Synopsis

In "Our Common Insects," A. S. Packard presents a comprehensive survey of the diverse insect life inhabiting various ecosystems. Through a meticulous blend of natural history, entomological study, and poetic observation, the book articulates the significance of insects in ecological balance and human life. Packard's writing, characterized by a captivating yet scholarly style, successfully anchors itself in the Victorian enthusiasm for natural sciences, reflecting both a scientific rigor and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world. Illustrated with detailed descriptions and drawings, this work emphasizes the interconnectedness of species and habitats, making it essential reading for both lay enthusiasts and serious scholars of entomology. As a prominent figure in the burgeoning field of entomology in the late 19th century, A. S. Packard's passion for natural sciences is rooted in his background in the study of zoology and paleontology. His extensive fieldwork and active participation in scientific societies reflect an enduring commitment to understanding the intricate roles played by insects. This profound curiosity about the natural world is palpable throughout the text, engaging readers with insightful observations while advancing the scientific discourse of his time. "Our Common Insects" is a vital resource for anyone interested in the natural sciences, ecology, or biodiversity. Packard's articulate prose not only educates but also inspires readers to appreciate the complexity and beauty of insect life. This work is an invitation to explore the underappreciated world of insects, enhancing our understanding of their critical role within our ecosystems.

    Against Technoableism -...

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    What's sexy about saving the planet? Funny you should ask. Because that is precisely—or, perhaps, broadly—what Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens have spent many years bringing to light in their live art, exhibitions, and films. In 2008, Sprinkle and Stephens married the Earth, which set them on the path to explore the realms of ecosexuality as they became lovers with the Earth and made their mutual pleasure an embodied expression of passion for the environment. Ever since, they have been not just pushing but obliterating the boundaries circumscribing biology and ecology, creating ecosexual art in their performance of an environmentalism that is feminist, queer, sensual, sexual, posthuman, materialist, exuberant, and steeped in humor. 
     
     
     
    Assuming the Ecosexual Position tells of childhood moments that pointed to a future of ecosexuality—for Annie, in her family swimming pool in Los Angeles; for Beth, savoring forbidden tomatoes from the vine on her grandparents' Appalachian farm. The book describes how the two came together as lovers and collaborators, how they took a stand against homophobia and xenophobia, and how this union led to the miraculous conception of the Love Art Laboratory, which involved influential performance artists Linda M. Montano, Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and feminist pornographer Madison Young.
