Synopsis

Root Digging Life explores the profound connection between rural communities and the foraging of root vegetables, revealing how this practice has shaped social structures, ecological knowledge, and resilience. Did you know that specific foraging techniques, including when and how to harvest, have been passed down through generations, reflecting a deep understanding of plant-human interactions? Or that root vegetables have historically served as vital buffers against famine and economic hardship? The book examines this relationship through three lenses: the ecological understanding needed for successful foraging, the social dynamics within families and communities during root harvesting, and the historical context of dependence on these foraged foods. It uniquely combines ethnobotany, oral histories, and archival research to elevate the voices of community members and challenge conventional views of rural life. By delving into topics like sustainable living and food security, Root Digging Life demonstrates how traditional ecological knowledge remains relevant today. The book begins by establishing the ecological foundations of root vegetable foraging, then explores the social structures that underpin this practice, before tracing the historical trends of reliance on root vegetables. This comprehensive approach offers valuable insights for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the enduring connection between humans and nature.

Trafficking Data - How China is...

Aynne Kokas

From TikTok and Fortnite to Grindr and Facebook, Aynne Kokas delivers an urgent look into the technology firms that gather our data, and how the Chinese government is capitalizing on this data flow for political gain. 
 
 
 
In Trafficking Data, Aynne Kokas looks at how technology firms in the two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have exploited government policy (and the lack thereof) to gather information on citizens, putting US national security at risk. Kokas argues that US government leadership failures, Silicon Valley's disruption fetish, and Wall Street's addiction to growth have fueled China's technological goldrush. In turn, American complacency yields an unprecedented opportunity for Chinese firms to gather data in the United States and quietly send it back to China, and by extension, to the Chinese government. Drawing on years of fieldwork in the US and China and a large trove of corporate and policy documents, Trafficking Data explains how China is fast becoming the global leader in internet governance and policy, and thus of the data that defines our public and private lives.

Rev. Richard Sutcliffe

This is a warm and life-affirming account, honest but never whimsical. Despite some of the difficult subjects, this memoir is overwhelmingly positive and a tribute to love. 
Modern families come together in all sorts of ways – one parent, two parents; same sex, opposite sex; planned, unplanned; biological, adopted. There are examples of different sorts of families all around us. 
Finding Mac tells the story of how one family came together, as Richard and his wife Swee welcome eight-year-old Mac into their lives. It recounts the highs and lows as they get to know and love each other becoming a successful family unit. Along the way it shares their experience of adoption, and particularly the experience of adopting an older child. From joining a local school, figuring out your family’s new traditions, going on holiday for the first time, and navigating the bureaucracy of the social care system. 
But all that changed when Mac was killed on his motorbike, just a few months after his sixteenth birthday. Finding Mac deals honestly with the feelings of a parent who faces the death of his child, and coping with the aftermath.

The Dean of Shandong -...

Daniel A. Bell

This audiobook narrated by Wyntner Woody provides an inside view of Chinese academia and what it reveals about China's political system

On January 1, 2017, Daniel Bell was appointed dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University—the first foreign dean of a political science faculty in mainland China's history. In The Dean of Shandong, Bell chronicles his experiences as what he calls "a minor bureaucrat," offering an inside account of the workings of Chinese academia and what they reveal about China's political system. It wasn't all smooth sailing—Bell wryly recounts sporadic bungles and misunderstandings—but Bell's post as dean provides a unique vantage point on China today.

Bell, neither a Chinese citizen nor a member of the Chinese Communist Party, was appointed as dean because of his scholarly work on Confucianism—but soon found himself coping with a variety of issues having little to do with scholarship or Confucius. These include the importance of hair color and the prevalence of hair-dyeing among university administrators, both male and female; Shandong's drinking culture, with endless toasts at every shared meal; and some unintended consequences of an intensely competitive academic meritocracy. As dean, he also confronts weightier matters: the role at the university of the Party secretary, the national anticorruption campaign and its effect on academia (Bell asks provocatively, "What's wrong with corruption?"), and formal and informal modes of censorship. Considering both the revival of Confucianism in China over the last three decades and what he calls "the Communist comeback" since 2008, Bell predicts that China's political future is likely to be determined by both Confucianism and Communism.
