Sinossi

Geronimo's Story of His Life (Illustrated Edition) is a captivating autobiographical account of the famed Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo, detailing his life and struggles as a Native American leader during the turbulent late 19th century. The book is written in a straightforward and engaging style, offering readers a glimpse into the cultural and historical context of the Native American experience during that period. The illustrated edition adds visual depth to Geronimo's narrative, bringing his story to life in a vivid and immersive way. Geronimo, also known as Goyathlay, was a prominent figure in the Apache Wars and fought against Mexican and American expansion into Apache tribal lands. His firsthand account sheds light on the challenges faced by Native Americans as they fought to preserve their way of life in the face of colonization and oppression. Geronimo's unique perspective offers valuable insights into the complexities of Native American history and the enduring legacy of indigenous resistance. I highly recommend Geronimo's Story of His Life to readers interested in Native American history, autobiography, and cultural studies.

When Science Meets Power - 1st...

Geoff Mulgan

Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change. 
 
 
 
Leading policy analyst Geoff Mulgan here calls attention to the growing frictions caused by the expanding—and unsolicited—authority being heaped upon science. As science increasingly competes with politics, a defined plan of cooperation is urgently needed. 
 
 
 
Mulgan outlines science and politics as two distinct, imperfect forms of collective intelligence. Whereas science is ordered around what we know and what is, politics engages what we feel and what matters. Politics functions because it recognizes the limits of power, the need for delegation and expert advice. The intellectual logic of science, on the other hand, focuses on detail and depth, struggling to place its knowledge in wider contexts. The crux of the matter, Mulgan argues, is how can we ensure that crucial decisions taken in democracies are both well informed and legitimate? 
 
 
 
Rooted in understanding that science and politics are not just fields of ideas but also fields of action, this book proposes ways to ensure that the two work effectively together.
