Paperback. Condition: New. Fracking - tar-sand runoff - dirty oil extraction. This is the language of our oil-addicted 21st century society: incredibly invasive, blatant in its purpose, and richly embedded in mythological and archetypal symbolism. The ultimate goal of the industry: To core the underworld.Endangered Hydrocarbons, Lesley Battler's first full-length collection of poetry, shows that the language of hydrocarbon extraction, with its blend of sexual imagery, archetype, science, pseudoscience and the purely speculative, can be as addictive as the resource it pursues.Using pastiche and wordplay, Battler shines a floodlight on the absurdity and pervasiveness of production language in all areas of human life in the oil fields, including art, culture and politics. Incorporating texts generated by a multinational oil company, and spliced with a variety of found material (video games, home decor magazines, works by Henry James and Carl Jung), Battler deliberately tampers with her found material, treating it as crude oil--excavating, mixing, and drilling these texts to emulate extraction processes used by the industry.With traces of Dennis Lee's Testament, Larissa Lai's Automaton Biographies, and Adam Dickinson's The Polymers, this lively and refreshing take on a polarizing topic will resonate with readers of contemporary poetry who connect with environmental issues and capitalist critique.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Encuadernación: rústica In this book, for the first time in world scientific literature, the category of "force" is presented as an attribute of matter alongside motion, space, and time. This enabled the author to develop a different approach to solving the problem of the Big Bang, give a new formulation of the border between life and the inorganic world, and offer his own interpretation in the disputes on the mind-body problem. The category of "ontological force" formulated by the author has allowed him to develop a new definition of the concept of progress, which creates a methodological basis for fruitful research in the fields of the social sciences and international relations. This book is intended for instructors and students of philosophy and the natural sciences, as well as for all those interested in the problems of the universe, life, and man. Alex Battler, a Canadian citizen of Russian origin who resides in France (Paris), is a doctor of historical science and a full member of the Military Academy of Science of the Russian Federation. He worked for many years as a professor of political science, economics, and international relations in many Russian schools of higher education (in Moscow and Vladivostok). He has published about 300 books and articles worldwide (mostly in Russia). These include twenty individually written books and contributions to more than twenty collective monographs. In recent years, he has been tackling philosophy and sociology. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
