This book examines the ways in which selfhood and cultural solidarity came to be understood and lived as historical identities during the first half of the nineteenth century. It''s focus is on the Prussian capital- Berlin- and on the remarkable groups of artists and thinkers- Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Felix Mendelssohn, Jacob Grimm, Friedrich Karl von Savigny and Leopold von Ranke-who became associated in 1840 with the cultural agenda of a regime that hoped to forge solidarity among its subjects by encouraging identification with a constructed public memory. The book emphasizes both the developmental phases and the inner tensions of the program for "becoming historical" that was publicly articulated in 1840.

This lively, provocative text presents a new way to understand friendship. Professor John Terrell argues that the ability to make friends is an evolved human trait not unlike our ability to walk upright on two legs or our capacity for speech and complex abstract reasoning. Terrell charts how this trait has evolved by investigating two unique functions of the human brain: the ability to remake the outside world to suit our collective needs, and our capacity to escape into our own inner thoughts and imagine how things might and ought to be. The text is richly illustrated and written in an engaging style, and will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers interested in anthropology, evolutionary and cognitive science, and psychology more broadly.

In his comprehensive work, "Supplement to the Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum," John Edward Gray meticulously expands upon the extant collections of marine mammals, providing an analytical yet accessible overview of their classifications, characteristics, and ecological significance. Gray employs a systematic approach, embedding his descriptions within the broader context of 19th-century natural history, a period marked by rigorous scientific inquiry and increasing interest in biodiversity. His literary style combines detailed observation with a passion for taxonomy, aiming to bridge the gap between professional study and popular understanding, thus contributing richly to the canon of marine biology literature. John Edward Gray, an eminent naturalist and curator at the British Museum, was pivotal in the advancement of zoological knowledge during a transformative era in science. His lifelong dedication to the study of marine organisms was shaped by a background that combined field observations with museum collections, leading him to recognize the importance of comprehensive documentation. Gray''s commitment to accuracy and detail reflects not only his own expertise but also the intellectual currents of his time, which encouraged a synthesis of observational and empirical data. This supplement is essential reading for both scholars and enthusiasts of marine biology. Gray''Äôs work not only enhances the understanding of seals and whales but also serves as a historical document illuminating the methodologies of a bygone era. By engaging with Gray''s findings, readers will gain deeper insights into the evolution of marine mammal study and a renewed appreciation for the biodiversity that continues to captivate scientists and nature lovers alike.

Already known for his works of speculative fiction, author John Edward Lawson uses Discouraging at Best to take a look at the "real" world. On the pages within are five interlinked tales that, when pieced together, paint a panorama of apathy, greed, and manipulation. We follow the self-inflicted plight of working-class families and their efforts to step on others in the race to get ahead. We watch the petty wars of Nobel laureates. We become immersed in the minds of those caught in an ankle-biters rebellion. We are drawn into the intrigues and incompetence of those pulling the strings at the highest level of government. And, ultimately, we wonder: why? Here the absurdity of the mundane expands exponentially creating a tidal wave that sweeps reason away. For those who enjoy satire, bizarro literature, or a good old-fashioned slap to the senses, Discouraging at Best offers extra helpings of each. "The content of the stories moves from profoundly disturbing to surrealistically hysterical, giving the book a manic texture...John Edward Lawson has written a powerful work with Discouraging at Best. Its stories are strong enough to stand on their own, but when taken in the thematic context of the rest of the book, they reveal added levels of meaning. Raw Dog Screaming Press has a real winner on their hands — a disturbing, thought-provoking, wildly humorous book. Highly recommended." —Jeff Burk for The Dream People "A genuinely funny (yet serious) collection, demonstrating that satire is indeed the vital blood of bizarro fiction; and it should be read by anyone who shares the opinion that America is a ship of fools that is slowly sinking, and all one can do is sigh and laugh at the sight of its going down, disheartened but amused." —Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens "Providing the reader with a mosaic-like narrative comprised of different voices and perspectives, Lawson’s approach is both imaginative and hilarious in its pairings, juxtapositions, and contrasts....Discouraging at Best is an accomplished and enjoyable read. A fabulous introduction to John Edward Lawson’s work as well as a treat for long-time fans, these stories are stylistically innovative and engaging. Highly recommended." —Midwest Book Review

A brother and a sister made a pact before they were born... When John Edward Saetveit died right after graduating from college, his older sister, Marnah, was understandably devastated. How could such a beautiful being like her dear brother have been taken so young? It made no sense. But it had to be. This was part of their pact.

This remarkable story will inspire you to live fully, to reach out to the world of Spirit, and to know that you are not alone—ever—as you embark on your life''s journey.
