Sinopse

Kukui Nut Oil explores the profound cultural and scientific significance of kukui nut oil in Hawai'i. This narrative journeys through the oil's historical uses, from its symbolic role representing enlightenment to its practical applications in traditional Hawaiian life. The book uniquely blends ethnobotany with scientific analysis, revealing how indigenous knowledge offers sustainable solutions. Did you know that traditionally, the kukui tree was viewed as a symbol of guidance, or that the oil was used for lighting, medicine, and even as a protective coating? The book progresses from the kukui tree's cultural roots and historical importance, then moves into the oil's chemical properties and extraction. Subsequent chapters explore the oil's role in medicine, skincare, and other crafts, culminating with a discussion of sustainable cultivation. By combining historical accounts and scientific research, the book emphasizes how kukui nut oil exemplifies a holistic approach to well-being, relevant in today's world of ecological awareness.

    During the Space Race, many people envisioned a future in which space travel would be a common undertaking for ordinary citizens. Just as riding in an airplane was once a daring endeavor, travel by rocket could be refined and made safer over time. That collective aspiration to someday take part in dreams NASA brought to life was integral to inspiring public interest in the space program. However, in the years following Apollo 11 in 1969, popular enthusiasm for space travel waned, and dreams of vacationing like the Jetsons gave way to more grounded goals. The level of interest NASA enjoyed would never again be comparable to the culturally defining moments of the agency’s most celebrated missions during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Programs.  
    	Nonetheless, in 1972 and 1973, NASA sent nine astronauts to spend extended periods of time living in a craft named Skylab, the very first experimental American space station. Though Skylab would not last long, and the International Space Station remains far more famous, Skylab’s history is one of ingenuity and challenge, as well as how NASA found itself without a mission after the triumph of the Apollo Program.

    Lanka Da Cheetah Prabhakaran is a book that serves as an important document for nations around the world that are engaged in struggle. I believe this book has two main features: first, it presents the struggle-filled life of the world-renowned leader Prabhakaran; second, it is written by Prof. Harpal Singh Pannu, making it both a historical account and a guide. It is especially valuable for Sikhs and anyone interested in learning about the global national movements. This book is essential reading and reflection for those interested in understanding the struggles of different communities across the world. 
    You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

    Three-time New York Times bestselling author Dan Ariely teams up with legendary The New Yorker cartoonist William Haefeli to present an expanded, illustrated collection of his immensely popularWall Street Journal advice column, “Ask Ariely”. 
    Behavioral economist Dan Ariely revolutionized the way we think about ourselves, our minds, and our actions in his books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty. Ariely applies this scientific analysis of the human condition in his “Ask Ariely” Q & A column in the Wall Street Journal, in which he responds to readers who write in with personal conundrums ranging from the serious to the curious:   What can you do to stay calm when you’re playing the volatile stock market?   What’s the best way to get someone to stop smoking?   How can you maximize the return on your investment at an all-you-can-eat buffet?   Is it possible to put a price on the human soul?   Can you ever rationally justify spending thousands of dollars on a Rolex? 
    In Ask Ariely, a broad variety of economic, ethical, and emotional dilemmas are explored and addressed through text and images. Using their trademark insight and wit, Ariely and Haefeli help us reflect on how we can reason our way through external and internal challenges.  Readers will laugh, learn, and most importantly gain a new perspective on how to deal with the inevitable problems that plague our daily life.

    The Lost World of Byzantium

    The acclaimed author of Byzantium and the Crusades "offers a fresh take on this fabled but hidden civilization" across eleven centuries of history (Colin Wells). 
     
     
      
    For more than a millennium, the Byzantine Empire presided over the juncture between East and West, as well as the transition from the classical to the modern world. Rather than recounting the standard chronology of emperors and battles, leading Byzantium scholar Jonathan Harris focuses on a succession of archetypal figures, families, places, and events. 
     
     
      
    Harris's introduction presents a civilization rich in contrasts, combining orthodox Christianity with paganism, and classical Greek learning with Roman power. Though frequently assailed by numerous armies, Byzantium survived by dint of its unorthodox foreign policy. Over time, its sumptuous art and architecture flourished, helping to establish a deep sense of Byzantine identity in its people. 
     
     
      
    Synthesizing a wealth of sources to cover all major aspects of the empire's social, political, military, religious, cultural, and artistic history, Harris's study illuminates the heart of Byzantine civilization and explores its remarkable and lasting influence on the modern world.
