Science and Hypothesis is a classic text in history and philosophy
of science. Widely popular since its original publication in 1902,
this first new translation of the work in over a century features
unpublished material missing from earlier editions. Addressing
errors introduced by Greenstreet and Halsted in their early
20th-century translations, it incorporates all the changes,
corrections and additions Poincare made over the years. Taking care
to update the writing for a modern audience, Poincare's ideas and
arguments on the role of hypotheses in mathematics and in science
become clearer and closer to his original meaning, while David J.
Stump's introduction gives fresh insights into Poincare's
philosophy of science. By approaching Science and Hypothesis from a
contemporary perspective, it presents a better understanding of
Poincare's hierarchy of the sciences, with arithmetic as the
foundation, geometry as the science of space, then mechanics and
the rest of physics. For philosophers of science and scientists
working on problems of space, time and relativity, this is a much
needed translation of a ground-breaking work which demonstrates why
Poincare is still relevant today.
Diversity and Entrepreneurship provides a comparative analysis of
women entrepreneurs across racial lines (white versus minorities).
The characteristics of the business owners, the characteristics of
the businesses, and the network structures of the business owners
are analyzed to determine what factors lead to economic success for
the two groups of women entrepreneurs.
Feminist Praxis against U.S. Militarism provides critical feminist
and womanist analyses of U.S. militarism that challenge the ongoing
U.S. neoliberal military-industrial complex and its multivalent
violence that destroys people's lives, especially women and other
vulnerable populations. It highlights the intentional critique of
U.S. militarism from feminist/womanist perspectives that seek to
show the ways in which gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and
violence intersect to threaten women's lives, especially women of
color's lives, and the broader environment upon which women's lives
are dependent. Most of all, this volume challenges the readers to
understand the U.S. as the warfare, counterterror, carceral state
and its devastating effects on the everyday lives of women,
especially women of color, locally, nationally, and globally. This
volume also helps readers understand the racialized gendered
impacts of U.S. militarism in conjunction with the ongoing global
economies of dispossession and militarized violence across the
borders of nation-states. Interrogating U.S. military interventions
in "other" countries can show how the U.S. War on Terror directly
affects U.S. "domestic" affairs and daily lives in the United
States.

While the world has undoubtedly been shrinking, at the same time it
has grown more complex. The likelihood of culture clashes leading
to outright conflict is high, perhaps higher than ever. As Andrea
L. Smith convincingly argues in her new introduction to this
classic work, certain questions are as valid today as in 1949, when
Mirror for Man was first published. Can anthropology break down
prejudices that exist between peoples and nations? Can knowledge of
past human behavior help solve the world's modern problems? What
effect will American attitudes likely have on the future of the
world? In Mirror for Man, Clyde Kluckhohn scrutinizes anthropology,
showing how the discipline can contribute to the reconciliation of
conflicting cultures. He questions age-old race theories, shows how
people came to be as they are, and examines limitations in how
human beings can be molded. Taking up one of the most vital
questions in the post-World War II world, whether international
order can be achieved by domination, Kluckhohn demonstrates that
cultural clashes drive much of the world's conflict, and shows how
we can help resolve it if only we are willing to work for joint
understanding. By interpreting human behavior, Kluckhohn reveals
that anthropology can make a practical contribution through its
predictive power in the realm of politics, social attitudes, and
group psychology. Andrea L. Smith's new introduction provides
convincing evidence for the continuing importance of one of the
earliest "public intellectuals."
The contributors to Otherwise Worlds investigate the complex
relationships between settler colonialism and anti-Blackness to
explore the political possibilities that emerge from such
inquiries. Pointing out that presumptions of solidarity,
antagonism, or incommensurability between Black and Native
communities are insufficient to understand the relationships
between the groups, the volume's scholars, artists, and activists
look to articulate new modes of living and organizing in the
service of creating new futures. Among other topics, they examine
the ontological status of Blackness and Indigeneity, possible forms
of relationality between Black and Native communities, perspectives
on Black and Indigenous sociality, and freeing the flesh from the
constraints of violence and settler colonialism. Throughout the
volume's essays, art, and interviews, the contributors carefully
attend to alternative kinds of relationships between Black and
Native communities that can lead toward liberation. In so doing,
they critically point to the importance of Black and Indigenous
conversations for formulating otherwise worlds. Contributors Maile

