Contemporary public discourses about the ocean are routinely
characterized by scientific and environmentalist narratives that
imagine and idealize marine spaces in which humans are absent. In
contrast, this collection explores the variety of ways in which
people have long made themselves at home at sea, and continue to
live intimately with it. In doing so, it brings together both
ethnographic and archaeological research - much of it with an
explicit Ingoldian approach - on a wide range of geographical areas
and historical periods.

"Microphone in the mud" tells the true story of a young woman as
she battles armed terrorists, a kidnapper, malaria, a tsunami, and
dial-up Internet while documenting endangered languages spoken by
hunter-gatherers in the jungles of the Philippines.
The Isles of Scilly are located 48km south-west of Lands End
(Cornwall) England, and comprise a small archipelago of granite
islands. The interpretation of the islands' archaeology has
received no recent detailed consideration and has therefore not
been studied within a contemporary archaeological framework. This
research seeks to redress this by considering the prehistory of
Scilly from the earliest evidence for a human presence on the
islands until the end of the 1st century BC (Mesolithic until Iron
Age). It will draw upon recent approaches to the study of
landscapes, seascapes and islands and from within archaeology and
anthropology, as well as other approaches developed within the
broader social sciences.
Jason's lucky to be alive, but life in a wheelchair was not in his
plans. Even when he was protecting his mom and siblings from his
drunken father or escaping from home to be with his friends, he
never imagined his future in a wheelchair.
When reading a text message while driving, he is in a car accident
that leaves him with a paralyzed leg. Jason sees himself only as a
kid who will always be paralyzed, but when he becomes part of the
Raven Canoe Family and learns to "pull" a canoe, his outlook on
life begins to change.
After completing a two-week tribal canoe journey with his Duwamish
tribal members, Jason is proud to be a Coast Salish Indian. From
the hardships and camaraderie of the journey, he gains a new sense
of courage and determination to someday swim and walk again.
