Laughter in Ancient Rome

On Joking, Tickling, and Cracking Up
MARY BEARD
What made the Romans laugh? Was ancient Rome a carnival, filled with practical jokes and hearty chuckles? Or was it a carefully regulated culture in which the uncontrollable excess of laughter was a force to feara world of wit, irony, and knowing smiles? How did Romans make sense of laughter? What role did it play in the world of the law courts, the imperial palace, or the spectacles of the arena? Laughter in Ancient Rome explores one of the most intriguing, but also trickiest, of historical subjects. Drawing on a wide range of Roman writingfrom essays on rhetoric to a surviving Roman joke bookMary Beard tracks down the giggles, smirks, and guffaws of the ancient Romans themselves. From ancient monkey business to the role of a chuckle in a culture of tyranny, she explores Roman humor from the hilarious, to the momentous, to the surprising. But she also reflects on even bigger historical questions. What kind of history of laughter can we possibly tell? Can we ever really get the Romans jokes?

The Fish in the Forest

Salmon and the Web of Life
TEXT BY DALE STOKES, PHOTOGRAPHS BY DOC WHITE
The Fish in the Forest is an elegantly written, beautifully illustrated exploration of the complex web of relationships between the salmon of the Pacific Northwest and the surrounding ecosystem. Dale Stokes shows how nearly all aspects of this fragile ecosystemfrom streambeds to treetops, from sea urchins to orcas to bears, from rain forests to kelp forestsare intimately linked with the biology of the Pacific salmon. Illustrated with 70 stunning color photographs by Doc White, The Fish in the Forest demonstrates how the cycling of nutrients between the ocean and the land, mediated by the life and death of the salmon, is not only key to understanding the landscape of the north Pacific coast, but is also a powerful metaphor for all of life on earth.
Dale Stokes is a research oceanographer in the Marine Physical Laboratory at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a scientific advisor to several natural history documentary films. Doc White is an acclaimed natural history photographer whose work appeared in Watching Giants: The Secret Lives of Whales (UC Press, 2009) and other books.

The Blue Man and Other Stories of the Skin

DR. ROBERT NORMAN
Our skin can torture us by reflecting conditions that can disfigure our bodies, but also the most basic facets of our social worlds. Without normal skin its hard to hold a job, feel any self-esteem, and make friends or find love.
from The Blue Man and Other Stories of the Skin In The Blue Man, Robert Norman does for the skin what Oliver Sacks did for the brain.Nina G. Jablonski, author of Skin: A Natural History and Living Color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color The Blue Man describes real-life dermatological detective stories that reveal the skin as a complex and mysterious creature and the practicing physician as both detective and an epidemiologist.Dr. Sharad P. Paul, M.D., author of Skin: A Biography Written by a leading dermatologist, The Blue Man and Other Stories of the Skin provides a compelling and accessible introduction to the life of our largest organ, while also recounting the authors experiences with memorable patients he has treated who suffer from mysterious skin conditions. Dr. Robert Norman begins by highlighting the qualities of the skin, tracing the history of its conditions and diseases, then examining the cultural, social and psychological impact of both color and irregularity. The book also features an absorbing collection of stories about some of his most intriguing patients: from a man whose skin mysteriously turned blue, to a hypochondriacal woman who begins to show signs of a life-threatening disease. This is a fascinating account of the dynamic nature of the skin, and the people who inhabit it.
Dr. Robert Norman is an award-winning dermatologist who has been in practice for over 25 years. He has written 18 books, including The Woman Who Lost Her Skin (And Other Dermatological Tales).

