Book excerpt: Philippine Folk Tales by Mabel Cook Cole In these stories you have emerged into the magic, superstitions, strange customs and wonderland charm of these dark-skinned inhabitants. The stories were taken directly from people in their homes and around campfires or sung by pagan priests in communion with spirits. They are typical tales of widely separated tribes and of different cultures, from ferocity to a rather high degree of development. The tales are therefore divided into five groups: Tinguian, Igorot, the wild tribes of Mindanao, Moro and Christian. Tinguian mythology points to the conclusion that the main characters of their tales are not celestial beings but typical and generalized heroes of past ages, whose actions have been amplified in the tale by many generations of their descendants. They talked to jars, created humans with betel nuts, raised the dead, and had the power to transform into other forms. This, however, does not seem strange or impossible to today's tenguins, for even now they speak with jars, perform certain rites to bring sickness and death to their enemies, and are warned by omens received by means of birds, thunder and lightning, or the conditions of the liver of a slaughtered animal. The heroes of the tales had very unusual relationships with celestial bodies, which all seem to be considered animated beings. We can read about many "early" customs that differ radically from those of the present, but careful analysis suggests that many similar customs existed or were practiced by emigrants. The tribes find explanations for many things in their stories, such as how people learned to plant and cure diseases, where they have secured the precious pots and beads, and why the moon has spots on its face. Other fairy tales are told simply to amuse the children or to spend the midday hours when they look for shady places to laze or stop on the path to rest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Philippine Folk-Tales,” compiled by Clara Bayliss, presents 50 folk tales. Many of the stories are typical Eurasian tales as brought to the Philippines by the Spanish (among others). Though they have regional twists, many of the tales (such as Aladdin) are ones that Westerners would be familiar with. The stories of ancient Philippine mythology include deities, creation stories, mythical creatures, and beliefs. Ancient Philippine mythology varies among the many indigenous tribes of the Philippines. Some groups during the pre-Spanish conquest era believed in a single Supreme Being who created the world and everything in it, while others chose to worship a multitude of tree and forest deities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philippine Folk Tales: Compiled and Annotated Stories seventeen to twenty-three are regarded as fables and are told to amuse the children or to while away the midday hours when the people seek shaded spots to lounge or stop on the trail to rest. Most of them are known to the Christianized tribes through out the Islands and show great similarity to the tales found in the islands to the south and, in some cases, in Europe. In many of them the chief incidents are identical with those found elsewhere, but the story tellers, by introducing old customs and beliefs, have moulded and colored them until they reflect the com mon ideas of the Tinguian. The third group includes stories from several wild tribes who dwell in the large island of Mindanao. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists collectively known as Anonymous—by the writer the Huffington Post says “knows all of Anonymous’ deepest, darkest secrets” “A work of anthropology that sometimes echoes a John le Carré novel.” —Wired Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside–outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters—such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu—emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, including the history of “trolling,” the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of “the lulz.”
