Sinopsis

"New Guinea" explores the intricate history of an island shaped by ancient tribal customs, colonial influences, and World War II. The book delves into the island's profound tribal diversity, the impact of colonial rule by German, British, and Australian powers, and its strategic role during global conflicts. It reveals how New Guinea's unique blend of isolation and global interaction makes its history essential for understanding cultural resilience and the legacies of colonialism.

 
The book begins by laying the historical and cultural groundwork, examining the origins and evolution of New Guinea's diverse tribal groups and their adaptability. It then meticulously details the arrival and impact of European colonial powers, focusing on their administrative policies and the resistance movements that emerged.

 
Transitioning to World War II, the book examines the strategic battles fought on New Guinea's rugged terrain and the devastating impact on the indigenous population. This approach highlights the island's often overlooked significance in geopolitical strategy.

 
Concluding with an assessment of New Guinea's post-colonial development, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach by integrating historical analysis with anthropological, political, and environmental perspectives. By weaving together historical accounts, anthropological insights, and military analyses, the book constructs a holistic view of this complex region. It challenges conventional narratives and offers a nuanced account of New Guinea's history.

    At a time when popular solutions to the educational plight of poor children of color are imposed from the outside, the acclaimed Algebra Project and its founder, Robert Moses, offer a vision of school reform based in the power of communities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities—parents, teachers, and especially students—to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity. 
     
     
     
    Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize: "Everyone said sharecroppers didn't want to vote. It wasn't until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they don't want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they don't want." 
     
     
     
    We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the city's middle-class flagship school in just three years.

    “A good boy like you deserves a treat.” A thin smile forms on Soren’s lips. 
    Alric steps forward and collapses upon his knees. His eyes widen as he gazes up at the gold talisman in Soren’s hands, the heavy sapphire in the center shimmering seductively. The incubus closes his eyes, channeling some sort of dark energy into the artifact. 
    Heart pounding, Alric watches as a vile monstrosity is released from the relic. This is his reward…his reward for committing perverse, wicked acts in his master’s name.

    Read by the author, Michael BondFans takes you on a journey into the world of superfans – in all of its strange, sometimes dark, and complicated forms.'A celebration of human idiosyncrasy and of our talent for building shared meaning and solidarity out of the strangest material' – TLSFascinating and thought-provoking, Fans is a story of communities, of what happens to us when we interact with people who share our passions. The human brain is wired to reach out, and while our groupish tendencies can bring much strife (religious intolerance, racism, war, etc.), they are also the source of some of our greatest satisfactions.Fandoms offer much of the pleasure of tribalism with little of the harm: a feeling of belonging and of shared culture, a sense of meaning and purpose, improved mental well-being, reassurance that our most outlandish convictions will be taken seriously, and the freedom to try to emulate (and dress like) our hero.But acclaimed science writer Michael Bond shows that despite these benefits, the world of fandoms is not without its dark underside, from the “copycat effect” fuelling mass shootings to the delusions that can accompany the parasocial relationships that fans feel they have with their heroes.In Fans, Michael Bond draws on the work of social psychologists and anthropologists to understand how people behave in groups and why such groups have such a profound effect on human culture.
