Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, 2nd Edition

Many people mistakenly think that ecological gardening—which involves growing a wide range of edible and other useful plants—can take place only on a large, multiacre scale. As Hemenway demonstrates, it’s fun and ea... [Read More]

The Digital Mind: How Science Is Redefining Humanity (The MIT Press)
How developments in science and technology may enable the emergence of purely digital minds―intelligent machines equal to or greater in power than the human brain.What do computers, cells, and brains have in common?

But all are, in one way or another, information-processing devices. The power of the human brain is, so far, unequaled by any existing machine or known living being.

Melancology: Black Metal Theory and Ecology
Melancology addresses the notorious musical genre black metal as a negative form of environmental writing that ‘blackens’ the cosmos. This book conjures a new word and concept that conjoins ‘black’ and ‘ecology’: melancology, a word in which can be heard the melancholy affect appropriate to the conjunction. Black metal resounds from the abyss and it is precisely only in relation to its sonic forces that the question of intervention in the environment arises in the articulation of melancology with ethics. That is, in deciding ‘which way out’ we should take, in deciding with what... [Read More]

It transforms the way cities design and use physical space, generate economic wealth, consume and dispose of resources, exploit and sustain the natural ecosystems, and prepare for the future.

Bike Battles explores the different ways that Americans have thought about the bicycle through popular songs, merit badge pamphlets, advertising, films, newspapers and sitcoms. Those associations shaped the actions of government and the courts when they intervened in bike policy t... [Read More]
