The book offers a unique perspective by combining rigorous economic analysis with cultural sensitivity, highlighting the potential of art as a tool for economic empowerment.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the history and cultural context of Zuni jewelry. It then delves into the specific techniques and materials used, the market forces that drive its production, and the social structures that support the artisans.

Ultimately, the book examines the long-term implications of Zuni jewelry for the community's economic future and cultural identity, addressing ongoing debates about ethical sourcing and the fair distribution of economic benefits.

Transforming the Living Legacy...

Janina Fisher

Traumatic experiences leave a “living legacy” of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that retelling the story of what happened would resolve these effects. 
 
However, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma. To transform traumatic experiences, survivors need to understand their symptoms and reactions as normal responses to abnormal events. They need ways to work with the symptoms that intrude on their daily activities, preventing a life beyond trauma. 
 
Dr. Janina Fisher, international expert on trauma, has spent over 40 years working with survivors, helping them to navigate the healing journey. In Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, she shows how the legacy of symptoms helped them survive and offers: 
Step-by-step strategies that can be used on their own or in collaboration with a therapistSimple diagrams that make sense of the confusing feelings and physical reactions survivors experienceWorksheets to practice the skills that bring relief and ultimately healing

Joseph Loconte

Never before had they known such hope. 
In a world drenched in violence and oppression, here was a man armed with a message of peace and freedom. Into lives nearly overwhelmed by grief and sorrow, he brought compassion and healing and the deepest joy. To people who felt like outcasts and aliens, he showed the way home. And then, in one devastating night, all their hopes collapsed. 
This is where our story begins—in the valley of despair. It is a tale of two friends, a stranger, and a search for truth in a world gone mad with doubt. 
Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story. Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers.

Natural Healing - Using Natural...

Robert Krishna

Natural healing is the practice of using natural remedies such as herbs, foods, vitamins, and other plants to cure or prevent illness. In contrast with traditional Western medicine which focuses on treatments that are often high-tech and invasive, natural healing typically takes a less medical approach. 
In most cases the body has a self-regulating ability to heal itself without intervention from individuals or outside sources which can be both advantageous and disadvantageous to individuals who choose this type of treatment. However some people may have specific health conditions in which they need outside help from natural healers in order for their bodies to fully recover. 
The term "natural healing" is also used in the context of alternative healing as opposed to alternative medicine, which is a distinct field at scientific investigation with its own principles, methods and theories. 
Natural healing is a well-established practice in many cultures around the world; certain cultures are known to have had medical practitioners who have used natural remedies for centuries before the discovery of modern medical science.
