  Māori journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand has become a vibrant industry, reporting through
  print, radio, television and the internet. This book looks at the history of Māori journalism and the
  elements that make it what it is today. The \author examines the way that news values common in English-speaking countries are reinterpreted for a Māori worldview and analyses news stories to
  show how Māori perspectives are expressed. She also identifies how elements of whaikōrero have
  been refashioned for news and the ways tapu and noa are managed by news teams. A host of well-known reporters share their perspectives on their work. They describe how they got into reporting, and we learn what happens as they gather information and produce their stories. In particular, we see how these journalists balance the demands of journalism and tikanga.

  The *Simple Sabotage Field Manual*, created in 1944 by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), is a unique World War II-era document that provides guidance on simple methods of sabotage. Originally intended for citizens in enemy-occupied territories, it describes easy-to-execute tactics for disrupting enemy operations without special tools or skills. The manual covers areas such as industrial sabotage, transportation interference, and general workplace disruption, encouraging small acts like misplacing tools, giving incorrect directions, or insisting on unnecessary bureaucracy to lower productivity and morale. Emphasizing the power of collective minor disruptions, this field manual offers a fascinating look at unconventional resistance strategies and reflects the ingenuity of wartime intelligence efforts. Now in the public domain, it serves as a historical document on guerrilla tactics and psychological warfare.

  Landscapes of the Soul - How the...

  Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can't build connection or intimacy with God like others can?
  There's a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.
  No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually—and how to get unstuck and move forward.
  Whether you feel like you're living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:
  
  - how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachment
  - how things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategies
  - how God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselves
  - how Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faith
  - how to incorporate practices for building your security with God
  You aren't meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone. God designed you to live in joy and peace in relationship with Him, as if you are in a pasture, under the protective care of the Good Shepherd.

  Southern Beauty - Race Ritual...

  Elizabeth Bronwyn Boyd

  In a trio of popular gender rituals—sorority rush, beauty pageants, and the Confederate Pageant of the Natchez (Mississippi) Pilgrimage—young white southern women have readily ditched contemporary modes of dress and comportment for performances of purity, gentility, and deference. Clearly, the ability to "do" white southern womanhood, convincingly and on cue, has remained a valued performance. 
   
   
   
  Based on ethnographic research and more than sixty taped interviews, Southern Beauty goes behind the scenes of the three rituals to explore the motivations and rewards associated with participation. The picture that Boyd paints is not pretty: it is one of southern beauties securing status and sustaining segregation by making nostalgic gestures to the southern past. Boyd also maintains that the audiences for these rituals and pageants have been complicit, unwilling to acknowledge the beauties' racial work or their investment in it. 
   
   
   
  Southern Beauty moves beyond representations to show how femininity in motion—stylized and predictable but ephemeral—has succeeded as an enduring emblem, where other symbols faltered, by failing to draw scrutiny. Continuing to make the moves of region and race even as many Confederate symbols have been retired, the southern beauty has persisted, maintaining power and privilege through consistent performance.

  The American Dream - A History...

  The roots of the American Dream reach back to the earliest colonial settlements, when European settlers arrived with hopes of building a better life far from the constraints of their homelands. For many, the New World offered something previously unimaginable—land ownership, religious freedom, and the possibility of rising above the station into which they were born. These opportunities, though limited to a select group at the time, laid the foundation for the evolving idea that anyone could succeed through hard work and determination. In this fertile but dangerous land, ambition was a necessity, and the early colonists began to shape a cultural identity around individualism and perseverance. 
  As the colonies grew and developed, tensions with Britain intensified, giving rise to revolutionary ideas that would further fuel the American Dream. The rejection of monarchy and the assertion of natural rights became central to the vision of a new nation. The Revolution itself was not just a fight for independence but also a declaration that ordinary people had the right to govern themselves. The rhetoric of the time emphasized liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness—concepts that would become permanently embedded in the national consciousness. The struggle to gain freedom was brutal and uneven, but the ideals expressed during this time continued to inspire generations to believe in the possibility of social mobility and personal fulfillment. 
  One of the most significant documents in American history, the Declaration of Independence, formalized the promise of the American Dream. Its bold claim that "all men are created equal" introduced a national aspiration that transcended the immediate political conflict. Although in practice this equality was far from realized, the statement set a powerful ideal against which future Americans would measure their progress.
