Sinossi

Oral Tradition explores how cultures worldwide preserved their histories and knowledge without writing. It argues that oral traditions aren't just imperfect versions of written history, but dynamic systems for preserving, adapting, and transmitting knowledge. These traditions rely on sophisticated mnemonic devices and narrative structures. For instance, complex legal systems and intricate historical accounts were maintained across generations through storytelling, song, and ritual performance. The book examines the social roles and institutions that maintained oral knowledge, such as the training of storytellers and the function of councils of elders. It also delves into how colonialism and globalization have impacted these traditions. The book progresses by first introducing fundamental concepts, then exploring specific techniques for preserving information, and finally analyzing the impact of societal changes. By drawing on anthropological studies, linguistic analysis, and historical accounts, Oral Tradition highlights the ingenuity and resilience of oral cultures. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing the unique contributions of these cultures to our understanding of history and human cognition. It challenges conventional narratives that prioritize written records, providing a comprehensive look at these invaluable cultural resources.

    "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is a book written by Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, in 1852. The book analyzes the political situation in France during the mid-19th century and provides a critique of the bourgeois republicanism that had taken hold there. 
    The title of the book refers to the date of the coup d'état in which Louis Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, seized power in France. Marx used this event as a lens through which to examine the larger historical forces that had led to the rise of Louis Bonaparte and the decline of the bourgeois republic. 
    In the book, Marx argues that the bourgeois republic had failed to address the fundamental economic and social problems facing France, and that this failure had paved the way for the rise of a new form of authoritarian rule. He believed that the only way to truly address these problems was through a proletarian revolution that would overthrow the capitalist system. 
    "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is considered to be one of Marx's most important works, and it has had a significant impact on the field of political theory. The book's analysis of the relationship between economic and political power has influenced generations of scholars and activists, and it continues to be studied and debated to this day.

    The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
