Sinossi

Native Copper Tools explores the remarkable story of how indigenous peoples in pre-Columbian North America crafted sophisticated tools from raw copper. These artifacts offer a window into their societies, technologies, and beliefs.

 
The book emphasizes how indigenous metallurgists located geological sources of native copper and employed techniques like cold-working and annealing to shape the metal, creating implements for various purposes, from hunting and fishing to ceremonial rituals.

 
One fascinating insight is how the Great Lakes region provided unusually pure copper sources, allowing for advanced metalworking. Another is that copper tools were not merely utilitarian; they held ritual and status value, reflecting complex social structures.

 
The book examines the geological origins of copper, the metallurgical processes involved, and the cultural significance of the tools. It presents detailed analyses of copper artifacts found across North America, drawing on archaeological excavations, geological surveys, and metallurgical analyses.

 
This approach combines archaeological findings with modern science to understand the technological processes used by indigenous populations. The book progresses from discussing copper procurement to explaining metalworking techniques and then exploring the cultural context, culminating in a holistic understanding of native copper technology's role in shaping indigenous life.

Shepherd's Sight - A Farming Life

Barbara McLean

A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
 
 
 
For fifty years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd's Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her seventies, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction. 
 
 
 
Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
 
 
 
With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd's Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

Where is My F***N Leg?!

David Macintosh

Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.
