisiting Bitcoin's popular association with radical individualism, the book contrasts the sprawling, impersonal crowds of online trading with the formation of an intimate, egalitarian community through in-person encounters. Advancing a new theoretical framework, it offers insights into contemporary mass movements grounded in techno-utopian visions of society and reconsiders how decentralized technologies foster both anonymity and solidarity.

An Interdisciplinary Investigation of Loneliness

From a necessary act of survival to some of the most disturbing crimes in history to its often sensationalized and misunderstood role in certain cultures, cannibalism remains a fascinating yet taboo topic. Cannibalism around the World features more than 100 reference entries that examine cannibalism from a myriad of perspectives. Readers will discover the important cultural, spiritual, and symbolic roles cannibalism has played around the globe, from the Catholic Eucharist to sacrificial cannibalism among the Aztecs to appease the gods to the practice of some Fijian peoples of consuming enemies killed in battle to absorb their strength. The encyclopedia examines well-known incidents of survival cannibalism, such as the ill-fated Donner Party and the starvation conditions of labor camps during World War II. Entries on high-profile criminal cannibals such as Jeffrey Dahmer are also included. The book also explores cannibalism in written and oral stories, such as the fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel and the Native American myth of the Wendigo. Cannibalism's portrayal in pop culture is also discussed. Taken together, these entries offer readers a broad yet highly nuanced view of this controversial subject grounded in rigorous anthropological scholarship.

A fresh view on an age-old topic In Introduction to Geobiology the authors systematically introduce the interaction between the geosphere and the biosphere and its evolutionary history. Readers will find (1) the interaction between living and inorganic environments, emphasizing the geological significance of metabolism and the phenomena of life in extreme environments; (2) the geobiological role and geological record of complex ecosystems composed of microbial membranes and microbial mats; (3) the material and energy cycles between the geosphere and the biosphere; (4) Geological imprints of biological processes, including biomineralization, biosedimentary diagenesis, and biological weathering of minerals and rocks; (5) The co-evolution process between organisms and the environment. Introduction to Geobiology is aimad at senior undergraduate and graduate students in geology or microbiology wishing to learn about geobiology and the origin of life on Earth. It also provides a great foundation for the study of astrobiology, i. e. the conditions under which life on other planets may develop.
