Sinopsis

Rock Gems Glow explores the fascinating story of Zuni jewelry and its profound economic and cultural impact on the Zuni Pueblo. This art form, deeply rooted in Zuni traditions, has become a vital source of economic empowerment for the community. The book examines not only the evolution of Zuni jewelry, including lapidary techniques and intricate designs, but also its role in preserving cultural heritage. Intriguingly, Zuni jewelry transitioned from primarily ceremonial use to a significant income source, demonstrating the adaptability and resilience of indigenous art.

 
The book progresses from introducing Zuni culture and artistic history to detailing jewelry techniques and analyzing economic factors like supply chains and market dynamics. It argues that Zuni jewelry exemplifies how indigenous art can drive economic development while maintaining cultural integrity, challenging conventional economic models. Through ethnographic fieldwork and economic analysis, Rock Gems Glow reveals how craftsmanship, cultural tourism, and community development are intertwined, offering a unique perspective on art economics.

The Romance of Modern Chemistry

James C. Philip

""The Romance of Modern Chemistry" is a fascinating glimpse into the state of chemistry a century ago. Written by James C. Philip, PhD, an assistant professor of chemistry at The Imperial College of Science and Technology, Kensington, this book provides a non-technical description of the diverse and wonderful ways in which chemical forces were at work and their manifold applications in modern life back in 191012.

University - A Reckoning

Lee C. Bollinger

The American university―one of the most successful institutions in human history―is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the US. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to other countries where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his account of the university's significance, in such dire times one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for. 
 
Bollinger reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system―because it provides those who study and work within it a degree of creative freedom hard to find elsewhere―and why that structure is both impossible to recreate and vulnerable to outside attack. The fundamental mission of the university is to enhance knowledge, but this is not merely a high-minded idea. It is, as Bollinger demonstrates, a notion rooted deeply in the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment, the basis of our political and social life. The university helps realize the First Amendment; the First Amendment helps make the university. Bollinger argues that, with the press diminished, the university remains the only source of truth-seeking for those who still believe in democracy. The university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue.

Ancient China: An Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

It has become a common theme in today’s world to talk about the incredible technological and economic development of modern China. However, there are very strong historical roots to the exponential growth of modern China going back thousands and thousands of years. 
Today, people stand in awe of China’s achievements, such as lifting hundreds of millions of people from poverty or becoming a global power. But have you ever wondered how the ancient people from the Far East developed so much while being virtually independent of other civilizations? 
Not everything in China’s history is tied to growth, improvement, and development. There were many periods riddled with internal strife, which plagued China and its numerous dynasties. However, the Chinese empires were somewhat shielded from external dangers, partially thanks to the ingeniousness of the Chinese and the famous Great Wall of China and partially thanks to the country’s geographic position. 
In this audiobook, we look into how and why the historical pendulum of China sometimes turned one way and then the other. Discover the following about ancient China:The deep, virtually unfathomable paleolithic roots of Chinese civilization;Neolithic China and the formation of the Yellow River and Yangtze settlements;The Age of Metal in China, a glorious but increasingly violent period that resulted in the emergence of the first hegemons in China;The mythical Xia dynasty and its fantastic Yu the Great, credited with taming the Yellow River;The birth of China’s fascinating writing system during the Shang dynasty;The rise of the Zhou, who finally overthrew the Shang, thanks to their military prowess and ability to keep numerous Chinese states tied in a loose feudal system;And so much more!
