Sinopse

"Ancient Stone Tools" explores how early humans crafted stone tools, revealing insights into prehistoric innovation and adaptation. By studying lithic technology, we uncover how these tools shaped early human societies and their environment. 

 
Intriguingly, the geographical distribution of different stone tool types helps trace ancient migration patterns and cultural exchanges. Understanding the nuances of stone tool analysis allows researchers to reconstruct past human activities, from hunting to woodworking. 

 
The book examines the technological processes behind tool production, functional analysis of tool use, and the distribution of tool-making traditions. It progresses from fundamental principles of lithic analysis, such as raw material identification and knapping techniques, to examining stone tool technology developments across different regions and time periods. 

 
Case studies from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas highlight each region’s unique lithic industries. By integrating excavation records, experimental archaeology, and GIS mapping, "Ancient Stone Tools" offers a comprehensive overview of the field. 

 
This study emphasizes the evolution of stone tool technologies as a reflection of the increasing complexity of human societies and their environment, providing an up-to-date and accessible synthesis of current knowledge for students, researchers, and anyone interested in human origins and prehistoric cultures.

Into the Darkness a Journey into...

Darren Smith

"One of the best new Schizophrenia books" - BookAuthority 
★★★★★ Readers' Favorite Book Review. 
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a schizophrenic?Beautifully written with raw and candid reflections on the harrowing reality of living with severe schizophrenia, Into the Darkness invites you to join author Darren Smith as he reveals the heart-wrenching reality of being unable to tell real life from psychosis. 
In this intimate tell-all memoir, Darren takes readers on an unparalleled journey into his disorder, shining a light on the confusion, delusional thoughts, tormenting voices, and persistent paranoia that defined decades of his life—from his troubled childhood when he experienced his very first delusion to struggling to survive as an adult in a frightening world. 
And as his grip on reality grows increasingly fragile, Darren recounts the self-destructive coping mechanisms that pushed him deeper down the rabbit hole and towards the dreadful nightmare realm of a full-fledged schizophrenic break. 
But amid the darkness of adolescent bullying, a painful parental divorce, and an adulthood filled with unrelenting hallucinations, Darren reveals how he fought a years-long battle and triumphed over insurmountable challenges, unlocking a wellspring of hope that helped him achieve victory over his inner demons and grow into the person he is today. 
As a must-read for fellow sufferers of schizophrenia, as well as for therapists and mental health professionals, Into the Darkness is equal parts shocking and illuminating. This book draws you into not only Darren’s life, but also the lives of the friends and family who stuck with him, giving readers a unique and thought-provoking inside view of this multifaceted condition.

Fusion Strategy - How Real-Time...

Venkat raman, Vijay Govindarajan

Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can collect real-time data from billions of users. For companies that design and manufacture physical products, that type of fluid, data-rich information used to be a pipe dream. Now, with the rise of cheap and powerful sensors, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence, things are changing—fast. 
 
 
 
In Fusion Strategy, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan and digital strategy expert Venkat Venkataraman offer a first-of-its-kind playbook that will help industrial companies combine what they do best—create physical products—with what digitals do best—use algorithms and AI to parse expansive, interconnected datasets—to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible. 
 
 
 
The laws of competitive advantage are changing, rewarding those who have the most robust, data-driven insights rather than the most valuable assets. To compete in the new digital age, companies need to use real-time data to turbocharge their products, strategies, and customer relationships. Those that don't risk falling on the wrong side of the next great digital divide. 
 
 
 
Fusion Strategy is the way forward.

Green

Suzannah Evans

'My mother was an oak treemy dad a garage mechanicMy father was a field of wheatmy mother the Prime MinisterMy mother was an innkeeperand my father a lonely cactus…'
Suzannah Evans' new pamphlet introduces us to Green, half human, half angry nature spirit. Green serves as a stunt double for our own rage and complicity in nature's destruction. He shows us nature's delights so we may mourn their loss more deeply.
'In this delicious mini-biography of the mythic figure, Suzannah Evans has conjured up a Green Man – now modishly monikered 'Green' – who is witness, listener, accountant, cheerleader, of all and every aspect of nature. An inveterate listicle maker, he can't help but nag us until our attention is drawn back inexorably to the wonder of the world; it's nightmares too. Whether he is supervising extinctions, lavender farming, or picking up plastic litter on the beach, Green is unabashedly a fun, wry and playful personality to spend some time with.' Rishi Dastidar
'Green is a contemporary secular canticle, where matter and living beings are in mischievous, polyphonic dialogue. Channelled through this beyond-human figure, it presents a decentred ecology where "Green isn't rooting for anyone" – but where we must find a way to befriend 'him', without turning him into a 'man'. Earth is lively and re-enchanted, in Green's contemporary and accessible animism. We are invited to accept the majesty of llama memes alongside the 'death drop' of species extinction. Fuck you, Green says to the wasps, stinging him all over, I still love you. A gentle, passionate, good-natured plea, for even the stickiest, ickiest, grossest creatures to be named in Green's – and humanity's – affections.' Caleb Parkin
