The Life of the Spider

“The environment of Antarctica, ‘the largest and most extreme desert on Earth,” is so foreign to our visual expectations that we are almost unable to perceive it. For Fox, who studies the ways in which humans respond to such vast, empty spaces, it’s the ideal location for examining the connection between cognition and extreme landscapes.”— Publisher’s Weekly“Thoughtful and enjoyable on many fronts, Fox’s uniquely fashioned chronicle of Antarctica brings into sharper focus the crucial symbiosis between art and science.” — Donna Seaman, Booklist“Through his own experiences on the world’s most extreme continent, as well as through historical, cartographic, scientific, and artistic inquiry, Fox explores how we define Antarctica and in turn learn something about ourselves.”— Orion“For once the adspeak cliché is appropriate: if you read only one book about Antarctica, you won’t go wrong choosing this one.” — Books in Heat“Exploring Antarctica--an otherworldly experience--is like exploring another planet. Fox captures this essence in his writing.” — Jerald Winakur, San Antonio Express-News

"This ground-breaking book explores the under-researched area of sexual violence against older women. Ageism and sexism make older women survivors invisible. In an engaging and accessible manner, Bows discusses inter-disciplinary issues and analyses her interviews with practitioners, and survivor case studies. An international research agenda is identified. Essential reading for academics and practitioners." 
John Williams, Emeritus Professor of Law, Aberystwyth University

"A phenomenal book -- probably one of the smartest books about a spirit I've ever read." -- Toronto Star"A rich story . . . engaging." -- Wall Street Journal"A lively exploration of the heritage, culture, practices and politics that shape Mexico's most famous export. Martineau introduces producers using traditional agricultural and distillation methods, shows readers why they're worth preserving, and outlines the challenges facing anyone concerned with the quality and sustainability of tequila, mezcal and other agave spirits." -- Kansas City Star"Martineau journeys through Mexico interviewing producers of the agave-based spirits tequila and mescal. She's dismayed that international beverage distributors now design and market Mexico's signature alcoholic drinks and that techniques of mass production too often sacrifice integrity and authenticity." -- Foreign Affairs"Martineau argues convincingly that good tequila resembles wine more than it does its fellow liquors. She writes of agave plantations as if they are vineyards, with variations in climate, slope, soil, and moisture resulting in variations in the plants that are, in turn, discernible in the distilled product. She co-opts the precious French word terroir and applies it to her subject with no intended loss of dignity." -- Los Angeles Review of Books
