Sinopsis

Jungle Tech Blossoms explores the surprising ways forest tribes around the world are using mobile technology. It argues that mobile phones, often seen as homogenizing forces, can actually empower indigenous communities. The book highlights how these technologies facilitate economic empowerment through direct trade and support cultural preservation by enabling the documentation and dissemination of traditions. For example, mobile banking allows tribes to bypass intermediaries, leading to fairer prices for their goods. The book uniquely emphasizes the agency of these communities, showcasing how they adapt and repurpose technology to their specific needs.

 
Moving from access and affordability to economic and cultural impacts, the book uses case studies from the Amazon, Southeast Asia, and Central Africa. It examines how mobile technology helps preserve languages and oral histories, while also addressing challenges like misinformation and the digital divide.

 
Ultimately, Jungle Tech Blossoms provides a nuanced perspective on technology's role in marginalized communities. By blending ethnographic fieldwork and statistical analysis, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, technology companies, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology, social justice, and the future of tribal communities.

    History casts a long, bloody shadow. For Native women, violence is a devastating reality; murder rates are ten times the national average, making it the third leading cause of death for young women and girls. This brutal truth haunts the Chickamauga people, whose history includes a forgotten 1777 massacre near Nickajack where women and children were slaughtered. In 2024, the echoes of this past resurface as four Chickamauga women, the Tushka Homma (Red Warriors), find themselves linked by disturbing dreams of the massacre. Their spiritual journey takes a dark turn when a Cheveyo (Spirit Warrior) calls upon them. This spirit is the restless soul of Pauline Adair Walker, a fellow tribal member murdered in 2017, another victim of the violence plaguing Native women. The Red Warriors must confront this legacy of violence, both past and present, to unmask Pauline's killer and expose a truth buried for centuries. The ancestors are watching. The Cheveyo has returned. Justice awaits.

    Der didaktische Wert von Picturebooks für den Englischunterricht in der Grundschule gilt als unumstritten. Jedoch gibt es in Forschung und Unterrichtspraxis derzeit kaum Ansätze, wie der Transfer dieses vermeintlich kindlichen Literaturmediums in die Sekundarstufe gelingen kann. Dieser Band legitimiert Picturebooks als komplex angelegte Textform, die sich auch mit fortgeschrittenen Lernenden zu kompetenz- und inhaltsorientierter Arbeit im Englischunterricht anbietet. Die im Band versammelten konzeptuellen und empirischen Perspektiven zeigen angehenden und praktizierenden Lehrkräften konkret auf, wie vielfältig Picturebooks den Unterricht bereichern können. Eine große Bandbreite praktischer Beispiele verdeutlicht ihr Potenzial für den Englischunterricht der Sekundarstufen - von der Förderung verschiedener literacies und literarischen Lernens bis hin zur Fokussierung von Themen wie Umwelt, sozialer Gerechtigkeit oder kultureller Diversität.

    *****Audiobook format of The New Fight for Life - ECPA's 2024 Faith and Culture Award Nominee***** The battle over the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade may be over, but now a bigger fight lies ahead. For over half a century, pro-life advocates have fought to protect the sanctity of human life. Now that the decision the pro-life community has been waiting and praying for has finally become a reality, a question remains: Now what? How do we continue to stand for life for everyone who bears the image of God―from womb to tomb? And if abortion disproportionately impacts the poor and the marginalized, specifically Black Americans, why should we seize this new opportunity to make right what has gone terribly wrong? Benjamin Watson, author of Under Our Skin and a former NFL player who now serves as VP of strategic relationships with Human Coalition, a pro-life organization based in Dallas, wants to galvanize the church and the pro-life movement in this new era. In The New Fight for Life, Watson    leads us into a new understanding of pro-life advocacy,  shows how we can move past political debate and culture wars, and  envisions a new path forward that promotes life by committing to human flourishing and holistic justice.  We can create a culture where abortion is both unthinkable and unnecessary. How? By relentlessly pursuing a more just world―for everyone.

    State of the Union 1987

    The 1987 State of the Union Address delivered January 27, 1987, in the 200th anniversary year of the U.S. Constitution, notes dramatic improvements in the inflation rate, interest rates, housing starts, and the unemployment rate. Reagan regrets the Iran-Contra controversy and promises to get to the bottom of it and take whatever action is called for. 
    Though the Soviets transferred $75 billion in weapons to client-states like Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, the Congress cut administration requests for security assistance and defense. There “is no surer way to lose freedom than to lose our resolve.” As President Truman said: “International communism seeks to crush and undermine and destroy the independence of the Americas. We cannot let that happen here.” 
    Our Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI, “is the most positive and promising defense program we have undertaken. It's the path, for both sides, to a safer future -- a system that defends human life instead of threatening it.” 
    We support free trade and “expanding peaceful commerce across the world.” We remain opposed as ever to protectionism…” 
    The “federal deficit is outrageous.” We need “a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget”. We need “a line-item veto so we can carve out the boondoggles and pork…” “We have deficits because big government spends too much.” 
    The U.S. Constitution “grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free -- that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”
