Understanding Everyday Incivility
Understanding Everyday Incivility delves into the day-to-day annoying behaviors that color our interactions with other people, such as the use of crude language in public, family members who claim that they’re “just teasing” and we’re “too sensitive,” coworkers who constantly interrupt us, and inflammatory remarks posted on social media sites. Shelley D. Lane explores what is considered uncivil behavior, why we label some acts as crude or selfish while others are deemed polite and proper, and how these labels often change from one context to the next. She highlights the power dynamics at play in our interactions and explains how “rude” behavior can sometimes be beneficial—and “polite” behavior can be detrimental. Rather than a simplistic manual of manners, Lane provides the tools to understand everyday incivility and strategies for responding effectively and appropriately.
Extreme Heroism
On his way to face criminal charges in 1984, a man is declared a hero by three other survivors of a commuter airline crash in northern Alberta, Canada. The Canadian press takes special interest in this story of an unlikely hero saving his RCMP escort, the pilot, and a member of parliament. They describe the mans actions with a reverence and respect usually reserved for the holy, saintly and spiritual. These and many other similar incidents are part of a global pattern pleading for our attention. The impetus behind them unites us across the divides of age, gender, race, religion, nationality, and every other boundary. This type of heroism goes largely unnoticed, but it binds humanity together...

Creating a Common Table in 20th-century Argentina
"Dona Petrona C. de Gandulfo (c. 1896-1992) reigned as Argentina's preeminent domestic and culinary expert from the 1930s through the 1980s. An enduring culinary icon thanks to her magazine columns, radio programs, and television shows, she was likely second only to Eva Peron in terms of the fame she enjoyed and the adulation she received. Her cookbook garnered tremendous popularity, becoming one of the three best-selling books in Argentina. Dona Petrona capitalized on and contributed to the growing appreciation for women's domestic roles as the Argentine economy expanded and fell into periodic crises. Drawing on a wide range of materials, including her own interviews with Dona Petrona's inn...

Geografia das Relações Internacionais da América Latina e Caribe: Temas e Debates
A complexidade do mundo atual desafia o conjunto de saberes disciplinares institucionalizados com seus conceitos e discussões, especialmente os campos da Geografia e das Relações Internacionais. A interlocução entre esses campos, no entender dos organizadores e autores desta obra, potencializa o desenvolvimento de alternativas analíticas que buscam somar às já existentes, muitas vezes focadas nas particularidades de seus objetos teóricos. Duas décadas adentro no século XXI, em um mundo atravessado por inúmeras crises e desafios, são muito mais dúvidas do que certezas que nos inquietam, e a América Latina e o Caribe não estão alheios a essas transformações do mundo e nem re...
