Destination Korea
Dana Abbott Curtis served as an infantryman and an engineer for the U.S. Army in the Korean War. This book was created by his granddaughter (Dillard) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death. The text comprises, mainly, letters written by Curtis to his wife between January, 1950, and April, 1951. Speaking as one of thousands of Americans who served in the Korean War, Curtis provides the reader with a sense of "...the family and friends involved, the small town concerns which persisted, and the values which have made service in national interest so eloquently clothed in gallantry and honor." c.

Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor
“Groundbreaking in its call to reconsider our approach to the slow rhythm of time in the very concrete realms of environmental health and social justice.” —Wold Literature Today The violence wrought by climate change, toxic drift, deforestation, oil spills, and the environmental aftermath of war takes place gradually and often invisibly. Using the innovative concept of "slow violence" to describe these threats, Rob Nixon focuses on the inattention we have paid to the attritional lethality of many environmental crises, in contrast with the sensational, spectacle-driven messaging that impels public activism today. Slow violence, because it is so readily ignored by a hard-charging capital...

Imagining Extinction
We are currently facing the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of life on Earth, biologists claim—the first one caused by humans.

More than that, she shows how biodiversity conservation, even and especially in its scientific and legal dimensions, is shaped by cultural assumptions about what is valuable in nature and what is not.
