Summary

Indigenous Science Today explores the integration of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) with Western science, arguing that this collaboration is vital for addressing complex global challenges. The book highlights the philosophical differences and practical applications of both systems, advocating for a synergistic relationship that respects cultural knowledge and promotes sustainable solutions. It emphasizes that IKS is holistic, place-based, and intergenerational, contrasting with the often reductionist approach of Western science. This integrated knowledge can be applied to environmental conservation and healthcare, offering innovative approaches that are both scientifically sound and culturally appropriate. 

 
The book examines the historical context, including the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities and the marginalization of IKS. It delves into ethical considerations such as intellectual property rights and the importance of collaborative research. Case studies illustrate successful partnerships between indigenous communities and scientists, showcasing the potential for integrating IKS into ecosystem management, traditional medicine, and climate change adaptation. 

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of indigenous knowledge to practical applications and ethical challenges, concluding with recommendations for fostering respectful partnerships.

    Good Grief - On Loving Pets Here...

    An unexpected, poignant, and personal account of loving and losing pets, exploring the singular bonds we have with our companion animals, and how to grieve them once they’ve passed. 
E.B. Bartels has had a lot of pets—dogs, birds, fish, tortoises. As varied a bunch as they are, they’ve taught her one universal truth: to own a pet is to love a pet, and to own a pet is also—with rare exception—to lose that pet in time. 
But while we have codified traditions to mark the passing of our fellow humans, most cultures don’t have the same for pets. Bartels takes us from Massachusetts to Japan, from ancient Egypt to the modern era, in search of the good pet death. We meet veterinarians, archaeologists, ministers, and more, offering an idiosyncratic, inspiring array of rituals—from the traditional (scattering ashes, commissioning a portrait), to the grand (funereal processions, mausoleums), to the unexpected (taxidermy, cloning). The central lesson: there is no best practice when it comes to mourning your pet, except to care for them in death as you did in life, and find the space to participate in their end as fully as you can. 
Punctuated by wry, bighearted accounts of Bartels’s own pets and their deaths, Good Grief is a cathartic companion through loving and losing our animal family. 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    “As a creature of American fiction, the successful business executive is often not a pleasant person. Sacrificing friends, family, love, and principles in his lust for success, he is depicted as outwardly brutal, inwardly empty, having killed off even his capacity for joy. Rich, powerful, alone at the top. 
“On the other hand, there is David Jones.” —Louisville Courier-Journal columnist John Ed Pearce
