Beschreibung

In "The Iroquois Book of Rites," Horatio Hale meticulously compiles and analyzes the rich tapestry of ritual practices and ceremonies of the Iroquois Confederacy. Richly woven with ethnographic detail and linguistic insights, Hale's work not only serves as a chronicle of indigenous customs but also engages in a nuanced exploration of the spirituality and philosophy embedded in Iroquois culture. The text stands out for its anthropological lens, bridging literary narrative and scholarly analysis, thus contributing significantly to the corpus of Native American studies and ethnology during the late 19th century. Horatio Hale, a prominent linguist and ethnographer of his time, brought to bear a profound appreciation for indigenous languages and cultures. His experiences with the Iroquois, coupled with his academic pursuits, shaped his understanding of the intricate bond between ritual practices and identity in Native American societies. Hale's prior work and participation in the study of languages uniquely positioned him to convey the depth and complexity of Iroquois rites, reflecting a deep respect for their cultural legacy. This book is essential for anyone interested in the intersection of anthropology, Native American history, and ritual studies. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Hale's work an invaluable resource that not only preserves but also interprets the vibrant traditions of the Iroquois, offering profound insights into their worldview and cultural significance.

    Some of the most important and little-known activists of the 1960s were poor and working-class radicals. Inspired by the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and progressive populism, they started to organize significant political struggles against racism and inequality during the 1960s and into the 1970s. 
     
     
      
    Historians of the period have traditionally emphasized the work of white college activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have often been painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. But authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie disprove that narrative. 
     
     
      
    Through over ten years of research, interviewing activists along with unprecedented access to their personal archives, Tracy and Sonnie tell a crucial, untold story of the New Left. Their deeply sourced narrative history shows how poor and working-class individuals from diverse ethnic, rural and urban backgrounds cooperated and drew strength from one another. The groups they founded redefined community organizing, and transformed the lives and communities they touched.

    "Once again give me this earth, once again the sky and universe, once again this land blessed by the moon, once again this land of plenty." The Rig Veda "Whenever we take birth, may our deeds be such that we get a pure mind, long life, good health, vitality, intellect, strong sense organs and a powerful body. In next life also, keep us away from bad deeds and indulge us in noble actions." The Yajur Veda 4.15 "One who conducts noble actions obtains noble lives in next births with strong body and sharp intellect. Those who conduct bad deeds get birth in lower species. To experience the fruits of past actions is natural trait of soul. After death, the soul resides in Vayu, Jala, Aushadhi etc. and again enters the womb to take next birth." Athar Veda 5.1.2 Death - it comes to us all. it is a sacrifice for the good life we lead at the end of our long fortuitous road. Or is it? For millenniums the yogis of India following the ancient Vedic path have clearly spoken about what we call in the west- life after death. To the unenlightened materialist life begins with birth and ends with the final inevitable dissolution of the gross material body. But to the enlightened ones ordinary life and death are seen as nothing particularly special - and at most the unclouded end of the infinite beginning. It is true that some of the more virtuous and godly among us may escape the never ending wheel of repeated birth and death however most are commanded to return to this material world by the process of reincarnation, or if they are particularly unlucky hover around this gross material sphere for untold eons as homeless, restless, disembodied, hopeless, spirits. It is of these unfortunate souls to whom we address this most unique Icon audiobook presentation. Here for the first time is the secret yoga of the ghostly realms and our rebirth beyond.

    The media plays an essential role in shaping public perception, influencing opinions, and determining which issues receive attention. Every day, millions of people rely on news outlets to stay informed, trusting that journalists will present facts objectively. However, the reality is far more complex. Media bias is an undeniable force that affects how stories are reported, which facts are emphasized, and how narratives are framed. This bias can be subtle or overt, intentional or unintentional, but its consequences are profound.  
      
    Throughout history, media bias has been used as a tool for persuasion, propaganda, and agenda-setting. Governments, corporations, and interest groups have long recognized the power of controlling information. Whether through selective reporting, misleading headlines, or emotional language, media outlets can manipulate public sentiment. The question is not whether bias exists, but how it manifests and how it influences society.  
      
    One of the biggest challenges in recognizing bias is its ability to blend seamlessly into seemingly objective reporting. The way a journalist chooses to present a story—what details they include, the sources they cite, and even the language they use—can subtly push readers or viewers toward a particular perspective. Some media organizations openly align with political ideologies, while others claim impartiality but still reflect the interests of their ownership or advertisers. In a time when trust in journalism is declining, it is crucial to understand how bias operates and how to separate fact from opinion.
