Sinopse

In "The Instinct of Workmanship and the State of Industrial Arts," Thorstein Veblen explores the intricate relationship between human instinct and industrial productivity, challenging the prevailing economic theories of his time. With a keen analytical lens, Veblen critiques the capitalist framework and its impact on the art of craftsmanship, arguing for the inherent human desire to create and improve. The book employs a rich, analytical style, blending sociology and economics to underscore the significance of workmanship in the industrial age while advocating for a return to a more creative approach to work, rather than viewing it merely as a means of subsistence or profit. Thorstein Veblen, a prominent American economist and social theorist, emerged in a time marked by rapid industrialization and profound social change. His own experiences within the capitalist society and profound interest in social behavior led him to examine how these institutions affected the human capacity for craftsmanship. Veblen's background in both sociology and economics fundamentally shaped his critiques of economic practices, making him a significant figure in the development of institutional economics. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the sociocultural implications of industrial practices today. Veblen's insights resonate with contemporary discussions about the role of creativity and craftsmanship in a technology-driven economy, making this work both timely and relevant.

    The following 3 books are contained in this audiobook: 
    1: The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate. 
    The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances. 
    2: The Pawnee are a Central Plains Indian people that used to live in Nebraska and Kansas, yet now call Oklahoma home. They are now called the Pawnee Country of Oklahoma, and its head offices are at Pawnee, Oklahoma. Their Pawnee language belongs to the Caddoan family, and they're called Chatiks si chatiks, or "Men of Men." 
    The Pawnee used to live in earth lodge towns near the Loup, Republican Politician, and South Platte rivers. Throughout the year, the Pawnee people economy turned between producing crops and buffalo searching. 
    3: The Sioux, also called the Oceti Sakowin are a North American people of Native American tribe and First Countries tribes. The contemporary Sioux are split into 2 significant groups based upon language: Dakota and Lakota; they're called together as the Ohéthi akówi ("7 Council Fires"). The term "Sioux" is an exonym stemmed from a French transliteration of the Ojibwe term "Nadouessioux," and can apply to any ethnic group or language dialect within the Great Sioux Country.

    A birder strolling in Central Park. A college student lounging on a university quad. Two men sitting in a coffee shop. Perfectly ordinary actions in ordinary settings—and yet, they sparked jarring and inflammatory responses that involved the police and attracted national media coverage. Why? In essence, Elijah Anderson would argue, because these were Black people existing in white spaces. 
     
     
      
    In Black in White Space, Anderson brings his immense knowledge and ethnography to bear in this timely study of the racial barriers that are still firmly entrenched in our society at every class level. He focuses in on symbolic racism, a new form of racism in America caused by the stubbornly powerful stereotype of the ghetto embedded in the white imagination, which subconsciously connects all Black people with crime and poverty regardless of their social or economic position. White people typically avoid Black space, but Black people are required to navigate the "white space" as a condition of their existence. 
     
     
      
    An unwavering truthteller in our national conversation on race, Anderson has shared intimate and sharp insights into Black life for decades. Vital and eye-opening, Black in White Space will be a must-listen for anyone hoping to understand the lived realities of Black people and the structural underpinnings of racism in America.

    "The Causes of the Rebellion in Ireland Disclosed" is a pamphlet written anonymously that analyzes the causes and motivations behind the 1798 Irish Rebellion against British rule. 
    The pamphlet argues that the rebellion was not a spontaneous uprising, but rather the result of a combination of factors that had been building up over time. These factors included economic hardship, religious tensions, and a growing sense of Irish nationalism and desire for independence from British rule. 
    The pamphlet also examines the role of the United Irishmen, a political group that had been working towards Irish independence, and argues that their efforts were instrumental in organizing the rebellion. Additionally, the pamphlet discusses the role of British policies in exacerbating the tensions that led to the rebellion, including the Penal Laws and the suppression of Irish trade. 
    Overall, "The Causes of the Rebellion in Ireland Disclosed" provides a detailed analysis of the factors that led to the 1798 Irish Rebellion, shedding light on a significant event in Irish history and the ongoing struggle for independence from British rule.

    The Unindexed Mind: Footnotes from the Storm is the follow-up to the original chaos—part journal, part philosophy, part stand-up set written in the eye of a hurricane. This isn't self-help. It's self-interrogation. These are rants, reflections, and stories collected from the trenches of working-class America and the cluttered corners of a mind that refuses to be simplified. From conspiracy logic to retail breakdowns, from profound loneliness to sudden laughter in the face of it—this is not a polished manifesto. It's a footnote collection from a storm you didn't know you were in. If you're tired of curated wisdom and sanitized thinking, step inside. This book won't save you. But it might help you feel a little less insane.

    Disability and Political Representation explores how disabled people experience the various stages and aspects of the representation process, drawing upon extensive empirical research and a variety of qualitative and quantitative data. It discusses why increasing the number of disabled politicians matters, not only as a matter of justice and equality but also to better represent the issues and interests of importance to disabled people. 
     
     
     
    Evans and Reher identify a variety of ableist barriers that prevent disabled people from fully participating in the political process, from disenfranchisement and inaccessible polling stations to prejudice within parties and a lack of financial support for candidates who require adjustments. The work shows that while the preferences of disabled citizens are currently under-represented in parliament, disabled representatives often draw on their lived experience to advocate for their interests. The concept of experiential representation is developed to help scholars and practitioners better navigate the concept of political representation, specifically as it relates to disability.
