Summary

Snow Trails Glow examines the snowmobile's transformative impact on Inuit hunting practices and Arctic regions, revealing how a single machine altered a centuries-old way of life. This exploration of modernization highlights the complex interplay between technology, culture, and ecology, relevant to many indigenous cultures. The book reveals that, while snowmobiles increased hunting efficiency, they also led to social, economic, and environmental shifts. One such shift involves the increased hunting range impacting animal populations.

 
The book begins by outlining traditional Inuit hunting methods and their sustainability. It then transitions into the adoption of snowmobiles and their immediate benefits, before delving into subsequent shifts in hunting patterns, resource management, and social dynamics. Snow Trails Glow utilizes oral histories, ethnographic studies, and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis of the cultural preservation, environmental impact, and economic dependency linked to snowmobile use.

 
Ultimately, it advocates for culturally sensitive approaches to technology adoption and resource management, offering valuable insights for sustainable development in the Arctic.

    The birth of psychiatry in the early nineteenth-century fundamentally changed how madness was categorized and understood. A century on, their conceptions of mental illness continue to influence our views today. Beliefs and behavior were divided up into the pathological and the healthy. The influence of religion and the supernatural became significant measures of insanity in individuals, countries, and cultures. Psychiatrists not only thought they could transform society in the industrial age but also explain the many strange beliefs expressed in the distant past. Troubled by Faith explores these ideas about the supernatural across society through the prism of medical history. It is a story of how people continued to make sense of the world in supernatural terms, and how belief came to be a medical issue. This cannot be done without exploring the lives of those who found themselves in asylums because of their belief in ghosts, witches, angels, devils, and fairies, or because they thought themselves in divine communication or were haunted by modern technology. The beliefs expressed by asylum patients were not just an expression of their individual mental health, but also provide a unique reflection of society at the time—a world still steeped in the ideas and imagery of folklore and faith in a fast-changing world.

    Atlantis is known across the world as a tale from fable. But is this really the truth? 
     
    Wherever we go and into whatever cultural history we delve, we discover a story similar to the one we know about Atlantis. Why would this be? 
     
    Finding the key to this strange conundrum is something thousands of men and women across the globe have struggled to do. But there are good reasons for their lack of concrete discovery. They have all been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong people and for the wrong thing. For too long historians have focused on a few words left to us by Plato and misunderstood what he was really telling us. The fact is, even Plato didn't understand what had been told to him. 
     
    But what about joining the dots? Across the world there are remnants and legends of a mystical past, left undiscovered by our misunderstanding. The real Atlantis can and will only be discovered by seeing the bigger picture. Because Atlantis is all around you right now.
