Download or read book Ways of Sensing written by David Howes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ways of Sensing is a stimulating exploration of the cultural, historical and political dimensions of the world of the senses. The book spans a wide range of settings and makes comparisons between different cultures and epochs, revealing the power and diversity of sensory expressions across time and space. The chapters reflect on topics such as the tactile appeal of medieval art, the healing power of Navajo sand paintings, the aesthetic blight of the modern hospital, the role of the senses in the courtroom, and the branding of sensations in the marketplace. Howes and Classen consider how political issues such as nationalism, gender equality and the treatment of minority groups are shaped by sensory practices and metaphors. They also reveal how the phenomenon of synaesthesia, or mingling of the senses, can be seen as not simply a neurological condition but a vital cultural mode of creating social and cosmic interconnections. Written by leading scholars in the field, Ways of Sensing provides readers with a valuable and engaging introduction to the life of the senses in society.
Download or read book The Prison Library Primer written by Brenda Vogel and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-08-28 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this century the central and quintessential correctional facility program ought to be the library. While the U.S. prison industry has embraced a massive reentry movement emphasizing literacy and job readiness for former felons, prison libraries have been ignored as potential sources for reintegration. In The Prison Library Primer: A Program for the Twenty-First Century, Brenda Vogel addresses the unique challenges facing the prison librarian. This practical guide to operating and promoting a correctional library focuses on the basic priorities: collection development; location, space planning, and furnishing suggestions; information on court decisions and legislation affecting prisoners' rights. This volume also includes an information-skills training curriculum, sample administration policies, essential digital and print sources, and community support resources. Equipped with practical library science tools and creative solutions, The Prison Library Primer is an invaluable resource that will help the librarian and library advocate develop, grow, and maintain an effective, user-centered library program.
Download or read book What s That Smell written by Simon Hajdini and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How our sense of smell engages with philosophy, psychoanalysis, and political economy—and how it can help enrich our understanding of the nature of truth, language, economy, and sexuality. Why is it that, in Indo-European languages at least, we have no language to describe smells, leaving us (and famously Juliet) no choice but to call the scent of a rose simply “sweet”? In What's That Smell?, a groundbreaking exploration of the intersection between philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the oft-neglected sense of smell, Simon Hajdini sets out to answer this complex question. Through new readings of traditional and modern philosophical texts, Hajdini places smell at the very center of a philosophical critique of the traditional notion of truth, challenging the idea that smell is the antiphilosophical sense par excellence. Through fresh engagements with fundamental philosophical issues, original analyses of modern literature and film, and the novel use of scientific research into smell within a humanities context, Hajdini situates problems of olfaction at the very point of inception of cultural life. He proposes that ontology, civilization, and capitalist economy alike can be said to amount to "shit management." And only by following the philosophically most deplorable of the senses, the book argues, can we better understand the central philosophical, psychoanalytical, and political issues of truth, sex, and exploitation.
Download or read book Sensing Law written by Sheryl Hamilton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rich collection of interdisciplinary essays, this book explores the question: what is to be found at the intersection of the sensorium and law’s empire? Examining the problem of how legal rationalities try to grasp what can only be sensed through the body, these essays problematize the Cartesian framework that has long separated the mind from the body, reason from feeling and the human from the animal. In doing so, they consider how the sensorium can operate, variously, as a tool of power or as a means of countering the exercise of regulatory force. The senses, it is argued, operate as a vector for the implication of subjects in legal webs, but also as a powerful site of resistance to legal definition and determination. From the sensorium of animals to technologically mediated perception, the ways in which the law senses and the ways in which senses are brought before the law invite a questioning of the categories of liberal humanism. And, as this volume demonstrates, this questioning opens up the both interesting and important possibility of imagining other sensual subjectivities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His future depends on bringing the smuggler to justice. His heart demands to join him. Customs officer Peregrine Dean is sent by his patron to investigate rumors of corruption in the Porthkennack customs house. There he is tasked by the local magistrate to bring down the villainous Tomas Quick, a smuggler with fingers in every pie in town. Fired with zeal and ambition, and struck to the core by his first glimpse of Tomas, Perry determines to stop at nothing until he has succeeded. Tomas Quick is an honest thief—a criminal regarded by the town as their local Robin Hood. He’s also an arrogant man who relishes the challenge posed by someone as determined and intelligent as Perry. Both of them come to enjoy their cat-and-mouse rivalry a little too much. But the eighteenth century is a perilous time for someone like Perry: a black man in England. Two have already disappeared from the wrecks of ships. Tomas and Perry must forsake their competition and learn to trust each other if they are to rescue them, or Perry may become the third victim.

