Sinopse

"Bucket Carries Water" reveals the surprising history of the humble bucket and its profound influence on civilization. More than a simple container, the bucket played a crucial role in ancient water management, resource extraction, and the evolution of pre-industrial technology. Imagine early civilizations ingeniously using buckets in wells or picture their impact on ancient mining or irrigation systems. The book argues that this seemingly simple tool spurred innovation in engineering, facilitated essential infrastructure, and improved resource accessibility.

 
The book's journey begins with the earliest known buckets found in ancient well systems. It then progresses through advancements in bucket design during the medieval and early modern periods, focusing on mining and agriculture. Finally, it culminates with the bucket's integration into complex machinery during the industrial revolution, highlighting its contribution to pumping and lifting technologies.

 
Through archaeological findings, historical texts, and engineering schematics, the book offers a narrative that connects technological evolution with social and economic development. This perspective encourages a critical examination of the bucket's influence on technological advancement and its interconnectedness with society.

    Why do populists come to power? Are they a threat to democracy? Has the rise of global populism reached its peak, or is it just beginning? This book provides answers to these questions and many more, by summarizing in non-technical language the vast research literature on populism that extends across political science, economics, sociology, psychology, and history. Going well beyond the usual cases of Trump and Brexit, Paul D. Kenny provides evidence both of the recurrent global appeal of populism, and of its often deleterious consequences.Populism: What Everyone Needs to Know® advances a new approach to defining populism that helps to make sense of the most robust research findings to date, and that sets up an exciting and dynamic approach in research for the years to come. Populism is, at heart, a political movement that challenges the institutional status quo. The great paradox of populism is that while people are often justifiably resentful of a system they feel is rigged against them, their reliance on charismatic leaders to channel their frustrations usually harms rather than helps democracy.

    Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
    A former officer grapples with the reality of our broken police culture
    Our society has long been stuck in cultural and ideological battles about police brutality and the police force's broken relationship with our communities. Rethinking the Police promises to start a more hopeful conversation.
    Daniel Reinhardt spent twenty-four years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself.
    In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality. But Reinhardt doesn't stop there: he offers a new model of policing based not in dominance and control but in a culture of servant leadership, with concrete suggestions for procedural justice and community policing.
