The Future of Post-Human Sexuality
Modern sexual freedom is a seductive ideology, blinding us to its dark side. This book offers a radical new way to understand sexuality, with profound implications for the future of humanity.
The Land Agent in Britain
Historians, practitioners and representatives of land agent bodies are brought together to explore the necessary skills of a land agent. The volume traces the development of such skills as farming and entrepreneurialism to look to the post-Brexit future of estates and agents.
The Future of Post-Human Semantics
Is semantics truly indeterminate? Contrary to opposing ideas, this book offers a new theory to go beyond existing approaches. This seminal project will fundamentally change how we think about semantics, with enormous implications for the human future.
Sabater addresses the compelling demand for quantitative training in plant biology, including comparisons of the rate of processes, the size of structures and interactions among different processes, approached at different levels from molecules to the environment.
The Nigerian Cocoa Industry and the International Economy in the 1930s
This monograph uses the Nigerian cocoa industry’s encounter with the world economy of the 1930s to knit together a gamut of themes ranging from the social formations of production to the forces of demand and supply, as well as the protest movements against monopoly capitalism.
