Sinopse

In "The Winter Solstice Altars at Hano Pueblo," Jesse Walter Fewkes meticulously explores the rich cultural practices and beliefs surrounding the winter solstice among the Hopi tribe. Employing a blend of ethnographic observation and detailed descriptive analysis, Fewkes portrays the significance of the altars constructed during this sacred time, illuminating the interplay between ritual, spirituality, and the natural world. The work is grounded in the early 20th-century context of American anthropology, presenting a firsthand account that highlights the importance of preserving indigenous traditions amidst the encroachment of modernity. Jesse Walter Fewkes, an esteemed anthropologist and a notable figure in the study of Native American cultures, was deeply influenced by his explorations and interactions with Indigenous communities in the Southwest. His commitment to documenting and understanding Hopi traditions was driven by a conviction to present their perspectives in an age when such narratives were often overshadowed or misrepresented. Fewkes's academic rigor and cultural respect imbue this work with profound authenticity and depth. I highly recommend "The Winter Solstice Altars at Hano Pueblo" to readers interested in anthropology, cultural studies, or Indigenous spirituality. Fewkes's rich documentation offers invaluable insights into the Hopi worldview, ensuring that the significance of these practices resonates with contemporary audiences while also serving as an important contribution to the preservation of indigenous narratives.

    From Alchemy to Illusions: A Journey Through the History of Magic takes readers on an enchanting voyage, tracing the impact of magic on civilization. From ancient shamanic practices to today’s theatrical illusions, this book reveals how magic has influenced culture, religion, science, and imagination for millennia. 
    Magic has long connected the mundane with the mystical, and in From Alchemy to Illusions, readers discover its role across societies. In Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, magic was a divine tool for healing and transformation. Medieval Europe saw a clash between magic and Christianity, while the Renaissance revived alchemy, astrology, and Hermeticism, blending magic with early scientific thought. 
    The book explores magic's role in religious rituals, from shamanism to Sufism and Kabbalah, each using magic as a bridge to the divine. It also delves into witch hunts and inquisitions that sought to suppress practices viewed as heretical.

  • America’s Worst Maritime Disasters: The History of the Deadliest Shipwrecks in American History - cover

    America’s Worst Maritime...

    There have been countless numbers of shipwrecks over the course of history, but few have had as great an impact as the sinking of the SS Central America in a hurricane in September 1857. The California Gold Rush was in full swing, state of the art steamer ships were used to transport the discovered gold back east, and the Central America was one of them. On its fateful voyage, the ship was carrying nearly 600 passengers and a huge haul of up to 20 tons of gold worth an estimated $2 million at the time. The loss of life was a big enough calamity, but the Central America had gone down with so much gold that it scared the American public, which was already beginning to deal with a financial downturn that culminated in the Panic of 1857.  
    While it might have generated the type of publicity and reaction of the Johnstown Flood of 1889 or the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 under normal circumstances, the explosion and sinking of the Sultana on April 27, 1865 has become something of a historical footnote. Perhaps the cruelest irony of the disaster is that the Sultana was packed full of men who had survived every conceivable trial and tribulation of the war, from wounds and sicknesses to being prisoners. Having lost hundreds of thousands, America was almost numb to the loss of a couple of thousand more, especially when many of the dead were soldiers themselves, and in a sense, it was left for future generations to try to unravel what went wrong and to pay tribute to the men who died on that dark night. 
    On June 15, 1904, an annual gala in New York City was held on the passenger ship General Slocum as it steamed up the East River, with about 1,400 people from St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. Consisting mostly of German immigrants, the boat was packed with women and children, and when a small fire started on the ship shortly after the trip began, faulty equipment was unable to put it out.

    This timely book unravels race and emotion in the workplace—exploring why racial emotion is often left out of equity conversations and why we must confront it. 
     
     
     
    Racial Emotion at Work is an invitation to understand our own emotions and associated behaviors around race—and much more. With this surprising and timely book, Tristin K. Green takes us beyond diversity trainings and other individualized solutions to discrimination and inequality in employment, calling for sweeping changes in how the law and work organizations treat and shape racial emotions. 
     
     
      
    Green provides listeners with the latest research on racial emotions in interracial interactions and ties this research to thinking about discrimination and disadvantage at work. We see how our racial emotions can result in discrimination, and how our institutions—the law and work organizations—value and skew our racial emotions in ways that place the brunt of negative consequences on people of color. It turns out we need to reset our institutional and not just our personal radars on racial emotion to advance racial justice. Racial Emotion at Work shows how we can rise to the task.
