Sinopse

Ancient Fishing Methods explores the ingenious and sustainable fishing techniques developed by indigenous cultures worldwide. Long before modern technology, these societies relied on aquatic resources, crafting strategies that ensured both effective harvesting and ecological balance. Consider, for example, the sophisticated trap systems used in some cultures, designed to selectively catch certain species while allowing others to pass unharmed, or the seasonal restrictions implemented to protect spawning grounds.

 
The book investigates diverse fishing methods—spearfishing, netting, angling, and trapping—categorized by geographic region. It highlights how these practices reflect a deep understanding of local ecosystems and resource management. By examining archaeological records, ethnographic studies, and traditional ecological knowledge, the book reveals how these ancient practices shaped historical economies and offer valuable lessons for modern environmental challenges, especially in fisheries management.

 
Progressing from core concepts to detailed descriptions, the book examines the sustainability of these practices, their economic impact, and their relevance to contemporary conservation. It showcases how traditional techniques, often dismissed, embody a profound understanding of ecological balance, providing vital insights for addressing today's environmental concerns.

Emplaced Resistances in Occupied...

Suzanne H. Hammad

In this deeply personal study, Hammad illuminates an agenda of place, meaning and resistance in territorial struggles through the telling of a less-heard story of how residents of Bil'in understand their world and their lives in the occupied Palestinian West Bank landscape. Taking a case study of a contested and divided Palestinian village situated in the heart of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and known for its sustained, nonviolent protest against the separation wall that cuts through its lived spaces, Hammad examines how villagers live, experience, interpret, and attempt to resist infringements on their property and person. 
The study considers the spectrum of ways that people resist in this context, examining not only the overt weekly protests but also the everyday acts and subjectivities of resistance of its residents, young and old. The backdrop of the protracted Palestinian-Israel conflict and Palestinians' struggle over space, place, and history- which continues to play out in the present- makes this book politically relevant and empowering as it brings voices from a secluded contested village the world.
