Rating: 5

Review: Having lived and worked in remote communities of Australia, I came to appreciate the knowledge of the first people of Australia. This book is a great contribution to the wider society and desmistify the idea that there was no scientific knowledge to be considered on the "stories" of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. THANK YOU - wonderful book

Review: Written with so many languages for different things that it completely disrupts the flow. Too hard and complicated to read and enjoy.

    Description: Our eyes have been drawn away from the skies to our screens. We no longer look to the stars to forecast the weather, predict the seasons or plant our gardens. Most of us cannot even see the Milky Way. But First Nations Elders around the world still maintain this knowledge, and there is much we can learn from them. These Elders are expert observers of the stars. They teach that everything on the land is reflected in the sky, and everything in the sky is reflected on the land. How does this work, and how can we better understand our place in the universe? Guided by six First Nations Elders, Duane Hamacher takes us on a journey across space and time to reveal the wisdom of the first astronomers. These living systems of knowledge challenge conventional ideas about the nature of science and the longevity of oral tradition. Indigenous science is dynamic, adapting to changes in the skies and on Earth, pointing the way for a world facing the profound disruptions of climate change.' This book marks a profound paradigm shift in our understanding of Indigenous scientific traditions, how they are transmitted, and their relevance to life today.' - Professor Marcia Langton, University of Melbourne'A ground-breaking book of enormous scope.' - Brian Schmidt, Nobel Laureate in Physics'A glimpse into Indigenous ways of reading landscapes reflected in the night sky through ancient processes of inquiry.' - Dr Tyson Yunkaporta, author of Sand Talk'A wonderful combination of scholarship and poetry.' - Dr Annette S. Lee, Lakota astrophysicist' Beautiful, engaging, and startlingly profound.' - Alan Duffy, Professor of Astrophysics. Waterstones First Astronomers - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

  • Waterstones Duane Michals: Portraits

    Price: £35.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Duane Michals, the subject of a major travelling retrospective exhibition organized by the Carnegie Museums, has long been recognized for his inventive photo sequences, which shaped the work of several generations of artists. But even as he is enjoying wide acclaim, a central body of work by the 83-year-old artist remains little known. For decades a sought-after editorial photographer for leading magazines, Michals portrayed outstanding creative personalities of our era. This comprehensive selection of his inventive portraits (many not previously published in book form), accompanied by Michals's inimitable, sometimes hilarious, observations and reminiscences, will delight his many fans. Included are iconic images of performers such as Barbra Streisand and Johnny Cash; contemporary artists including Andy Warhol, David Hockney and Jasper Johns; outstanding authors like Norman Mailer and John Cheever; and 'old masters' of modern art including René Magritte and Balthus.

  • Waterstones Outer Space: 100 Poems

    Price: £12.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Poets and astronomers often ask the same questions. Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? Throughout human history, poetry has provided stories about what people observe in the sky. Stars, planets, comets, the moon, and space travel are used as metaphors for our feelings of love, loneliness, adventurousness, and awe. This anthology includes poets, astronomers, and scientists from the 12th century BCE to today, from all around the world. Sappho, Du Fu, Hafez, and Shakespeare are joined by Gwyneth Lewis's space requiem, Tracy K. Smith on the Hubble telescope, and Charles Simic, whose poem accompanied a NASA mission. Astronomers Tycho Brahe and Edmund Halley accompany modern scientists including Rebecca Elson, Alice Gorman on the first woman in space, and Yun Wang's space journal on travel to Andromeda. This collection reaches across time and cultures to illuminate how we think about outer space, and ourselves. Waterstones Outer Space: 100 Poems - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk
