Sinopse

Precolonial Mapping explores how indigenous cultures understood and navigated their environments without formal cartography. Challenging Western-centric views, it reveals sophisticated alternative knowledge systems used for centuries. The book focuses on mental maps, cognitive representations of space crucial for daily life, and oral traditions, dynamic archives of geographical information transmitted through stories and rituals. These systems, tailored to specific cultural values, demonstrate effective ways of interacting with the environment. The book examines diverse indigenous societies, highlighting the cultural significance of landscapes and their connection to identity.

 
Beginning with an introduction to precolonial mapping, it progresses through the creation of mental maps and the role of oral traditions. It investigates applications in resource management, navigation, and conservation.

 
Readers will gain insights into sustainable living and alternative ways of knowing, making it valuable for those interested in history, geography, and indigenous cultures.

    In the dust of the Gilded Age Bone Wars, two vastly different men emerge with a mission to fill the empty halls of New York's struggling American Museum of Natural History: Henry Fairfield Osborn, a socialite whose reputation rests on the museum's success, and intrepid Kansas-born fossil hunter Barnum Brown. 
     
     
     
    When Brown unearths the first Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils in the Montana wilderness, forever changing the world of paleontology, Osborn sees a path to save his museum from irrelevancy. With four-foot-long jaws capable of crushing the bones of its prey and hips that powered the animal to run at speeds of twenty-five miles per hour, the T. Rex suggests a prehistoric ecosystem more complex than anyone imagined. As the public turns out in droves to cower before this bone-chilling giant of the past and wonder at the mysteries of its disappearance, Brown and Osborn together turn dinosaurs from a biological oddity into a beloved part of culture. 
     
     
     
    The Monster's Bones journeys from prehistory to present day, from remote Patagonia to the badlands of the American West to the penthouses of Manhattan. With a wide-ranging cast of robber barons, eugenicists, and opportunistic cowboys, New York Times bestselling author David K. Randall reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited a new understanding of our planet and our place within it.

    The Thirteen Pillars is the first book in the Doctrine of Discipline series. It is not self-help. It is doctrine. 
    Author and combat veteran Shawn C. O'Neil studied thirty-nine historical exemplars across 2,500 years of warfare, philosophy, science, and leadership to answer one question: what are the actual operating principles the most disciplined people in history share? 
    The result is thirteen pillars. Each pillar contains a law. Not a suggestion. Not a guideline. A law — non-negotiable, observable, repeatable. 
    Where David Goggins gave testimony, this book gives architecture. Where Jocko Willink wrote tactical leadership, this book goes deeper into the philosophical root system underneath it. Where Jordan Peterson built meaning through mythology, this book tests those frameworks in real historical lives. Where Ryan Holiday studied Stoicism from the outside, this book is written from inside the tradition by someone who lived it. Where John C. Maxwell codified the laws of leadership, this book codifies the laws of discipline that leadership requires. 
    The thirty-nine figures span combat, resistance movements, philosophy, governance, science, and art. Marcus Aurelius. Frederick Douglass. Harriet Tubman. Viktor Frankl. Nikola Tesla. Miyamoto Musashi. Some are famous. Several are deliberately obscure because the unknown exemplars carry the clearest signal. They built discipline to survive, not to perform. 
    This is a book about order, standards, and building a life that holds under pressure. It is written for men who are done with motivation and ready for doctrine. 
    The Thirteen Pillars. Builds the Man. 
    Available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook from Black Haus Publishing.

  • The Gift of Anxiety - Harnessing the EASE Method to Turn Stuck Anxiety into Your Greatest Ally - cover

    The Gift of Anxiety - Harnessing...

    Your anxiety has an important message for you. Are you listening?
     
    The mistake most people make with anxiety is trying everything in their power to get rid of it. They may try meditation and breathwork, medication or therapy. The aim is almost always the same: to get rid of anxiety because “anxiety is the problem.”
     
    But anxiety is not the problem.
     
    In fact, anxiety is a necessary and useful emotional response that has played a critical role in our survival for millions of years. Unfortunately, most of us have not been taught what to do with anxiety when it becomes loud and intrusive. So we become afraid of it and view anxiety as a problem we want to solve once and for all.
     
    But getting rid of anxiety is impossible because it’s a natural emotional response. And trying to get rid of it only causes more anxiety because the more we fear anxiety, the more we feel it, until we become anxious about being anxious.
     
    Anxiety comes to use when it has an important message. It is our internal alarm system for potential threats in life. It is designed to keep you safe and alert you to areas of your life that need attention. But when you treat anxiety like it is the problem without paying attention to its message for you, the deeper problems remain, and anxiety only gets louder.
     
    In The Gift of Anxiety, clinical psychologist Diante Fuchs offers a new way to respond to anxiety. Sharing the unique EASE Method for working with anxiety, the book offers a powerful, calm approach that has helped hundreds of people transform their relationship with anxiety and with themselves. With this step-by-step guidance anyone can learn to how to stop fighting anxiety, listen to it, and use it as the gift it truly is.
     
    This book is specifically designed to help those suffering from anxiety find peace one simple step at a time.
