Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who smells? Surveying nearly eighty novels written in the 1860s to answer that impolite question, Common Scents provides a new reading of Victorian values, particularly as they assess the relative merits of men and women, spirit and matter. In depictions of comparative encounters, the commonplace meetings of everyday life, such fiction often registers the inequalities that distinguish one individual from another by marking one of them with a smell. In a surprisingly consistent fashion, these references constitute what cultural anthropologists call an osmology, a system of differentiations that reveals the status within a particular culture of the persons and things associated with specific odors. Featuring often innocuous and even potentially pleasing aromas emanating from food, flowers, and certain kinds of labor, novels of the 1860s array their characters into distinct categories, finding in some rather than others olfactory proof of their materiality. Central to this osmology is the difference between characters who give off odors and those who do not, and this study draws upon the work of Victorian psychophysiologists and popular commentators on the senses to establish the subtlety with which fictional representations make that distinction. By exploring the far-reaching implications of this osmology in specific novels by Dickens, Eliot, Meredith, Oliphant, Trollope, and Yonge, Common Scents argues that the strikingly similar plots and characterizations typical of the 1860s, responding as they do to the economic and political concerns of the decade, reconfigure conventional understandings of the relations between men and women. Determining who smells reveals what Victorian culture at its epitome takes for granted as a deeply embedded common sense, the recognition of whose self-evident truth seems to be as instinctive and automatic as a response to an odor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sense of smell has long been the most neglected of the human senses in literature. Common Scents sets out to undo this forgetting of olfactory sense-making by tracing the appearance of odors in modern German and French poetry. Jonas Rosenbrück argues that smell's persistence undermines modernity's self-image as an ocular age and shows how scents index a veritable "revolution of the senses." Such a revolution, as a redistribution of the senses, would make the common and shared character of our existence in scented atmospheres perceptible. Bringing contemporary ecocritical interest in atmospheres, air, and the senses into dialogue with literary criticism, theories of modernity, and political philosophy, Common Scents provides novel interpretations of figures such as Friedrich Hölderlin, Charles Baudelaire, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Bertolt Brecht. These readings demonstrate how all terrestrial life is interlinked in the aerial commons that escapes the privatizing grasp of what Karl Marx called the "sense of having." Reformulating Bruno Latour, Rosenbrück argues that we have never been deodorized. In attending to this fact, Common Scents reconfigures subjectivity, corporeality, and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicultural Comics: From Zap to Blue Beetle is the first comprehensive look at comic books by and about race and ethnicity. The thirteen essays tease out for the general reader the nuances of how such multicultural comics skillfully combine visual and verbal elements to tell richly compelling stories that gravitate around issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality within and outside the U.S. comic book industry. Among the explorations of mainstream and independent comic books are discussions of the work of Adrian Tomine, Grant Morrison, and Jessica Abel as well as Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan's The Tomb of Dracula; Native American Anishinaabe-related comics; mixed-media forms such as Kerry James Marshall's comic-book/community performance; DJ Spooky's visual remix of classic film; the role of comics in India; and race in the early Underground Comix movement. The collection includes a "one-stop shop" for multicultural comic book resources, such as archives, websites, and scholarly books. Each of the essays shows in a systematic, clear, and precise way how multicultural comic books work in and of themselves and also how they are interconnected with a worldwide tradition of comic-book storytelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive and engaging volume, medical historian Jonathan Reinarz offers a historiography of smell from ancient to modern times. Synthesizing existing scholarship in the field, he shows how people have relied on their olfactory sense to understand and engage with both their immediate environments and wider corporal and spiritual worlds. This broad survey demonstrates how each community or commodity possesses, or has been thought to possess, its own peculiar scent. Through the meanings associated with smells, osmologies develop--what cultural anthropologists have termed the systems that utilize smells to classify people and objects in ways that define their relations to each other and their relative values within a particular culture. European Christians, for instance, relied on their noses to differentiate Christians from heathens, whites from people of color, women from men, virgins from harlots, artisans from aristocracy, and pollution from perfume. This reliance on smell was not limited to the global North. Around the world, Reinarz shows, people used scents to signify individual and group identity in a morally constructed universe where the good smelled pleasant and their opposites reeked. With chapters including "Heavenly Scents," "Fragrant Lucre," and "Odorous Others," Reinarz's timely survey is a useful and entertaining look at the history of one of our most important but least-understood senses.

Book excerpt: My Number Was Up, Dad", written by Gary and Gabriel Vaught, is the real life account of a phenomenal sequence of events (that still occur today) following the death of the family's eighteen-year old son, Gabriel. Gabriel died suddenly and tragically while attending college in Chicago, Il, from symptoms associated with Type-One, (Insulin Dependent) Diabetes. The entire event was a mystery for two short days until their son contacted them from the afterlife to explain his death, his departure from the earth, his amazing revelations and observations of and from heaven. This Fisher's, Indiana, family could have never imagined a more tragic or startling turn of events in their life. From experiencing the grief of the horror of hearing of their son's mysterious death, to the channeled communications that occurred in a leisurely dialogue that reinforces his existence in the afterlife, (proving the "Afterlife Consciousness" theory) through Spirit communications. Numerous conversations subsequently have occurred bringing Light to the Vaught's of what each individual can expect to learn here and hereafter. The journey is laid out in an easy to understand process that bears witness to why each human being lives here and hereafter. The story is a tragedy turned into a triumphant joy for Gary, producing an inner peace that brings him now to the threshold of an entirely new and different life. He spends each moment now walking with Christ. Serving God in instructional and guided ways that help humans better understand their true Spiritual awakening, he discusses anyone's abilities to communicate with Spirit for guidance or joyous purposes, through conscious awareness and practice. The significance of the messages, serve to inspire faith and awareness, and are insightful, as they raise one's consciousness beyond customary routine thinking. This book offers hope to anyone and everyone that has ever lost a loved one, especially a child, that our loved ones are indeed here with us, always!

