Capitalism and the Senses is the first edited volume to explore how the forces of capitalism are entangled with everyday sensory experience. Contributors show not only how seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and touching have been commodified but also where the senses have resisted control and the logic of markets.

Richly illustrated with seldom-seen historical photographs, paintings, and drawings, The Brandywine: An Intimate Portrait is the first book to trace the history and culture of the Brandywine Valley from colonial times to today.
