When Justine Chan worked as a park ranger at Zion National Park, she chose to retell a Southern Paiute folktale for her weekly evening program on coyotes. The more that long, hot summer unfolded, the more time she spent alone in the desert, the more she retold the story, the more the story became her life. And in that space, she began to write. Should You Lose All Reason(s) is unafraid of looking hard- back, down, towards, around, forward, at the stories we tell, at herself, at the desert, at the sun, at everything. In conversation with the Southern Paiute folktale, she weaves together a triptych of poems, poems both always on the move and stuck, in exile, in wilderness. Drawing from her experiences serving in AmeriCorps, working as a park ranger, and traveling across the United States, she explores race, loneliness, stories, hauntings, family, landscapes and cityscapes, climate change, survival, music, resilience, the West, and America itself. At times scorching, as times brimming with awe and desire, this debut book of poems resonates with a brilliant new voice.

An engrossing look at the rich and turbulent history of coloring cloth Over the centuries our manipulation of the natural world has resulted in an explosion of synthetic dye production and application globally. To gain insight into the history of how folk practices have been lost and technical processes found, anthropologist and textile artist Lauren MacDonald explores a practice that is both ancient and wholly modern: coloring cloth. The pursuit of color has long spurred economic and social contest, and through this deeply researched volume we explore the stories that the materials used to dye cloth tell us about our complex relationship to nature, our troubling ideas about progress and our understanding of power and labor. In Pursuit of Color brings together historic techniques, archive photography, specimens and present-day events to tell the histories of some of the world's most important dyestuffs, complemented with an individual pull-out appendix detailing notes on practical applications and the chemistry behind dyeing processes. Lauren MacDonald (born 1990) is a Canadian-born multidisciplinary artist, designer and founder of the London, UK textiles studio Working Cloth. She has a background in material culture, textile science and fashion.

The Indian government, often hailed as the world's largest democracy, asserts that Jammu and Kashmir—its only Muslim-majority state—is "an integral part of India." This region, disputed between India and Pakistan and regarded as the world's most militarized zone, has been under Indian occupation for over seventy-five years. The author interrogates how Kashmir was deemed "integral" to India by examining the decade-long rule (1953-1963) of Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad, the second Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Utilizing a diverse range of bureaucratic documents, propaganda materials, memoirs, and oral interviews in English, Urdu, and Kashmiri, the author explores Bakshi's state-building policies within the framework of India's colonial occupation. The analysis reveals how the Kashmir government aimed to integrate its Muslim population while grappling with inter-religious tension, corruption, and political repression. By challenging the binaries of colonial and postcolonial narratives, the author historicizes India's occupation of Kashmir through emotional integration, development, and empowerment, revealing new hierarchies of power that emerged post-decolonization. This work prompts a reevaluation of triumphalist narratives surrounding India's state formation and the sovereignty claims of the modern nation-state.

Imagining anti-ableist liberation beyond the rubrics of access and inclusion In the thirty years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, the lives of disabled people have not improved nearly as much as activists and politicians had hoped. In Crip Negativity, J. Logan Smilges shows us what's gone wrong and what we can do to fix it. Leveling a strong critique of the category of disability and liberal disability politics, Smilges asks and imagines what horizons might exist for the liberation of those oppressed by ableism--beyond access and inclusion. Inspired by models of negativity in queer studies, Black studies, and crip theory, Smilges proposes that bad crip feelings might help all of us to care gently for one another, even as we demand more from the world than we currently believe to be possible.

USE VERBAL PROMPTS AND PRACTICES TO BECOME THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE When wellness star Vasavi Kumar suggests “saying it out loud,” she means it literally. Years of journaling in an attempt to learn about herself and meet her goals hadn’t worked, so she decided to talk to herself instead, out loud and with the compassion of a best friend. She used this technique as she journeyed through the challenges of being the daughter of Indian immigrants, a bipolar diagnosis, substance abuse, and recovery. Along the way, Vasavi learned that all the outside expert guidance in the world was no substitute for finding ways of tuning in to her truest inner self, hearing that self’s guidance and wisdom, and then living it with resilience and empathy. In Say It Out Loud, she gives simple verbal prompts to help you voice your deepest desires and reframe negative self-talk so you can heal from past experiences, go after your dreams, and become more intentional, focused, and compassionate.

