Bone Maps

Marcus Blackwell

Maison d'édition: Publifye

Synopsis

'Bone Maps' offers a groundbreaking exploration of human migration history through the unlikely lens of dental records, demonstrating how teeth serve as remarkably durable biological time capsules. This comprehensive study combines traditional anthropological methods with cutting-edge technology to unlock the secrets hidden within ancient dental remains, revealing migration patterns dating back 300,000 years.

 
The book masterfully weaves together three core investigative areas: dental anthropology methodology, chemical analysis of teeth, and the relationship between dental traits and population genetics. Through detailed case studies spanning multiple continents, readers discover how specific dental characteristics function as genetic markers, enabling researchers to track ancient population movements with unprecedented accuracy.

 
The durability of teeth compared to other skeletal remains makes them particularly valuable for understanding human migration patterns, especially when traditional archaeological evidence is scarce. Progressing from fundamental concepts to complex analysis, the text bridges multiple scientific disciplines, including genetics, chemistry, and archaeology.

 
The authors present their findings in an accessible yet scientifically rigorous manner, examining major migration events such as the movement out of Africa and the peopling of the Americas. By incorporating modern analytical techniques like 3D imaging and isotope analysis, the research provides fresh insights into how environmental factors influenced human movement patterns and how dental traits correlate with linguistic and cultural distributions across populations.

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.

Descriptions and Prescriptions -...

Michael R. Emlet

OCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are not just diagnoses from the DSM; they are part of our everyday vocabulary and understanding of people. As Christians, how should we think about psychiatric diagnoses and their associated treatments?We can't afford to isolate ourselves and simply dismiss these categories as unbiblical. Nor can we afford to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise at face value as though Christian Scripture is irrelevant for these complex mental struggles. Instead, we need a balanced, biblically (and scientifically!) informed approach that is neither too warmly embracing nor too coldly dismissive of psychiatric labels and the psychiatric medications that are often prescribed.Biblical counselor and retired physician, Michael R. Emlet, gives readers a helpful way forward on these important issues as he guides lay and professional helpers in the Christian church through the thicket of mental health diagnoses and treatments in a clear, thoughtful primer in which the Bible informs our understanding of psychiatric diagnoses and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels.This first book in the Helping the Helper series will give readers biblical, gospel-formed categories that will help them understand and minister to those who are struggling with mental health issues.
