  Excavated from a waterlogged archaeological site on the shores of subtropical Florida by legendary anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896, the Key Marco Cat has become a modern icon of heritage, history, and local identity. This book takes listeners into the deep past of the artifact and the Native American society in which it was created. 
   
   
   
  Austin Bell explores nine periods in the life of the six-inch-high wooden carving, beginning with how it was sculpted with shell and shark-tooth tools and what it may have represented to the ancient Calusa—perhaps a human-panther god. Preserved in the muck for centuries on Marco Island and discovered in pristine condition due to its oxygen-free environment, the Cat has since traveled more than 12,000 miles and has been viewed by millions of people. In this fascinating account, Bell traces the clues to the Cat's mysterious origins that have emerged in its later lives. 
   
   
   
  Captivating listeners with the miracle and beauty of this rare example of pre-Columbian art, Bell marvels at how an object originally understood to hold cosmological power has indeed transformed the people and places around it. The Nine Lives of Florida's Famous Key Marco Cat is the story of a timeless masterpiece of staggering simplicity that has prevailed over impossibly long odds.

  This work provides an in-depth and critical analysis of the interrelationships between neoliberalism, globalization, and the resurgence of nationalism in the 21st century. It explores the origins and theoretical foundations of neoliberalism, highlighting the contributions of influential theorists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, and examines its political rise through the administrations of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. The book investigates how economic globalization has expanded neoliberal policies, affecting both developed and developing economies, and analyzes the social and cultural consequences, including the exacerbation of inequality and the crisis of the welfare state. As neoliberal policies advanced, rising inequality and social dissatisfaction fueled the resurgence of nationalist and populist movements in various regions of the world. The book offers a detailed study of these movements, analyzing their causes and implications in the global context. Additionally, it discusses the tensions between globalist and nationalist ideologies, addressing issues such as protectionism, economic nationalism, and the challenges to neoliberal free trade. In the final chapter, the work proposes new global governance models aimed at reconciling national demands with global needs in a context of increasing ideological polarization. With a comprehensive and critical approach, this book is essential reading for academics, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the contemporary challenges shaping global politics and economics.
