Sinopse

Ridge Fields Flourish explores the intersection of economics, world history, and indigenous agricultural practices in the Andes. It examines how Quechua farmers adapted their traditional techniques, particularly ridge field agriculture (waru waru), to meet the demands of an evolving market economy. This agricultural system, developed by pre-Columbian societies, demonstrates both ecological benefits and productivity, providing insights into sustainable agriculture. The book traces the integration of Andean communities into regional and global markets, analyzing how increased demand for crops like potatoes and quinoa influenced farming practices. It argues that economic adaptation is a dynamic process shaped by historical context, social structures, and environmental constraints. By incorporating archival documents, ethnographic studies, and economic models, Ridge Fields Flourish offers a comprehensive perspective on agricultural adaptation.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the history and agronomy of ridge field agriculture. It then assesses changes in crop selection and land management resulting from market integration, using case studies of specific crops and regions. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the long-term consequences of market integration on Quechua agricultural systems.

Self-as-Context in Therapy -...

Beate M.E. Ebert, PhD Steven C....

Self-as-context is one of the most important of the six core processes of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), yet it is also one of the least understood. Many therapists struggle to fully implement it in their practice—perhaps due to a lack of concrete techniques for real world application—or they may become stuck when facing roadblocks in-session. So how can you gain a deeper understanding of self-as-context as a behavior and learn practical interventions for empowering clients with this essential capacity? 
Self-as-Context in Therapy takes a challenging concept and translates it into an accessible, actionable process for helping clients cultivate a more flexible self and take valued action. You will start with an exploration of how the self develops, and the clinical implications of inhibiting factors in this process. 
Finally, the book offers simple strategies to train clients in self-as-context, so they can integrate key lessons and techniques into their daily lives. 
If you're looking for resources to help your clients embrace new possibilities and move toward a life more deeply aligned with their values, this comprehensive guide can help you get started.
