Sinossi

Knowledge Transmission explores the diverse methods societies have used to preserve and share knowledge across generations. From ancient oral traditions to the advent of written texts and early printed books, the book examines how these approaches shaped intellectual history, education, and cultural values.

 
One intriguing fact is the use of sophisticated mnemonic techniques in pre-literate societies, enabling the reliable transmission of complex information through stories, songs, and rituals. Another is the transformative impact of writing on knowledge preservation, leading to the creation of libraries and archives that fostered scholarly exchange.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes how knowledge transmission methods have not only determined what survives but also fundamentally shaped how societies think and innovate. It progresses through three major sections, starting with an analysis of oral traditions and moving to the rise of scrolls and written texts, before concluding with the evolution of printed books.

 
By drawing from archaeological findings, ancient texts, and historical accounts, Knowledge Transmission offers a comprehensive overview suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the history of knowledge.

The Scheme - How the Right Wing...

Jennifer Meller, Senator Sheldon...

Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
 
 
 
Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
 
 
 
Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
