Summary

Prairie Sun Powers explores the intersection of technology, environmental sustainability, and social justice through the lens of Lakota reservations transitioning to renewable energy. This book examines how renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and geothermal, can empower marginalized communities while combating climate change. It highlights the unique potential for these technologies to address historical challenges faced by Lakota communities, including energy poverty and limited access to resources. The book argues that these projects represent a viable model for sustainable development, prioritizing community empowerment and environmental stewardship.

 
The book delves into the historical context of Lakota reservations, the technological and economic feasibility of renewable energy on these lands, and the policy initiatives driving this energy transition. It provides a multifaceted approach, drawing on government reports, academic studies, and on-site interviews. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the issues and demonstrates that renewable energy is more than just a technological solution; it’s a tool for social and economic transformation. Beginning with the historical context, the book progresses through chapters examining the technological viability of solar, wind, and geothermal systems. It then investigates the policy landscape and culminates by exploring the broader implications for other indigenous communities. Prairie Sun Powers distinguishes itself with a community-centered approach, prioritizing the voices and perspectives of Lakota community members.

    The Great Dead Body Teachers

    An adventure into the world of anatomy and dissection. 
Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in dead bodies. When I was eight years old, I dug up the remains of my pet budgie Zazbut. He had been buried for about eight weeks in a patch of grass outside our house in Dasmarinas, a fortified village in Manila, in the Philippines. 
 
‘The first exhumation was the beginning of my intrigue with death, which has persisted. As a journalist, I’ve written about graveyards, funerals and death doulas. I always visit the local cemetery wherever I am in the world. But one thing that has largely been hidden from me in this death trip is the dead body. 
 
Dissection might not be a normal topic to contemplate but when both your paternal grandparents donate their bodies to science it does intermittently cross your mind. 
 
This is the story of how Jackie Dent’s grandparents - Ruby and Julie - gave their bodies to science when they died. No one in her family seems to know why, or what really happened with their bodies afterwards. Were they avid science buffs? Was it to save on cremation costs? How do scientists tackle the practicalities and ethics of cutting up the dead for research? And who are body donors generally? 
  
Weaving the personal with the history of anatomy and the dissected, Jackie Dent explores the world of whole-body donation — all the while looking for answers as to what happened to her grandparents.
