Peace Sean Ali Mourning the death of loved ones and recovering from their loss are universal human experiences, yet the grieving process is as different between cultures as it is among individuals. As late as the 1960s, the Wari\' Indians of the western Amazonian rainforest ate the roasted flesh of their dead as an expression of compassion for the deceased and for his or her close relatives. By removing and transforming the corpse, which embodied ties between the living and the dead and was a focus of grief for the family of the deceased, Wari\' death rites helped the bereaved kin accept their loss and go on with their lives.Drawing on the recollections of Wari\' elders who participated in consuming the dead, this book presents one of the richest, most authoritative ethnographic accounts of funerary cannibalism ever recorded. Beth Conklin explores Wari\' conceptions of person, body, and spirit, as well as indigenous understandings of memory and emotion, to explain why the Wari\' felt that corpses must be destroyed and why they preferred cannibalism over cremation. Her findings challenge many commonly held beliefs about cannibalism and show why, in Wari\' terms, it was considered the most honorable and compassionate way of treating the dead. What are you drawn to like, to watch, or even to binge? What are you free to consume, and what do you become through consumption? These questions of desire and value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are questions for the study of religion. In eleven essays exploring soap and office cubicles, Britney Spears and the Kardashians, corporate culture and Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual levers of religion in thinking about social modes of encounter, use, and longing. Wherever we see people articulate their dreams of and for the world, wherever we see those dreams organized into protocols, images, manuals, and contracts, we glimpse what the word “religion” allows us to describe and understand. With great style and analytical acumen, Lofton offers the ultimate guide to religion and consumption in our capitalizing times.   A little-known yet critical part ofNASA historyLife in Space explores the many aspects andoutcomes of NASA\'s research in life sciences, a little-understood endeavor thathas often been overlooked in histories of the space agency. Maura Mackowskidetails NASA\'s work in this field from spectacular promises made during theReagan era to the major new directions set by George W. Bush\'s Vision for SpaceExploration in the early twenty-first century.At thefirst flight of NASA\'s space shuttle in 1981, hopes ran high for the shuttleprogram to achieve its potential of regularly transporting humans, cargo, andscientific experiments between Earth and the International Space Station.Mackowski describes different programs, projects, and policies initiated acrossNASA centers and headquarters in the following decades to advance research intohuman safety and habitation, plant and animal biology, and commercialbiomaterials. Mackowski illuminates these ventures in fascinating detail bydrawing on rare archival sources, oral histories, interviews, and site visits.Whilehighlighting significant achievements and innovations such as space radiationresearch and the Neurolab Spacelab Mission, Mackowski reveals frustrations--lostopportunities, stagnation, and dead ends--stemming from frequent changes inpresidential administrations and policies. For today\'s dreams of lunar outpostsor long-term spaceflight to become reality, Mackowski argues, a robust programin space life sciences is essential, and the history in this book offerslessons to help prevent leaving more expectations unfulfilled. Drawing on case studies from around the world, a trans-national perspective allows the authors to look at the genealogy of the modern consumer and the development of consumer cultures, from the porcelain trade and consumption in Britain and China in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to post Second World War developments in America and Japan, and the contemporary consumer politics of cosmopolitan citizenship.
