An accessible companion to Karl Marx's essential Capital With the recent revival of Karl Marx's theory, a general interest in reading Capital has also increased. But Capital—Marx’s foundational nineteenth-century work on political economy—is by no means considered an easily understood text. Central concepts, such as abstract labor, the value-form, or the fetishism of commodities, can seem opaque to us as first-time readers, and the prospect of comprehending Marx’s thought can be truly daunting. Until, that is, we pick up Michael Heinrich’s How to Read Marx's Capital. Paragraph by paragraph, Heinrich provides extensive commentary and lucid explanations of questions and quandaries that arise when encountering Marx’s original text. Suddenly, such seemingly gnarly chapters as “The Labor Process and the Valorization Process” and “Money or the Circulation of Capital” become refreshingly clear, as Heinrich explains just what we need to keep in mind when reading such a complex text. Deploying multiple appendices referring to other pertinent writings by Marx, Heinrich reveals what is relevant about Capital, and why we need to engage with it today. How to Read Marx's Capital provides an illuminating and indispensable guide to sorting through cultural detritus of a world whose political and economic systems are simultaneously imploding and exploding.
For over a century, Karl Marx's critique of capitalism has been a crucial resource for social movements. Now, recent economic crises have made it imperative for us to comprehend and actualize Marx's ideas. But without a knowledge of Karl Marx's life as he lived it, neither Marx nor his works can be fully understood.

Domestication, a pivotal cultural development over the past 13,000 years, has led us to rely on a limited number of domesticated plant and animal species for our food. However, many still gather wild food or cultivate local varieties, which often boast higher levels of micronutrients and bioactive compounds. These compounds, produced as adaptations to local environments, can have protective effects when ingested. This book aims to preserve local knowledge for future generations and identify new nutraceuticals by characterizing plant extracts with potential health benefits. The first part focuses on the ethnobotanical study of local food plants in selected Mediterranean regions, exploring their uses, beliefs, and cultural practices. The second part examines the biological and pharmacological effects of these plants on various targets, primarily within the central nervous system and cardiovascular system. This highlights their potential for developing novel health foods, herbal medicines, and local products that promote health. Readers interested in an integrated approach to identifying health-beneficial foods will find this book a valuable resource and an inspiration for new scientific inquiries into this enduring topic.
