Sinopse

Jungle Tech Blossoms explores the surprising ways forest tribes around the world are using mobile technology. It argues that mobile phones, often seen as homogenizing forces, can actually empower indigenous communities. The book highlights how these technologies facilitate economic empowerment through direct trade and support cultural preservation by enabling the documentation and dissemination of traditions. For example, mobile banking allows tribes to bypass intermediaries, leading to fairer prices for their goods. The book uniquely emphasizes the agency of these communities, showcasing how they adapt and repurpose technology to their specific needs.

 
Moving from access and affordability to economic and cultural impacts, the book uses case studies from the Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa. It examines how mobile technology helps preserve languages and oral histories, while also addressing challenges like misinformation and the digital divide.

 
Ultimately, Jungle Tech Blossoms provides a nuanced perspective on technology's role in marginalized communities. By blending ethnographic fieldwork and statistical analysis, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, technology companies, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, social justice, and the future of tribal communities.

Woman’s Equality - The Capacity...

Jean Robert Revolus

The decision to write this book was driven by a dual compulsion that compelled me in two directions. The process of the work I worked through to create an environment in which women were being held to ransom made me realize that I needed to examine what was wrong with women in our society and what we were doing wrong to create what everyone was doing right. Initially, I wished to analyze both sexes' psychology from an empathetic interpretation and from a psychological perspective. This experience helped me gain a deeper understanding of the roots of the problems facing women today. Additionally, I have gained a better understanding of the role men can play in certain situations when dealing with these issues by providing them with support and mediation.
I believe that men and women are inextricably linked and forever entangled in a tussle, and neither one can survive alone without the other. During the first human settlements, the purpose of this book was to examine the role played by women in the early history of human settlements. It was to explain how they were portrayed during that time and to explore how they were deprived of the right to equal rights. This is why I have highlighted the importance of women, their emotional strength, their role in society, and how they make a valuable contribution to society at large. For these reasons, I have stressed the importance of women in society. Women make a significant contribution to our environment. If we refuse to acknowledge that contribution in ourselves, we will not be able to witness the progress we demand in our society at the pace we desire.

Fans Have More Friends

David Sikorjak, Ben Valenta,...

In Fans Have More Friends, sports fans, dads, and data analysts David Sikorjak and Ben Valenta argue that fandom can not only increase our sense of belonging but also serves as a powerful antidote to loneliness because sports fans experience increased social connection. What they didn't realize was how deep that connection was, the potential it carried for individual and societal wellness, or the opportunities it offered for adult friendships, making and keeping friends, and family ties. 
 
 
 
Their theory is simple: if we want to be less lonely, we need to belong to a community or something greater than ourselves. Over the course of two years, countless in-person interviews and rigorously designed surveys, Ben Valenta and David Sikorjak have the proof that being a fan can lead to: improved social connections; stronger community ties; enhanced well-being; a greater sense of belonging; and more friends. 
 
 
 
The common thread in all of these personal stories is friendship, community, and belonging—a feeling research can't reveal as well as stories can. Fans Have More Friends will make you think differently about sports and reminds all of us of the essential animating quality of fandom: We're in this together. Sports is not always about what's happening on the field but what's happening in the stands.
