Описание: Being human while trying to scientifically study human nature confronts us with our most vexing problem. What we need to move forward in our understanding of human agency, this book argues, is a reform in the way we study ourselves and a long overdue break with traditional humanist thinking.

Описание: In the modern West, we take for granted that what we call the natural world confronts us all and always has but we are wrong. In reality, nature is a human construct. "Before Nature" is an exploration of that almost unimaginable time when there was no such thing as nature no word, reference, or sense for it.
Long before the concept of nature formed over the long history of European philosophy and science, our ancestors in ancient Assyria and Babylonia developed the cuneiform script, the earliest system of writing used for documenting and observing the world in a way not wholly dissimilar to our modern science With "Before Nature," Francesca Rochberg explores that Assyro-Babylonian knowledge tradition and shows how it relates to the history of science, despite not being focused around a conscious category of nature. From a modern, Western perspective, a world not conceived somehow within the framework of physical nature is difficult if not impossible to imagine. Yet, as Rochberg lays out, ancient Assyro-Babylonian investigations of regularity and irregularity, norms and anomalies clearly established an axis of knowledge between the knower and an intelligible, ordered world. Rochberg is the first scholar to make a case for how exactly we can understand cuneiform knowledge, prediction, and explanation in relation to science without recourse to later ideas of nature. Systematically examining the whole of Mesopotamian science from a remarkable analytic and historical perspective, "Before Nature "will open up surprising new pathways for studying the history of science.

Описание: Pesents a collaboration between acclaimed artist Samuel Bak and poet/author Carol Dine. Presenting a unique dialogue on the subject of the Holocaust, the cumulative effect of Bak`s paintings and drawings and Dine`s poetic commentary transcends the artists` individual talents. Their vision creates an intimate confrontation with history, as well as a belief in the healing power of art.

Описание: Crimes against Nature reveals the hidden history behind three of the nation's first parklands: the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. Focusing on conservation's impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these "crimes" and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