Download or read book Cannabis written by Kenn D'Oudney and published by Scorpio Recording Company (Publishing) Limited. This book was released on 2014-10-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2015 EDITION. FOREWORD by a Nobel laureate former official adviser to U.S. government. ENDORSED by a Professor of Physiology Fellow of the Royal Society, academics, doctors (of jurisprudence, medicine, physiology, psychiatry, homeopathy) and judges (U.S. & U.K.) - SEE BACK COVER. THE REPORT presents irrefutable Legal Grounds for RESTORATION: RELEGALISATION, AMNESTY & RESTITUTION. All citizens persecuted under Prohibition are due Amnesty and Restitution (as for other Wrongful Penalisation). SO YOU THOUGHT MARIJUANA PROHIBITION HAS NO EFFECT UPON YOU? THE REPORT contains the unprecedented (new) CANNABIS BIOMASS ENERGY EQUATION (CBEE). It proves the cannabis crop by-product, PYROLYTIC CH3OH methanol, offers the immediately available total world replacement for fossils and uranium. Such macro-cultivation simultaneously increases world production of protein-rich staple seed food (no relaxant in seed). THE REPORT establishes the inadequacies of THC-free so-called "industrial hemp" by comparison with the full-blooded large sativas. The CBEE FORMULATION proffers production-cost-free (i.e., FREE) CH3OH oil-gasoline-type fuel for all power-station, industrial, land, sea and air transportation and domestic energy supply, with ZERO net atmospheric increase of CO2. The CBEE exposes monumental ulterior motive behind marijuana 'prohibition'; a bankowner-corporate-government subterfuge; a false fuel-energy monopoly. The CBEE demonstrates governments' mendacity in their claims to wish to reduce carbon emissions, and proves "carbon tax" to be a fraudulent government imposture. Part Six of THE REPORT, PROHIBITION: THE PROGENITOR OF CRIME. ""To cause crime to occur is to be accountable for the crime, morally and legally. To consent to any measure is to share responsibility for its results."" Legalised, cannabis grows anywhere: the benign herb's foliage and flowers come free or at an insignificant price, but yielding no revenues to government and no profits to corporations. However, prohibition creates the Black Market: the Economic Effects of Prohibition (scarcity + enforcement, etc.) augment "street" value by 3000% plus, making all Black Market associated crime inevitable. The political commodities' prohibition, the War on Drugs, or that is to say, the politicians who pass and the judiciaries who maintain the legislation are culpable for the engenderment of a significant proportion of all crimes throughout the West (official statistics). THE REPORT collates the medico-scientific empirical Findings of Fact and Conclusions of the government-funded clinical studies conducted by world-respected research and academic institutions into non-toxic, non-addictive benign natural herb cannabis (differentiated from pharmaceutical laboratory toxic product THC). The investigations' evidence exonerates cannabis from all allegations of 'harm' and 'impairment' (including tests on simulated driving), exempting cannabis from all legislative criteria of control ('prohibition'). THE REPORT investigates THC and other sources of the ongoing fabricated derogation of cannabis. Six Parts (chapters) include expert documentary, legal, academic, scientific, technical, medical, economic, social, criminological, philosophical evidence, and that which is based on grounds of equity, vindicating all private cultivation, trade, possession and use, and which further exposes perjury and venality behind prohibition 'legislation', all acts of enforcement constituting crime per se. Part Seven, RESTORATION: JUSTICE AND THE CONSTITUTION, exposes corruption, ineptitude and injustice in the justice process; examines Law: natural law, supreme secular legem terrae Constitutional common law, treaties, statutes; quotes presidents, judges, lawyers and chief justices.
Download or read book Boy Robot written by Simon Curtis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen-year-old Isaak discovers the truth about his origin and the underground forces that must come together to fight against a secret government organization formed to eradicate those like him in this high-octane science fiction debut. There once was a boy who was made, not created. In a single night, Isaak’s life changed forever. His adoptive parents were killed, a mysterious girl saved him from a team of soldiers, and he learned of his own dark and destructive origin. An origin he doesn’t want to believe, but one he cannot deny. Isaak is a Robot: a government-made synthetic human, produced as a weapon and now hunted, marked for termination. He and the Robots can only find asylum with the Underground—a secret network of Robots and humans working together to ensure a coexistent future. To be protected by the Underground, Isaak will have to make it there first. But with a deadly military force tasked to find him at any cost, his odds are less than favorable. Now Isaak must decide whether to hold on to his humanity and face possible death…or to embrace his true nature in order to survive, at the risk of becoming the weapon he was made to be. In his debut, recording artist Simon Curtis has written a fast-paced, high-stakes novel that explores humanity, the ultimate power of empathy, and the greatest battle of all: love vs. fear.
