There are some of us who cant even stand to look at themand others who cant live without them: chillies have been searing tongues and watering eyes for centuries in innumerable global cuisines. In this book, Heather Arndt Anderson explores the many ways nature has attempted to take the roofs of our mouths offfrom the deceptively vegetal-looking jalapeno to the fire-red ghost pepperand the many ways we have gleefully risen to the challenge. Arndt Anderson tells the story of the spicy berrys rise to prominence, showing that it was cultivated and venerated by the ancient people of Mesoamerica for millennia before intrepid Spanish explorers brought them back to Europe. She traces the chillis spread along trading routes to every corner of the globe, and she explores the many important spiritual and cultural links that we have formed with them, from their use as an aphrodisiac to, in more modern times, an especially masochistic kind of eating competition. Ultimately, she uses the chili to tell a larger story of global trade, showing how the spread of spicy cuisine can tell us much about the global exchangeand sometimes dominationof culture. Mixing history, botany, and cooking, this entertaining read will give your bookshelf just the kick it needs. Autorid: Heather Arndt Anderson
Religious commitments can be a powerful engine for progressive social change, and in this new book, Raúl E. Zegarra examines the process of articulation of religious beliefs and political concerns that takes place in religious organizing and activism. Focusing on the example of Latin American liberation theology and the work of Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutiérrez, Zegarra shows how liberation theology advocates have been able to produce a new balance between faith and politics that advances an agenda of progressive social change without reducing politics to faith or faith to politics. Drawing from theologian David Tracy's method of critical correlation, the book focuses on key historical, philosophical, and theological shifts that have allowed liberation theologians to produce a new interpretation of the relationship between faith and politics in the Christian tradition, especially when issues of social justice are at stake. The book further approaches liberation theology's contributions to theorizing social justice through an unconventional path: a critical dialogue with the work of philosopher John Rawls. This dialogue, as Zegarra contends, allows us to see more clearly the contributions of liberation theology to the cause of progressive social change. Ultimately the book stands between "public religion" and "public reason," offering something of a blueprint for theological innovation and for how to remain committed to one's faith while respecting and defending the core values of democracy.

An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained invisible. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts -- talented and socially awkward. Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? In The Autists, Clara Tornvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens -- what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take centre stage.
The Commodore 64 is the most signifi cant computer of its era. From 1982 to 1994, a total of 27 million units were sold-more than any other computer from a single manufacturer a erwards. Due to its widespread use as well as its technicalfeatures, the C64 has a huge international following-even to this day. The 19 contributions compiled in this book illustrate the signifi cance of the platform for the digitalization of society, the general public's computer science knowledge,as well as digital art and culture-both in the past, present, and also in the future. Volume 5 of the 'Computer Archaeology' series is partly based on the conference of the same name held in 2024 at the University of Bonn and has here beensupplemented with additional contributions from the fi elds of artifi cial intelligence, quantum computing, and digital humanities.
