Beschreibung

Arid Beauty Sells explores the evolving trade of Himba crafts in Namibia, examining the intersection of tradition, globalization, and economic development. This book delves into how Himba women, traditionally known for their pastoral lifestyle, are increasingly selling crafts in urban centers. One intriguing aspect is the delicate balance between providing economic opportunities and the potential for cultural commodification. The book highlights the social impact of this trade on Himba communities, including shifts in gender roles and intergenerational relationships. The approach uses qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews and ethnographic observations, to provide a comprehensive analysis. It addresses critical issues such as cultural preservation, fair trade, and the challenges faced by indigenous communities in the global marketplace. The structure progresses from introducing the Himba people and their traditions, to analyzing the economics of the craft trade, its social effects, and cultural implications, ultimately offering recommendations for sustainable tourism models. By understanding these dynamics, Arid Beauty Sells offers valuable insights into the complexities of cultural tourism and its impact on marginalized communities.

    The New Girls - Drastic Choices...

    You cannot undo this, one of the surgeons told me, you have to be sure. I was sure. My choices were frightening, grim and daunting. I possess the rare Breast Cancer genetic mutation BRCA2 and I saw it as a death sentence. My choices were drastic, my actions were immediate.   Complete Hysterectomy followed by Prophylactic Double Mastectomy with Reconstruction. I will never be the same. In so many ways. It was, and is, such a journey.  
    I clearly remember when Angelina Jolie first publicized her preventive mastectomy; it was a shock, almost unthinkable, to remove healthy organs from a healthy body. My perspective on that has certainly changed; I followed in her footsteps! She is brave, a pioneer, but did not tell of her experience.  
    The New Girls fills that gap, and describes with candor, humor and raw emotion, what it was like to undergo such extensive surgery. It was not easy. The rewards, however, are tremendous! I took my Breast Cancer risk from almost certain to nearly zero.  At first, I wanted my transformation to be a secret, so that people would not know what I have done. When I realized how little awareness there is, the desire to share my experience, to help people, simply grew and grew.  I started this book while in recovery; it’s entitled The New Girls because that is what I call my new breasts, and they are the protagonists;)! 
    I sincerely hope that my story lets people facing the same or similar decisions know they are not alone. I felt alone, uninformed, without clear information about what to expect, what it would feel like. Please listen to, share and embrace The New Girls.

    A brilliant and courageous doctor reveals, in gripping accounts of true cases, the power and limits of modern medicine.Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This audio is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is -- complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human. Atul Gawande offers an unflinching view from the scalpel's edge, where science is ambiguous, information is limited, the stakes are high, yet decisions must be made. In dramatic and revealing stories of patients and doctors, he explores how deadly mistakes occur and why good surgeons go bad. He also shows us what happens when medicine comes up against the inexplicable: an architect with incapacitating back pain for which there is no physical cause; a young woman with nausea that won't go away; a television newscaster whose blushing is so severe that she cannot do her job. Gawande offers a richly detailed portrait of the people and the science, even as he tackles the paradoxes and imperfections inherent in caring for human lives.At once tough-minded and humane, Complications is a new kind of medical writing, nuanced and lucid, unafraid to confront the conflicts and uncertainties that lie at the heart of modern medicine, yet always alive to the possibilities of wisdom in this extraordinary endeavor.Complications is a 2002 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.

    From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
     
     
     
    Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
     
     
     
    Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.

    In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
     
     
     
    At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.
