‘Licentious Liberty’ In A Brazilian Gold-Mining Region $9.95 To studies of Brazilian slavery this book adds a new dimension by showing how it developed in a region where mining was the chief commercial activity and how important a role gender played in this frontier setting in creating opportunities for slaves to achieve some measure of autonomy, compared with slaves who worked in sugar-cane and coffee-growing areas.The interactions among masters, slaves, and royal officials were profoundly shaped by the accessibility and widespread dispersal of gold deposits, the emergence of small urban centers in which commercial activities thrived, the sexual division of labor among slaves working in mining and commerce, and the changing sex ratio within the population of free white colonists settling in the region.Focusing attention on the changing status, autonomy, and influence of nonwhite women, the author argues, is one of the most effective ways of understanding the economic, demographic, and cultural evolution of the slave society as a whole.Kathleen J. Higgins is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Iowa. |

1001 Days Of Love $15 Poetry/Romance/AdventureDoes poetry really matter? Is it just something some of us enjoy that by and large one learns in high school to pass a test? Or at best one hopes to read aloud in a coffee shop?Or is it something that out of the escalating misery, fear, frustration and anger of our times can give us something of enduring reassurance and steel for mobilizing the greater heart and mind?”One should go down fighting for what over our run of more than 100,000 years for our species, and survival so far into the eighties for myself, has mattered most,” evolutionary systems scientist David Loye tells us in this intimate and passionate book. “That one thing above all,” he insists, “is love.”Emerging out of the turbulence of the 1980s, 90s, and early years of the 21st century, with lyric overtones of Wordsworth, Blake, Yeats and Whitman, here are poems Loye wrote to capture the love sustaining the romance and pioneering involvement in 20th and 21st century science and social action of evolutionary action theorist Riane Eisler and himself.Continuing the surprise of the poems scattered within their earlier joint biography 3,000 Years of Love, here we go further and deeper into their intimate lives.We go further behind the international best-seller The Chalice and the Blade and The Real Wealth of Nations into the drama of the holocaust survivor and thinker who has been called “The New Renaissance Woman” and “One of the most important visionaries of our time.”We go further behind the award-winning The Healing of a Nation, and recovery of “the rest and best” of Darwin’s theory of evolution in Loye’s new six-book Darwin Anniversary Cycle by a noted developer of the new field of evolutionary action science.It is a glimpse into the core of a revolution emerging within the hearts of millions of us worldwide-which must succeed if we are to move from global self destruction to planetary sanity during |

A Taste of the Past $22.05 A Taste of the Past is an entertaining reconstruction of the daily life and household of Therese (Riza) Baruch (1851-1938), the great-grandmother of the author, Andras Koerner. Based on an unusually complete cache of letters, recipes, personal artifacts, and eyewitness testimony, Koerner describes in loving detail the domestic life of a nineteenth-century Hungarian Jewish woman, with special emphasis on the meals she served her family. Based on Riza’s letters, part one offers an imaginative sketch of growing up in a religious middle-class family in the 1860s and 70s in an industrial town in western Hungary. Part one also describes Riza’s reactions to the dilemmas posed by the early signs of Jewish assimilation. In part two, the heart of the book, Riza has married, moved to a smaller town near the Austrian border, and become the central figure of a large household. Koerner recreates a typical day in the life of Riza and her family, peppering his narrative with recipes of the food she served for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon coffee-and-cake, and the much more modest evening meal. Riza’s family was religious, and Koerner also describes the special foods (pike in sour aspic, cholent, apple-matzo kugel, and much more) she served to celebrate the Sabbath and the six major Jewish holidays. Short introductions to the recipes describe the evolution of the dishes through the centuries, their role in Jewish culture, and how cultural influences and religious traditions shaped Riza’s cooking. More than 125 evocative pen-and-ink illustrations bring Riza’s story and her food to life. A Taste of the Past offers an enchanting look at Jewish daily life in western Hungary inthe late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a time when middle-class Jews were increasingly assimilated into mainstream Hungarian life and culture. Such small-town Jewish life had completely disappeared due to the Holocaust. Koerner’s book revives this lost world and invites the re |

Brazil $9.99 Brazil is the first work of fiction to depict five centuries of a great nation’s remarkable history, its evolution from colony to kingdom, from empire to modern republic. With a stunning cast of real and fictional characters, the story unfolds in South America, Africa and Europe.Two families dominate this extraordinary novel. The Cavalcantis are among the original settlers and establish the classic Brazilian plantation—vast, powerful, built with slave labor. The da Silvas represent the second element in both contemporary and historical Brazil: pathfinders and prospectors. For generations, these adventurers have their eyes set on El Dorado, which they ultimately find—in a coffee fazenda at São Paulo. Brazil is an intensely human story—brutal and violent, tender and passionate. Perilous explorations through the Brazilian wilderness…the perpetual clash of pioneer and native, visionary and fortune hunter, master and slave, zealot and exploiter… the thunder of war on land and sea as European powers and South American nations pursue their territorial conquests…the triumphs and tragedies of a people who built a nation covering half the South American continent …all are here in one spell-binding saga. |

