The letters are published chronologically. In 1880, Darwin published On The Power of Movement in Plants, and began writing his final book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms. He was engaged in controversy with Samuel Butler, following publication of his last book, Erasmus Darwin. At the end of the year, he succeeded in raising support for a Civil List pension for Alfred Russel Wallace, co-discoverer of the theory of natural selection.

The Context of Logocentrism in Derrida's Thought
Free Download Roland Theuas DS. Pada, "The Context of Logocentrism in Derrida's Thought"
English | ISBN: 152752504X | 2023 | 110 pages | PDF | 731 KB
This collection of essays explores Derrida's critique of logocentrism, from the problem of prioritising speech over writing to the fundamental assumptions of the metaphysics of presence. While Derrida is often portrayed as a staunch critic of logocentrism in his reading of philosophical texts, the central premise here is that Derrida was implicitly affirming the necessity of logocentrism in his works. As such, this book explores this implicit affirmation of logocentrism as a relatively stable foundation for meaning that can be revised, altered, and appropriated to give way to new possibilities of meaning, while operating within the context of the axioms of logocentrism.

English | ISBN: 0739188372 | 2016 | 168 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
The Complexity and Progression of Black Representation in Film and Television examines the intricacies of race, representation, Black masculinity, sexuality, class, and color in American cinema and television. Black images on the silver screen date back to the silent film era, yet these films and television programs presented disturbing images of African American culture, and regrettably, many early films and small screen programs portrayed Black characters in demeaning and stereotypical roles. In order to fully analyze the roles of Black actors and actresses in film and television, Moody addresses the following issues: the historical significance of the term "race films"; female Black identities and constructs; queerness and Black masculinity; Black male identities; and Black buffoonery in film and television.
