Summary

Ocean Nets Modernize delves into the transformation of Polynesian fishing practices, examining the shift from traditional, sustainable methods to motorized fishing driven by the rise of tourism. This evolution significantly impacts both the marine ecosystems and the cultural fabric of Polynesian communities. The book unveils how the introduction of motorized vessels, while initially boosting fish yields, has created complex challenges for these island societies. For instance, traditional Polynesian fishing was deeply interwoven with their cultural beliefs, a stark contrast to the increasingly commercialized practices of today.

 
The book progresses by first exploring pre-colonial Polynesian fishing techniques, emphasizing sustainability, then examining the adoption of motorized vessels and the growth of tourism. A key focus is the demand for specific fish species to cater to tourist consumption. This comprehensive approach highlights how external economic pressures and technological advancements have altered traditional ways of life, influencing everything from economic development to environmental conservation.

 
Ultimately, the study connects to environmental science, anthropology, and economics, providing a holistic view of the challenges facing Polynesian communities as they navigate globalization.

The State and Revolution

Vladimir Lenin

The State and Revolution (1917), by Vladimir Lenin, describes the role of the State in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Lenin began the composition of an early draft of State and Revolution while in exile in Switzerland in 1916, under the title "Marxism on the State".
"Soviets", legislative bodies of workers and peasants were the de facto governments of Petrograd and many smaller cities. The Russian public was deeply upset with the continuation of Russia's involvement in World War One and the continued economic difficulties that it brought on. On November 7th The Congress of Soviets officially elected a coalition of Bolsheviks, Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks to govern. Through the Red Guards, paramilitary organizations of revolutionary workers, sailors and soldiers; the Soviet government was able to storm The Winter Palace and officially abolishing the Provisional government. The revolution was not uniformly accepted among all Russians, resistance and disruption would occur routinely leading up to The Russian Civil War.

Renewable Energy - A Very Short...

Nick Jelley

Energy is vital for a good standard of living, and affordable sources of power that do not cause climate change or pollution are crucial. Renewable energy is recognized as providing the answer, with countries from around the world deciding at COP28 in 2023 to aim to triple the global renewable energy capacity by 2030, for the transition away from fossil fields to be on track for net-zero emissions by 2050.This Very Short Introduction describes the main sources of renewable energy—solar PV, wind, hydropower, and biomass—their innovative technologies, and what each could deliver. It also discusses the relatively small contributions expected from tidal, wave, geothermal, and nuclear power, and from carbon capture and storage. Electrification of buildings, industry, and transport for net-zero will roughly triple the supply of electricity, and this can be met predominantly by solar PV and wind power.The learning effect has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of wind and solar PV power in the last decade, making them the cheapest generators of electricity in most parts of the world. The Very Short Introduction ends by discussing the actions needed that include strong consistent policies, financial initiatives to take advantage of the long-term benefits of renewables, and good community involvement.
