History and Memory in the Age of Enslavement

"A challenging though rewarding exploration of the meaning and purpose of life." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;"What, Haig asks, is the teleological purpose of consciousness? In the case of human beings, our consciousness is designed to interpret, through an evolved instinct of sympathy, the subjective attitudes and intentions of others."&mdash;CHOICE &ldquo;David Haig's powerful mind and trenchant wit are fully matched by his caring heart and his gracious style. I shall be recommending this book to my students, giving it to my friends, and sampling it repeatedly.&rdquo; &mdash;Stephen C. Stearns, Edward P. Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University; author of&#160;Evolutionary Medicine &#160; &ldquo;Haig's book&#160;could be a game-changer in the fraught relation between the biological sciences and philosophy. Its intriguing moral may be his dauntingly scientific first thirteen chapters legitimize and actually call for the kind of philosophical thinking that his last chapters unabashedly exemplify.&rdquo; &mdash;Richard Schacht, Jubilee Professor of Philosophy (Emeritus), University of Illinois &#160; &ldquo;In this profound and witty book, David Haig rediscovers Aristotle's four causes and tackles the foundations of biology and philosophy (and their joint history). He offers a subtle yet far-reaching, reinterpretation of genetics, culture, and the nature and meaning of meaning. Read it; he writes, and rewrites, all of us.&rdquo; &mdash;Eric Schliesser, Professor, Political Science, University of Amsterdam, and Visiting Scholar, Smith Institute for Political Economy and Philosophy,&#160; Chapman University

"A treasure of well-lived stories and well-loved recipes... This book is useful for beginners looking for solid information and easy-to-find supplies and techniques that will start them on a safe path with healing herbs. Seasoned practitioners also will find great value from the author's years of experience and her mastery of food and plant medicine... The plethora of beautiful recipes, healing stories, and decades of work as a community herbalist certainly make this book a success." &mdash; HerbalGram, The Journal of the American Botanical Council"Using narrative and personal anecdotes based on decades of clinical experience as an herbalist in New York and New&#160;Jersey, Bennett offers contemporary as well as tried and true, practical protocols and recipes for herbal healing as she&#160;underlines the mind-body connection as part of an integrated healing approach.&#160;The Gift of Healing Herbs&#160;teaches&#160;through stories, going beyond the basic directives found in many herb books. Bennett indeed offers an in-depth treasure trove of plant wisdom, with recipes and remedies useful to all readers, but shares also her compassion, wisdom,&#160;and experiences as a healer to remind us to look at the individual as an equal part in the healing equation. I have many&#160;herbals on my shelf, but this is truly one of the best herbals I have ever read." &mdash;International Herb Association Newsletter"An herbal written by a practicing herbalist&mdash;filled with practical hints and helps for you. Destined to become a classic, Robin Rose Bennett's new book is a delicious quaff."&mdash;Susun S. Weed, author of the Wise Woman Herbal series&ldquo;A book like The Gift of Healing Herbs only comes along once in a while because there are only a small number of herbalists who possess the decades of clinical experience necessary to pen such a work. Practitioners like Robin Rose Bennett, who perpetuate and expand an ancient art, are themselves a treasured part of our vibrant herbal heritage.&rdquo; &mdash;Matthew Wood, author of The Book of Herbal Wisdom and The Earthwise Herbal &#160; &ldquo;The Gift of Healing Herbs contains far more than the simple directives found in most herb books&mdash;Robin Rose Bennett teaches through stories, and the teachings are profound. Spiritual insights are richly interwoven with excellent herbal remedies.&hellip; Bennett brings a joyful spirit and an open heart to all she does.&rdquo; &mdash;Rosemary Gladstar, visionary herbalist and author of Rosemary Gladstar&rsquo;s Medicinal Herbs&ldquo;The tone [of The Gift of Healing Herbs] is warm and earthy, and  Bennett offers guidance and wisdom for healing more than just the  physical; her approach is very much rooted in treating the whole being,  rooted in the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. The book  is organized primarily by identifying herbs that support the various  systems of the body: cardiovascular, digestive, immune-lymphatic,  musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, skin (the integument system),  sexual/reproductive, etc., but is interspersed with anecdotes,  meditations, case studies, and plant profiles. Included are recipes and  remedies, preparations, dosage recommendations and safety guidelines.&rdquo; &mdash;Tara Kanoti, The Herb Society of America&ldquo;The Gift of Healing Herbs is a gift to all of us from Robin Rose Bennett. &hellip; The herbal remedies contained within the pages of this book have been time-tested with excellent results. [Bennett&rsquo;s] book is thoughtfully laid out for easy reference, her recipes are easy to follow, and some are downright fun. The book is a joy to read and use; we are all grateful to Robin for sharing her years of experience with all of us. We are so pleased to have this book on our bookshelf.&rdquo; &mdash;Andrea Reisen, Healing Spirits Herb Farm and Education Center&ldquo;Reading Bennett&rsquo;s book was a breath of fresh air&hellip; a welcome and  powerful reminder that the origin of herbalism is in the plants  themselves&mdash;something that is all too easy to forget in this world of  double blind studies and clinical medicine. Throughout this book she  gently reminds us of numerous ways to connect deeply and authentically  with plants, how to nurture these profound relations, and ultimately  appreciate the multiple levels of medicine they have to offer. &hellip; [The Gift of Healing Herbs]  will help you remember that it is possible to walk a healing path that  is in alignment with your own true nature&mdash;that radiant beauty that is  uniquely you.&rdquo; &mdash;Herb Geek&ldquo;Composed of personal stories, case histories, recipes, basic plant information, and instructions on how to use herbal remedies to treat a number of physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments,&#160;The Gift of Healing Herbs looks to be an engaging introduction to the myriad ways in which herbology can affect our bodies and minds.&rdquo; &mdash;Ashley Brooke Roberts, Barnes & Noble Book Blog "[Robin Rose Bennett's] work leads us straight to the truth of the interconnectedness of all life. She empowers us to discover the story underneath our health challenges and helps us find the courage to make deeper connections to our bodies &mdash; and to nature Herself."&#160; &mdash;SageWoman Magazine