Book excerpt: QUERY FILETS, a literary treat for gourmet appetites FILETS, consists of 49 poems given in contemporary prose and concludes with a long, short story entitled WAIT UNTIL SPRING. The hardcover book is 135 pages long and is also available in soft cover and as an e-book edition. This is not a cookbook, but it does feature appetizing treats that cover a cafeteria selection of subjects of interest to any curious reader with a yen for variety and humor. Politics, romance, environment, philosophy, psychology, sex, all those subjects constitute a fervent poetic pursuit by the author in Part 1 of the book. The names of the persons of the drama are so thinly disguised you will identify some of the stars of the shows at a single glance: Rough Gumballs, Master of Histrionics at the Mike; Newter the Tooter, whose truths really are stranger than fiction and who is a Master of Myths Good as Mile; Glenn Peckerwood, whose blackboard masterpieces are but pentagrams chalked up in Upper Chambers where the script will be viewed by future historians as graphs for laughs and difficult of comprehension. These characters do their patriotic best to add more fuel to an economic fire not unlike the one that consumed Rome. Given the fact that the triumphs of our former Commander-in-Chief and his congress contributed a lion's share of the forces that changed the Greenback into a Hunchback, how else can these aforementioned luminaries work their will to anymore of our further detriment than by removing from the electorate all reasonable caretaker responsibility in their behalf, for which mission governments are created? ______________________________________________________________________________ Following are a few prime cuts from FILETS' menu to orient the reader to the varied contents of the book: LOVELIGHT : "...She warmed his cold soul with new adoration, A love as long and sure within him As the lambent glow of quiet gold." p.32 COVER GIRL: "a gorgeous sinner of attraction" p.22 THE CANDIDATE or SYMPHONY FROM THE NEWT WORLD: Clearly a case in which a speaker can "overspeak" to the point, an oral contraceptive is well advised. p.5 ( Not to be confused with THE ORAL ART OF PASSING GAS, a key to understanding the Speaker's spoken word.) p.110 THE NADER AFFAIR : Nader's affair with Sara Lee; she's " sweet and plenty of dough!" p.12 NICOTINE KNOCKOUT IN MY LOCAL, HOME OWNED MASSAGE SALON : Can one mix bliss with smoke rings? Just how far down Tobacco Road is non-smoker willing to go? p.2 ON THE LOVELIFE OF AN OPHRYS ORCHID: shows how torrid flower power is really as aphrodisiac. The wasp gets his dorsal tickled, making that bloom a real passion flower by turning this flight into an obvious mission of love, a phenomenon in Nature known as pollination. p.34 MY DUNES DAY: An environmental tragedy if there ever was one. What it was, in those days of yesteryear, was as ancient landscape with the memory of trolley tracks and artifacts, bent pennies and fudge sticks, raging, inlet winds (as the poem goes) and a steamy still life, totally void of AC. The pavilion was filled with couples on the dance floor, their hot bodies fused into an amalgam caused by the summer heat and hi-test-tosterone raging in the pulse of youthful desire Tragedy followed when entrepreneurs brought in backhoes to change the face of the beach and make sand dunes look like salt flats. Trolley tracks vanished in favor of, as mentioned in the Ralph Nader poem (p.12), beneficiaries of the fast food fad and the first instance of hot dogs being made with unwanted chicken parts (cry fowl!). Eventually, the beach was built over- or overbuilt-- so that the proximity of the next door neighbors enabled friendships to be cemented house-to-house by each homeowner's opening a window and giving one another a g

Book excerpt: This writing consists of the inside story on hunting and fishing as it really happens. As a writer of how to articles in outdoors magazines, I always felt they never told the whole story. Planning for success is important, and taking a trophy animal or a big fish is rewarding and fun. I can remember lying in the hospital with not much hope of ever being in the outdoors again, with cancer. As I thought of my outdoors experiences I found that the real pleasure in the outdoors were the memories of family and friends, and all the adventures along the way, the funny mistakes and just watching everyone have fun. Of course there were big bucks and large fish on these outings too. Many people make hunting and fishing a job, and miss the real reason for being out in nature, enjoyment! Just participating by laughing and living the moment no matter what, is the key. So sit back and relax, kick your shoes off, and travel memory lane with me. Prepare to at least smile or even laugh for then you will be as happy as me, hunting and fishing now cancer free.

Book excerpt: Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Our sense of smell is crucial to our survival. We can smell fear, disease, food. Fragrance is also entertainment. We can smell an expensive bottle of perfume at a high-end department store. Perhaps it reminds us of our favorite aunt. A memory in a bottle is a powerful thing. Megan Volpert's Perfume carefully balances the artistry with the science of perfume. The science takes us into the neurology of scent receptors, how taste is mostly smell, the biology of illnesses that impact scent sense, and the chemistry of making and copying perfume. The artistry of perfume involves the five scent families and symbolism, subjectivity in perfume preference, perfume marketing strategies, iconic scents and perfumers, why the industry is so secretive, and Volpert's own experiments with making perfume. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
