Sinossi

Snow Hunts Speed explores the snowmobile's transformative impact on Inuit hunting and Arctic society. This book examines how this technological innovation revolutionized Inuit life, affecting everything from resource management to social structures.

 
Prior to snowmobiles, Inuit hunters relied on dog sleds and traditional knowledge, exhibiting remarkable skill in navigating the harsh Arctic environment. The introduction of snowmobiles dramatically increased hunting efficiency, allowing access to previously unreachable areas. However, this technological advancement instigated complex social and economic shifts.

 
The book argues that while snowmobiles enhanced hunting, they also increased dependence on wage labor for fuel and maintenance, altering traditional knowledge transmission among elders. By incorporating oral histories and archival records, Snow Hunts Speed presents a nuanced perspective on the interplay between technology, culture, and environment.

 
Organized thematically, the book first details the snowmobile's history and adaptation to Arctic conditions. It then analyzes how snowmobiles enhanced hunting efficiency. Concluding sections explore the social and economic consequences, including the changing role of elders and new social hierarchies linked to snowmobile ownership, making it a valuable resource in Arctic Studies.

Covert - The Psychology of War...

A.S. Dulat, Asad Durani, Neil K....

After the tremendous success of The Spy Chronicles, A.S. Dulat and Asad Durrani participated in a series of conversations on the psychology of war and peace; these have evolved into this fascinating book, written with psychiatrist Neil K. Aggarwal.  
Covert takes the reader right into the head of the two spymasters. Delving into their personal and professional trajectories that moulded them in the early years, the conversation traces the extent to which their Indian and Pakistani identities have defined them. Masterfully moderated by Aggarwal, the discussion then turns to the domain of international relations, exploring why the governments of India and Pakistan collaborate in certain areas, but not in others. What emerges is a remarkably forthright, provocatively honest appraisal of the peacebuilding process between the two nations that appear inherently hostile to each other but share so much in terms of history and cultural identity.  
The dialogues in Covert reveal a deep camaraderie between Dulat and Durrani, who have headed the intelligence operations for their respective countries. But more importantly perhaps, it provides deep insights into the shadowy world of negotiation and subterfuge. It is an eye-opener and a must-read for anyone invested in peace and amity in South Asia.

Show Me Your Papers

Doc King Cole

If you enjoy political, historical or current event humor, take a load of this book.We will take the piss (or make fun of) The Illuminati, it's history and command and controlof every nation under the Sun.As I type this words Queen Elizabeth II is being buried. In this text, no shots will be taken at her life or legacy. It may differ during the audio post production. More knowledge may lead to many changes in your life. Truth is, the older one grows, the we realize, God controls over all, even a redneck cantankerous continues to learn this at almost an age north of 50. You are in for a treat because this version is not available in print, at least the last five or six chapters on audio.If you are a Bible reader, remember the Canaanites sacrificed their children to the god Molech. To me this became one of the cornerstone of these elite formations of this ‘Enlighted Group.’ Then it morphed into secret societies, free masonry, and evolved into controlling governments. Yet the Devil or Satan told Christ ‘All These Kingdoms Are Mine! So why are many of us are surprised after thousands of years, the control and command on Earth resides with him, the 13 Elite families, The Bilderberg Group, the CFR, The WEF, The WHO, The Octagon Group (Geneva Switzerland). In the off news sites, they are known as the Kazazian Mafia. This text is not designed to provide the exact origins of the Illuminati. There are several sites one may visit for this information. This author connects the past constructions of this group, shows how it is divided to conceal itself. The audio version will demonstrate the Red Neck or Southern twangs of pronunciation. Their may exist some decent secret societies but to my knowledge, of they are secret, then how do they help we brothers and sisters? I have read of the White Dragon and the Red Dragon Societies and a MC Club called SOS. Once a soldier in Iraq told us on a Humvee ride in Ramadi he was a member of the SOS. I replied, ‘Well if it’s so secret,

Tom Bower

THE BESTSELLING AND CONTROVERSIAL BIOGRAPHYBritain's leading investigative writer and biographer, Tom Bower turns the full beam of his formidable powers on one of the most controversial figures of present day: Mohamed Al Fayed.Owner of Harrods, bereaved father of Dodi and instigator of the 'cash for questions' sensation, this book was originally published in 1998 to wide acclaim. But with the recent heinous accusations of sexual misconduct coming to light, this new and updated edition will offer a new focus of Tom Bower's trademark acerbic insight on this controversial figure.'[Tom Bower] is the Inspector Morse of investigative biographers, a fluent, phlegmatic story-teller and a master of intricacies.' Sunday Times'Given the extreme difficulty of researching a subject like Fayed, Bower deserves full marks for effort and courage... his Fayed is a "fuggin" good read.' Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph'A book that displays all the forensic skills he employed in exposing Rowland and Robert Maxwell.' Sunday Times'...that rare thing - a book by turns so entertaining and alarming that even reading the index is an engrossing experience'. Oliver Burkeman, Guardian
