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.

This unrecognized isolation can occur even when we are surrounded by other people in our daily lives. However, by learning to listen to our craziness, we can use it as a tool for ending isolation and opening up to love.

    Stefan Stern draws on the major themes of Macbeth and discusses how they can be applied to ambition in modern life.
    From the success of the first US woman Vice President, Kamala Harris, the obstacles she faced and the possibilities that still lie ahead, to Boris Johnson's young aspirations to be 'world king' and the pathological intensity of his ambition, Stern considers the careers and personal lives of politicians, sports stars and business people, to name a few, to illuminate this strange and powerful driver. Discover how ambition and success work together, how attitudes have shifted over time, and how gender roles have an impact on our goals.
    
    
    Incisive, contemporary and accessible, this book is for anyone who is looking for a change of direction or emphasis on how to move forward. It will also provide consolation, amusement and plenty of insightful meditations on the complex nature of ambition.

    Fifteen Out of the Box Ideas...

    The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
    Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
    I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
    This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
    Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
    Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
    At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
    My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.

    The Ripple Effect - China's...

    Many studies of China's relations with and influence on Southeast Asia tend to focus on how Beijing has used its power asymmetry to achieve regional influence. Yet, scholars and pundits often fail to appreciate the complexity of the contemporary Chinese state and society, and just how fragmented, decentralized, and internationalized China is today. 
     
     
     
    In The Ripple Effect, Enze Han argues that a focus on the Chinese state alone is not sufficient for a comprehensive understanding of China's influence in Southeast Asia. Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China, such as private businesses and Chinese migrants. These actors affect people's perception of China in a variety of ways, and they often have wide-ranging as well as long-lasting effects on bilateral relations. Looking beyond the Chinese state's intentional influence reveals many situations that result in unanticipated changes in Southeast Asia. Han proposes that to understand this increasingly globalized China, we need more conceptual flexibility regarding which Chinese actors are important to China's relations, and how they wield this influence, whether intentional or not.
