Sinopse

Fiji Chiefs explores the historical and contemporary roles of Fijian chiefs, examining how traditional leadership has evolved through colonialism and into modern governance. The book highlights that chiefs held significant power in pre-colonial Fiji, influencing governance, land ownership, and spiritual life.

 
Colonization brought about significant shifts, yet the chiefly system persisted, creating a complex dynamic between traditional authority and colonial structures, which continues to shape Fijian politics.

 
The book is structured to provide a comprehensive overview, starting with an introduction to the traditional roles and responsibilities of chiefs in pre-colonial Fijian society. It then examines the impact of British colonialism, detailing how colonial administrators strategically used and sometimes manipulated chiefly power.

 
Finally, the book analyzes the role of chiefs in post-independence Fiji, exploring their involvement in national politics and the challenges they face in modern governance. The book draws upon diverse sources, including archival materials, colonial records, and interviews, to provide a nuanced understanding suitable for those interested in Fijian history and political science.

  • Prehistoric Warfare: The History of Early Human Conflicts - cover

    Prehistoric Warfare: The History...

    Most scientists believe the evolution of humans has a history nearly as long as life itself. Anatomically modern humans and all other life that has existed on the planet first came about from the single-celled microorganisms that emerged approximately 4 billion years ago. Through the processes of mutation and natural selection, all forms of life developed, and this continuous lineage of life makes it difficult to say precisely when one species completely separates from another. In other words, scientists still debate when a human became a human rather than the ancestor species that came before.  
    	Among paleontologists, the question of human propensity for warfare in prehistoric eons has persisted. Primitive conflict that in time grew into a modern military phenomenon has become an increasing avenue of study. Scientists seek to ascertain whether the distant ancestral line of humans is genetically disposed toward the act of war, or whether social and geographical development have created a circumstantial environment for large-scale societal collisions.  
    	Depictions of humans pierced with arrows began to appear in the Aurignacian-Périgordian eras (30,000 years ago), and in the early Magdalenian era (17,000 years ago). A work of Mesolithic art (20,000 to 10,000 years ago) shows an explicit battle between groups of archers, and in Valencia, a group of three archers are seen surrounded by four of the similarly armed enemy in the Cova del Roure la Vella in Castellón. In the Ares del Maestrat in Alcañiz of Aragon, another work depicts warriors fleeing a group of eight archers, while a similar work at Val del Charco del Agua in Aragon shows seven archers with plumed headgear. Other examples show warriors in lines and columns with a “distinctly garbed leader at the front.” In a sense, it’s entirely reasonable to believe that the earliest people were violent and engaged in warfare the same way people did throughout more recent eras.

    This comprehensive volume brings together five essential topics—Feudalism, Knights and Chivalry, Medieval Education, Medieval Monasticism, and Medieval Medicine—offering a vivid and informative picture of the world between the 5th and 15th centuries. 
    Feudalism unpacks the political and economic system that defined medieval Europe, where land ownership, vassalage, and loyalty structured society and dictated power dynamics. This section reveals how feudal ties affected governance, warfare, and daily life for peasants and nobles alike. 
    Knights and Chivalry delves into the romanticized but complex world of the knight—examining the code of chivalry, the ideals of honor and loyalty, and the brutal realities of medieval warfare and training. It also explores the cultural and symbolic roles knights played in literature and legend. 
    Medieval Education traces the development of learning during the Middle Ages, from cathedral schools to the birth of universities. It examines how knowledge was preserved, transmitted, and expanded by scholars, monks, and philosophers amid religious and political shifts. 
    Medieval Monasticism explores the role of monasteries as spiritual havens and centers of literacy, medicine, and agricultural innovation. Monastic life shaped religious thought, preserved classical texts, and influenced social and economic development across Europe. 
    Medieval Medicine reveals how health and healing were understood in a time when science was interwoven with religion and superstition. This section covers medical practices, key figures, and the influence of classical and Islamic knowledge on medieval health care. 
    Together, these five studies provide a rich understanding of the social fabric and cultural evolution of the medieval world, uncovering the foundations that would influence Europe for centuries.

  • Rethinking Intelligence - A Radical New Understanding of Our Human Potential - cover

    Rethinking Intelligence - A...

    A genetics expert and professor challenges our understanding of intelligence, explaining what it truly means to be “smart,” why conventional assessments are misleading, and what everyone can do to optimize their potential. 
    Growing up in middle-class suburban Los Angeles in the 1980s, Rina Bliss saw intelligence as her ticket out. Like height and stature, intelligence was said to run in families. The prevailing idea was that mental capacity was determined by our DNA and could be measured; a simple IQ test could predict a child’s future. 
    Yet, once Dr. Bliss looked closer, first as a student, then as a scientist, and later as a mom of identical twins who share a genome, she began to challenge conventional wisdom about innate intelligence. In Rethinking Intelligence, she shares her findings, drawing on cutting-edge scientific research to offer a new model for how we understand, define, and assess intelligence, using a measurement that is far more flexible and expansive. 
    Intelligence has little to do with standardized test results or other conventional measures of intellect, Dr. Bliss argues. Intelligence is a process, a journey defined by change that cannot be scored or taken away. Intelligence is influenced by our surroundings in ways that are often overlooked—more than Baby Mozart or flash cards or superfoods, factors like stress, connection, and play actually sculpt young minds. 
    In Rethinking Intelligence, Dr. Bliss shares insights from the burgeoning science of epigenetics to help us harness our environments to empower our minds. If we truly want to nurture potential, we must eliminate toxic stress so that our genes can work optimally, in harmony with our environment. Dr. Bliss offers successful strategies we can use as individuals and a society, including embracing a growth mindset, prioritizing connection, becoming more mindful, and reforming systemic issues—poverty, racism, the lack of quality early childhood education—that have a negative and lasting neurobiological impact. 
    Joining acclaimed works by Carol Dweck, Amy Cuddy, and James Clear, Rethinking Intelligence reframes human behavior and intellect, offering a new perspective for understanding ourselves and our children, and the practical tools necessary to thrive.
