This important new work by Roy Wagner is about the autonomy of symbols and their role in creating culture. Its argument, anticipated in the author's previous book, The Invention of Culture, is at once symbolic, philosophical, and evolutionary: meaning is a form of perception to which human beings are physically and mentally adapted. Using examples from his many years of research among the Daribi people of New Guinea as well as from Western culture, Wagner approaches the question of the creation of meaning by examining the nonreferential qualities of symbols—such as their aesthetic and formal properties—that enable symbols to stand for themselves.

The book was born from a discovery made after the purchase of a 100+ year old farmhouse. Within the home we found an old, dented, metal box with sliding drawers. To our delight, it was filled with old recipes from the original 3 generations of owners. The book is 120 pages of recipes, interesting and/or humorous stories, along with over 200 epic photos of hunting, fishing, family, and farm. Many of the recipes are for wild game and fish. The recipe creators hunted, fished, farmed, or gathered most of their food from their land. The book's flavor contains ingredients of a bygone era. It is a book that people who appreciate the outdoors, farming, fishing, hunting, and cooking unique dishes should find very interesting. The stories are true and from the heart. The book is a tribute to a remarkable family.

Warning: This novel contains excessive humor, action, excitement, adventure, magic, romance, and bodies. Proceed with caution. Fetching a cat out of a tree should’ve been a quick, easy fifty bucks in Kanika’s pocket. Instead, following one stray thought, the devil pays her a visit and leaves her with a debt to repay. Owing the devil a favor is bad enough, but her life is turned upside down when it’s time to pay the piper. First, she doesn’t want the world’s sexiest firefighting, kitten-rescuing Scot as an unwilling companion. Since that wasn’t bad enough, she doesn’t know who wants him dead or why, but there’s no way in hell she’s going to let someone mar his perfection. Add in the fact the devil wants an heir, and there’s only one thing she knows for certain: she’s in for one hell of a job.
