Synopsis

In 'To the American Indian,' Lucy Thompson weaves a poignant narrative that explores the rich tapestry of Native American life and culture in the late 19th century. This groundbreaking work combines autobiographical elements with detailed observations, written in a lyrical prose style that captures the spirit and resilience of Indigenous peoples. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, Thompson's eloquent reflections serve as both a personal memoir and a broader cultural commentary, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs faced by Native Americans during a period of dispossession and marginalization. Lucy Thompson, a member of the Yurok tribe in California, drew on her own experiences to articulate the complexities of her people's identity and struggles. Her unique perspective as both a Native American woman and a dedicated advocate for Indigenous rights provides an invaluable window into the cultural heritage and societal battles of her time. Thompson's commitment to preserving her community's stories and her candid portrayal of their reality illuminate the profound impact of colonialism on Native lives. This essential read is highly recommended for those interested in Native American studies, gender studies, and American history. 'To the American Indian' not only enriches the literary landscape with its heartfelt authenticity but also challenges readers to confront the historical injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Thompson's insights continue to resonate, making this work a crucial addition to the canon of American literature.

    An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
     
    Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
     
    To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
     
    Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

    India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, which was followed by the Aryan-Vedic culture and then a host of other kingdoms that flourished across the Sub-Continent. India has also been the birthplace of many religions. The Vedic religion of the Aryans evolved into the Hindu religion, and Buddhism and Jainism were also born in India. By the Middle Ages, India was home to many different religions and ethnic groups, with dozens of languages being spoken, making India less of a single, unified country and more of a land of many countries. Despite India’s tradition of cultural and political pluralism, several rulers attempted to place the entire Sub-Continent under the rule of one dynasty or government with a dominant religion. Most of these would-be rulers were far from successful, although a few came close, setting the template for later conquerors. 
    The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India’s pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. The Delhi sultans were themselves descended from Turks and brought with them ideas from Persia. Furthermore, as their empire grew, they invited scholars from throughout the Islamic world to their country, and as Muslim scholars, scientists, and administrators from the Near East made their way into India, the Delhi sultans also incorporated some of the cultural ideas of the native Hindu Indians to create a state that was as unique as any the world had ever seen.
