Everett Caleb: A Myriad of Tongues

A Myriad of Tongues

How Languages Reveal Differences in How We Think

Gefühle sichtbar und unwiderstehlich machen - das gelingt Kleine Freunde mit Gefühl. Lauren Martin, bekannt für ihre fröhlichen, pointierten Illustrationen, verwandelt Emotionen in kleine Charaktere, die sofort ans Herz gehen: ein wackeliger Wackelpudding für Schüchternheit, eine sprudelnde Brause für Aufregung. So entsteht ein Pappbilderbuch, das Kinder beim Entdecken von Gefühlen begleitet - und Erwachsene mit seiner Klarheit, seinem Witz und seiner Gestaltung begeistert. Ein erstes Buch über Emotionen, das gleichzeitig Designobjekt und Sammlerstück ist.

CRESC

Shanghai actively uses culture to promote itself as a global city. This book explores how this has been conceived and pursued, and what questions it raises for notions of 'culture' and 'economy' as understood in the West. If theoretical work around the 'cultural economy' has problematized these two, this book locates these debates empirically in a non-western metropolis.

Red Creative: Culture and Modernity in China

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a conservation approach designed to ensure that any development or land-use change results in a measurable increase in biodiversity compared to the baseline conditions prior to the project. This concept transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlight how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It looks at key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

The Radical Imagination

Since its initial 2011 publication, Theory from the South has stimulated a new field of inquiry from leading scholars, while world developments have escalated and supported its original thesis of how "Euroamerica has evolved toward Africa." Not least of these is the many resemblances of the Trump presidency to that of Jacob Zuma, transformations in the nature of many of the world's Northern democracies, the rise of populist politics, the intensifying hold of private capital over functions of the state, sharpening inequalities, and the transformation of labor. In a new chapter for this expanded edition, the Comaroffs extend their theorizing around and beyond these new developments. Critique and discussion by several prominent commentators round out this new edition: Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio.

Theory from the South, Revisited

In her latest novel, Pura Belpré Award–winning author Carolina Ixta weaves a tender story about love and hope, following a teen as she works to protect her family and community from a major corporation taking over her town.Paloma Vistamontes is heartbroken. A year ago, her ex-boyfriend, Julio Ramos, broke up with her after his father’s death, a tragedy that drove Paloma and him apart. Ever since then, the mountains have felt flatter, the sky farther away.Now, her hometown of San Fermín, a place where honest people work on farms and in factories, is in danger. Selva, a massive e-commerce conglomerate, threatens to open one of their warehouses beside her high school.This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. Since Selva arrived, they’ve opened warehouses everywhere where there used to be green spaces. Because of them, the air pollution is so bad that school is often canceled. Many people, including Paloma’s ever-practical Ma, want to leave.But Paloma wants nothing more than to stay. Because when the smog clears, there is still hope. That hope drives Paloma to reconnect with Julio to expose and challenge the dangers that Selva introduces to communities like their own. Can they stop Selva from destroying everything they know? Is there still a chance for their budding romance?

Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked reveals a critical oversight in global climate action: the failure to integrate property law into climate policy and regulatory frameworks.Through systematic analysis of mitigation and adaptation strategies, Property Law and Climate Change: Inextricably Linked demonstrates how the neglect of property law fundamentals undermines the effectiveness of climate responses, with particular focus on Australia and New Zealand. The book offers both diagnosis and direction, examining why current approaches fall short and identifying how property law integration could strengthen climate responses. From land use planning to coastal adaptation and carbon sequestration, the authors demonstrate that property law must be integrated within climate change policy. By mapping these crucial connections, this book provides a roadmap for developing regulatory frameworks that work with, rather than against, existing property systems.This book will appeal to researchers in the fields of property law, environmental law and governance, and comparative law. It will also be of interest to policymakers, lawmakers, urban planners, and legal practitioners.

'Engrossing, richly informative . . . challenges us to rethink universal health benchmarks' New Yorker A new way of thinking about diversity and what really unites us, from the internationally renowned author of Burn Real diversity isn't skin deep. Over the past 100,000 years, as humans expanded into every biome on the planet, our bodies and our cultures have been fine-tuned to our local environments. Beyond the physical demands of our climate, we live our lives immersed in ideas and norms that affect what we eat, how we move and why we get sick - all of which, in turn, affect how our bodies work. As an evolutionary anthropologist conducting ground-breaking research with human populations around the globe, Herman Pontzer has come to see much more clearly how our genes and environments combine to shape our bodies and our health: for better or worse. In this book, he takes us on a tour of the human body and the surprising ways it can change in response to its environment: from the Andean groups who have developed increased lung capacity to the Sama divers who have larger spleens. He also highlights the critical ways we misinterpret biological adaptations: in healthcare, public policy and individual choices. With so much of our wellbeing and public discourse centred on human biology, a clear understanding of the distinction between socially constructed and genetic differences is more important than ever. This timely reappraisal of an overlooked science is an essential guide to our remarkable bodies.

