Sinopsis

"The Basket Weavers" explores the comprehensive history of basket weaving, highlighting its evolution from functional necessity to a significant art form across various cultures. The book argues that basket weaving offers a unique perspective on the link between human culture, technology, and the environment. Interestingly, basket weaving predates pottery in many societies, demonstrating its early importance. The book also showcases how different cultures adapted readily available natural resources to suit their regional climates and needs.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental techniques and materials, progressing to specific regional traditions like Native American coiling, East Asian bamboo weaving, and European willow work. Each regional study examines the environmental context, historical development, and cultural significance of basketry. By focusing on the social and economic roles of basket weavers, the book emphasizes how this craft has historically supported communities worldwide and continues to evolve as a contemporary art form.

    Accountability after Economic Crisis reconstructs the captivating story of how different nations responded to the 2008 economic crisis, one of the most challenging economic downturns in modern history. Why did some countries look for explanations of the economic failure and seek to hold those responsible to account, while others looked the other way? If so, were certain methods more effective than others? Is there, in fact, a best way? 
     
     
     
    Iosif Kovras introduces an innovative framework to explain the varied political responses to an economic crisis, pushing the boundaries of traditional analysis by drawing on political economy, comparative politics, public administration, economic history, criminal law, and criminology. He identifies three distinct accountability mechanisms used by leaders: retribution—prosecuting those at fault; truth recovery—establishing commissions of inquiry to reveal the facts; official acknowledgment—issuing formal apologies. Zeroing in on each country in turn, he shows how these mechanisms were employed and with what effect. 
     
     
     
    Featuring original observations from a survey in Iceland and experimental data from a conjoint experiment, Accountability after Economic Crisis provides a thorough and engaging examination of how countries manage accountability in the wake of an economic crisis.

    Comeback - Routing Trumpism...

    The fate of American democracy now hinges on the Democrats' ability to defeat the Republicans for the foreseeable future. But for the Democrats to win consistently, they must reestablish their credentials as fearless leaders, tough fighters, and fierce patriots. 
    Comeback delivers a bold new take on democracy’s crisis. Many liberals think that escalating economic anxieties and cultural backlash drove voters to Trump. But a crush of data shows this thinking to be deeply flawed. It also strikes working-class voters as condescending and repellent. And while the Democrats stick to “kitchen table” issues and showing how much they care, voters care more about strength and commitment to principle than prescription drug prices. 
    Politics is a dominance game and a contest to capture the flag. Politicians who seem to be the strongest leaders and most passionate patriots hold the advantage. The Republicans get it. The Democrats don't. 
    Republicans have a high-dominance political style. They take risks, savor conflict, and use provocative language. Democrats have a low-dominance style. They’re risk-averse, afraid to engage on cultural issues—and more than a little boring. Republicans hammer away at their patriotism, even as they betray the nation and shred American values. Democrats are loyal to American values but have grown squeamish about patriotism and have no national story. 
    Ordinary people often don’t recognize themselves in the stories liberal politicians tell about them, while the authoritarians speak a language of dominance and national greatness that connects. The Democrats need a new approach to messaging. Comeback spells it out—and provides a roadmap for trouncing Trumpism.

    Do You Worry All the Time? 
     
     
     
    Have you tried to control your thoughts and get your worrying under control? Did it work? If it didn't, try this simple exercise: Take thirty seconds, right here and now, and don't think about something you recently worried about. Think about anything and everything else, but don't think about that worry. 
     
     
     
    How did you do? Like most of us, you probably could think of little else except whatever it was you worried about, no matter how hard you tried. This is the problem with trying to control your thoughts: Your attempts to stop worrying very often lead you to repeat and refresh the very worries you're trying to dispel. 
     
     
     
    Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new approach to resolving a wide range of psychological problems, can help you break the cycle of chronic worry. ACT stresses letting go of your attempts to avoid, change, and get rid of worry. Instead, it shows you how to accept your feelings as they occur, without judgment. You'll learn to "de-fuse" from your worries, observing and then letting them go. Then you'll explore and commit to acting on your values, thereby creating a rich life for yourself—even with the occasional worry.

    Colombia's economic transformation has been a complex and dynamic process shaped by historical events, political decisions, and global economic trends. From its early indigenous trade systems to its current standing as one of Latin America's largest economies, Colombia's journey has been marked by periods of growth, crisis, and resilience. Understanding this transformation requires a deep dive into the key factors that have influenced its economy over the centuries. 
    The foundation of Colombia's economy was laid long before Spanish colonization. Indigenous communities engaged in agriculture, trade, and resource management, establishing early economic structures. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century drastically altered the economic landscape. The Spanish introduced a mercantilist system that prioritized resource extraction, particularly gold, and forced indigenous labor into exploitative economic activities. This period also saw the beginnings of agricultural exports, as crops like sugar and tobacco became integral to the colonial economy. 
    Following independence in 1810, Colombia faced significant economic instability. The transition from colonial rule to a sovereign state disrupted established trade networks and led to political fragmentation. Wars of independence had devastated infrastructure and financial systems, leaving the new republic struggling to establish a stable economy. The 19th century saw slow economic progress, with regional economies developing independently and a reliance on agriculture persisting. Coffee emerged as Colombia's most valuable export by the late 19th century, setting the stage for greater economic integration and growth.
