Synopsis

In "The Collected Works of James Willard Schultz," readers are invited into a rich tapestry of narratives that reflect the intersection of Native American culture and the American frontier. Schultz's prose is characterized by its lyrical quality and vivid imagery, presenting a unique perspective on the life of the Blackfoot tribe and the expanding Western frontier during the late 19th century. This compilation, comprising both fiction and non-fiction, offers a holistic view of Native American experiences through an anthropological lens, as Schultz intricately weaves personal anecdotes with historical accounts, highlighting the complexities of cultural exchange and conflict in an evolving America. Born in 1859, James Willard Schultz lived for several years among the Blackfoot people, immersing himself in their customs and worldview. A trained writer and painter, Schultz's artistic endeavors were profoundly shaped by his deep respect for Indigenous culture, which ultimately inspired his desire to narrate their stories. His works are further informed by his diverse experiences as a settler, which allowed him to critically engage with the narratives of both the Indigenous and Euro-American perspectives, making his writings a crucial part of early 20th-century American literature. For readers interested in Indigenous narratives, American history, or the powerful interplay of cultures, "The Collected Works of James Willard Schultz" is an invaluable treasure trove. Schultz's eloquent storytelling and empathetic portrayal of the Blackfoot people illuminate a pivotal yet often overlooked segment of American heritage. This collection stands as a testament to the resilience and richness of Native cultures, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of America's historical landscape.

Take to the Trees - A Story of...

Marguerite Holloway

Journalist Marguerite Holloway arrives at the Women's Tree Climbing Workshop as a climbing novice, but with a passion for trees and a deep concern about their future. Run by twin sister tree doctors Bear LeVangie and Melissa LeVangie Ingersoll, the workshop helps people develop impressive technical skills and ascend into the canopy. As Holloway tackles unfamiliar equipment and dizzying heights, she learns about the science of trees and tells the stories of charismatic species, including hemlock, aspen, Atlantic white cedar, oak, and beech. She spotlights experts who are chronicling the great dying that is underway in forests around the world as trees face simultaneous and accelerating threats from drought, heat, floods, disease, and other disruptions. 
 
 
 
As she climbs, Holloway also comes to understand the profound significance of trees in her relationship with her late mother and brother. The book's rousing final chapter offers something new: a grander environmental and arboreal optimism, in which the story of trees and their resilience meshes with that of people working to steward the forests of the future, and of community found among fellow tree climbers. A lyrical work of memoir and reportage, Take to the Trees sounds the alarm about rapid arboreal decline while also offering hope about how we might care for our forests and ourselves.

You won't just learn how to use AI, but also how to orchestrate it.

The Tech Coup - How to Save...

Marietje Schaake

Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
 
 
 
In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.
