Sinopsis

Indigenous Navigation illuminates the sophisticated, often overlooked navigational systems developed by indigenous cultures worldwide. Challenging conventional narratives, the book highlights the profound understanding of celestial navigation, environmental interpretation, and oral cartography that enabled remarkable feats of exploration. Consider how ancient mariners used subtle cues like wind patterns and animal migrations, combined with knowledge of stars, to traverse vast oceans. Or, how oral traditions served as living maps, passing down crucial geographic information across generations. This book explores how these systems represent a holistic knowledge base, deeply intertwined with cultural values and spiritual beliefs.

Moving beyond mere technical descriptions, it examines specific geographical regions, such as the Pacific Islands and the Arctic, showcasing how indigenous populations ingeniously utilized local resources and knowledge. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of indigenous knowledge with Earth sciences, geography, and history, the book demonstrates its enduring relevance.

The book progresses from introducing core components of indigenous navigation to detailed regional explorations, culminating in an argument for its global prevalence and potential contribution to contemporary challenges. Indigenous Navigation is valuable for anyone interested in history, geography, or anthropology, and seeks to promote a more inclusive and accurate understanding of human history, environmental sustainability, and cultural diversity.

The US Congress - A Very Short...

Donald A. Ritchie

Donald A. Ritchie, a congressional historian for forty years, takes listeners on a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tour of Capitol Hill, pointing out the key players, explaining their behavior, and translating parliamentary language into plain English. He also explores the essential necessity of compromise to accomplish anything significant in the legislative arena. However, recent events show that political polarization has hardened and produced gridlock. The 2020 election also produced a more diverse membership in terms of gender, ethnicity, religion, and ideology, with primary elections resulting in the defeat of moderate candidates, making bipartisan compromise harder to achieve. 
 
 
 
Among the most significant events, the Senate ignored President Obama's last nomination to the Supreme Court and then adopted a "nuclear option" to streamline future Supreme Court confirmations. The House also twice impeached President Trump, processes that starkly expose the differences between the majority-rule requirements of the House and the super-majority requirements of the Senate. This new edition explains how the parties have changed in light of the unprecedented politics of the past four years, culminating in the mob attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and how this development has affected both the House and the Senate.

Kyu Kito Vesah

In this book, the events experienced by the Sikhs have been divided into four parts, which include: 
1. How, before Partition, the Sikhs were used in the struggle for independence, and then after independence, the promises made to the Sikhs were abandoned. 
2. How, in June 1984, an attack was carried out on Sri Darbar Sahib, and without considering its sanctity and greatness, it was destroyed and labelled as a hideout of terrorists. 
3. How, after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, atrocities were unleashed upon Sikhs in Delhi and other cities—how they were burned alive and how women were dishonored. 
4. Finally, how today’s Sikhs are being discriminated against, how the government is trying to suppress them, and what strategies are being devised to weaken them economically. 
Along with all this, the demands of the Sikhs, the rights of Punjab, and the injustices faced by Punjab and the Sikhs have been discussed with great neutrality and boldness. 
Let's listen the book.

Nonmonogamy and Sex Work - A...

Zara Shah

An intersectional examination of the ways in which nonmonogamy can break down traditional power structures to be particularly empowering to marginalized people. 
What does nonmonogamy allow other than the freedom to love whoever you wish to love? For Zara Shah, nonmonogamy allows greater freedom of social interaction and a richer view of intimacy. It allows not only more choices for sexual and romantic partners, but also greater range in hobbies, careers and friendships. 
Nonmonogamy has allowed Shah—a Pakistani woman who immigrated to Canada and a sex worker in a nonmonogamous relationship—to push the boundaries of what sexual intimacy means to relationships. Being in a committed, nonmonogamous relationship helped her appreciate nuance in sexuality, love and human behaviour. Through redefining sex and love, she was able to discover a level of confidence that has enabled her to be successful in the sex industry and to not be ashamed of the nature of the work, despite enduring social stigma. 
Through the lens of this experience, Shah discusses economics and sex work, intimacy and sex work, nonmonogamy and religious and social conflict, social rejection and nonmonogamy, the intersection between nonmonogamous and sex work communities, nonmonogamy and sexual health, and the impact of sex work on mental health.
