Dredge W: The Daycroft Factor

The Daycroft Factor

A Memoir

THE PHYSICS OF MONEY

One of the world’s greatest bassists lays down the heart of Black music, revealing how its rhythmic structures and the long history of the African diaspora made it the world’s most popular form.&nbsp; &nbsp; “A&nbsp;revelatory new book.”—New York Times Why do Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, and Nina Simone move us the way they do? What drives the worried notes of the Delta blues? What makes Beyoncé’s triumph Cowboy Carter inescapably great? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As Melvin Gibbs shows in How Black Music Took Over the World, it is the musical inheritance of Africa. Beginning with two rhythmic building blocks he calls the cell and the frame, Gibbs shows how those tools can transport listeners to “a realm where sounds become vehicles for human movement.” Reforged in the African diaspora in the Americas, they are played today on church organs, electric guitars, computers, telephones, or a simple gourd. Kool &amp; the Gang called Black musicians the “scientists of sound”—and Gibbs shows how they discovered the world’s music. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Gibbs’s vantage is unique. A world-class musician fluent in many genres, Gibbs is as comfortable in an old-school Times Square record shop as he is breaking down mathematics and music theory with university professors. Imbued with his own journey and a sharp eye for the sins and triumphs of history, How Black Music Took Over the World is an unforgettable revelation of one of humanity’s greatest achievements. &nbsp; &nbsp;

How Black Music Took Over the World

Séverin Guelpa, geboren 1974, ist eine der starken Stimmen in der Schweizer Gegenwartskunst. Von Genf aus arbeitet er an der Schnittstelle von Kunst, Wissenschaft und der Erkundung gesellschaftlicher Phänomene. Guelpa untersucht, wie Erschütterungen - geophysikalische, soziale oder emotionale - zur Triebkraft für die Entwicklung neuer Perspektiven werden können. Seit 2022 entsteht sein Werkkomplex 
 Trembling,
 in dem er Materialien wie Erde, Stein und Beton sowie verschiedene Medien wie Zeichnung, Skulptur, Video und Drucktechniken zu eindringlichen Gleichnissen einer Welt im Wandel verknüpft. Seine Videoarbeit 
 Times Parallax
 wirft einen globalen Blick auf das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch, Technologie und Natur.
 In diesem Buch führen eindrucksvolle Bildstrecken durch Guelpas Arbeitswelten - von Wüsten und Gebirge bis hinein in industrielle Tiefen - und machen seine physische, ortsbezogene Arbeitsweise erfahrbar. Die Kritikerin und Kuratorin Deborah Keller beschreibt sein Schaffen mit analytischer Schärfe und erzählerischer Leichtigkeit. Im Gespräch mit Dorothea Strauss geht Guelpa auf Aspekte wie Verantwortung, Unsicherheit und die Rolle der Kunst in einer erschütterten Welt ein. So vereint Trembling künstlerische Praxis, Reflexion und Materialität zu einem dichten, bildstarken, international anschlussfähigen Kunst- und Zeitdokument.

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

Historische Geschlechterforschung

Wie werden Gender- und Queer-History-Projekte im lokalen Kontext und im kleinstädtischen Raum umgesetzt? Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich anhand des Fallbeispiels Südtirol der Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte in Minderheitengebieten. Südtirol repräsentiert einen Kontext intersektionaler Diversität, in dem verschiedene Arten von Minderheiten (z.B. hinsichtlich ihrer sexuellen Orientierung, ihrer Geschlechtsidentität oder ihres Migrationshintergrundes) aufeinandertreffen. Aus den Forschungsergebnissen lassen sich nicht nur neue theoretische Aspekte für die Gender Studies gewinnen, sondern auch praktische Implikationen für das Leben in einer Gesellschaft, die von multipler Diversität geprägt ist.

Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR The Right has spent decades trying to win elections. The Left has spent decades deciding who controls everything else.In How the Regime Rules, New York Times bestselling author Christopher F. Rufo delivers his most explosive work yet, exposing the hidden architecture of American power and revealing a battle plan for the New Right to dismantle it.The Regime is not a conspiracy. It is something far more formidable—a sprawling network of Deep State bureaucrats, media gatekeepers, university administrators, corporate executives, and ideological enforcers who dictate what Americans can say, what they are permitted to believe, and who gets destroyed for stepping out of line. Its reach is ubiquitous, its accountability virtually nonexistent. And for decades, conservatives have mistaken capitulation for statesmanship. Rufo demolishes the comforting fiction that institutions can be neutral, that the marketplace of ideas is fair, or that the Right can simply retreat from the contest for influence. The system is not broken. It is functioning precisely as its architects intended.Rufo knows how to expose the machinery and dismantle it. He transformed DEI from an untouchable orthodoxy into a political liability. He propelled allegations of Somali welfare fraud into the national spotlight. He identified structural vulnerabilities, punctured manufactured consensus, and demonstrated how seemingly impregnable bastions of authority can be forced onto the defensive. Now he reveals the playbook. From Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty to dismantling ideological strongholds in higher education, Rufo uncovers the mechanics of political domination. How narratives harden into unquestionable truths, how elites perpetuate their own authority, and how disciplined insurgents can upend an entire political order.Rufo agrees with the Left on one fundamental point: Every institution is an instrument of a particular vision of society. In How the Regime Rules, he argues that conservatives must stop mistaking political restraint for moral superiority, cultivate a formidable counter-elite, and master the levers of influence that shape American life.The Regime has perfected the art of ruling without appearing to rule. Now Rufo turns its own methods against it, showing the Right how to reclaim America's commanding heights and chart a new course for the country.
