Book excerpt: Que savons-nous de la femme de la Préhistoire ? Trente-trois des plus grands spécialistes mondiaux (préhistoriens, anthropologues, archéologues, ethnologues, généticiens) tentent de répondre à la question dans cette enquête inédite. Chapitre après chapitre, les idées reçues et les préjugés sont déconstruits, preuves à l'appui, afin de redonner à Lady Sapiens toute sa place dans l'histoire de l'humanité. On la croyait faible et sans défense, on la découvre chasseresse, combative et puissante. On la pensait bestiale et primaire, la science révèle qu'elle maîtrisait de nombreux savoirs et prenait soin de son corps et de son apparence. On l'imaginait soumise, elle était respectée, honorée, vénérée... Son souffle, ses pas, ses gestes retrouvés, nous invitent à redécouvrir l'histoire de nos origines. Une histoire sensible et plus juste de femmes et d'hommes unis dans une destinée commune dont nous sommes les héritiers. Et si l'âge de glace était aussi l'âge de la femme ?

Book excerpt: “And in the end, hope survives ....” Sapiens is already dreading taking on the mantle of his father’s kingdom when the safe foundations of his life begin to crumble. As ancient prophecy echoes through time, Sapiens finds himself fighting to survive secrets that threaten not only to shape his future but end it. A prince who never wanted to be king. A tutor hiding dangerous truths. A woman back from the dead with a message. A unicorn brought to life for a single mission. A vengeful duke and an elf ready to burn the world down. A kingdom on the edge, caught between political unrest and otherworldly threats. And a realm hidden from mortal eyes, where words can travel miles in a whisper and dreams hold glimpses of the future. As dark magic stirs, can Sapiens protect his country, or will his destiny prove stronger than duty?
Download or read book Wild Woman written by Philippa Forrester and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging blend of conservation stories and humorous, personal anecdotes from Philippa Forrester about women who, like her, choose to live and work in the wild. Surviving in the wilderness has long been associated with men, and conservation and environmental biology have traditionally been male-dominated subjects. Yet many remarkable women also choose to live and work in wild and challenging landscapes. In Wild Woman, Philippa Forrester considers the grit and determination required for women to maintain connections to wildlife and shares stories of female conservation heroes and other extraordinary wild women working in nature. Talking to women from around the world, Philippa studies and celebrates what it means to be a wild woman. From the sixteenth-century botanist who was the first woman to circumnavigate the globe to modern-day women responding to bear attacks in Yellowstone, working to rewild reserves in South Africa, photographing Caribou in the Arctic and more, Philippa examines how these women benefit from a life spent in the wilderness and also considers what the natural world gains from them. Relating some of her own experiences from three decades spent travelling around the world and working in some of the wildest places on Earth, Philippa asks: what does it take for a woman to live or work in the wild?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost seven billion people roam the earth. Although we have different beliefs, lifestyles and physical characteristics, there are patterns of behavior that we all share. We also share the same building blocks of lifeDNA, RNA, and proteins.

Author Dr. Robert Kerin explores the theories of well known scholars such as Thomas Robert Malthus, Alfred Wallace, and Charles Darwin, along with other theorists, such as Dr. Robert Lifton, who has written extensively about genocide and the Nazis. Additionally, he discusses the role of religion and mythology in the development of humanity, the differences between intelligent design and evolution, the reasons humanity is prone to violence, and the ways in which authority affects behavior. Join Dr. Kerin as he explores our similarities, differences, strengths, and weaknesses. Develop a deeper understanding of who we are with A Glimpse into the Man in Mankind.
Book Synopsis Purple Brains by : Annabelle Dufourcq
Download or read book Purple Brains written by Annabelle Dufourcq and published by Radboud University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist philosophy seems to always exceed its own limits – it is dynamic, shifting, and in dialogue with other academic disciplines. The adjective “feminist” marks not so much a specific subfield of philosophy or topic that is studied, but a political sensibility, an engagement in practicing philosophy. The playful title ‘Purple Brains’ indicates a thinking that goes beyond established binaries, notably the gender binary signified by the colors pink and blue. As feminists, we face the challenge of finding our own place and inventing ways to understand and overcome discrimination and exclusion. Situated within a world we want to change, feminists cannot afford to reject unlikely interlocutors out of hand, but must instead engage in interdisciplinary, intergenerational and cross-fertilizing dialogues. This volume brings together 19 articles that practice feminist philosophy through an engagement with the work of Dutch philosopher Veronica Vasterling. As one of the pioneering women philosophers active in Dutch academia since the mid-1980s, Vasterling explicitly expanded her outlook to embrace feminist themes and authors. She stands out as a prominent figure in the exploration of the boundaries of feminism through critical dialogue across multiple perspectives. Her work not only explores neuropsychology through a feminist lens but also extends into domains such as critical phenomenology of gender and race, critical hermeneutics, and subjects including sexual difference, the philosophical oeuvre of Hannah Arendt, and that of Judith Butler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They migrated not only with the language they spoke and their DNAs but also with their cows, bulls and buffaloes. With them went their dogs, chicken and goats. They carried with them the seeds of barley and rice and wheat. And the mice and shrews followed them. They spread the pottery and the figurines, the art and culture of India to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Israel and further west. This is the story of out-of-India migration of the farmers between 8000 BCE to 1500 BCE from Mehrgarh and the later Harappa Civilization located in the Indus-Sarasvati Valley of Northwest India, from Vindhya region, and the Ganga Valley in Central India and from the Brahmaputra Valley of Assam. Based on archaeological records of not only India, but also China, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Levant, and the genetic studies of man, animals and plants, both modern and ancient.