Very Short Introductions

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Asians have migrated to North America for centuries, in search of opportunities and conveyed by increasingly dense, international circuits of trade, labor markets, and family networks. Drawn by the riches promised by the relatively undeveloped, but not unpopulated, New World, Asians joined a diverse array of immigrants arriving in capacities such as merchants, farmers, fishermen, soldiers, missionaries, artists and artisans, industrial and agricultural laborers, technicians and scientists, journalists, sailors, diplomats, tourists, bankers, students, and entrepreneurs of every stripe. They contributed significantly to the massive transformation of the United States into the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, particularly on the west coast and Hawaii. Unlike their European counterparts, however, Asians challenged American conceptions of racial homogeneity and national culture which produced legislative and institutional efforts to segregate them through immigration laws, restrictions on citizenship, and limits on employment, property ownership, access to public services, and civil rights. Only with World War II, the Cold War, and the Civil Rights era's remaking of racial ideologies and forging of a more egalitarian, multiethnic democracy Asian Americans have gained ground and acceptance, albeit in the still stereotyped category of "model minorities." Asian American History: A Very Short Introduction provides a narrative interpretation of key themes that emerge in the history of Asian migrations to North America. Clearly written and elegantly argued, this book complements typical American history narratives by highlighting how Asian immigration has shaped the evolution of ideological and legal interpretations of America as a "nation of immigrants." ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

A Very Short Introduction

Asian American History

A ground-breaking look at the science of love and connection - and an urgent corrective to some of our most fundamental assumptions about attraction. 'In a world saturated with cynical advice about dating and gender, this book is a revelation.' DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and The Power of Regret 'One of the most joyfully uplifting antidotes to 21st-century gloom.' THE TIMES --------------------- We're told that what men and women desire from relationship is different - he's looking for novelty, she's looking for commitment; he's concerned with looks, she's concerned with status. We're told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality - where some are 10s and others are 2s; where some people are marriage material and others are wired for promiscuity. But this narrative is unscientific. Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety - and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence. But the truth about human attraction - and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives - is much more interesting and optimistic. Bonded by Evolution offers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology and informed by his pathbreaking research and original experiments at the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory in California, psychology professor Paul Eastwick reveals how attraction is best depicted as a process of finding - and, often, creating - a compatible relationship. Once we understand how ancestral humans sought compatible partners in small networks, we can build a clearer - and brighter - picture of how attraction, sex and relationships really work. --------------------- More praise for Bonded by Evolution: 'Profound and pragmatic, suggesting an entirely different approach to the study - and pursuit - of love.' ERIC KLINENBERG, co-author of Modern Romance 'Rarely have scientific rigor and exuberant optimism been such congenial companions . . . Bonded by Evolution presents an optimistic new paradigm, one that provides clear guidance for romantic success.' ELI FINKEL, author of The All or Nothing Marriage

What We’ve Got Wrong About Love and Connection

Bonded by Evolution

New York Times Bestseller and #1 Los Angeles Times BestsellerA "gripping, unshakeable firsthand account" (San Francisco Chronicle) of the firestorm that consumed Los Angeles, from the MS NOW reporter and New York Times bestselling author of Separated, who covered the fires on the ground as an LA native."Read[s] like a sci-fi thriller.” —Los Angeles TimesOn the morning of January 7, 2025, a message pinged the phone of Jacob Soboroff, a national reporter for MS NOW. “Big Palisades fire. We are evacuating,” his brother texted within minutes of the blaze engulfing the hillside behind the home where he and his pregnant wife were living. “Really bad.” An attached photo showed a huge black plume rising from behind the house, an umbrella of smoke towering over everything they owned. Jacob rushed to the office of the bureau chief.“I should go. I grew up in the Palisades.”Soon he was on the front line of the blaze—his first live report of what would turn out to be weeks covering unimaginable destruction, from both the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, in Altadena. In the days to come, Soboroff appeared across the networks of NBC News as Los Angeles was ablaze, met with displaced residents and workers, and pressed Governor Gavin Newsom in an interview on Meet the Press. But no story Soboroff has covered at home or abroad—the trauma of family separation at the border, the displacement of the war in Ukraine, the collapse of order in Haiti—could have prepared him for reporting live as the hallmarks of his childhood were engulfed in flames around him while his hometown burned to the ground.But for Soboroff, questions remained after the fires were controlled: what had he just witnessed? How could it have happened? Is it inevitable something like it will happen again? This set Soboroff off on months of reporting—with firefighters, fire victims, political leaders, academics, earth scientists, wildlife biologists, meteorologists and more—that made him keenly aware of how the misfortune of seeing his past carbonize was also a form of time travel into the dystopian world his children will inhabit. This is because the 2025 LA fires were not an isolated tragedy, but rather they are a harbinger—"the fire of the future," in the words of one senior emergency—management official.Firestorm is the story of the costliest wildfire in American history, the people it affected and the deeply personal connection to one journalist covering it. It is a love letter to Los Angeles, a yearning to understand the fires, and why America’s new age of disaster we are living through portends that—without a reckoning of how Los Angeles burned—there is more yet, and worse, to come.
