Sinopse

Rock Gems Glow explores the fascinating story of Zuni jewelry and its profound economic and cultural impact on the Zuni Pueblo. This art form, deeply rooted in Zuni traditions, has become a vital source of economic empowerment for the community. The book examines not only the evolution of Zuni jewelry, including lapidary techniques and intricate designs, but also its role in preserving cultural heritage. Intriguingly, Zuni jewelry transitioned from primarily ceremonial use to a significant income source, demonstrating the adaptability and resilience of indigenous art.

 
The book progresses from introducing Zuni culture and artistic history to detailing jewelry techniques and analyzing economic factors like supply chains and market dynamics. It argues that Zuni jewelry exemplifies how indigenous art can drive economic development while maintaining cultural integrity, challenging conventional economic models. Through ethnographic fieldwork and economic analysis, Rock Gems Glow reveals how craftsmanship, cultural tourism, and community development are intertwined, offering a unique perspective on art economics.

    With opportunities for black men limited in post-World War II London, Rick Braithwaite, a former Royal Air Force pilot and Cambridge-educated engineer, accepts a teaching position that puts him in charge of a class of angry, unmotivated, bigoted white teenagers whom the system has mostly abandoned. When his efforts to reach these troubled students are met with threats, suspicion, and derision, Braithwaite takes a radical new approach. He will treat his students as people poised to enter the adult world. He will teach them to respect themselves and to call him Sir. He will open up vistas before them that they never knew existed. And over the course of a remarkable year, he will touch the lives of his students in extraordinary ways-even as they, in turn, unexpectedly and profoundly touch his. Based on actual events in the author's life, To Sir, With Love is a powerfully moving story that celebrates courage, commitment, and vision and that inspired the classic film starring Sidney Poitier.

    Judges are society’s elders and experts, our masters and mediators. We depend on them to dispense justice with integrity, deliberation, and efficiency. Yet judges, as Alexander Hamilton famously noted, lack the power of the purse or the sword. They must rely almost entirely on their reputations to secure compliance with their decisions, obtain resources, and maintain their political influence. In Judicial Reputation, Nuno Garoupa and Tom Ginsburg explain how reputation is not only an essential quality of the judiciary as a whole, but also of individual judges. Perceptions of judicial systems around the world range from widespread admiration to utter contempt, and as judges participate within these institutions some earn respect, while others are scorned. Judicial Reputation explores how judges respond to the reputational incentives provided by the different audiences they interact with—lawyers, politicians, the media, and the public itself—and how institutional structures mediate these interactions. The judicial structure is best understood not through the lens of legal culture or tradition, but through the economics of information and reputation. Transcending those conventional lenses, Garoupa and Ginsburg employ their long-standing research on the latter to examine the fascinating effects that governmental interactions, multicourt systems, extrajudicial work, and the international rule-of-law movement have had on the reputations of judges in this era.

He champions reason, science, and free inquiry as a better way to understand the world.

After his father’s sudden death, Charlie is forced to confront his complicated family history and meet his charismatic brother, Spider, who fully embraces their divine heritage. As the brothers’ contrasting personalities and powers collide, the story explores themes of identity, family, legacy, and self-acceptance. Blending humor with mythology, Gaiman examines how personal growth often requires reconciling with one’s past and understanding one’s true self.