Dynamic Embodiment of the Sun Salutation(R) Pathways to Balancing
the Chakras and the Neuroendocrine System guides you to do the Sun
Salutation with more ease by integrating awareness of glandular and
chakral embodiment cues and neuro-developmental movement.
Everything in this book can be applied to your personal practice
and overall health, or to teaching others. It offers a soft,
organic yet powerful approach to being in the poses and
transitioning between them. What you will learn is effective and
surprising. There is tangible mystery in accessing this ability,
which we all have, to embody the endocrine system and the related
energy fields. By working with the endocrine system and their
correlations with the chakras we are grounding the subtle within
the physical body. Learn about the dynamic combination of the
specific electrical and systemic circulatory nature of the
neuroendocrine system. Discover how the anatomical placement of the
glands and the spatial tensions (or tensegrity) surrounding them
are the natural bridge to activating the energy needed for a
fulfilling life. One access route to these dynamic stimuli is
through Body Mind Centering's developmental approach, conveyed
through the lens of Dynamic Embodiment by BMC(R) Master teacher Dr
Martha Eddy. This approach includes an understanding of careful
skeletal positioning, brain-activating movement and hormonal
balancing as well as integrating broader social somatic contexts
such as the impact of lifestyle, cultural and intergenerational
influences. In an age when, most likely, at least one person you
know is struggling with thyroid, adrenal, or reproductive glandular
imbalance, this book will provide information on the physical,
emotional and spiritual impact of attuning with the glands and
early childhood development imprints while practising the Sun
Salutation. It includes clues for what to do when yoga or endocrine
work brings on chaos - from trauma triggers, kundalini overwhelm,
to basic life confusion. It gives you the tools to help ground
yourself and others, and to take centered action in a dynamic
world.
For many evangelicals, liberation theology seems a distant notion.
Some might think it is antithetical to evangelicalism, while others
simply may be unfamiliar with the role evangelicals have played in
the development of liberation theologies and their profound effect
on Latin American, African American, and other global subaltern
Christian communities. Despite the current rise in evangelicals
focusing on justice work as an element of their faith, evangelical
theologians have not adequately developed a theological foundation
for this kind of activism. Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and
Justice fills this gap by bringing together the voices of
academics, activists, and pastors to articulate evangelical
liberation theologies from diverse perspectives. Through critical
engagement, these contributors consider what liberation theology
and evangelical tenets of faith have to offer one another.
Evangelical thinkers-including Soong-Chan Rah, Chanequa
Walker-Barnes, Robert Chao Romero, Paul Louis Metzger, and Alexia
Salvatierra-survey the history and outlines of liberation theology
and cover topics such as race, gender, region, body type, animal
rights, and the importance of community. Scholars, students, and
churches who seek to engage in reflection and action around issues
of biblical justice will find here a unique and insightful
resource. Evangelical Theologies of Liberation and Justice opens a
conversation for developing a specifically evangelical view of
liberation that speaks to the critical justice issues of our time.

In the 1990s, many evangelical Christian organizations and church
leaders began to acknowledge their long history of racism and
launched efforts at becoming more inclusive of people of color.
While much of this racial reconciliation movement has not directly
confronted systemic racism's structural causes, there exists a
smaller countermovement within evangelicalism, primarily led by
women of color who are actively engaged in antiracism and social
justice struggles. In Unreconciled Andrea Smith examines these
movements through a critical ethnic studies lens, evaluating the
varying degrees to which evangelical communities that were founded
on white supremacy have addressed racism. Drawing on evangelical
publications, sermons, and organization statements, as well as
ethnographic fieldwork and participation in evangelical events,
Smith shows how evangelicalism is largely unable to effectively
challenge white supremacy due to its reliance upon discourses of
whiteness. At the same time, the work of progressive evangelical
women of color not only demonstrates that evangelical Christianity
can be an unexpected place in which to find theoretical critique
and social justice organizing but also shows how critical ethnic
studies' interventions can be applied broadly across political and
religious divides outside the academy.
