Beschreibung

Indigenous vs Western examines how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Western science can work together to address complex environmental issues. It highlights the strengths and limitations of both systems, noting that TEK offers long-term observational data and place-based knowledge often missed by Western science's quantitative analysis. Understanding the historical context, including colonialism's impact on indigenous knowledge, is crucial for respectful collaboration. This book explores how integrating TEK and Western science can lead to more effective environmental solutions. For example, while Western science uses predictive modeling, TEK provides crucial insights into biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation. The book progresses by first introducing the core principles of both TEK and Western science, then examining case studies of successful integration, and finally addressing the challenges of incorporating TEK into policy. By using diverse sources, including ethnographic studies and community-based research, Indigenous vs Western provides a balanced, evidence-based approach. It emphasizes the importance of considering both quantitative data and qualitative insights from indigenous knowledge holders. This interdisciplinary approach makes it a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in a more comprehensive understanding of environmental stewardship.

    There are many foods and supplements which help control or reduce blood sugar. As a Type 2 Diabetic myself this is important information.  
    This is why I put this book together to cover all the types of foods, drinks, and supplements which would be good for me to make as part of my diet. 
    There are various foods you can eat which either slow sugar absorption or reduce blood sugar entirely by reducing insulin resistance. 
    A number of natural supplements also are keys to reducing blood sugar. 
    I’ve also included technical information on how these substances actually work.

    What do we really know about our cousins, the Neanderthals? For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different—and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours. 
     
     
     
    Slimak has travelled around the world for the past thirty years to uncover who the Neanderthals really were. A modern-day Indiana Jones, he takes us on a fascinating archaeological investigation: from the Arctic Circle to the deep Mediterranean forests, he traces the steps of these enigmatic creatures, working to decipher their real stories through every single detail they left behind. 
     
     
     
    A thought-provoking adventure story, The Naked Neanderthal shifts our understanding of deep history—and in the process reveals just how much we have yet to learn.

    Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

    Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
     
     
     
    Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.

    As environmental, political, and public health crises multiply on Earth, we are also at the dawn of a new space race in which governments team up with celebrity billionaires to exploit the cosmos for human gain. The best-known of these pioneers are selling different visions of the future: while Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to establish a human presence on Mars, Jeff Bezos and Blue Origin work toward moving millions of earthlings into rotating near-Earth habitats. Despite these distinctions, these two billionaires share a core utopian project: the salvation of humanity through the exploitation of space. 
     
     
      
    In Astrotopia, philosopher of science and religion Mary-Jane Rubenstein pulls back the curtain on the not-so-new myths these space barons are peddling, like growth without limit, energy without guilt, and salvation in a brand-new world. As Rubenstein reveals, we have already seen the destructive effects of this frontier zealotry in the centuries-long history of European colonialism. But Rubenstein does more than expose the values of capitalist technoscience as the product of bad mythologies. She offers a vision of exploring space without reproducing the atrocities of earthly colonialism, encouraging us to find and even make stories that put cosmic caretaking over profiteering.
