Social Anthropology

Esta obra clássica, foi revisitada por seu autor, José de Souza Martins, que incorporou novos trechos e atualizou a discussão sobre as questões tratadas. O cativeiro da terra é a matriz estrutural e histórica da sociedade que somos hoje. Ele condenou a nossa modernidade e a nossa entrada no mundo capitalista a uma modalidade de coerção do trabalho. Aí encontramos a explicação de nossa lentidão histórica e a postergação da ascensão social dos condenados à servidão.

Every get the feeling that your company culture is completely insane? That your organisation is inherently dysfunctional and seems to emphasize pointless drama over getting work done? The good news is that you’re right: Your company’s culture is screwed up. The bad news is that most everyone else’s company culture is throwing sparks too. Culture is the product of the people that you work with, and people are...really quite interesting, given all the ways that well-meaning people can screw things up.

Twins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them. It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the "who am I" and "who are we" questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars.

Where fresh water appears to be abundant and generally accessible, chronic pollution may be relatively ignored as a public issue. Yet there are those whose lives, livelihoods, and traditions are touched directly by the destructive albeit essential relationship between humans and water.

人間は生まれながらにして自然知能を持っている。昔、昔、そのまた昔から、自然知能は名もなく放置されてきたのである。そのため人間は進化がおくれた。そういうことを考える人もなかった。

Эта книга — правдивый захватывающий рассказ о том, что представляла собой советская элита брежневской эпохи. Ее жизнь показана изнутри с предельной откровенностью человека независимого в суждениях и поступках. Щемящие воспоминания о детстве на Урале сменяются впечатлениями о Москве 1960-х, учебе в престижном институте. Сочными мазками автор рисует выдающихся деятелей эпохи, с которыми ей доводилось встречаться и общаться: Георгия Жукова и Михаила Шолохова, Екатерину Фурцеву и Павла Луспекаева, Юрия Гагарина и, конечно, самого Леонида Брежнева.

Una investigación fascinante sobre el origen de los humanos basada en los descubrimientos más recientes. Hace cincuenta mil años, el Homo sapiens no era la única especie humana en el mundo. También hubo neandertales en lo que ahora es Europa, en Oriente Próximo y en partes de Eurasia; hubo hobbits(H. floresiensis) en la isla indonesia de Flores; hubo denisovanos en Siberia y el este de Eurasia; y hubo H. luzonensis en Filipinas. Siempre nos hemos considerado únicos, pero en el tiempo evolutivo nuestra singularidad no existía hasta ayer y, aun así, ahora solo quedamos nosotros.

Un viaggio nel mondo dell'antropologia attraverso dieci parole – essere, convivere, comunicare, dove e quando, crescere, specchiarsi, rappresentarsi, donare, credere, nutrirsi –, per avvicinarsi a una disciplina che può aiutarci a interpretare il rimescolamento sempre più rapido della realtà cui stiamo assistendo e comprendere meglio ciò che accade nelle nostre città, strade e vite. L'antropologia culturale, nata come studio delle culture dei popoli lontani dall'Occidente, oggi ha allargato il suo campo di azione fino a occuparsi del qui e ora.

An esteemed activist invites us to consider the complex idea of abolition as much more than a strategy or a set of tactics—at a deeper level, abolition is an entire political framework, culture, and orientation.

Nothing that God created is the source of our human temptation. To the contrary! The human body is the crown of God's creation—consummated by his declaration that it was good. That God's people are unable to view the body without sinning is not an indictment of the body itself, but of the immaturity of the post-modern evangelical mind.

KI wird unseren Arbeitsmarkt verändern, doch das ist nicht das Problem: Unser Sozialleben macht uns zum Menschen. Doch wenn unser bester Freund eine KI ist – haben wir dann noch eins? Karsten Brensing wirft einen Blick auf den Einzug von KI in die Mitte unserer Gesellschaft. Die Veränderungen werden vor allem auch unser Sozialleben betreffen. Tierisch glücklich sein in einer komplexen Welt. Trotz seiner mentalen Leistungsfähigkeit und des technischen Fortschritts ist der Mensch im Laufe der Evolution nicht gleichsam zufriedener geworden.

El redescubrimiento de la primera novela de Juan Luis Arsuaga Un relato de la prehistoria. 2.ª edición. Hace muchos miles de años, en un mundo que poco tiene que ver con el actual pero que también era el nuestro, un muchacho sin nombre al que llaman Piojo, y que solo conoce la crueldad del hombre que lo ha cuidado desde que se quedó huérfano, emprende su lucha por la existencia. De manera fortuita, se cruzará en su camino con los Hombres Águila, entre los que encontrará a su primer amigo, el orgulloso Viento del Norte, y a su amor verdadero, la inolvidable Gata.

Humans take more than their geological share of water, but they do not benefit from it equally. This imbalance has created an era of intense water scarcity that affects the security of individuals, states, and the global economy. For many, this brazen water grab and the social inequalities it produces reflect the lack of a coherent philosophy connecting people to the planet. Challenging this view, Jeremy Schmidt shows how water was made a “resource” that linked geology, politics, and culture to American institutions.

Part memoir, part popular science, and part social commentary, Bottled Up probes breastfeeding politics through the lens of Barston’s own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, The Fearless Formula Feeder. Incorporating expert opinions, medical literature, and popular media into a pithy, often wry narrative, Barston offers a corrective to our infatuation with the breast. Impassioned, well-reasoned, and thoroughly researched, Bottled Up asks us to think with more nuance and compassion about whether breastfeeding should remain the holy grail of good parenthood.

Drawing on the latest research in archaeozoology, archaeology, and molecular biology, Animals as Domesticates traces the history of the domestication of animals around the world.

Il 27 dicembre 1831 un brigantino inglese, la Beagle, salpa da Devonport, al comando del capitano Fitz Roy, con a bordo Charles Darwin, a quell'epoca ventiduenne. Scopo della spedizione era completare il rilevamento della Patagonia e della Terra del Fuoco, ispezionare le coste del Cile, del Perù e di alcune isole del Pacifico ed eseguire una serie di misure di longitudine attorno al mondo.

Александр Никонов - известный журналист и писатель, автор знаменитых бестселлеров Конец феминизма и Кризисы в истории цивилизации. Мастерски дискутируя на острые и неоднозначные темы, автор выступает в своих произведениях апологетом здравого смысла. Талантливые провокации Никонова возмущают, вызывают желание найти опровержение, оспорить, но самое главное – заставляют думать. Почему мы такие, какие есть. Практическая антропология, вне сомнений, вызовет негативную реакцию у многих представителей нашего "человейника". Но что есть книга, как ни своевременный толчок к тому, чтобы задуматься?
