Sinopse

Indigenous Environmental Laws explores the complex intersection of indigenous rights, environmental protection, and legal systems. It critically examines the existing legal frameworks designed to safeguard indigenous lands and resources, highlighting their limitations and effectiveness. Understanding the historical context of colonization and resource extraction is essential to grasping the current legal landscape, as historical policies have shaped present-day struggles over land and resources.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts such as indigenous rights and informed consent. It then examines international treaties and domestic legal frameworks across various countries, comparing their approaches to indigenous environmental protection. Case studies of legal challenges further illustrate factors that contribute to positive outcomes for indigenous communities. The book emphasizes that existing legal frameworks often fail to adequately protect indigenous environmental rights due to systemic biases and the prioritization of economic interests.

 
This book provides a comparative analysis of legal frameworks, incorporating perspectives from indigenous legal scholars and activists. It connects to fields such as human rights law, environmental science, and political science. By providing a comprehensive overview of the legal landscape and practical strategies, the book aims to empower indigenous communities to effectively manage their lands and resources.

A Question of RESPECT - Bringing...

Ed Goeas, Celinda Lake

A Wall Street Journal–bestseller, Republican Ed Goeas and Democrat Celinda Lake present political strategies to resolve national and civil tensions.A Question of Respect speaks to voters who are tired of a political environment that ends in immovable stalemate, grounded by a political party’s voter base without addressing solutions or attempting to understand the opposing side. With more than thirty years of their joint Battleground Poll exploring the concerns of the American public, Ed and Celinda reveal that only through mutual respect will the nation be able to heal its divisions. “In providing a roadmap to respect and bipartisanship, liberal Lake and conservative Goeas offer up a very personal lesson for all of us on the final page. In acknowledging how their politically divided relationship changed over the two-year writing project, they basically said that time and listening were the best medicine. . . . Theirs is not only a cure for what ails Washington, but maybe the slave to our divided nation, packed in a powerful and concise read. Bravo.” —Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets columnist for the Washington Examiner“A very good book by very good people about a very good country in very bad times. I could not put it down. Get copies for everyone you know, especially those with whom you’ve stopped communicating.” —Mary Matalin, American political consultant “Ed and Celinda, two experienced veterans of political combat, have written a thoughtful examination of where the problems lie, and what we can do about them. It’s not a solution, that’s up to us, but it’s an invaluable roadmap that each of us should carry.” —General Stan McChrystal (Ret.)

Blowback - The Untold Story of...

Margaret Roberts

What if everything we know about one of America's darkest days is wrong? 
 
 
 
Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America's Heartland, killing 168 people, including fifteen children. History says the Oklahoma City bombing was lone wolf terrorism. But haunting fresh evidence points instead to a neo-Nazi plot in which the FBI played a hidden role. 
 
 
 
The FBI launched the biggest manhunt in its history for two suspected bombers. Yet they never captured the other suspect, known only as John Doe 2, who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon, the FBI canceled the search, saying eyewitnesses who saw John Doe 2 were mistaken. 
 
 
 
None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. How could twenty witnesses be wrong? 
 
 
 
More troubling clues lead Roberts to reopen the mystery of John Doe 2 before the thirtieth anniversary of America's deadliest domestic terror attack. Blowback chronicles her shocking discoveries, including journalism's only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh coconspirator Terry Nichols. Roberts puts the puzzle together after a whistleblower steps forward, though one burning mystery remains. Is John Doe 2 the FBI's guilty secret?

William Cavendish

Tyrell and Julia booked to travel on the Titanic with their two sons to introduce them to their American grandfather, but the children were too ill to travel. Julia persisted in going without them. The fatal and tragic decision not only led to the unnecessary loss of her husband, it was to haunt her for the next fifty years. Why was she so determined to go? In a letter written to her sons, as her death approached, she claimed the purpose of the visit was 'to gain her wealthy father's support for his son-in-law's ambition to stand as a Member of Parliament.' Yet Tyrell had shown no enthusiasm for making the journey, as Julia had already made the trip alone, the previous year quite safely. From the Carpathia Julia cabled her father, Henry Siegel, to have clothes from his department stores ready for the Titanic's survivors. In 1992 and 2002 her son and grandson learnt from chance encounters with New Yorkers of Julia's father's shocking fall from grace, the grandfather who owned a famous department store with a 'soda fountain meeting place'. Now can be revealed the true reason for her mission.