The Student Loan Mess

How Good Intentions Created a Trillion-Dollar Problem
JOEL BEST AND ERIC BEST Edgy and astute... this engaging book will appeal to a broad audience of interested, general readers.John Iceland, Penn State University This illuminating investigation uncovers the full dimensions of the student loan disaster. A father and son teamone a best-selling sociologist, the other a former banker and current quantitative researcherprobe how weve reached the point at which student loan debtnow exceeding $1 trillion and predicted to reach $2 trillion by 2020threatens to become the sequel to the mortgage meltdown. In spite of their good intentions, Americans have allowed concerns about deadbeat students, crushing debt, exploitative for-profit colleges, and changing attitudes about the purpose of college education to blind them to a growing crisis. With college costs climbing faster than the cost of living, how can access to higher education remain a central part of the American dream? With more than half of college students carrying an average debt of $27,000 at graduation, what are the prospects for young adults in the current economy? Examining how weve arrived at and how we might extricate ourselves from this grave social problem, The Student Loan Mess is a must-read for everyone concerned about the future of American education. Hard facts about the student loan crisis: Student loan debt is rising by more than $100 billion every year and is likely to reach $2 trillion by 2020. Among recent college students who are supposed to be repaying their loans, more than a third are delinquent. Because student loans cannot be discharged through bankruptcy, the federal government misleadingly treats student loan debt as a government asset. Higher default rates, spiraling college costs, and proposals for more generous terms for student borrowers make it increasingly likely that student loan policies will eventually cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.

A Journey into the Landscape Wars of the American West
REBECCA SOLNIT 20th Anniversary Edition With a New Preface A beautiful, absorbing, tragic book.Larry McMurtry In 1851, a war began in what would become Yosemite National Park, a war against the indigenous inhabitants. A century laterin 1951and a hundred and fifty miles away, another war began when the U.S. government started setting off nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. It was called a nuclear testing program, but functioned as a war against the land and people of the Great Basin. In this foundational book of landscape theory and environmental thinking, Rebecca Solnit explores our national Eden and Armageddon and offers a pathbreaking history of the west, focusing on the relationship between culture and its implementation as politics. In a new preface, she considers the continuities and changes of these invisible wars in the context of our current climate change crisis, and reveals how the long arm of these histories continue to inspire her writing and hope.

Weed Land
Inside Americas Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot Went Legit
PETER HECHT
Early in the morning September 5, 2002, camouflaged and heavily-armed Drug Enforcement Administration agents descended on a terraced marijuana gardenand a medicinal and spiritual refuge for the sick and dying. The DEA raid on the Wo/Mens Alliance for Medical Marijuana, a sanctuary for severely ill patients using marijuana as medicine stirs the opening of Weed Land, an up-close journalistic narrative that chronicles a transformative epoch for marijuana in America. From the passage of Californias Proposition 215, the nations first medical marijuana law, through law enforcement raids and emergence of a lucrative cannabis industry, Weed Land reveals the changing political, legal, economic and social dynamic for pot. It offers an independent, meticulously reported account on clashes and contradictions of a burgeoning California cannabis culture that stoked pot liberalization elsewhere, including marijuana legalization votes in Colorado and Washington. Written by Peter Hecht, an award-winning journalist from The Sacramento Bee, Weed Land takes readers into laboratories of researchers who challenged federal drug policy with clinical studies revealing medical benefits for cannabis. It also explores an exploding marijuana marketplace that pitches compassionate healing with the pure joy of pot. And it takes readers inside the law enforcement backlashand unfolding consequences of a federal crackdown on Americas largest marijuana economy.
Peter Hecht is a senior writer who covers California issues for The Sacramento Bee and McClatchy Newspapers. In 2010, as an initiative to legalize marijuana in California was put on the ballot, Hechts blog for the Bee, Weed Wars covered the news, trends, and people behind the California marijuana story.

