Sinopse

Primitive Tool Making explores the ingenuity behind the creation of early tools, revealing the engineering principles employed by our ancestors from the Paleolithic era through pre-industrial societies. By examining archaeological findings and experimental archaeology, the book uncovers how early humans mastered material selection, construction techniques, and the mechanics of simple tools like levers and wedges to effectively apply force. It delves into how different cultures adapted their tool-making practices to their environments, highlighting the remarkable cognitive abilities that underpinned these innovations. The book uniquely combines archaeological evidence with principles of mechanical engineering and material science to explain the underlying science of these tools. It begins with fundamental concepts of material science and mechanics, progressing through specific tool types categorized by function, such as cutting or scraping. Each section explores materials, construction techniques, and mechanical principles, culminating in a broader perspective on the evolution of tool technology and its impact on human societies. This approach makes Primitive Tool Making valuable for those interested in archaeology, anthropology, and even survival skills, connecting ancient knowledge to modern contexts.

    In this searing, honest memoir, a Black queer emergency-room nurse works the front lines of care during COVID-19. 
     
     
     
    Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. 
     
     
     
    Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived. 
     
     
     
    Whether it is giving one's own clothes to a homeless patient, sticking up for patients of color in the face of indifference from white doctors and nurses, or nursing one's own back pain accrued from transporting too many bodies, Journal of a Black Queer Nurse reveals the ways in which care is much more than treating a physical body and how the commitment to real care—care that involves listening to and understanding patients in a deeper sense—demands nurses, especially nurses of color, must also be warriors.
