A bit surprised but very much honored -- OK I'll admit it, totally stoked! -- to see an excerpt from my review @nybooks (alongside Laura Rival's @ TLS) as the back cover blurb for the 2023 paperback edition to Falling Sky by Davi Kopenawa and Bruce Albert

You can read the full review at https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2014/11/06/davi-kopenawa-voice-shaman/?insrc=toc

Valuable 1823 edition of Johann von Spix's “Simiarum et vespertilionum Brasiliensium species novae” was just recovered in London 16 years after being stolen from the Goeldi Museum's rare books collection. This important work is famous for its descriptions and drawings of the monkeys of Brazil as well as other plants and animals then considered new to science.

@TootTropiques @bookstodon Great quote line!

I checked out the novel on Amazon and was interested that it had two quite opposite reviews from PW and Booklist. How was it for you?

Today in Labor History January 19, 1812: Luddites torched Oatlands Mill in Yorkshire, England. In order to avoid losing their jobs to machines, Luddites destroyed equipment in protest. Their movement was named for Ned Ludd, a fictional weaver who supposedly smashed knitting frames after being whipped by his boss. Luddite rebellions continued from 1811-1816, until the military quashed their uprising.

Chant no more your old rhymes about bold Robin Hood
His feats I but little admire
I will sing the Achievements of General Ludd
Now the Hero of Nottinghamshire.

The sentiment for this poem comes from the fact that Robin Hood was a paternalistic hero, a displaced aristocrat who stole from his class brethren and gave to the poor; whereas Ned Ludd represented the autonomy and self-sufficiency of the working class.

"We held on for six weeks, thought each day were the last;
We’ve tarried and shifted till now we’re quite fast.
We lived upon nettles while nettles were good
And Waterloo Porridge was the best of ours food.

I’m a four-loom weaver as many a one knows;
I’ve nowt to eat and I’ve worn out me clothes.
Me clogs are both broken, no looms to weave on,
And I’ve woven meself to far end."

--from "Four Loom Weaver," a folksong about those weavers
