The Wolf : Culture, Nature, Heritage
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf.It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage.It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil.Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems.The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species.There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo.We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space.The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century.Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.

New Work New Culture : Work we want and a culture that strengthens us
The “job system” for organizing work has only existed for around 200 years - since the industrial revolution.Always problematic, it now approaches collapse, and what follows, either for good or ill, depends on decisions made and executed in current times.Many people are filled with dismay, and turn for succor to political opportunists.Prescient of the looming disaster, Frithjof Bergmann began to devise alternatives to the job system in the 1970s.He started with the fostering of dialogue, about ameliorating the impacts of layoffs in times of recession, among the workforce in the auto industry and community, in Flint, Michigan.What has evolved, over years, is his proposed alternative to the job system.New Work, New Culture recounts the development of his ideas, and describes one course which humanity might follow, that all might live better lives.

Sex Work in Popular Culture
Sex Work in Popular Culture delves into provocative movies, TV shows, and documentaries about sex work produced in the last fifteen years – a period of debate and change around the meaning of sex work in North American society.From Oscar-winning films to viral YouTube videos, and from indie documentaries to hit series – many of which are made by women – the book reveals how sex work is being recognized as real work and an issue of human rights.Lauren Kirshner shares how popular culture has responded by producing the dynamic new figure of a sex worker who challenges tropes and promotes understanding of the key issues shaping sex work. The book draws on labour and feminist theory, film history, current news, and popular culture, all within the context of neoliberal capitalism and the rise of transactional intimate labour.Kirshner takes us from erotic dance clubs to porn sets, illuminating the professional lives of erotic dancers, massage parlour workers, webcam models, call girls, sex surrogates, and porn performers.Probing how progressive popular culture challenges stereotypes, Sex Work in Popular Culture tells the story of sex work as labour and how the screen can show us the world’s oldest profession in a new light.
