The Rise of Fishes 500 Million Years of Evolution

The Rise of Fishes 500 Million Years of Evolution
The Rise of Fishes: 500 Million Years of Evolution By John A. Long
1995 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0801896959 | PDF | 62 MB
Fishes that walk, fishes that breathe air, fishes that look like―and are―monsters from the deep. These and many more strange creatures swim through The Rise of Fishes, John A. Long's richly illustrated tour of the past 500 million years. Long has updated his classic work with illustrations of recent fossil discoveries and new interpretations based on genetic analyses. He reveals how fishes evolved from ancient, jawless animals, explains why fishes have survived on the Earth for so long, and describes how they have become the dominant aquatic life-form. Indeed, to take things a step further, we learn much about ourselves through this book, for all amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals are descendants of ancient fishes.Clear, accessible, and engaging, The Rise of Fishes combines scientific expertise with entertaining stories about Long's own excursions, which span the oceans and continents. The book includes photographs of fossils from around the world as well as dramatic color illustrations depicting what those fishes may have actually looked like.

The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting

The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting
Alessandro Moretti, "The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting "
English | ISBN: 0367767864 | 2023 | 294 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book presents an ethnographic study of contemporary ticket touts in the UK. Despite the recent interest in the topic of black-market ticket sales, media coverage and parliamentary interventions over the last ten years have revealed a widespread lack of knowledge with regard to the phenomenon of touting and the players engaging in the practice. The Rise and Rise of Illegal Ticket Touting sheds light on the world of touting and delivers an authentic picture of the individuals involved, of their methods, values, and motivations for performing ticket touting as an organised, entrepreneurial deviant activity.

The Queer Aesthetics of Childhood Asymmetries of Innocence and the Cultural Politics of Child Development

The Queer Aesthetics of Childhood Asymmetries of Innocence and the Cultural Politics of Child Development
The Queer Aesthetics of Childhood: Asymmetries of Innocence and the Cultural Politics of Child Development By Hannah Dyer
2020 | 170 Pages | ISBN: 1978803990 | PDF | 3 MB
2020Choice​ Outstanding Academic Title In The Queer Aesthetics of Childhood, Hannah Dyer offers a study of how children's art and art about childhood can forecast new models of social life that redistribute care, belonging, and political value. Dyer suggests that childhood's cultural expressions offer insight into the persisting residues of colonial history, nation building, homophobia, and related violence. Drawing from queer and feminist theory, psychoanalysis, settler-colonial studies, and cultural studies, this book helps to explain how some theories of childhood can hurt children. Dyer's analysis moves between diverse sites and scales, including photographs and an art installation, children's drawings after experiencing war in Gaza, a novel about gay love and childhood trauma, and debates in sex-education. In the cultural formations of art, she finds new theories of childhood that attend to the knowledge, trauma, fortitude and experience that children might possess. In addressing aggressions against children, ambivalences towards child protection, and the vital contributions children make to transnational politics, she seeks new and queer theories of childhood.

The Pragmatics of Early Modern Politics Power and Kingship in Shakespeares History Plays

The Pragmatics of Early Modern Politics Power and Kingship in Shakespeares History Plays
The Pragmatics of Early Modern Politics: Power and Kingship in Shakespeares History Plays By Urszula Kizelbach
2014 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 9042038837 | PDF | 8 MB
Early modern kings adopted a new style of government, Realpolitik, as spelled out in Machiavelli's writings. Tudor monarchs, well aware of their questionable right to the throne, posed as great dissimulators, similarly to the modern prince who "must learn from the fox and the lion". This book paints a portrait of a successful politician according to early modern standards. Kingship is no longer understood as a divinely ordained institution, but is defined as goal-oriented policy-making, relying on conscious acting and the theatrical display of power. The volume offers an intriguing discussion on kingship in pragmatic terms, as the strategic face-saving behaviour of Shakespeare's kings. It also demonstrates how an efficient or inefficient management of the king's political face could decide his success or failure as a monarch, and how the Renaissance world of Shakespeare's history plays is combined with modern theories of communication, politeness and face.
