Sinossi

Ancient Maple Harvest explores the fascinating history and science behind maple syrup, revealing its deep roots in indigenous knowledge and sustainable harvesting practices. For centuries before European contact, indigenous peoples across North America, including the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee, skillfully transformed maple sap into a vital food source. These communities ingeniously developed techniques for tapping trees and boiling sap, understanding the precise timing and methods necessary to create syrup and sugar. This book uniquely positions indigenous innovation in maple sugaring as a significant contribution to North American foodways, often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

 
The book progresses from the botanical characteristics of maple trees to pre-colonial harvesting methods, detailing tools, timing, and processing. It then examines the impact of European colonization on indigenous practices, analyzing how trade and land dispossession altered these traditions. By drawing upon archaeological evidence, ethnographic accounts, and oral histories, Ancient Maple Harvest offers a comprehensive and accessible look at the cultural significance and environmental consciousness embedded within indigenous maple sugaring.

The UFO Experience - Evidence...

J. Allen Hynek, Paul Hynek

The case against UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) has not been put to rest. Although UFOs "officially" did not exist for decades according to the government, reports of sightings continue to be made, and the latest releases from the government and related hearings have surprised the world. While the scientific community has put UFOs out to pasture, the evidence used to dismiss them is rare and unscientific. 
 
 
  
Dr. Hynek, a scientist himself, and the only government-paid ufologist in history, looks at the decisions made by officialdom in the early days of ufology and how these decisions have held us back—to the point that we are still naively talking about UFOs as we were in the 1950s. Has seventy years of research made no difference at all in our understanding? 
 
 
  
Dr. Hynek proves that there is a conspiracy afoot to hide the facts and that there are many cases that still need to be explained by mainstream science—not dismissed with facile jokes and stupid logic. Citing specific cases, Hynek challenges those in the ivory tower by raising questions that have still not been answered and refuting mainstream arguments that have yet to be proven.

The Wireless World - Global...

Friederike Kind-Kovacs, Andrea...

The Wireless World sets out a new research agenda for the history of international broadcasting, and for radio history more generally. It examines global and transnational histories of long-distance wireless broadcasting, combining perspectives from international history, media and cultural history, the history of technology, and sound studies. It is a cowritten book, the result of more than five years of collaboration. Bringing together their knowledge of a wide range of different countries, languages, and archives, the coauthors show how broadcasters and states deployed international broadcasting as a tool of international communication and persuasion. 
 
 
 
Exploring the idea of a "wireless world," a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio, The Wireless World sheds new light on the transnational connections created by international broadcasting. Bringing together all periods of international broadcasting within a single analytical frame, the study reveals key continuities and transformations. It looks at how wireless was shaped by internationalist ideas about the use of broadcasting to promote world peace and understanding, at how empires used broadcasting to perpetuate colonialism, and at how anti-colonial movements harnessed radio as a weapon of decolonization.
