Roots are good to think with indeed most of us use them as a metaphor every day. A root can signify the hiddenness of our beginnings, or, in its bifurcating structure, the various possibilities in the life of an individual or a collective. This book looks at rootedness as a metaphor for the genealogical origins of people and their attachment to place and how this metaphor transformed so rapidly in twentieth-century Europe. Christy Wampole s case study is France, with its contradictory legacies of Enlightenment universalism, anti-Semitism, and colonialism. At one time, French nationalist rhetoric portrayed the Jews as unrooted and thus unrighteous people. After the two world wars, the root metaphor figured in the new French philosophy (notably Deleuze and Guattari). And recently, Caribbean thinkers in Haiti, Guadeloupe, and Martinique have debated whether their roots were in Africa, France, the Caribbean, or in some pan-national network that could not be identified on a map. Walpole argues that while the metaphor was perhaps once useful in the establishment of communities and identities, that usefulness has expired. The longer we remain attached to the figure of rootedness, the more discord it sows. Giving up on the metaphor of rootedness, Wampole urges, allows us to see at last that we are in fact unbound by the land we inhabit."

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. Of Words Derived From The Greek Language. In many instances we find words purely Greek in common use amongst us. Cholera is simply the Greek word for disease, and the parent of our word choler. Moustache is the Greek word for the upper lip, ixvo-raZ, mustax. Horizon is the Greek ogi uv, orizon, signifying bounding or terminating the sight. Lichen is the Greek word for tree-moss. Cataract is Greek for rushing down, and in that language signified not only a waterfall, but was the name given to a sea-bird from its rushing down upon its prey. Pliny (book x. ch. 43) describes this bird in such a manner, as to leave no doubt but that it was the Solan goose. Paradox is pure Greek, for anything contrary to received opinion; and paralysis is Greek for loosening of the nerves. Our word garret is by our etymologists derived from the French garite, the tower of a citadel; but it seems to me to be the corruption of the Greek xaqa, kara, the head or top of anything. Canopy is the corruption of the Greek Xwvwsteiov, konopeion, from wu-/, konops, a gnat or mosquito, konopeion with the Greeks signifying a tester of a bed for keeping away gnats. We meet with this word in the 10th chap. of Judith, 21, where the passage is in our versions rendered, "Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy "--the word passed into the Latin language uncorrupted. Horace uses it in his 9th Epode, v. 16, --"Interque Signa turpe militaria Sol aspicit conopeum;" and the sun beheld an infamous canopy spread in the midst of our military standards. The Romans borrowed these tents from the Egyptians, where they were used by the ladies to guard them from the mosquitos which infested the Nile. We have corrupted the word into canopy, and have extended...

While the Arab uprisings have overturned the idea of Arab "exceptionalism," or the acceptance of authoritarianism, better analysis of authoritarianism’s resilience in pre- and post-uprising scenarios is still needed. Modern Middle East Authoritarianism: Roots, Ramifications, and Crisis undertakes this task by addressing not only the mechanisms that allowed Middle Eastern regimes to survive and adapt for decades, but also the obstacles that certain countries face in their current transition to democracy. This volume analyzes the role of ruling elites, Islamists, and others, as well as variables such as bureaucracy, patronage, the strength of security apparatuses, and ideological legitimacy to ascertain regimes’ life expectancies and these factors’ post-uprisings repercussions. Discussing not only the paradigms through which the region has been analyzed, but also providing in-depth case studies of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran, the authors arrive at critical conclusions about dictatorship and possibilities for its transformation. Employing diverse research methods, including interviews, participant observation, and theoretical discussions of authoritarianism and political transition, this book is essential reading for scholars of Middle East Studies, Islamic Studies and those with an interest in the governance and politics of the Middle East.

Root research under natural field conditions is still a step-child of science. The reason for this is primarily methodological. The known methods are tedious, time consuming, and the accuracy of their results is often not very great. Many research workers have been discouraged by doing such root studies. The need for more information on the development and distribution of plant roots in different soils under various ecological conditions is, however, obvious in many ecological disciplines. Especially the applied botanical sciences such as agriculture, horticulture, and forestry are interested in obtaining more data on plant roots in the soil. This book will give a survey of existing methods in ecological root research. Primarily field methods are presented; techniques for pot experiments are described only so far as they are important for solving ecological problems. Laboratory methods for studying root physiology are not covered in this book. Scientific publications on roots are scattered in many different journals published all over the world. By working through the international root literature I found that about ten thousand papers on root ecology have been published at the present. This is not very much compared with the immense literature on the aboveground parts of the plants, but is, however, too much to cite in this book.

""The Crisis of Connection: Roots, Consequences, and Solutions" makes a compelling argument that one of the main problems of the 21st century is the crisis of connection both between and within individuals. The book provides evidence of the crisis and explores its causes and consequences. Eventually, "The Crisis of Connection" suggests possible solutions to the state of disconnection that the world has found itself in, encouraging the readers to pursue common humanity" --
