Beschreibung

"Canoe Carving Craft" explores the deep connection between river communities and their environment through the art of canoe building. More than just a means of transportation, canoe carving embodies cultural resilience, ecological knowledge, and community identity, acting as a living archive of a people's history and relationship with nature.

The book reveals intriguing facts, such as how the designs of canoes reflect a community's intimate understanding of local waterways and how the choice of materials showcases sustainable harvesting practices passed down through generations.

The book progresses through different aspects of canoe carving, starting with an introduction to various canoe styles and communities, then moving into material sourcing, construction techniques, and the cultural and spiritual significance of canoes. It uniquely combines detailed technical descriptions with in-depth analyses of the craft's cultural and ecological importance. This approach allows readers to understand not only how canoes are made but also why they are vital to the identity and survival of river families.

Through ethnographic research, oral histories, and firsthand observations, "Canoe Carving Craft" presents a nuanced portrayal of canoe-building traditions. It avoids romanticizing the craft, instead providing a realistic view of the challenges and opportunities faced by river communities in preserving their cultural heritage. This makes the book valuable for craft enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone interested in learning about sustainable practices and indigenous crafts.

Soldier of Destiny - Slavery...

John Reeves

Captain Ulysses S. Grant rose to become general-in-chief of the United States Army in 1864. Was it destiny? Or was he just an ordinary man, opportunistically benefiting from the turmoil of the Civil War to advance to the highest military rank? 
 
 
 
Soldier of Destiny reveals that Grant always possessed the latent abilities of a skilled commander—and he was able to develop these skills out West without the overwhelming pressure faced by more senior commanders in the Eastern theater at the beginning of the Civil War. 
 
 
 
From 1861 to 1864, Grant went from being ambivalent about slavery to becoming one of the leading individuals responsible for emancipating the slaves. Soldier of Destiny tells the story of Grant's connection to slavery in far more detail than in previous biographies. 
 
 
 
Grant's life story is a tale of redemption within the context of his fraught relationships with his antislavery father and his slaveholding wife. This narrative explores the poverty, inequality, and extraordinary vitality of the American West during a crucial time in our nation's history. Writers on Grant have tended to overlook his St. Louis years, even though they are essential for understanding his later triumphs.

The Shadow of Evil - The Ethical...

Davis Truman

The Nazi regime of Germany during World War II is known for its atrocities, including the systematic persecution and extermination of millions of Jews and other minorities. However, the unethical medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners are less widely known, which were rooted in the ideology of Darwinism and racial purification. These experiments involved subjecting prisoners to brutal and often deadly procedures in the name of scientific advancement and the supposed improvement of the Aryan race. The ethical implications of these experiments and how pseudoscientific theories of racial superiority justified them continue to raise important questions about the role of science and medicine in society and the need for ethical guidelines and oversight in research. This paper explores the ethical dilemmas presented by the Nazi medical experiments, the relationship between Darwinism and racial purification, and the ongoing implications of these issues for contemporary society.
