Sinopse

Stone Age Tech explores the remarkable technological innovations of our early human ancestors during the Stone Age. It highlights how they transformed raw stone into sophisticated tools, fundamentally altering their relationship with the environment. The book delves into the evolution of stone tool manufacturing, showcasing techniques like stone knapping, and the diverse applications of these tools in daily life. It also examines the cognitive advancements that underpinned these technological leaps, revealing how early humans' problem-solving skills paved the way for civilization. For example, the development of the Levallois technique in the Middle Paleolithic allowed for the production of more standardized and controlled flakes, demonstrating significant cognitive and technological progress. The book progresses systematically, beginning with the basic concepts of stone tool technology and the types of stone used, such as flint and obsidian. It then moves through the different periods of the Stone Age, from the simple core tools of the Lower Paleolithic to the specialized toolkits of the Upper Paleolithic and the ground stone tools of the Neolithic. Drawing on archaeological evidence from key sites and experimental archaeology, the book reconstructs Stone Age technological practices. This interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeology with insights from anthropology, cognitive science, and materials science, provides a comprehensive understanding of Stone Age technology and its lasting impact on human societies.

Pandemic Panic - How Canadian...

Joanna Baron, Christine Van Geyn

In October 2022, the economist Emily Oster wrote a plea for a “pandemic amnesty.” After detailing various ill-conceived public health policies throughout the pandemic, Oster concluded that “The standard saying is that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But dwelling on the mistakes of history can lead to a repetitive doom loop as well.” She reasoned that many admittedly poor, public health decisions were made in an information vacuum and that the salubrious thing to do going forward would be to forgive and forget.
		 
Oster was concerned about the fraying social fabric because of polarizing online discourse and urged the need to move forward. However, our anecdotal experience has shown a second common response to pandemic mishaps—going blank entirely on what occurred during the pandemic. We have observed a phenomenon of the surreal, sometimes inane, often unprecedented and unusual public health measures taken over the roughly three-year pandemic period being a “memory hole,” where the mind completely fogs over. Many times in the course of writing this book, we have messaged one another upon unearthing one public policy absurdity upon another: the City of Toronto taping off cherry blossoms, Quebec requiring unvaccinated people to be chaperoned in plexiglass carts through the essential aisles of big-box stores.
		 
We are not psychologists, but no doubt there is an evolutionary benefit to allowing a collective trauma to dissolve into the slip-stream: it is unproductive to dwell on how we got by and how our government coped in real-time. Our memories are warped, first, by the “primacy effect” our tendency to remember “firsts” exemplified by people universally naming George Washington when asked to recall former U.S. presidents. Most people have a crystal clear memory of the moment their plague year started in earnest; for us and many others; it was March 11, 2020, the day the NBA suspended games for the rest of the season.

Book 1 Bricks that Build Us -...

Rob Howat

Ideas build and destroy civilizations. Things are not going well. The need for action is now. After thousands of years of human development, our humanity seems to be intent upon disassembling itself with WOKE, Politically Correct thought police, rejected lessons from history and art, ‘book burning’, minorities DICTATING how we live and what we MUST think, riots, homelessness or helplessness and political polarizations with open conflicts and theft in our streets. How to revitalize harmonious existence, individual respect, laws equally for us all, and spirituality either via religion or constructive logic. So to create the conditions for cooperative, harmonious, self-disciplined inter-personal life: a return to greater stability of both mind and action working together for the good of communities and an increasingly interdependent World Social Family. 
This building and rebuilding process will take generations, the current alternative will be humanity’s exit which would be both painful and permanent. This need not be. We each can learn so confidently form a renewal of our children’s real future but only by rebuilding our thought processes, awareness, and understanding with and through calm debate, discussion, and sharing of mind.  
Industry, agriculture, and the use of both people’s time and natural abilities matter greatly: smaller could well be far more beneficial. Creating public demand to raise output and income too often leads to waste and even harm while generating wealth for a minority, too many of whom are amoral or undeserving.  
What is reality other than what we decide it to be? All stems from family upbringing, mental inputs and experiences; educational practices, understood beliefs, the free flow of ideas; respecting other's thoughts, and community actions, which all coalesce into formed concepts and so beliefs. These and more build our minds, humour, fears and needs. These are the very Bricks that Build Us
