The Ecology of Everyday Things

The Ecology of Everyday Things

Nature is all around us in the beautiful but also in the unappealing and functional and from the awe-inspiring to the mundane. It is vital that we learn to see the agency of the natural world in all things that make our lives possible comfortable and profitable. The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted. This key into the magic world of the everyday can enable us to take better account of our common natural inheritance. Professor James Longhurst Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) For many people ecosystems may be a remote concept yet we eat drink breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps. In today’s society we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the reader on an enlightening fascinating voyage of discovery all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate- and school-level teaching it will also interest educate engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

In the past 15 years a host of critical thinking books have appeared that teach students to find flaws in the arguments of others by learning to detect a number of informal fallacies. This book is not in that tradition. The authors of this book believe that while students learn to become vicious critics they still continue to make the very mistakes they criticize in others. Thus this book has adopted the approach of teaching the construction of good arguments first and then introducing criticism as a secondary skill. Moreover the emphasis of the book is not on learning to name fallacies but on being able to identify weaknesses in an argument so as to be able to construct an effective critique of that argument. The book is accompanied by a workbook featuring a wealth of examples to help students acquire the material. | How To Do Things With Logic Workbook Workbook withExercises

Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism responds to the surging interest in nonhumans across the humanities by exploring how realist commitments have historically accompanied understandings of rhetoric from antiquity to the present. For a discipline that often defines itself according to human speech and writing the nonhuman turn poses a number of challenges and opportunities for rhetoric. To date many of the responses to the nonhuman turn in rhetoric have sought to address rhetoric’s compatibility with new conceptions of materiality. In Rhetorical Realism Scot Barnett extends this work by transforming it into a new historiographic methodology attuned to the presence and occlusion of things in rhetorical history. Through investigations of rhetoric’s place in Aristotelian metaphysics the language invention movement of the seventeenth century and postmodern conceptions of rhetoric as an epistemic art Barnett’s study expands the scope of rhetorical inquiry by showing how realist ideas have worked to frame rhetoric’s scope and meanings during key moments in its history. Ultimately Barnett argues that all versions of rhetoric depend upon some realist assumptions about the world. Rather than conceive of the nonhuman as a dramatic turning point in rhetorical theory Rhetorical Realism encourages rhetorical theorists to turn another eye toward what rhetoricians have always done—defining and configuring rhetoric within a broader ontology of things. | Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things
