In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Bombay was beset by crises such as famine and plague. Yet, rather than halting the flow of capital, these crises served to secure it. In colonial Bombay, capitalists and governors, Indian and British alike, used moments of crisis to justify interventions that delimited the city as a distinct object and progressively excluded laborers and migrants from it.

Über Jahrtausende galt die Natur als etwas Organisches, Heiliges. Nach naturwissenschaftlicher Revolution und Aufklärung aber begriff sie der Mensch nur noch als eine Produktions- und Reproduktionsmaschine, die ihm zu dienen habe – vor allem jedoch dem Mann. Denn mit der Abwertung der Natur ging die Abwertung der Frau als naturverhaftet und irrational einher.

"Specialise!" is the advice often given by career advisers, school teachers and the like. David Epstein takes the opposite position: In an ever more specialised, highly complex world, it pays to have good old-fashioned broad common knowledge in as many areas as you take interest in, both in terms of intellectual curiosity and professional success. To have a decent grasp of various aspects of life means to be able to discern the links between them, thus developing a better understanding of how our world works and what drives events as they unfold.