Censored Science: The Suppressed Evidence $6.62 Censored Science is a stunning designed, full-color book showcasing the fifty best evidences for a biblical creation worldview. Each two-page spread lays out the evidence for creation and then provides a rebuttal to the most common evolutionist objections to the evidence.Published in December 2009, the volume contains both the most recent cutting-edge evidence for creation and time-tested evidence which have never been answered by those rejecting Biblical truth.The book is divided into three major sections – Censored Biological Evidence, Censored Geological Evidence, and Censored Cosmological Evidence. Each section starts with a description of how an assumption of naturalism prevents our educational system from exposing students to any evidence which contradicts the presuppositions of evolution. Every page is a visual masterpiece, mating original photography or graphic designs with compelling text. Rather than a simple presentation of facts, Censored Science draws the reader into each subject using stories, analogies, and illustrations of the relevance for each of the evidences for creation.This coffee table quality hardback is the kind of book anyone would be proud to give to others. It has been technically reviewed and endorsed by some of the top scientists involved in creation research – including Dr. Steve Austin, Dr. John Baumgardner, and Dr. John Sanford. |

Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care $0.01 We are surrounded by medical miracles: polio has been eradicated; childhood leukemia is now treatable; death by cardiovascular disease has declined by two-thirds in the last fifty years. Yet while American medicine has never been better, angst over American health care has never been greater. Why is American health care such a mess? In this path-breaking book–Nobel laureate Milton Friedman calls it “fascinating and thorough”–Dr. David Gratzer goes to the heart of the problem, showing that the crisis in American health care stems largely from its addiction to outmoded and discredited economic ideas. What needs to be done? Dr. Gratzer mounts a bold and provocative argument, rejecting the conventional wisdom that socialized health care is compassionate and that top-down government agencies like the FDA actually save lives. Instead, he prescribes a strong dose of capitalism. The Cure offers a detailed overview of American health care, from economics and politics to medical science. Weighing in on the most controversial topics in health care, Dr. Gratzer makes the case that it’s possible to reduce health expenses, insure millions more, and improve quality of care while not growing government or raising taxes. An award-winning author and essayist, he is a master storyteller, enlivening his book with anecdotes, interviews, and stories drawn from his own extensive clinical experience. He details the cardiac woes of Robert E. Lee and Dick Cheney, describes a chat over coffee with Canada’s foremost private medical entrepreneur (an acquaintance of Fidel Castro, as it happens), and explains the evolution of his own thinking, from advocating HillaryCare as a medical student to promoting individual choice and competition today. The patient is in critical condition; Dr. Gratzer diagnoses the disease and prescribes the cure. |

EVIL CORPORATION $9.99 This book presents a story that cuts through social risks underlying current economic system in the modern world through an entertaining science fiction concept. The story begins with a mysterious kidnapping in an Australian city, Perth, which has beautiful mystic nature and calm life style. Then, a company founded in US emerges in financial world achieving an incredible growth rate in technological industries including cars, energy, androids and others. The story involves a man with dangerous minds taking over the leadership on a planet, which is formed of peaceful and highly civilized residents, with the help of his few selfish fellows through murder plots and manipulations. He uses Earth as a political tool to gain popularity and change his own planet into a dictatorship by time. Attack of the alien human kind to Earth initially involves a systematic process of financial control of the world that eventually leads to almost a complete destruction of the civilization. The book also touches on the significance of the natural balance through the Origin Theory. The theory combines the religious view with the Big Bang and the Evolution theories to lighten up the questions regarding our existence in a way that emphasizes the necessity of all creatures and human to live in harmony and peace. It also clarifies why there would be human kind living in a planet so far and technologically much more advanced than us in the story. I believe you will find this story original, flowing and thrilling. The chapters are titled as KIDNAPPING, Dawn Of The Company, Impulsive Romance, Corporate Success, Emerge Of Super Cars, Dirty Play, Niffy Meets Brawny, A Foggy Clue, Planet Zola, Assassinations On Zola, Treason, The Perfect Company, Veil Murders, Coffee Fortune – Teller, Chaos, Dark Era, Monarchy On Earth, A Light Of Hope, The Massacre, A Good Idea, Victory In The Lost War, Origin Theory |