Appropriate citations and detailed bibliography, as well as a subject index, have been provided. The book lays to rest the speculative type of prehistory of India and the Aryan Invasion hypothesis.

Book Synopsis The Practical Geologist by : Garret Romaine
Download or read book The Practical Geologist written by Garret Romaine and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geology is destiny—understand it and life gets easier. Our ancestors grasped enough about their environment to fashion tools, start fires, erect shelters, and find water. The principles they discovered long ago still apply, and the science behind stronger concrete, usable marble, and more pure metals still stands. The ancients were the first rockhounds out of necessity, and the skills they perfected resonate from medicine to sanitation, from pottery to food preservation. The Practical Geologist traces the impact of geology on the first toolmakers in their trek toward civilization and details how understanding geology allowed for advances in agriculture, construction, weaponry, and the arts. The hacks, shortcuts, and rules described here are still vital for not just homesteaders, campers, hikers, and survivalists—the same geological factors assist us all as we struggle with ever-changing global conditions and reach for the stars. Using full-color pictures, tables, diagrams, and simple language, The Practical Geologist covers the basics of geology and applies them directly to everyday situations, serving as a practical guide to co-existing in the physical world.
Book Synopsis Primitive Communism Is Not What It Used to Be by : Christophe Darmangeat
Download or read book Primitive Communism Is Not What It Used to Be written by Christophe Darmangeat and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-07-04 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When was male domination established in human societies, and why did it take hold? How does humanity's most remote past inform today's feminist struggle? This new, updated edition of Primitive Communism Is Not What It Used to Be – available for the first time in English translation – represents a timely contribution to the debate, drawing on the accumulated knowledge of ethnology and archaeology. While noting the many outdated aspects of Morgan and Engels' seminal work, this vast synthesis, guided by a rigorous materialist approach, renews Marxist analysis on a theme that is at once remote and pressingly topical.

Book Synopsis Dante's Two Beloveds by : Olivia Holmes
Download or read book Dante's Two Beloveds written by Olivia Holmes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-examining key passages in Dante’s oeuvre in the light of the crucial issue of moral choice, this book provides a new thematic framework for interpreting the Divine Comedy. Olivia Holmes shows how Dante articulated the relationship between the human and the divine as an erotic choice between two attractive women—Beatrice and the “other woman.” Investigating the traditions and archetypes that contributed to the formation of Dante’s two beloveds, Holmes shows how Dante brilliantly overlaid and combined these paradigms in his poem. In doing so he re-imagined the two women as not merely oppositional condensations of apparently conflicting cultural traditions but also complementary versions of the same. This visionary insight sheds new light on Dante’s corpus and on the essential paradox at the poem’s heart: the unabashed eroticism of Dante’s turn away from the earthly in favor of the divine.

Book Synopsis English Women’s Spiritual Utopias, 1400-1700 by : Alexandra Verini
Download or read book English Women’s Spiritual Utopias, 1400-1700 written by Alexandra Verini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Women’s Spiritual Utopias, 1400-1700: New Kingdoms of Womanhood uncovers a tradition of women’s utopianism that extends back to medieval women’s monasticism, overturning accounts of utopia that trace its origins solely to Thomas More. As enclosed spaces in which women wielded authority that was unavailable to them in the outside world, medieval and early modern convents were self-consciously engaged in reworking pre-existing cultural heritage to project desired proto-feminist futures. The utopianism developed within the English convent percolated outwards to unenclosed women's spiritual communities such as Mary Ward's Institute of the Blessed Virgin and the Ferrar family at Little Gidding. Convent-based utopianism further acted as an unrecognized influence on the first English women’s literary utopias by authors such as Margaret Cavendish and Mary Astell. Collectively, these female communities forged a mode of utopia that drew on the past to imagine new possibilities for themselves as well as for their larger religious and political communities. Tracking utopianism from the convent to the literary page over a period of 300 years, New Kingdoms writes a new history of medieval and early modern women’s intellectual work and expands the concept of utopia itself.
Book Synopsis From Apes to Cyborgs by : Claudio Tuniz
Download or read book From Apes to Cyborgs written by Claudio Tuniz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers fascinating insights into the lives of our ancestors and investigates the dynamic processes that led to the establishment of complex human societies. It provides a holistic view of human history and social evolution by drawing on the latest evidence from a wide range of disciplines and proposes new hypotheses on the origins of human behaviour. After exploration of the encounters of Homo sapiens with other human species, diverse aspects of life in emerging societies are examined, including clothing, work, leisure, learning, diet, disease, and the role of women. Attention is drawn to the key role of self-domestication – the process of reducing natural aggression and increasing playfulness – in enabling survival. Another focus is Homo oeconomicus. The significance of symbolic thought for the emergence of surpluses in goods and services is highlighted, with analysis of how this led to private accumulation of wealth and development of the first hierarchical societies. Finally, the discussion turns to humans of the future and the potential risks posed by artificial intelligence. The aim is to unveil the deep roots of our social behaviour and how it is going to intertwine with the development of digital technologies and social networks.
