Download or read book Soothing The Savage Beat written by Eric Augustine Lopez and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When natural disasters, famine, social chaos, and government collapse spell the end of human existence, a new world is born. But in some ways it's really a return to an old world, and its survival depends on total government control. The new one-government world must rebuild with survivors and remaining technology. And simplicity holds the answers. Sort of. In the early decades of the 21st century people demanded more government intervention, thinking life would be better. The government agreed, providing housing, food, jobs, clothing, drugs, and of all things- music. After all, who can live without music. But by mid-century the music of the day was as bleak and featureless as everything else. Although it was a dark, heavy-metal, meaningless kind of music, it was all anybody knew. The people wanted it, and the government needed it. It was cheap entertainment, but also a valuable tool. It was the oil in the machine, keeping things running in a rough world . It may seem impossible, but in the future the music of Bach, Mozart, and many other greats, even the Beatles, Dylan, Led Zeppelin, country, rock, jazz and other styles and genres would be forgotten. Until one man finds a way to revive music of the past, and use it to rebuild, reshape society, soothing the savage world. After all, music has always had a significant impact on societies everywhere throughout history. But nothing is easy to fix when time is not on your side. In the year 2096, resources are still very limited, tightly controlled, and people living too long is a problem for the government. This kind of future should be no surprise. You can see it coming if you open your eyes and ears. What's happening today is nothing new, and tomorrow may be just a repeat of the past. Societies rise and fall, and music will always be in the mix. What goes around, comes around. History proves it. But in the future, history may very well. . . fade into history, along with great literature and other evidence of the best of human achievement. History is the foundation on which to build the future, but if that foundation crumbles, or gets erased, so will the future. All that can be done is to re-build from the ground up, from scratch. Darkness is the absence of light, and it is the responsibility of the musician to bring light into the darkness of the human heart and soul. And some of that music, centuries later, still burns bright. All we have to do is let it shine. In 2096, one man is about to open a can of Beethoven #9.

Download or read book Savage and civilized written by Héctor Palma and published by Editorial Biblos. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a sunny January morning in 1833, through one of the Southern Channels of Tierra del Fuego, a British vessel sails alongside a smaller boat. The natives of the area, through screams and smoke, quickly communicate with each other the novelty, and dozens of canoes with hundreds of natives emerge to observe the peculiar event. Curious and friendly for the most part, somewhat aggressive at times, they observe the smallest boat approaching the shore with three Fuegians (two men and one woman) returning to their homeland after almost a year in London. To the surprise of their compatriots, who receive them almost naked, these three Fuegians dressed in European clothes, with short hair, speak English and they bring with them porcelain tea sets, bed linens, hats and dresses. This unique scene is only a small part of a larger story that was headed to oblivion at that hostile Southern tip of South America, except for the fact that it was part of extensive passages in the journey diaries of the two British protagonists of the same story: the expedition captain Robert Fitz Roy and the naturalist on board, and eventually one of the most influential scientists in the modern world, Charles Darwin. But in addition to those direct testimonies, a more or less standard version has been installed, restated time after time for almost two centuries; with a series of assumptions and errors that deserve to be reviewed and reassessed. The aim of this book is to reconstruct this story and, above all, review it from a critical perspective.

Download or read book The Savage written by Frank Bill and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the raucous and action-packed follow-up to Donnybrook, mayhem is still the order of the day-only more so Frank Bill's America has always been stark and violent. In his new novel, he takes things one step further: the dollar has failed; the grid is wiped out. Van Dorn is eighteen and running solo, dodging the bloodthirsty hordes and militias that have emerged since the country went haywire. His dead father's voice rings in his head as Van Dorn sets his sights not just on survival but also on an old-fashioned sense of justice. Meanwhile, a leader has risen among the gangs-and around him swirls the cast of brawlers from Donnybrook, with their own brutal sense of right and wrong, of loyalty and justice through strength. So, this is not the distant postapocalyptic future-this is tomorrow, in a world Bill has already introduced us to. Now he raises the stakes and turns his shotgun prose on our addiction to technology, the values and skills we've lost in the process, and what happens when the last systems of morality and society collapse. The Savage presents a bone-chilling vision of America where power is the only currency and nothing guarantees survival. And it presents Bill at his most ambitious, most eloquent, most powerful.

Download or read book The World Until Yesterday written by Jared Diamond and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author of Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel surveys the history of human societies to answer the question: What can we learn from traditional societies that can make the world a better place for all of us? “As he did in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond continues to make us think with his mesmerizing and absorbing new book." Bookpage Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years—a past that has mostly vanished—and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today. This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. Provocative, enlightening, and entertaining, The World Until Yesterday is an essential and fascinating read.

Download or read book Political Survival and Sovereignty in International Relations written by Jesse Dillon Savage and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do political actors willingly give up sovereignty to another state, or choose to resist, sometimes to the point of violence? Jesse Dillon Savage demonstrates the role that domestic politics plays in the formation of international hierarchies, and shows that when there are high levels of rent-seeking and political competition within the subordinate state, elites within this state become more prepared to accept hierarchy. In such an environment, members of society at large are also more likely to support the surrender of sovereignty. Empirically rich, the book adopts a comparative historical approach with an emphasis on Russian attempts to establish hierarchy in post-Soviet space, particularly in Georgia and Ukraine. This emphasis on post-Soviet hierarchy is complemented by a cross-national statistical study of hierarchy in the post WWII era, and three historical case studies examining European informal empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