An Accessible Guide to Systematic Theology from Pastor Jon Nielson  When you consider theology, you may think of confusing, lofty terminology that only concerns scholars and pastors. But in reality, theology is for anyone who wants to better understand God and learn more about the Bible. Theology―the study of God and his word―should be personal, accessible, and worshipful.  Pastor Jon Nielson has written  Knowing God’s Truth , a part of the Theology Basics suite, to make systematic theology clear, meaningful, and practical for those looking for a highly accessible guide to studying God. In this introduction, Nielson defines systematic theology as “theological study done in a highly organized, topical way” and covers the 12 basic categories―Scripture, man, sin, church, and more. He also helps readers learn to apply theology in their everyday lives by integrating invitations to pray and meditate on what they’ve learned.

Hieronymus is a fiction novel about the life and work of the iconic painter Hieronymus Bosch, which preserves the historical context of the dark end of the Middle Ages in Northern Europe. Based on the little historical information about the artist's life, the novel tries to dissect the context in which Bosch's imagination incorporated the sacred and the profane, the symbol and the metaphor, around which the dramatic life of the creator revolves. Some documented facts of Bosch's life regarding his marriage to a wealthy woman whose dowry allowed him the freedom of creation, or his survival of a plague epidemic and the great fire of 1463 in 's-Hertogenbosch, are mentioned in the novel to identify the artist's personality and recreate the social and historical context of the western European Middle Ages, haunted by the fear of the Inquisition and religious reform. The artist immerses in the creation process in which the factual circumstances disappear and re-emerge into his artistic universe populated by fantastic characters, grotesque situations, tortures and suffering, that evaporates at the end of the story like a nightmare in the morning light.

"This essential, timely book meets us at our current moment of crisis to offer hope that American democracy's stalled trajectory toward its founding creed to embrace all, and not just some, can indeed be re-invigorated. Pedagogy of a Beloved Commons is about low-income youth of color working within justice-oriented, community-based organizations to improve the social and spatial conditions in their surroundings. It draws from hundreds of pages of data, some collected over a decade ago by graduate research assistants at three universities and some collected recently by a graduate research assistant at a fourth university, to present verbatim quotes from interviews with constituents of three youth-serving organizations. The book posits that the disinvested neighborhoods where youth experience abandonment and marginality in fact can serve as a call to action, given appropriate organizational support"-- Provided by publisher

A Silent Spring for your wardrobe, To Dye For is a jolting exposé that reveals the true cost of the toxic, largely unregulated chemicals found on most clothing today. Many of us are aware of the ethical minefield that is fast fashion: the dodgy labor practices, the lax environmental standards, and the mountains of waste piling up on the shores of developing countries. But have you stopped to consider the dangerous effects your clothes are having on your own health? Award-winning journalist Alden Wicker breaks open a story hiding in plain sight: the unregulated toxic chemicals that are likely in your wardrobe right now, how they’re harming you, and what you can do about it. In To Dye For, Wicker reveals how clothing manufacturers have successfully swept consumers’ concerns under the rug for more than 150 years, and why synthetic fashion and dyes made from fossil fuels are so deeply intertwined with the rise of autoimmune disease, infertility, asthma, eczema, and more. In fact, there’s little to no regulation of the clothes and textiles we wear each day—from uniforms to fast fashion, outdoor gear, and even the face masks that have become ubiquitous in recent years. Wicker explains how we got here, what the stakes are, and what all of us can do in the fight for a safe and healthy wardrobe for all.

Are we doomed because of the new digital technologies used in workspaces? Can we avoid measuring in our work? Or are we trapped in a metrification dystopia? Can we create workspaces that can produce what we prefer in order to use our human effort in ways that support nature and our communities? And if yes, what technologies could we use?Here, monetary-theorist Irene Sotiropoulou explores and critiques the information and communication means that were created for capitalist profit-making, showing how we can subvert these and use them for our own non-capitalist purposes. Machines Against Measures shows that in times of capitalist restructuring and multiple social reproduction crises, there open up new possibilities to experiment with quantity, measuring, machines and digital technologies, creating new ways of production and transaction. Within these, are ways of sharing and producing that defy many principles of capitalist relations. Using everyday examples from grassroots activity, this book offers new insights into how to be inventive with what we have at hand and be able to reflect on what technologies we truly need, revealing a grounded and practical vision of technology and work, based on re-defining why and how we measure what we do.

A thought-provoking and provocative challenge to consumerism (with plenty of name-dropping and celebrity antics). Sassy and satirical, Shopomania is an economic, environmental and social study. This light-hearted, dark-souled dictionary of coined words, or "shoponyms," takes readers on a roller-coaster ride of avaricious antics and outrageous profligacy. Shopping in one form or another has existed for millennia but, aside from a few slumps, each generation has outdone the previous one. In the past fifty years, shopping--and its associated carbon footprint--has grown exponentially. Berton argues that if we invented today's consumer culture, then we can invent something to replace it. We can do a better job of making the cycle of stuff truly circular rather than linear. We can be more environmentally, socially and politically conscious of what we buy and how it comes to us--and where it will go after we are finished with it. A species that has made shopping ubiquitous can figure all these things out with little more than co-operation and creativity, and by asking if it is really necessary to "own it now" as we have been told--endlessly--since childhood. Must we possess a thing to enjoy it? Do we really need all that stuff?

On November 24, 2016, the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces signed a revised peace accord, signaling an end to over fifty years of conflict. This work explores the often-overlooked aspects of transitioning from war to peace, highlighting the long-standing struggles of campesinos to protect their land and lives before the national accord. Campesino social leaders engage with the challenges posed by the state's post-accord reconstruction efforts, emphasizing that "peace is not signed, peace is built." Drawing from nearly a decade of ethnographic and participatory research, Angela Jill Lederach introduces the concept of "slow peace." This approach does not diminish the urgency of defending territory amidst ongoing political and environmental violence in post-accord Colombia. Instead, it emphasizes the campesino call for "slowness," which refocuses grassroots peace practices rooted in multigenerational struggles for territorial liberation. By examining campesino theories of "the times (los tiempos)," the work sheds light on a holistic understanding of peacebuilding. The experiences of campesino leaders reveal a conception of time that is embodied, affective, and place-based, prioritizing the everyday where relationships are strengthened, ancestral memories are honored, and ecologies are revitalized.

The true soul of Martha's Vineyard, captured through the eyes of the talented artists and artisans who live there Vineyard Folk leads us on an intimate journey into the lives and inspirational places of some of the many talented artists who have always made up the larger community of Martha's Vineyard. The island, located just seven miles off the coast of Cape Cod, has a long history as geographic muse: Lillian Hellman and William Styron wrote overlooking the Vineyard Haven harbor, and Thomas Hart Benton--whose influence is still felt in island painters today--depicted the stone walls and winding roads of what is known as "up-island" more than a hundred years ago. Now, a new generation continues to build on these creative legacies, inspired by the island's ever-changing light, endless beaches, historic towns, and rolling fields. Vineyard Folk features painters, potters, poets, musicians, and actors, among many others, and the unique ways they work, live, and play. Above all, Vineyard Folk is a love letter to a remarkable island community. With personal interviews and candid photography, it is a collage of creativity, resilience, and hope. We celebrate these artists captured at this golden moment of time that may not last forever.

A much-anticipated debut collection from one of Canada's most promising emerging poets Pebble Swing earns its title from the image of stones skipping their way across a body of water, or, in the author's case, syllables and traces of her mother tongue bouncing back at her from the water's reflective surface. This collection is about language and family histories. It is the author's attempt to piece together the resonant aftermath of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which stole the life of her paternal grandmother. As an immigrant whose grasp of Mandarin is fading, Wang explores absences in her caesuras and fragmentation--that which is unspoken, but endures. The poems in this collection also trace the experiences of a young poet who left home at seventeen to pursue writing; the result is a series of city poetry infused with memory, the small joys of Vancouver's everyday, environmental politics, grief and notions of home. While the poetics of response are abundant in the collection--with poems written to Natalie Lim and Ashley Hynd--the last section of the book, "Thirteen Ghazals and Anti-Ghazals after Phyllis Webb," forges a continued response to Phyllis Webb on Salt Spring Island, and innovates within the possibilities of the experimental ghazal form.

Math really is for everyone―so let’s prove it. You’ve heard it from kids, from friends, and from celebrities: "I’m bad at math."
