The Urgency of Indigenous Values Arnold Philip P.

Philip Arnold explores the vital need to understand Indigenous values in order to overcome the legacy of colonialism, represent Indigenous convictions, and ensure humanity's survival in the face of ecological and environmental catastrophe. Through an examination of the Doctrine of Christian Discovery, a series of documents that used religious ideas to justify the subjugation and even annihilation of Indigenous peoples, Arnold shows how issues such as environmental devastation, social justice concerns, land theft, and forced conversion practices all have their roots in the relationship between Indigenous peoples and religion over the past five centuries. Designed to initiate a conversation in the classroom, in the academy, and in various communities about what is essential to the category of Indigeneity, this book offers a conceptional engagement with underlying value systems of

How I Won A Nobel Prize - Julius Taranto

Julius Taranto’s wickedly satirical and refreshingly irreverent debut novel, a young physicist finds herself exiled to an island research institute that gives safe harbour to ‘cancelled’ artists and academics. Helen, a graduate student on a quest to save the planet, is one of the best minds of her generation. But when her irreplaceable advisor’s student sex scandal is exposed, she must choose whether to give up on her work or accompany him to RIP, a research institute which grants safe harbour to the disgraced and the deplorable. As Helen settles into life at the institute alongside her partner Hew, she develops a crush on an older novelist, while he is drawn to an increasingly violent protest movement. As the rift between them deepens, they both face major – and potentially world-altering – choices. Hilarious, provocative and thought-provoking, How I Won A Nobel Prize approaches our moral confusion in a genuine and fresh way, examining the price we’re willing to pay for progress and what it means, in the end, to be a good person.

The New Mexico Book of Witches Lemay

In addition to being the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico was also once the Land of Bewitchment. Witches used to streak across the skies as fireballs, creep along the streets as black cats, and flutter into the trees in the form of owls. When they weren't casting the Evil Eye, they might be concocting a dish of worms disguised as goat's cheese or making a love potion for a client. And those were just the Spanish brujas. Elsewhere, Navajo skinwalkers stalked the deserts and prairies in wolfskins, and the ghosts of Apache witches possessed bears in the forests. From historical accounts like the Abiquiu witch trials and Luis De Rivera's deal with the Devil to familiar folktales like Panfilo and the Cat-Eyed Witches and the Witches in the Oldest House, this tome collects all of New Mexico's best known witch-tales and

Taneční hodiny dělníků dřevařského závod

Ptá se čtenář na pokrok učiněný od první sbírky? Pokrok, zrovna teď vyhřívá se ve výloze obchůdku s rozbitými psacími stroji. Malström věčného návratu víří ulicí prach a uschlé listí. Komíhavě tušené slunce. Vidíš ten mrak? To není mrak. Není to nafouklé břicho ani pouťový balónek. Vytrvalý vichr vzdouvá kyprostí škrobených nebes, nese ostrov, podobenství o společné lodi. Teď nějaká bouře. Dovnitř vnikající voda nestačí hasit požár paliva. Posádka prchla i se zásobami čaje a vazký olej zaplavuje strojovnu. Celá loď jest pouze nákladnou metaforou! Není skutečná. Skutečný je kličkující zajíc v myslivecké vestičce. Kairos i kabanos, celý text je Svět. Učenec volá k pasažérům, poutník je dojat živým obrazem. Středoevropská švitořivost v kafemlejnku dějin.

Life of Brain Fuller Ray

This book is about everything that goes on in your conscious experience: sensations, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, imagination, plans, expectations. It's also about your conscious experience of self, the sense that there is a YOU behind everything, a YOU that is having all these experiences, a YOU that seems to control all those activities of the mind.Some of the questions it explores:What is conscious experience?How did it evolve?Why did it evolve?How does it develop in the young child?What can we do with it?Why might it cause us problems?Why is it still a mystery?This book is NOT about the neurological landscape and its functions studied by the neuroscientist armed with the latest fMRI technology (which incidentally measures brain activity indirectly through the flow of blood in response to different tasks).

Octavia E. Butler: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations House Melville

"I write about people who do extraordinary things. It just turned out that it was called science fiction." - Octavia E. ButlerOctavia E. Butler's work broke innumerable barriers and helped open the field of science fiction to writers and readers it had never had before.

A comparative investigation of Afro-Cuban ritual and Western science that aims to challenge the rationality of Western expert practices.Inspired by the exercises of Father Lafitau, an eighteenth-century Jesuit priest and proto-ethnographer who compared the lives of the Iroquois to those of the ancient Greeks, Stephan Palmi embarks on a series of unusual comparative investigations of Afro-Cuban ritual and Western science. What do organ transplants have to do with ngangas, a complex assemblage of mineral, animal, and vegetal materials, including human remains, that serve as the embodiment of the spirits of the dead? How do genomics and "ancestry projects" converge with divination and oracular systems? What does it mean that Black Cubans in the United States took advantage of Edisonian technology to project the disembodied voice of a mystical entity named ecu
