Sinopse

"Tribal Star Charts" explores the sophisticated astronomical knowledge of indigenous civilizations worldwide, revealing how they meticulously observed the cosmos and integrated these observations into their daily lives. It highlights the critical role of astronomy in their agriculture, navigation, social structures, and ceremonial practices, challenging the traditionally Eurocentric view of scientific advancement. Discover how the Maya civilization developed a precise calendar system and how Polynesian wayfinding techniques utilized star compasses, demonstrating the depth of their understanding. The book emphasizes the importance of recognizing diverse epistemologies and understanding indigenous systems, offering a richer, more complete history of science and revealing sustainable models of interacting with the natural world. It examines archaeoastronomy, cultural astronomy, and the ethnography of indigenous knowledge, providing concrete examples of their sophisticated understanding. By centering the voices and knowledge of indigenous communities, the book avoids cultural appropriation and emphasizes the ethical considerations of studying this knowledge. Structured in three parts, the book first introduces fundamental concepts and methodologies, then examines global case studies, and finally analyzes the broader implications of indigenous astronomy for contemporary issues like environmental sustainability and cultural preservation. It connects to fields like anthropology and archaeology, providing a broad, interdisciplinary approach suitable for anyone interested in history, science, and indigenous cultures.

    From the bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues and one of Newsweek's 150 Women Who Changed the World, a visionary memoir of separation and connection—to the body, the self, and the worldPlaywright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body—how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body—a disconnection brought on by her father's sexual abuse and her mother's remoteness. "Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth," she writes, "I could not feel or know their pain."But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a body—pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully—and gratefully—joined to the body of the world.Unflinching and inspiring, Ensler's In the Body of the World calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world.

    Invisible Illness - A History...

    A moving cultural history of disability—and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions 
      
    From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? 
      
    Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease—which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness—and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system—and how we can do better. 
      
    "This book challenges us to address discrimination in clinical care for people with complex chronic conditions like long Covid, questioning why some are believed while others aren't—a persistent disparity in US healthcare."—Oni Blackstock, primary care and HIV physician and founder of Health Justice