Edible Medicines: An Ethnopharmacology of Food $24.95 Chile pepper is used today as a flavoring, but Aztecs also applied it for toothache, sore throat, and asthma. The tonic properties of coffee have been recorded in Islamic pharmacopoeia since the eleventh century, and many peoples have used it to protect against Parkinson’s disease. Although much has been documented regarding the nutritional values of foods, until recently little attention has been paid to the pharmacologic potential of diet. This book investigates the health implications of foods from the cuisines of peoples around the world to describe the place of food in health maintenance. In this wide-ranging book, Nina Etkin reveals the pharmacologic potential of foods in the specific cultural contexts in which they are used. Incorporating co-evolution with a biocultural perspective, she addresses some of the physiological effects of foods across cultures and through history while taking into account both the complex dynamics of food choice and the blurred distinctions between food and medicine. Showing that food choice is more closely linked to health than is commonly thought, she helps us to understand the health implications of people’s food-centered actions in the context of real-life circumstances. Drawing on an extensive literature that transects food and culture, the history of medicine, ethnopharmacology, food history, nutrition, and human evolution, Edible Medicines demonstrates the intricate relationship between culture and nature. It will appeal to a wide range of scholars and professionals, from anthropologists to nutritionists, as well as general readers seeking a greater understanding of the medicinal aspects of food. |

Elements of the Table: A Simple Guide for Hosts and Guests $8.21 Elegance is the art of not astonishing, said Jean Cocteau, but often the idea of a formal dinner party is intimidating to both hosts and guests for one reason: the table setting. Why is there a spoon above my plate? Do I really need five different glasses? Where do I put my napkin when I leave the table?

Organized by category, Lynn’s advice is sensible, her explanations are clear, and her historical asides will provide plenty of lively dinner conversation. You’ll learn about:Napery. What to do about that crease in your tablecloth, how to use a table runner, and the history of napkin rings (hint: they came into use not for decoration, but for an exceedingly practical purpose!)China. The difference between a rim soup bowl and a rimless coupe soup bowl, when to bring out the coffee cups, and why we call it “china”Silver. Basic rules for arranging the setting (evenly spaced, about a half-inch apart, with the handle bottoms lined up), using flatware to signal you’ve finished eating, and why the fork was slow to catch on as a dining implementCrystal. How to tell a red wine glass from a white wine glass, when to use a dof glass, and what famous European queen is said to have been the model for a champagne coupe glassTable Décor. Why place cards are always a good idea (and where to put them), the evolution of centerpieces, and how to turn a napkin into a cardinal’s hat, a bishop’s mitre, or even an artichoke Elements of the Table covers everything from linens to basic etiquette, so your next dinner party (whether you’re hosting or attending) will be a relaxed celebration–and the only astonishment will come at the end of the night, when you realize how much fun you’ve had. |

Evolution of the Slave Society and Economy of Sao Paulo, from the 1760s to the 1850s $64.95 Today the Brazilian state of São Paulo is one of the world’s most advanced agricultural, industrial, and urbanized regions. Its historical evolution, however, is poorly understood. Most scholarly attention has been paid to the period after 1850, when coffee rose to economic dominance, or to the period since 1880, when large-scale European immigration turned the city of São Paulo into one of the largest metropolises in the world. This book thus provides the first comprehensive portrait of the economy and people of São Paulo during the critical transition from the traditional eighteenth-century colonial world to the modernizing world of the nineteenth century. The result is a major rethinking of the history of early slavery in Brazil—it shows that, contrary to previous beliefs, slavery was as deeply entrenched and exploited in São Paulo as elsewhere in Brazil, and that the state’s early economic growth (as the world’s leading coffee-producing region after 1850) was made possible by an expanding African slave labor force. This raises many questions about São Paulo’s supposed “exceptionalism” and challenges the standard account of the state’s economic history, which has been strongly shaped by ideas of path dependence. In addition to studying the slave-owning class, the authors investigate the economic role of free whites and colored who did not own slaves, and compare São Paulo’s slave society and economy with other such regions in the Americas. |

Fragile Web: What Next for Nature? $25 Biodiversity is as close as your breakfast table. Your cereal and coffee are the products of at least a dozen species of plants and animals. And believe it or not, you are related to your morning meal—all life on earth is descended from a common ancestor, giving new meaning to the old saying “You are what you eat.”            Making clear why the future of biodiversity matters, Fragile Web—which takes its name from the delicate mechanism that holds all life together—unites a team of international experts to explore the wonder of the natural world. Drawing on the very latest research, the book explains what biodiversity is and explores its evolution, from 3.5 billion years ago to the present day. It discusses the importance of the world’s ecosystems and how directly or indirectly humans are responsible for the fate of nature. Crucially, it also examines what can be done to protect the natural world and why it matters. Although we cannot undo all that we have done, ignoring the current crisis facing biodiversity could fundamentally change the lives of future generations.Fully illustrated with color photographs, diagrams, and maps, and edited by celebrated ecologist Jonathan Silvertown, this book is a timely snapshot of the state of life on Earth. From the plant and animal products that make up our breakfast to the ecosystems that help to produce clean water, our very survival depends upon the variety of plant and animal life on our planet. The year 2010 has been declared by the United Nations the International Year of Biodiversity, and The Fragile Web will be an essential guidebook for our time. |
