Sinopsis

In 'The Adventures of the Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians in Europe' by George Catlin, the reader is immersed in a narrative that blends travelogue, cultural exploration, and ethnographic study. Written in a captivating and detailed style, the book follows the journey of Native American delegations to Europe in the 1840s, offering a unique insight into their encounters with European society and the impact of colonialism. Catlin's vivid descriptions and encounters with various European figures provide a rich tapestry of cultural exchange and colonial critique. His passionate portrayal of Native American cultures challenges prevailing Eurocentric views of the time, making this book a significant contribution to the ethnographic genre. George Catlin, an American painter and traveler, was deeply inspired by the indigenous peoples of North America. His close relationships with Native American tribes fueled his desire to document their way of life and challenge Western perceptions. His experiences traveling with Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians to Europe led to the creation of this groundbreaking book, which reflects his commitment to preserving and promoting indigenous cultures. I highly recommend 'The Adventures of the Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians in Europe' to readers interested in ethnography, Native American history, or colonial studies. Catlin's passionate and detailed account offers a unique perspective on cultural exchange and highlights the resilience of indigenous peoples in the face of colonialism.

    Did you grow up with a parent who has borderline personality disorder (BPD), or you suspect they did? Was your parent's behavior unpredictable or scary? Did it seem like they were angry one minute and happy the next? Were your basic needs ignored? If so, it wasn't your fault. Children raised by a parent with BPD are subjected to a number of unhealthy and damaging behaviors—from uncontrolled anger and abuse, to gaslighting, blame-shifting, lying, and more. As a result of these experiences, you may have developed feelings of guilt, insecurity, and depression that have lingered throughout your adult life. 
     
     
     
    This compassionate guide offers a trauma-informed approach to help you recover from your toxic childhood and discover the person you were truly meant to be. You'll learn how to identify emotional and developmental wounds, and discover why interactions with your parents were so harmful to your sense of self. Then, you'll learn to create strong interpersonal boundaries and overcome feelings of guilt, anger, and low self-worth. Finally, through the act of emotional reprocessing, you'll reclaim those aspects of yourself that were lost or distorted by your trauma, so you can restart healthy growth processes and become the person you were meant to be. If you're carrying the hidden wounds of a toxic childhood, you're not alone—and you can heal.

    What are Islamic State is seeking to create a civil war in France; that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons; that Vladimir Putin is trying to destabilise our democracies; that terrorism has struck France, not for what it does, but for what it is; that the genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 victims?... Literally none, but these assertions are enough to establish the foreign policy of Western countries. The author, a former agent of the Swiss strategic intelligence service, reviews the main contemporary conflicts that Western countries have managed with fake news over the last thirty years. Jacques Baud, a colonel, chemical and nuclear weapons expert, trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare, designed the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and its Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA). In the service of the United Nations, he served as Chief of Doctrine for Peacekeeping Operations in New York, and was engaged in Africa. In NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms. He is the author of several books on intelligence, asymmetric warfare and terrorism.
