Question 1: How would you counsel a patient on the safety of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)?

Nearly thirty years after the end of the civil war, campesina women continue to remember their revolutionary past. The Survivors’ Historical Memory Committee of Arcatao, Chalatenango, has worked on four major projects: the exhumation of victims killed in military-led massacres, the construction of a sanctuary to house the remains of loved ones, commemorative events, and a community museum led by survivors themselves. These popular historians facilitate intergenerational continuity across decades of struggle. The committee’s work to mourn, exhume, bury, and remember the dead charts a path toward healing, a tenuous process given the ongoing violence in postwar El Salvador. Additionally, I draw insights from two workshops I facilitated in 2015 to trace how committee women understand their revolutionary past. They have a specifically feminist understanding of their insurgent past and highlight the central role of civilian organizing within the guerrilla territories. Campesina women insisted on remembering how their revolutionary organizing created more equitable gender relations and resisted state violence against women, and they critiqued male leftists who ignored their contributions.

If we think of ourselves as the “highest” forms of life, we often think of Bacteria as the “lowest” forms of life. We also think of Bacteria as ancient, “primitive,” and ancestral. As discussed for many other extant branches of the tree of life, these views are misleading. But these views may be especially hard to jettison when thinking of Bacteria – aren’t they more ancestral than we are? But we must always come back to this idea: Bacteria are not our ancestors – they are extant cousins. As will be detailed below, all lineages of organisms descended from the LUCA; the major lineages of life did not descend from Bacteria.

The clade Bacteria includes species that are ecologically essential (e.g., as decomposers that impact the carbon cycle) and that comprise key organisms of our microbiome (e.g., the symbiotic Bacteria normally found on our skin and in our digestive tracts). Bacteria also cause many diseases, including stomach ulcers (Helicobacter pylori), tetanus (Clostridium tetani), and acne (Cutibacterium acnes).

Humanity’s impact on the planet is undeniable. Fairly and effectively addressing environmental problems begins with understanding their causes and impacts. Is over-population the main driver of environmental degradation? Poverty? Capitalism? Poor governance? Imperialism? Patriarchy? Clearly these are not technical questions, but political ones.

Updated to cover new debates, data, and policy, and expanded to include chapters on colonialism, race and gender, and the impacts of energy and resource extraction, this book introduces students to diverse perspectives and helps them develop an informed understanding of why environmental problems occur.

How the international community should act is deeply contested. Guiding students through the potential responses, including multilateral diplomacy, transnational voluntary action, innovative financial mechanisms, problem displacement, consumer-focused campaigns, and resistance, this book explains the different forms of political action, their limitations and injustices.

Online resources include lecture slides, a test bank for instructors, updated weblinks to videos, and suggested readings for students.

From the time that all human deeds began to be handed down through the records of history, and for the memory of posterity, the greatest war known to us was the Marsic, named after the Marsians.1 It surpassed all previous ones in terms of the bravery of its commanders and the size of its accomplishments.2 The Trojan War and the valor of its heroes were dramatically made known by the most distinguished of poets, Homer, so that their reputation is superior.3 There Europe was fighting against Asia and the greatest continents were earnestly striving for victory. Thus the deeds of the combatants brought it about that for successive people the theaters have been filled with their tragic and mythic achievements.

Brian Libgober (Northwestern Political Science) drills down on the well-known but critically important fact that the justice gap particularly afflicts communities of color. Libgober tours new research finding that African Americans face significant barriers in finding lawyers, perhaps because of anticipated decisional bias within the legal system. The result is a bracing reminder that the justice gap is rooted in much wider structures of racial inequality and a profit-oriented legal marketplace that systematically under-serves certain segments of the population. His work shows the urgency – and difficulty – of meaningful reform.
