Sinopsis

Shore Speech Lives delves into the crucial intersection of technology and language revitalization, using the Tlingit language as a case study. Facing endangerment due to historical assimilation, the Tlingit language's survival hinges on innovative approaches. The book highlights how digital tools like language learning apps and online dictionaries can empower communities to reclaim their linguistic heritage. One intriguing fact is that language revitalization is not just about grammar, it's about preserving the unique worldview encoded within a language.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the Tlingit language and the history of its endangerment. It then explores the development and impact of specific technological tools. Shore Speech Lives emphasizes that technology alone isn't a panacea; human interaction and community ownership are vital. The book shares transcribed interviews and linguistic analysis, offering insights into the successes and challenges of using technology for language preservation. For example, it acknowledges the controversy surrounding cultural appropriation and language policy.

 
Ultimately, this study provides a framework for culturally responsive language revitalization programs. It offers guidance on selecting technologies and fostering community engagement. While focused on the Tlingit community, the book's lessons about language preservation resonate with other endangered languages globally, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in language learning, technology, or cultural preservation.

    Using the lens of ecopsychology, Returning the Self to Nature shows that the pervasive and extreme forms of narcissism we find in many modern societies are fundamentally the result of alienation from the natural world. But it doesn't have to be that way. 
     
     
     
    Returning the Self to Nature is written for the person who no longer wishes to function in a world that revolves around selfish, disconnected identity models and yearns to step into healthy relationships with one's self, one's community, and our planet. 
     
     
       
    Seeing the suffering of the planet and that of humans as inseparably linked—the ecological crisis as psychological crisis, and vice versa—opens the door to a mutuality of healing between people and nature. At the heart of both chronic and acute forms of narcissism is a socially constructed false self. 
     
      
     
    Through unflinching analysis and meditation practices that encourage visualizing and embodying the wild naturalness of being human, the listener will gain skills to begin experiencing a courageous, pluralistic, and ecological self. This book is an invitation to wake up from the dream of the false self and join the movement toward social and planetary healing.

    It had taken about 40 years for Chicago to grow from a small settlement of about 300 people into a thriving metropolis with a population of 300,000, but in just two days in 1871, much of that progress was burned to the ground. In arguably the most famous fire in American history, a blaze in the southwestern section of Chicago began to burn out of control on the night of October 8, 1871.  
    In 2005, the world watched in horror as Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans, and the calamity seemed all the worse because many felt that technology had advanced far enough to prevent such tragedies, whether through advanced warning or engineering. However, the failure of human engineering like that seen in New Orleans was nothing new, and it had previously had even deadlier consequences in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Although floods rarely get as much coverage as other kinds of natural disasters like volcanic explosions, the Johnstown Flood of 1889 has remained an exception due to the sheer destruction and magnitude of the disaster.  
    As bad as Hurricane Katrina was, the hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900 killed several times more people, with an estimated death toll between 6,000-12,000 people. Prior to advanced communications, few people knew about impending hurricanes except those closest to the site, and in the days before television, or even radio, catastrophic descriptions were merely recorded on paper, limiting an understanding of the immediate impact.   
    	On April 18, 1906, most of the residents of the city of San Francisco were sound asleep when the ground started to shake around 5:15 a.m., but what started as fairly soft tremors turned into a violent shaking in all directions. The earthquake lasted about a minute, but it had enough destructive force to divert the course of entire rivers and level much of the 9th largest city in America at the time.

    Will artificial intelligence improve the way we work and live, or will it alienate us? The choice is ours. What will we decide? 
     
     
     
    It's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with Twitter bots and fake news. Companies are using AI to hire us—or not. 
     
     
     
    This is just the beginning. As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. 
     
     
      
    Are you ready? 
     
     
     
    In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us. To do so, we'll need to double down on what makes us so special—our curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence—while relying on the lost virtues of empathy, humility, and self-control. 
     
     
      
    Filled with big-think fascinations and practical wisdom, I, Human is the book we need to thrive in the future.
