The fast : the history, science, philosophy, and promise of doing without / by Oakes, John,1961-author.(CARDINAL)883117;
"An engaging exploration of the unique history and biology of fasting-an essential component of many traditional health practices, religions, and philosophies, resurging in popularity today--perfect for readers of Breath by James Nestor and Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker.We fast all the time, even when we're not conscious of doing so. A fast manifests the idea of holding back, resisting the animal impulse to charge ahead. Its flip side is similarly everywhere: call it splurging, self-indulgence, or a variant of "self-care." Based on extensive historical, scientific, and cultural research and reporting, The Fast illuminates the numerous facets of this act of self-deprivation. John Oakes interviews doctors, spiritual leaders, activists, and others who guide him through this practice--and embarks on fasts of his own--to deliver a book that supplies readers curious about fasting with profound new understanding, appreciation, and inspiration. Fasting has become increasingly popular for a variety of reasons-from health advocates who see fasting as a method to lose weight or to detox, to the faithful who fast in prayer, to seekers pursuing mindfulness, to activists using hunger strikes as an effective means of peaceful protest. Fasting is central to holy seasons and days such as Lent in Christianity, Ramadan in Islam, and Yom Kippur in Judaism. Advocates for justice who have waged hunger strikes include Gandhi in India, Bobby Sands in Ireland, and the Taxi Workers Alliance in New York City. Whether for philosophical, political, or health-related reasons, fasting marks a departure from daily routine. Fasting involves doing less but doing less in a radical way, reminding us that a slower, more intentional contemplative experience can be more fulfilling. Ultimately, this book shows us that fasting is about much more than food: it is about reconsidering our place in the world"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Day 1, Sunday "Spaces Between" : a visit to the quietest place on Earth -- Day 2, Monday Ascetic roots 1 : the Greeks, Buddha, and their legacies -- Day 3, Tuesday The marvelous machine : what happens to our body when we fast -- Day 4, Wednesday Ascetic roots 2: the Abrahamic traditions -- Day 5, Thursday The river of kings : fasting as protest -- Day 6, Friday Fasting, frauds, and faddism -- Day 7, Saturday Self-cancellation -- Epilogue -- A sampling of famous fasters -- Selected books related to fasting.

What's a dog for? : the surprising history, science, philosophy, and politics of man's best friend / by Homans, John,1958-2020.(CARDINAL)558438;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Entering the world of dog -- The family dog -- The search for Stella's brain -- How the match was made -- Leaping toward humanity -- Dumb animals -- Darwin's muse -- The mind returns -- The wolves that came in from the cold -- Mixing the lab -- Beyond breeds -- Future canines -- The great migration -- The birth of empathy -- The rights of dog -- Dog years.Journalist John Homans explores the dog's complex place in our world and how it came to be. Evolving from wild animals to working animals to nearly human members of our social fabric, dogs are now the subject of scientific studies concerning pet ownership, evolutionary theory, and even cognitive science. They are also subject to many of the same questions of rights and ethics as people, and the politics of dogs are more tumultuous and public than ever--with fierce moral battles raging over kill shelters, puppy mills, and breed standards. From new insights into what makes dogs so appealing to humans to the health benefits associated with owning a dog, Homans investigates why the human-canine relationship has evolved so rapidly--how dogs moved from the doghouse into our families, our homes, and sometimes even our beds in the span of a generation.--From publisher description.
