New Releases by John Robbins

Displacing Female Bodies on the Eighteenth-Century Stage is driven by a central question: why were women playwrights in the Romantic period obsessed with silencing their female characters, pushing them off the stage, and announcing the removal of their own texts to the closet? These playwrights were some of the most well-known and commercially successful writers of their era, but were paradoxically also among its most marginalized figures: they were mocked by largely conservative audiences, suffered intense criticism for placing their works on display before the public eye, and frequently found their plays rejected by theater managers in favor of works by established male playwrights. This book argues that these writers did not simply craft plays that would please the crowd, but that they deftly incorporated the suppressions and subjugations to which they were subject into their works. It demonstrates that within their plays, gaps in discourse and representation contain a productive capacity, denoting spaces of imaginative potential or drawing into focus the conditions by which such silencing and erasure takes place, and argues that the long-standing critical misapprehension of these works stems from precisely these strategies of resistance, which of necessity took non-traditional forms and thus have not been readily recognizable to audiences, then or now.

As we travel down the road of life, we get to meet and build relationships with all types of people. Some are very easy to get to know and simply a joy to be around; others may be more of a challenge, and we find it difficult to get very close to them. Is it our fault or theirs? Many times, we dont stop to consider how others perceive us. We just trod along, living our lives, making some folks like us while others despise us. Have you ever considered how you stack up? Do others like you and want to spend as much time as possible with you? Or do they go out of their way to avoid being in your presence? In this book, I identify many of the different personality traits of individuals that I have encountered in my life. Some characteristics stand alone, while other may overlap. Perhaps you will find yourself in a number of these. I did! It has often been said, You must first identify the problem before you can go about solving it. As you read this book, try to pick out traits about yourself that you would like to modify or even eliminate. Keep in mind that you may also find traits that you want to improve or develop. It is hard to take an in-depth look at ourselves. Hopefully, this book will help you to do so and encourage you to make positive changes.

The utility and benefits of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are emerging and being recognized across the aviation industry. While this technology is not new, the ability to support domestic public and private operators is becoming better understood and opening up new uses to government organizations and commercial enterprise. Analysis of the unmanned aviation market indicates that small UAS (sUAS) will become the most prevalent and affordable form of unmanned aircraft available, featuring technology developed by contributors ranging from DIY and hobby model aircraft communities to defense contracting. This book will help readers understand what a drone or UAS is, what forms are available (including multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrid types), to make well-informed decisions regarding purchase and use. Readers will learn how sUAS and their various configuration options can be used to address or support evolving business needs. Ultimately, readers will have enough information to formulate a plan to acquire necessary certification approvals and operate sUAS in a safe, efficient, and effective manner. Beginning with the history of UAS and ending with how to prepare for the future of this fast-paced and innovative industry, this book contains descriptions of typical sUAS architecture, related technology, common uses, and suggested safety practices, while also providing a narrative to help you determine the most appropriate path forward through complex legal, business, operational, and support considerations. Understanding how these pieces fit together, from the technical and legal perspectives, will shape your own strategy for the safe, efficient, and effective use of this "(r)evolutionary" technology. The authors developed this book to share critical background, concepts, guidance, and lessons learned from their collective experience as researchers, operators, and academic instructors to dispel common myths and provide a starting point to explore how sUAS can be applied to solve challenges and support economic pursuits. Written for experienced aviators, as well as those new to aviation and operating in the National Airspace System (NAS). Illustrated extensively throughout, each chapter concludes with review questions for classroom and self-study use; glossary and index included. This book provides a solid foundation for keeping up with this fast moving and exciting aviation field.

La Food Revolution è il libro più importante mai scritto sulla nostra salute e quella del pianeta. Da anni sappiamo che l’intero pianeta è in crisi; siamo allarmati dal riscaldamento globale e da un livello di inquinamento non sostenibile negli oceani e nelle falde acquifere; scandali e denunce alimentari ci mostrano che la maggior parte del cibo che mangiamo è nocivo, mentre le frontiere dell’ingegneria genetica, applicate all’agricoltura, presentano diverse zone d’ombra, quando non sono diventate nuovi strumenti di sfruttamento delle popolazioni più povere. Saperlo però non basta se per primi non cambiamo atteggiamento. Cosa accadrebbe se smettessimo di mangiare prodotti animali, il cibo più tossico e costoso che l’umanità abbia mai conosciuto, e ci orientassimo a un’alimentazione tutta vegetale? In questo saggio che è diventato un classico del movimento ambientalista, John Robbins ci svela il legame intrinseco tra il nostro cibo e il nostro mondo, ci spiega come districarci nella giungla di informazioni sulle scelte alimentari (diete comprese) scoprendo quanto l’industria del cibo non ci dice. Per mettere in atto una vera «rivoluzione del cibo»: riprendendoci il potere di votare ogni giorno con «forchetta e coltello», per un’alimentazione sana, senza sofferenza e sostenibile. Una lettura appassionante per chiunque si preoccupi della sicurezza alimentare, delle condizioni degli animali ma anche, semplicemente, del destino del pianeta.

