Sinopse

In "The Seminole Indians of Florida," Clay MacCauley crafts a meticulously researched account of the Seminole people, navigating through their complex history, culture, and the impact of colonial pressures. MacCauley employs a narrative style that is both academic and accessible, weaving in oral histories and tribal perspectives that enrich the reader's understanding of the Seminoles' resilience. Situated within the broader context of Native American studies, the book illuminates significant events such as the Seminole Wars and their enduring legacy, merging ethnography with historical analysis to paint a vivid portrait of a tribe often overshadowed in American history. MacCauley, a prominent anthropologist and historian, dedicated much of his career to studying Indigenous populations in the southeastern United States. His passion for Native American cultures is reflected in his broader body of work, which emphasizes the significance of Indigenous voices in historical narratives. His deep commitment to understanding the unique socio-political landscapes of the Seminoles undoubtedly shaped the comprehensive perspective he offers in this book. Recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Indigenous studies, this book serves as an invaluable resource and a poignant reminder of the Seminole Indians' enduring spirit. MacCauley invites readers to engage with a rich cultural heritage and to reflect on the implications of colonization, making it a crucial addition to any library.

    We broke our new series on learning Spanish down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Spanish.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Spanish decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Spanish speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Spanish. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Spanish at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Spanish, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
    Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
    This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.
