However, cultural, political, or aesthetic thought tends to remain concerned with the interpretation and actions of those who are awake. How to Sleep argues instead that sleep is a complex vital phenomena with a dynamic aesthetic and biological consistency. Arguing through examples drawn from contemporary, modern and renaissance art; from literature; film and computational media, and bringing these into relation with the history and findings of sleep science, this book argues for a new interplay between biology and culture. Meditations on sex, exhaustion, drugs, hormones and scientific instruments all play their part in this wide-ranging exposition of sleep as an ecology of interacting processes. How to Sleep builds on the interlocking of theory, experience and experiment so that the text itself is a lively articulation of bodies, organs and the aesthetic systems that interact with them. This book won't enhance your sleeping skills, but will give you something surprising to think about whilst being ostensibly awake."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLines (Bloomsbury (Firm)) 606 $aSleep 606 $aSleeping customs 606 $aSubconsciousness 606 $2Philosophy: aesthetics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSleep. 615 0$aSleeping customs. 615 0$aSubconsciousness. 676 $a612.821 700 $aFuller$b Matthew$0475668 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511784403321 996 $aHow to sleep$92553118 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04683nam 22006614a 450 001 9910779958303321 005 20240103013828.0 010 $a1-280-20034-0 010 $a9786610200344 010 $a0-306-47547-2 024 7 $a10.1007/b110045 035 $a(CKB)111056485441830 035 $a(EBL)3035628 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000141516 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11151386 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000141516 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10056725 035 $a(PQKB)10566666 035 $a(DE-He213)978-0-306-47547-4 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3035628 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10052620 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL20034 035 $a(OCoLC)51874863 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3035628 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056485441830 100 $a20020212d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aDroughts, food, and culture$b[electronic resource] $eecological change and food security in Africa's later prehistory /$fedited by Fekri A.

The issues do not just concern the plight of African peoples, but also our global ecological future. Global climatic changes become manifest initially in regions that are marginal or unstable. Africa's Sahel zone is one of the most sensitive climatic regions in the world and the events that have gripped that region beginning in the 1970's were the first indicator of a significant shift in global climatic conditions. This work aims to bring archaeology with the domain on contemporary human affairs and to forge a new methodology for coping with environmental problems from an archaeological perspective. Using the later prehistory of Africa as a comparison, the utility of this methodological strategy in interpreting culture change and assessing long-term response to current, global climatic fluctuations is examined and understood. 606 $aPrehistoric peoples$xFood$zAfrica 606 $aAgriculture, Prehistoric$zAfrica 606 $aClimatic changes$zAfrica 606 $aPaleoclimatology$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xAntiquities 615 0$aPrehistoric peoples$xFood 615 0$aAgriculture, Prehistoric 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aPaleoclimatology 676 $a960/.1 701 $aHassan$b Fekri A.$f1943-$0487273 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779958303321 996 $aDroughts, food, and culture$93773336 997 $aUNINA
