Sinopsis

Elias Johnson's "History of the Iroquois & Tuscarora Indians" is a meticulously researched narrative that delves into the rich cultural heritage and complex history of two prominent Indigenous tribes in North America. Johnson employs a blend of historical analysis and ethnographic detail, using primary sources and oral traditions to create an engaging account that illuminates the societal structures, customs, and conflicts that shaped the Iroquois and Tuscarora peoples. As a work situated in the broader context of Indigenous history, it deftly critiques colonial narratives while providing a nuanced perspective on the resilience and agency of these tribes. Elias Johnson, a descendant of Iroquois ancestry and an advocate for Indigenous rights, leverages his heritage and scholarly expertise to produce this significant contribution to the field of Native American studies. His unique insights are informed by a lifetime of engagement with Iroquois culture and the historical injustices faced by Indigenous peoples, motivating him to preserve and illuminate their stories within a broader historical framework. This book is highly recommended for historians, anthropologists, and anyone interested in understanding the profound impact of colonialism on Native American societies. Johnson's compelling prose and thorough research make it an indispensable resource for appreciating the resilience and historical significance of the Iroquois and Tuscarora Indians.

    Increasing irrigation efficiency has been high on the political agenda in Spain for many years. However, the overarching aim to reduce agricultural water consumption has not been met so far. To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.

    Simplicity comes into being when there is freedom from the desire to achieve 
    • One who is sincere can never be simple because he who is trying to be sincere always has the desire to pattern or approximate himself to an idea. 
    • Self-knowledge can be discovered more fully, deeply, widely, only when there is passive awareness, which is not the exertion of will. 
    • In the search for self-knowledge we get caught in self-consciousness. Being caught we make the thing in which one is caught the most important thing. 
    • To go beyond self-consciousness there must be freedom from the desire to achieve a result, because the achievement of a result is what the mind wants. 
    • Q: Would you please explain what you mean by dying daily? 
    • Q: How does a truth when repeated become a lie? What really is a lie? 
    • Q: I think I can help, but whatever I say or do to another is interpreted as interference and as domineering. Why does this happen to me? 
    • Q: What is aloneness? Is it a mystical state?

    A lively, accessible, and timely guide to Marxist economics for those who want to understand and dismantle the world of the 1%. 
     
     
     
    Economists regularly promote Capitalism as the greatest system ever to grace the planet. With the same breath, they implore us to leave the job of understanding the magical powers of the market to the "experts." 
     
     
     
    Despite the efforts of these mainstream commentators to convince us otherwise, many of us have begun to question why this system has produced such vast inequality and wanton disregard for its own environmental destruction. This book offers answers to exactly these questions on their own terms: in the form of a radical economic theory.
