DOWNLOAD EBOOKExplains Native American psychology and how its unique perspectives on mind and behavior can bring a focus to better heal individual, social, and global disorders. Psychology is a relatively new discipline, with foundations formed narrowly and near-exclusively by white, European males. But in this increasingly diverse nation and world, those foundations filled with implicit bias are too narrow to best help our people and society, says author Arthur Blume, a fellow of the American Psychological Association. According to Blume, a narrowly based perspective prevents "out-of-the-box" thinking, research, and treatment that could well power greater healing and avoidance of disorders. In this text, Blume explains the Native American perspective on psychology, detailing why that needs to be incorporated as a new model for this field. A Native American psychologist, he contrasts the original culture of psychology's creators—as it includes individualism, autonomy, independence, and hierarchal relationships—with that of Native Americans in the context of communalism, interdependence, earth-centeredness, and egalitarianism. As Blume explains, psychological happiness is redefined by the reality of our interdependence rather than materialism and individualism, and how we do things becomes as important as what we accomplish.

Born from the visionary minds behind the Advocacy Unified Network (AUN) and headquartered in Santipur, West Bengal, GRACE (Global Repository for Ancient Cultural Endeavours) stands as a beacon of hope in the realm of cultural preservation. This groundbreaking initiative, originally conceived in The Hague, Netherlands, aims to protect and promote ancient cultural traditions, artifacts, and knowledge systems for future generations. This book delves deep into the critical importance of preserving ancient cultural heritage in the face of mounting global challenges such as urbanization, climate change, and conflicts. From exploring the profound threats that jeopardize historical sites and traditional practices to highlighting the latest technologies, including AI-driven tools, 3D scanning, and virtual reality, GRACE: Timekeepers of Ancient Cultural Legacy presents a comprehensive and innovative approach to cultural preservation. Through a richly woven narrative, the book unpacks GRACE's founding mission, its strategic global presence, and its commitment to interdisciplinary research and education initiatives. Readers will discover how GRACE collaborates with governments, NGOs, cultural institutions, and local communities across the world to champion the cause of heritage protection. From digital archiving methods to successful case studies of community-led preservation projects, the book offers inspiring examples of how ancient legacies are being preserved with a forward-thinking approach.

With an emphasis on global collaboration, GRACE showcases the successes and challenges faced in building an interconnected, international network of cultural advocates. It addresses ethical questions about cultural ownership, intellectual property rights, and the restitution of artifacts while offering solutions to the delicate balance between cultural preservation and autonomy. Authored by a dedicated young team under the mentorship of global cultural experts, this book serves as a testament to their commitment and passion for preserving the legacies of the past. Dr. Rajendran Govender from Durban, South Africa, plays a pivotal role in guiding GRACE, sharing his vast experience to mentor the organization as it grows into the global force it was dreamt to be.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt its most basic, historic preservation is about keeping old places alive, in active use, and relevant to the needs of communities today. As cities across America experience a remarkable renaissance, and more and more young, diverse families choose to live, work, and play in historic neighborhoods, the promise and potential of using our older and historic buildings to revitalize our cities is stronger than ever. This urban resurgence is a national phenomenon, boosting cities from Cleveland to Buffalo and Portland to Pittsburgh. Experts offer a range of theories on what is driving the return to the city—from the impact of the recent housing crisis to a desire to be socially engaged, live near work, and reduce automobile use. But there’s also more to it. Time and again, when asked why they moved to the city, people talk about the desire to live somewhere distinctive, to be some place rather than no place. Often these distinguishing urban landmarks are exciting neighborhoods—Miami boasts its Art Deco district, New Orleans the French Quarter. Sometimes, as in the case of Baltimore’s historic rowhouses, the most distinguishing feature is the urban fabric itself. While many aspects of this urban resurgence are a cause for celebration, the changes have also brought to the forefront issues of access, affordable housing, inequality, sustainability, and how we should commemorate difficult history. This book speaks directly to all of these issues. In The Past and Future City, Stephanie Meeks, the president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, describes in detail, and with unique empirical research, the many ways that saving and restoring historic fabric can help a city create thriving neighborhoods, good jobs, and a vibrant economy. She explains the critical importance of preservation for all our communities, the ways the historic preservation field has evolved to embrace the challenges of the twenty-first century, and the innovative work being done in the preservation space now. This book is for anyone who cares about cities, places, and saving America’s diverse stories, in a way that will bring us together and help us better understand our past, present, and future.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStep into a world where magic is not just a whisper on the wind but a tangible force that weaves through every stall, every cobblestone, and every heart. Welcome to "The Enchanted Market," a place where the extraordinary meets the everyday, and where destinies are forged in the heat of adventure. "The Enchanted Market" follows the journey of Clara Thompson, a young woman who inherits a mysterious shop in a magical market that exists between worlds. Clara’s life is turned upside down when she discovers that her grandmother, Esme Everhart, was not just a beloved shopkeeper but a revered guardian of this mystical bazaar. With her grandmother's journal in hand, Clara steps into a realm filled with enchanted artifacts, peculiar creatures, and age-old secrets.

Malak, a powerful sorcerer with a thirst for dominion, seeks to exploit the market's magic for his own gain. Clara, along with her newfound allies—Elandra, an elven healer; Thrain, a dwarf blacksmith with enchanted weapons; and Finnian, a talented mage—must navigate these dangers and protect the market from Malak’s sinister plans. As Clara delves deeper into the market's secrets, she discovers her own latent magical abilities. Guided by her grandmother's wisdom and the strength of her friends, she learns to harness her power and embraces her destiny as a guardian of the market. Each challenge she faces and every battle she fights brings her closer to understanding the legacy she has inherited.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“When you change the government, you change the country,” Paul Keating declared. It reminds us that the outlook and actions of the government of the day have widespread ramifications in the lives of people “on the ground.” Within the extraordinary complexity that a government must be, the leading indication of its values and of the strategic thrust of its actions is the behaviour of its leading official, the prime minister. He or she is the clearest and most observed example of what a government can or cannot, will or will not do. Its particular interest is in speeches. These set pieces of talk have conventionally been regarded as each prime minister’s opportunity to entrench a legacy. A growing weight of evidence over the years since Keating’s term in office has turned the tables, though, so that we now need to see the speech itself as a “legacy medium”—like vinyl records. Talking up a Legacy does not specifically offer an insider or partisan account, but it aims to cast light on some of the most difficult challenges of political communication, using language and concepts that speak to non-specialist readers. The author has been an insider and partisan himself (as a speechwriter for premiers in Victoria and NSW).