Conversations about the power of plant-based diets with Bill McKibben, Marianne Williamson, Neal Barnard, and others: “Empowering.” —Paul McCartney In this book, the bestselling author of the “groundbreaking” Diet for a New America (Mark Bittman, The New York Times), John Robbins, in collaboration with his daughter, presents a collection of interviews with prominent figures exploring the connections among diet, physical health, animal welfare, world hunger, and environmental issues.

Originally published in 1987, Diet for a New America awakened the conscience of a nation with its startling examination of the food we buy and eat — and the moral, economic, and medical price we pay for it. Drawing a clear line connecting America’s factory farm system with disease, animal cruelty, and ecological crises, Robbins makes perhaps the most eloquent argument for vegetarianism ever published. Robbins walked away from his family’s business — the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire — to pursue his dream of promoting a healthy society that practices “compassionate stewardship of a balanced ecosystem.” In Diet for a New America he presents both a disturbing portrait of our current system and a vision for the future that will educate and empower readers to change.

The journalist and author of The Food Revolution offers a collection of essays on food politics, sustainability, and revolution. With words like food additives, GMOs, and Big Food buzzing around, it’s getting harder to choose what to eat. Even the most well-informed eaters could learn a thing or two about real food and the food system. Gathering and updating articles from his Huffington Post column, celebrated food politics journalist John Robbins presents his most recent observations along with never before published material. With commentaries on what we should and shouldn’t eat, Robbins brings us to the frontlines of today’s food revolution. From his undercover investigations of feedlots and slaughterhouses, to the slave trade behind chocolate and coffee, he gives readers a look into the importance of working for a more compassionate and environmentally responsible world. In No Happy Cows, you’ll learn about: · Greed and salmonella · Soy and Alzheimer''s · Vitaminwater deception · And much more!

Did you know that the leading killer in America, cardiovascular disease, is directly linked to meat consumption? Or that you save more water by not eating one pound of beef than you would by not showering for a whole year? Diet for a New America simply and eloquently documents these ecological concerns and more, as well as the little-known horrors that animals experience during factory farming. Few of us are aware that the act of eating can be a powerful statement of commitment to our own well-being, and at the same time to the creation of a healthier world. In Diet for a New America, you will learn how your food choices can provide ways to enjoy life to the fullest, while making it possible that life, itself, might continue. Heeding this message is without a doubt one of the most practical, economical, and potent things you can do today to heal not only your own life, but also the ecosystem on which all life depends. Reading this book will change your life.

With a few exceptions, this book contains previously unpublished stories and yarns about real people, as well as stories from many of the characters encountered by the authors over the years.

The tenth anniversary edition of an essential text on food politics: “Well researched and lucidly written . . . This book is sure to spark discussion” (Publishers Weekly). When John Robbins first released The Food Revolution in 1987, his insights into America’s harmful eating habits gave us a powerful wake-up call. Since then, Robbins has continued to shine a spotlight on the most important issues in food politics, such as our dependence on animal products, provoking awareness and promoting change. Robbins’s arguments for a plant-based diet are compelling and backed by over twenty years of work in the field of sustainable agriculture and conscious eating. This timely new edition will enlighten those curious about plant-based diets and fortify the mindsets of the already converted.

How do you define the good life? For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality, and the health of the planet and those living on it. A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy, it can also drain the true joy from life. In recent years, millions have watched their American Dreams go up in smoke. The international financial collapse, inflation, massive layoffs, and burgeoning consumer debt have left people in dire financial straits—including John Robbins, a crusader for planet-friendly food and lifestyle choices, who lost his entire savings in an investment scam. But Robbins soon realized that there was an upside to our collective financial downturn: Curtailed consumerism could lead us to reassess our lives and values. The New Good Life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured by cash, stocks, and various luxuries, the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters. A passionate manifesto on finding meaning beyond money and status, this book delivers a sound blueprint for living well on less. Discover how to • create your own definition of success based on your deepest beliefs and life experience • alleviate depression, lower blood pressure, and stay fit with inexpensive alternatives for high-cost medications • develop a diet that promotes better health—and saves you money • plan for—and protect yourself from—future economic catastrophes • cut down on your housing and transportation costs • live frugally without deprivation • follow in the footsteps of real people who have effectively forged new financial identities The New Good Life provides much-needed hope and comfort in a time of fear and uncertainty. Here is everything you need to develop high-joy, low-cost solutions to life’s challenges. Practical and timely, this book equips you with the skills needed not only to survive but to thrive in these challenging times.
