  Nazca Civilization - The...

  The Nazca civilization emerged along the southern coast of present-day Peru, a harsh and arid region that required ingenuity and adaptation for survival. Flourishing between approximately 100 BCE and 800 CE, the Nazca people built upon the cultural and technological advancements of their predecessors, most notably the Paracas culture. The transition from the Paracas to the Nazca was marked by shifts in artistic expression, religious practices, and innovations in agriculture that allowed the new civilization to thrive in the desert landscape. 
  One of the defining characteristics of the Nazca civilization was its ability to adapt to the unforgiving environment. The region’s climate was dry, with little rainfall, yet the Nazca found ways to harness the limited water supply to sustain their agricultural economy. They engineered underground aqueducts known as puquios, a sophisticated irrigation system that transported water from underground sources to the surface, ensuring a steady supply for crops. This ingenuity allowed them to cultivate maize, beans, squash, and cotton, which became essential to their diet and economy. 
  The Nazca culture was also shaped by its geography. The valleys of the Rio Grande de Nazca provided fertile land where the civilization’s settlements and ceremonial centers flourished. Unlike the grand urban centers of the Andean highlands, the Nazca people lived in smaller, dispersed communities that relied on a combination of agriculture and trade. These communities were connected by a shared cultural and religious framework that revolved around the worship of powerful deities linked to nature, fertility, and water.

These displaced individuals, known as refugees, face an uncertain future, often enduring unimaginable hardships in their quest for safety and stability. As of recent estimates, more than 100 million people have been forcibly displaced, with a significant portion seeking refuge in countries that already face their own social, political, and economic challenges.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach 
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules 
  - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules 
  - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners 
  - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text

  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  Upside Down - A Primer for the...

  Eduardo Galeano

  • 0

  From the winner of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, a bitingly funny, kaleidoscopic vision of the First World through the eyes of the Third.Eduardo Galeano, author of the incomparable Memory of Fire Trilogy, combines a novelist's intensity, a poet's lyricism, a journalist's fearlessness, and the strong judgments of an engaged historian. Now his talents are richly displayed in Upside Down, an eloquent, passionate, sometimes hilarious exposé of our first-world privileges and assumptions.In a series of lesson plans and a “program of study” about our beleaguered planet, Galeano takes the reader on a wild trip through the global looking glass. From a master class in “The Impunity of Power” to a seminar on “The Sacred Car” —with tips along the way on “How to Resist Useless Vices” and a declaration of “The Right to Rave” —he surveys a world unevenly divided between abundance and deprivation, carnival and torture, power and helplessness. We have accepted a reality we should reject, Galeano teaches us, one where machines are more precious than humans, people are hungry, poverty kills, and children toil from dark to dark.A work of fire and charm, Upside Down makes us see the world anew and even glimpse how it might be set right.“Galeano's outrage is tempered by intelligence, an ineradicable sense of humor, and hope.” —Los Angeles Times
