Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near fine condition. Songlines: The Power and Promise offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way of storing knowledge in memory by integrating song, art, and, most importantly, Country into their lives. Songlines are the means of storing and learning knowledge, ancient and modern. They are stories embodied in the land, sea, and skies, remembered and passed on through song, dance, art, ceremony, and, most importantly, attachment to Country. Like libraries, these vast collections of dynamic information ensured Australia's indigenous peoples flourished for millennia and continue to do so. Margo Neale and Lynne Kelly show us, with compelling storytelling and extensive research, how these integrated knowledges are encoded and transmitted to preserve vibrant, thriving and sustainable cultures. Songlines are an archive of powerful knowledge that has helped Australia's many Indigenous cultures flourish for over 60,000 years. More than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art, and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing. Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines: The Power and Promise offer all Australians a remarkable way to learn, remember, and connect with each other.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. What do you need to know to prosper as a people for at least 65,000 years? The First Knowledges series provides a deeper understanding of the expertise and ingenuity of Indigenous Australians. For millennia, Indigenous Australians harvested this continent in ways that can offer contemporary environmental and economic solutions. Bill Gammage and Bruce Pascoe show how Aboriginal people cultivated the land by manipulating water flows, vegetation, and firestick practice. Not solely hunters and gatherers, the First Australians also farmed and stored food. They employed complex seasonal fire programs that protected Country and animals alike. In doing so, they avoided the killer fires that we fear today. Country: Future Fire, Future Farming highlights the consequences of ignoring this deep history and living unsustainably. It details the remarkable agricultural and land-care techniques of First Nations peoples and shows how such practices are needed now more than ever.…

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good +. ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIANA - What do you need to know to prosper for 65,000 years or more? The First Knowledges series provides a deeper understanding of the expertise and ingenuity of Indigenous Australians. Many First Peoples regard the land as a reflection of the sky and the sky a reflection of the land. Sophisticated astronomical expertise embedded within the Dreaming and Songlines is interwoven into a deep understanding of changes on the land, such as weather patterns and seasonal shifts, that are integral to knowledges of time, food availability, and ceremony.
