A lively investigation of the intimate connections we maintain with the things we toss away It's hard to think of trash as anything but a growing menace. Our communities face crises over what to do with the mountains of rubbish we produce, the enormous amount of biological waste generated by humans and animals, and the truckloads of electronic equipment judged to be obsolete. All this effluvia poses widespread problems for human health, the well-being of the planet, and the quality of our lives. But though our notorious habits of disposal have put us well on the way to making the earth inhospitable to life, our relation to rejectamenta includes much more than shedding and tossing. In Trash Talks, philosopher Elizabeth V. Spelman explores the extent to which we rely on trash and waste to make sense of our lives. Examples are rich: We use people's rubbish to gain information about them. We trumpet wastefulness as a means of signaling social status. We take the occupation of handling trash and garbage as revelatory of possible moral or spiritual shortcomings. We are intrigued by or in distress over the idea that evolution is a prodigiously wasteful process and that it is to the dustbin that each of us, and our species, shall ultimately repair. In the heaps of our trash, some see consequences of dissatisfaction, while others find confirmation of a flourishing consumer economy. While we may want to shove debris and detritus out of sight, many of our most impassioned projects involve keeping these objects resolutely in mind. Trash talks, and there is much of which it speaks.

You picked up this book because there is someone in your life who talks a lot of trash.

Her little comments, suggestions, and gestures get under your skin. You heard it. You know you heard it. It felt like a jab, a crack, a shot, but you can't put your finger on it. When he talks to you, you feel attacked, shamed, uncomfortable, or a little bit smaller. This book will help you spot the trash talk, and even better, this book will help you understand the trash talker. I hope you picked up this book because you are the trash talker in your life. In the wrong hands this book is a weapon. As you read through the chapters, you will recognize people you know. This is not an invitation to attack, judge, or shame people because of their trash talk. This book isn't ammunition. It's information.Use this information to understand other people. Use this information to understand you. This is a book for people who are ready to look at themselves and get to know themselves. I'm glad you're one of those people.When I was a kid, I (and lots of other people) used to believe "Here is what I am. Take it or leave it." I thought the way I spoke to people was a natural part of who I was, and if people didn't like it, they could buzz off. As I got a little older, I learned that how I talked, especially to others, wasn't always serving me well. There was too much conflict in my life, and that made my life harder.Who needs that? At our core, we're all lovers, not fighters. I was tired of fighting. I realized there had to be a way to be true to myself without causing unnecessary trouble. There are times to be loud and get in people's faces. There's more on that in this book. But as a general rule, it's best not to get other people fired up when it isn't necessary. If I wanted better relationships with people, I knew I would have to change the way I spoke to them. This is NOT the same as changing me or who I am. You don't have to change who you are.If there is too much conflict in your life, all you need to do is change your speech strategy. When I spoke, sometimes people felt attacked, shamed, uncomfortable, or a little bit smaller. Now I want to make people feel empowered, confident, loved, and a little bit bigger. That is what effective people do. I want to be an effective person. I'm sure you do too.Now that you're ready, let's go. That's right. You.

“You’re mad at me, but I am killing you.”—NBA star Gary Payton “Find the hate.”—NFL star Warren Sapp “Why can’t you be more like Rafi Kohan?”—your mom, probably Whether in basketball, football, or MMA, athletes talk trash to each other—and sometimes to fans—like it’s their job. And in some ways, it is: sports only matter if we decide to care about them. And insulting your opponent, or playing the heel, is probably the fastest route to making someone care. Talking smack is as old as the bible; it’s perhaps the original sport. But until now, there’s never been a book about it. In this lively, often hilarious history, Rafi Kohan interviews some of the world’s top competitors—on the petty rivalries and mind games that fuel them. He talks to point guards and soccer strikers, cricketers and insult comedians, forming a theory along the way about the surprising and influential role that name-calling plays in our world. Brilliantly original and wide-ranging, Trash Talk is a book for sports fans, culture mavens, or anyone looking to get an edge.

When the Clash of Two Cultures Turns into a Hilarious Lovefest . . . Football, baseball, basketball, hockey—pro athletes revolt! Too many fights, too many problems, lousy image! The commissioners are fed up and players are angry at mandated, educational seminar attendance! But that's what happened, and the commissioners aren't backing down. All pro athletes have to attend a course or seminar unrelated to sports every year. It looks like dark days for the athletes until one of them sees an ad for the upcoming S.E.S. Trash Talk symposium. How perfect is that? None of the athletes knew, or even cared, what S.E.S. was, but trash talk was their specialty. Word of the meeting spread among the athletes like wildfire. They could not apply fast enough. The annual Environmentalist Society Meeting, hosted by the Sarasota Environmentalist Society (S.E.S.), will be a surprise of a lifetime when the world of professional athletes collides with the world of professional environmentalists in an explosion of laughter. What happens next is worth the price of admission! Perfect for Fans of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey
