Sinopse

Cave Dwelling Today explores the surprising persistence of living in natural caves in the modern world, moving beyond stereotypical views to examine the motivations and adaptations of contemporary cave dwellers. This book sheds light on cave dwelling not as a primitive relic, but as a conscious choice driven by diverse factors like seeking affordable housing, pursuing spiritual retreats, or preserving cultural heritage. The book unveils how these communities manage resources and maintain social structures, challenging conventional ideas of progress and successful lifestyles.

The book uniquely combines anthropology, earth sciences, and geography to understand this phenomenon. It investigates the cultural and economic dimensions, showing how cave dwellers adapt to their environment through sustainable practices. For instance, the book analyzes how geological formations influence microclimates within caves, impacting resource availability. By presenting case studies from around the world, Cave Dwelling Today demonstrates the resilience and adaptability of cave communities.

The book progresses from defining contemporary cave habitation to examining its social, cultural, and economic aspects, culminating in a discussion of its implications for sustainable development and cultural preservation. This interdisciplinary approach makes the book valuable for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in alternative lifestyles, offering insights into sustainable living and community development.

Shareware Heroes - The renegades...

Richard Moss

Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history 
 
 
 
Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet takes listeners on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players—the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames—through to the significance of shareware for the "forgotten" systems—the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga—when commercial game publishers turned away from them. 
 
 
 
This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian), or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart), or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.