Cumin, Camels, and Caravans

A Spice Odyssey
GARY PAUL NABHAN
Cumin, Camels, and Caravans is epic in its scope, spanning continents and millennia and exploring how the emergence and development of the spice trade set in motion the process of globalization. Anyone interested in food and history will love this book.Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation Gary Paul Nabhan takes the reader on a vivid and far-ranging journey across time and space in this fascinating look at the relationship between the spice trade and culinary imperialism. Drawing on his own familys history as spice traders, as well as travel narratives, historical accounts, and an ethnobotanical exploration of spices and their uses, Nabhan describes the critically important roles that Semitic peoples and desert floras had in setting the stages for globalized spice trade. Traveling along four prominent trade routesthe Silk Road, the Frankincense Trail, the Spice Route, and the Camino Real for chiles and chocolate Nabhan follows the caravans of itinerant spice merchants from the frankincense-gathering grounds and ancient harbors of the Arabian Peninsula, to the port of Zayton on the China Sea, to Santa Fe in the desert Southwest. His stories, recipes, and linguistic analyses of cultural diffusion routes reveal the extent to which aromatics like cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and peppers became adopted worldwide as signature ingredients of diverse cuisines. Cumin, Camels, and Caravans demonstrates that two particular desert cultures often depicted in constant conflictArabs and Jewshave spent more of their history collaborating in the spice trade and suggests how a more virtuous multicultural but globalized society may be achieved in the future.

The Battle over Abortion in the Catholic Church
PATRICIA MILLER Wonderful, original and provocative...destined to be a critical and popular success.Kristin Luker, author of Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood Good Catholics tells the story of the nearly 50-year struggle in the Catholic Church over abortion, as progressives and conservatives battled over the moral acceptability of the procedure and whether Catholics have the right to disagree with the leadership of the church on the issue. By recounting a history of protest and persecution that has never before been pulled together in one narrative, Miller demonstrates the profound and surprising influence that the conflict over abortion in the Catholic Church has had on the U.S. political system. This controversial, groundbreaking book demonstrates that good Catholics can support abortion rights, and gives voice to the people who have fought a decades-long battle to assert their legitimacy.

Scheffler, Distinguished Professor of Health Economics, University of California, Berkeley Modern medicine gives us tremendous benefits: never before have we been able to avoid death and disease like we do today. However, there is a steep price to pay for this progress, both financially and personally. So why does health care cost so much? How can thousands of people a year die because of poor care? And can we create a functioning health care system that is safe, effective, and affordable? In this accessible and incisive narrative, David Cutler--renowned health economist and former health care adviser to Barack Obama--tackles these difficult questions.

In this accessible book, Robert Dudley presents an intriguing, evolutionary interpretation for the persistence of alcoholrelated problems. Providing a deep-time, interdisciplinary perspective on todays patterns of alcohol consumption and abuse, Dudley traces the link between the fruit-eating behavior of arboreal primates to the evolution of sensory skills required to identify ripe and fermented fruits that contain sugar and low levels of alcohol. Written to introduce this new theory of the human-alcohol relationship, this book also discusses supporting research, implications of the hypothesis, and consequences for understanding the medical and social impacts of the disease.

Reflections of Amma
Devotees in a Global Embrace
AMANDA J. LUCIA Globally known as Amma, meaning Mother, Mata Amritanandamayi is the face of religion in a new global age. Known as the hugging saint, wherein nearly every day 10,000 people are embraced by the guru one at a time, Amma is revered by millions as guru and goddess. Reflections of Amma focuses on communities of Ammas devotees in the United States, showing how they endeavor to mirror their gurus behaviors and transform themselves to emulate the ethos of the movement. Through an in-depth study with Amma devotees, Lucia skillfully examines this fast-growing global religious movement, discovering how American multiculturalism reifies cultural differences in de facto congregations, despite the fact that Ammas embrace attempts to erase communal boundaries in favor of global unity.

Naremore uses this legendary remark as a starting point for a meditation on the so-called death of cinema in the digital age, and as a way of introducing a wide-ranging series of his essays on movies past and present. The essays include discussions of authorship, adaptation, and acting, with diverse thematic commentaries.

Skillfully weaving historical inquiry with an examination of classed cultural repertoires and close listening to country songs, Hubbs confronts the shifting and deeply entangled workings of taste, sexuality, and class politics.
