Traditions of the North American Indians (Vol 1-3) - Enriched edition Tales of an Indian Camp

James Athearn Jones

Sinopse

James Athearn Jones' monumental trilogy, "Traditions of the North American Indians" (Vol. 1-3), serves as a comprehensive chronicle of the mythologies, customs, and oral histories of Indigenous peoples across North America. With a rich narrative style characterized by meticulous detail and a reverence for cultural authenticity, Jones weaves together a tapestry that brings to life the spiritual and practical traditions of various tribes. Grounded in the anthropological context of the late 19th century, this work presents not only narratives but also critiques of prevailing misconceptions about Native American societies, paving the way for both appreciation and understanding of their complexities. Jones, an influential figure in early American literature and anthropology, undertook this project during a time of significant cultural change, driven by his desire to preserve Indigenous narratives that were at risk of vanishing. His extensive research was informed by first-hand accounts, as well as the erudition of Native scholars, reflecting a deep respect for the subjects he portrayed. This dedication illustrates his commitment to capturing the essence and integrity of these communities at a pivotal moment in American history. Highly recommended for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Native American culture, "Traditions of the North American Indians" offers invaluable insights into the diverse traditions and stories that have shaped Indigenous identity. This work not only informs but also fosters a profound appreciation for the resilience and richness of Native cultures, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in American history and ethnography.

Operation Typhoon - Hitler's...

David Stahel

In October 1941, Hitler launched Operation Typhoon—the German drive to capture Moscow and knock the Soviet Union out of the war. As the last chance to escape the dire implications of a winter campaign, Hitler directed seventy-five German divisions, almost two million men and three of Germany's four panzer groups into the offensive, resulting in huge victories at Viaz'ma and Briansk—among the biggest battles of the Second World War. David Stahel's groundbreaking new account of Operation Typhoon captures the perspectives of both the German high command and individual soldiers, revealing that despite success on the battlefield the wider German war effort was in far greater trouble than is often acknowledged. Germany's hopes of final victory depended on the success of the October offensive but the autumn conditions and the stubborn resistance of the Red Army ensured that the capture of Moscow was anything but certain.

The Unmasking Workbook for...

LPC-S Jessica Penot

If you grew up before the neurodiversity movement, chances are you were taught at an early age that your autistic traits were "wrong" or "bad." Whether it was stimming, difficulties with making small talk, avoiding eye contact, sensitivities to loud sounds or certain textures, or even talking passionately about the things you care about—somewhere along the way you learned to mask these aspects of yourself to better fit in, avoid bullying from other kids, and in some cases to even gain the love of your own parents. The problem is that, over time, masking can lead to higher levels of stress, burnout, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and depression. So how can you be your authentic self and still succeed and thrive in a neurotypical world? 
 
 
 
Written by a therapist who is actually autistic, this neurodiversity-affirming workbook offers skills to help you cultivate self-acceptance, manage intense emotions, and be your own advocate when needed. You'll take a good look at the situations or people that caused you to mask in the first place. 
 
 
  
You don't have to mask, hide, or camouflage any longer. Let this workbook guide you on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance. You are worthy of it. And you deserve it.
