Sinopsis

Ancient Tribal Signals explores the sophisticated non-verbal communication methods developed by indigenous cultures worldwide. It delves into how pre-literate societies conveyed vital information across distances using techniques like smoke signals, drumming, and carved markers. These methods weren't rudimentary; they were intricately woven into the social fabric, reflecting complex belief systems and environmental knowledge. For example, the specific type of wood used for smoke signals could carry different meanings, illustrating the depth of this communication form. The book examines the historical and social contexts surrounding these signals, revealing how environmental factors and social hierarchies shaped their use. It progresses from an introduction to non-verbal communication principles to detailed analyses of smoke signals, drumming's rhythmic codes, and the stories etched in carved markers. Ultimately, Ancient Tribal Signals argues that these systems were crucial in shaping the social, economic, and political landscapes of indigenous societies and highlights their enduring legacy.

Secrets of the Sprakkar -...

Eliza Reid

For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 
 
 
 
Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women—the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand.

Mythologies of the Ancient World...

RYAN MOORHEN

No Sumerian myths have been recovered dealing directly and explicitly with the creation of the universe; what little is known about the Sumerian cosmogonic ideas has been inferred and deduced from laconic statements scattered throughout the literary documents. We have several myths concerned with the organization of the universe and its cultural processes, the creation of man, and the establishment of civilization. The deities involved in these myths are relatively few: the air-God Enlil, the water-God Enki, the mother goddess Ninhursag (also known as Ninh and Ninmah), the god of the south wind Ninurta, the moon-God Nanna-Sin, the Eridu-God Martu, and above all the goddess Inanna, particularly concerning her unlucky spouse Dumuzi.
