Sinossi

Alexander MacGregor Stephen was a Scottish mining prospector trained in metallurgy at the university of Edinburgh. When he emigrated from Scotland to the United States he enlisted in the New York Militia during the Civil War. Afterwards, he prospected in search of the lost Merit silver mine in Nevada and Utah during the 1870s. From 1880-1894 it is not known whether Stephen lived with Thomas Keam, owner of a trading post, at his canyon ranch or at various places on the Hopi mesas. He did spend a decade building relationships with the Navajo and Hopi learning their language and their culture and recording it in what he considered an unbiased manner.In 1894, Stephen came down with influenza while living with the Hopi. The disease had already spread through the mesas. Stephen believed that he was being punished for secretly observing burial customs and then joking about them. He died shortly therafter. Keam erected monument at the canyon ranch in honor of him.Stephen’s essay Navajo Origin Legend was published in 1930 on the Journal of American Folk-Lore. It constitutes one of the most important testimonies of the mythology and ancient traditions of the Navajo people.

    Shadows into Light - A...

    During the civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002, an estimated 20,000 children were forced to join the fighting. As villages were raided and youths rounded up, it was not uncommon for a child to be ordered to kill a friend, relative, or neighbor. The goal was to make it impossible for the captives to return home and be accepted back into their communities. 
     
     
     
    But when the conflict ended, many of the children did find their way home. Theresa Betancourt and her collaborators in Sierra Leone launched a study of more than 500 boys and girls who had been pulled into the war, tracking them for over two decades. The results were surprising: despite everything they had suffered, this was not a lost generation. In fact, the most dominant trend was one of healing and increasing acceptance. The lives of the former child soldiers were shaped not just by their personal ordeals but also by the responses of their families, peers, and communities. Shadows into Light describes heartbreak and despair but also remarkable triumphs. 
     
     
     
    Betancourt's study provides insight into the long-term psychological and developmental effects of family separation, war, and exposure to violence. The lessons go beyond Sierra Leone's tragedy, suggesting that we should think of children's risk and resilience more as products of the post-trauma environment than as individual traits.

    When Dwight Eisenhower graduated from West Point in 1915, few would have predicted he was destined for greatness. Yet the young officer made the most of the opportunities he was given, made a lasting impression on superiors, and eventually gained a reputation as an excellent staff officer. 
     
     
     
    Fifty-nine graduates became generals during World War II, but none of that was clear at the time, especially not for the young Dwight Eisenhower, who graduated sixty-first in a class of 164. 
     
     
     
    During the 1920s into the early 1930s Eisenhower started to catch the eye of superiors and earned positions under the U.S. Army's leading lights. 
     
     
     
    Eisenhower joined the General Staff in Washington, DC, where he helped develop war plans and eventually became deputy chief of staff under George Marshall. When the time came to appoint a commander to execute the plans, Marshall knew Eisenhower was the man for the job. 
     
     
     
    Becoming Eisenhower is the story of a young man who first pursued the army for its free education, the story of an officer who was initially overlooked, the story of how General Eisenhower carried these experiences not only into Supreme Command but also the presidency.
