Sinopse

Precolonial Fishing Nets explores the ingenious fishing techniques utilized by indigenous societies, revealing a deep understanding of aquatic ecosystems and sustainable resource management. These societies, lacking modern technology, crafted sophisticated fishing nets adapted to diverse environments. The book highlights how these nets weren't just tools, but embodiments of ecological knowledge. For example, the choice of natural fibers and net construction methods reflected a nuanced understanding of water conditions and fish behavior.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the principles of net design and aquatic ecology. It then presents case studies from regions like the Pacific Northwest and the Amazon basin, showcasing the specific materials and methods used by different indigenous groups. By analyzing archaeological evidence and historical accounts, the book reveals the cultural significance of these fishing technologies.

 
Ultimately, Precolonial Fishing Nets argues that this historical knowledge holds valuable lessons for contemporary sustainable practices, offering insights for conservation and fisheries management.

Raffi Grinberg

What Color Is Your Parachute? meets I Will Teach You To Be Rich for twentysomethings.

Though twenty- and thirty-somethings are better educated than ever before, essentially none of the topics critical to being a full-fledged adult—such as how to get a new job, create a budget, file your taxes, face rejection, and navigate family dynamics—are covered in lower or higher education. Fortunately, here is a book that does just that. 
 
 
 
From entrepreneur Raffi Grinberg, who lived and learned the hard way throughout his twenties, here is a crash course in everything you need to know to be a grown up. Based on his wildly popular "Adulting 101" course at Boston College, Grinberg firmly steers you through the basics of being a grown up using interactive chapters, bite-size nuggets of wisdom, humor, and stories from his twenties, including nearly going broke, having bad credit, disappointing his parents, and much more. As Raffi tells his students, "I want you to have a quarter-life crisis now so that you won't have a mid-life crisis later."

American Military History: A...

Captivating History

Americans generally show great respect for their troops, and rightfully so. But what is the history of the US Armed Forces? How did the American military come about?
The answers to these questions might not be quite as straightforward as you might think. The American military industrial complex, as one former president once called it, was not always so streamlined and efficient.
It began more or less as a ragtag bunch of colonialists and revolutionaries who struggled with some of the most fundamental concepts of military discipline. Nevertheless, this ragtag group ultimately shook off the yoke of the British Empire and forged an independent nation.
In this audiobook, we take a look at America’s military might from its inception to the present day. We explore the beginnings of both pre- and post-revolutionary America, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, the world wars, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, the War on Terror, and more. The American military is still considered a force to be reckoned with, and its story is one that continues to be written about.
In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The interesting origin of the US Armed ForcesThe participation of American militias in the Revolutionary WarArmed conflict during the Civil WarAmerica’s participation in the world warsHow America was involved in the Cold War conflictThe War on Terror and how it influenced world politicsHow American’s military advanced throughout the yearsAnd much more!
