Ice Fish Advance

Tradutor A Ai

Sinopse

"Ice Fish Advance" explores the profound impact of modern technology on the Yupik people's traditional fishing practices in Alaska, examining how these technological advancements have reshaped their fish trade and economic landscape. The book highlights the Yupik's adoption of advanced fishing gear, such as sophisticated nets and boats, while also navigating the complexities of cultural preservation amidst globalization. 

 
A key insight is how increased market access, while economically beneficial, has led to altered trade relationships and evolving business models within the Yupik community. The book contrasts traditional Yupik fishing methods, deeply rooted in subsistence and cultural identity, with their increasing integration into global market systems. 

 
It emphasizes that while modern fishing gear presents economic opportunities, it also introduces challenges related to sustainability and equitable resource distribution. The narrative unfolds by first introducing the historical context, then analyzing the economic impacts, and finally examining the long-term implications for Yupik culture and resource management. 

 
This approach provides a nuanced perspective on modernization within indigenous communities, making it valuable for understanding indigenous adaptation in the face of technological disruption.

Room at the Table - A Leader's...

Renée Branch Canady

What Was Your First Memory of Race?This opening question is the heart and soul of “Room at the Table.” The word equity is thrown around in multiple media outlets, corporations, and non-profits. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion… Many shy away from these terms, convinced that they already understand. In truth, these concepts are a mystery to most. It’s more important than ever to grasp the vital, far-reaching aim of the equity lens. What does this work look like? What does it sound like? What actions must equity leaders take to turn the future of leadership into a reality?With public health injustices on the rise, grounded equity leadership can forge the path to a more healthy, understanding, and effective outlook for all of our futures. In her groundbreaking work, Dr. Renee Branch Canady, CEO of the Michigan Public Health Institute, shares through research and candid stories what it’s like to be on the front lines as an equity public health leader. In a culture centered on optics, Dr. Canady brings to light the true act of doing for the sake of change.Points of focus include:• The innovative concept of “Leadering” • Using our outrage to enact change • Seeing, saying, and doing differently • Acting courageously in the face of institutional racism • Leading with authenticity • Harboring the conviction to move equity work forward, one step at a timeIn Dr. Canady’s words, “Health equity leadership is a new leadership in this space that’s predicated by what’s happening at this moment. It hasn’t happened before. Focusing on others, a willingness to be courageous, and a willingness to do something that hasn’t been done before is a grey space in health equity leadership.”“Room at the Table” addresses this grey space with unflinching honestly and hope.

Vanishing Life on Earth

Bimalendu B. Nath

The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.

Strangers to Ourselves -...

Rachel Aviv

A New York Times Book Review Ten Best Books of 2022 A Wall Street Journal Ten Best Books of 2022 The acclaimed, award-winning New Yorker writer Rachel Aviv offers a groundbreaking exploration of mental illness and the mind, and illuminates the startling connections between diagnosis and identity. In Strangers to Ourselves, a powerful and gripping debut, Rachel Aviv raises fundamental questions about how we understand ourselves in periods of crisis and distress. Drawing on deep, original reporting as well as unpublished journals and memoirs, Aviv writes about people who have come up against the limits of psychiatric explanations for who they are. She follows an Indian woman, celebrated as a saint, who lives in healing temples in Kerala; an incarcerated mother vying for her children’s forgiveness after recovering from psychosis; a man who devotes his life to seeking revenge upon his psychoanalysts; and an affluent young woman who, after a decade of defining herself through her diagnosis, decides to go off her meds because she doesn’t know who she is without them. Animated by a profound sense of empathy, Aviv’s exploration is refracted through her own account of living in a hospital ward at the age of six and meeting a fellow patient with whom her life runs parallel—until it no longer does. Aviv asks how the stories we tell about mental disorders shape their course in our lives. Challenging the way we understand and talk about illness, her account is a testament to the porousness and resilience of the mind.

Day That Will Live in Infamy A:...

Editors Charles River

All Americans are familiar with the “day that will live in infamy.” At 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, the advanced base of the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet, was ablaze. It had been smashed by aircraft launched by the carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. All eight battleships had been sunk or badly damaged, 350 aircraft had been knocked out, and over 2,000 Americans lay dead. Indelible images of the USS Arizona exploding and the USS Oklahoma capsizing and floating upside down have been ingrained in the American conscience ever since. In less than an hour and a half the Japanese had almost wiped out America’s entire naval presence in the Pacific.
Less than 24 hours earlier, Japanese and American negotiators had been continuing their diplomatic efforts to stave off conflict in the region, but as they did, President Roosevelt and his inner circle had seen intelligence reports strongly suggesting an imminent attack - though they did not know where. The U.S. rightly believed that Japan would take action to prevent the Americans from interfering with their military activities in Southeast Asia, and American military forces in the Philippines were already bracing for a potential attack. However, as the negotiations were ongoing, the powerful Japanese carrier fleet had been surging southwards through the Pacific while maintaining radio silence, preparing to strike the blow that would ignite war in an area spanning half the globe.
Posted on the other side of the world, it was early on the morning of December 8 in the Philippines when American general Douglas MacArthur received news of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor hours earlier. With that, it could only be a matter of time before the Japanese attacked the Philippines. Although MacArthur and Allied forces tried to hold out, they could only fight a delaying action, and the Japanese managed to subdue all resistance by the spring of 1942.
