Summary

Coast Waters Blend investigates the intricate history of Māori education in Aotearoa New Zealand, highlighting the dynamic interplay between indigenous knowledge and Western educational systems. It examines how state-controlled education policies impacted the Māori language and culture, sometimes leading to suppression, while also exploring the resurgence of Māori-medium education initiatives like kōhanga reo aimed at cultural revitalization and academic success. The book uniquely emphasizes the ongoing cultural negotiation within Māori education, showcasing how indigenous knowledge constantly adapts to external influences.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with pre-colonial Māori society and its knowledge transmission methods, then moving through missionary-led education and the subsequent state-controlled policies. A key insight is how early missionary schools, while introducing literacy, also served as tools for cultural assimilation.

 
The later chapters focus on contemporary Māori-medium education, analyzing the successes and challenges in revitalizing the Māori language and culture through initiatives like kura kaupapa Māori and wānanga. By drawing on historical documents, oral histories, and contemporary data, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of Māori education.

 
It culminates in a discussion of culturally responsive educational practices, advocating for policies that empower Māori students and promote equitable outcomes. This approach offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in indigenous education and cultural preservation.

    The days of two genders—male, female; boy, girl; blue, pink—are over, if they ever existed at all. Gender is now a global conversation, and one that is constantly evolving. More people than ever before are openly living their lives as transgender men or women, and many transgender people are coming out as neither men nor women, instead living outside of the binary. Gender is changing, and this change is gaining momentum. 
     
     
     
    We all want to do and say the right things in relation to gender diversity—whether at a job interview, at parent/teacher night, and around the table at family dinners. But where do we begin? 
     
     
     
    From the differences among gender identity, gender expression, and sex, to the use of gender-neutral pronouns like singular they/them, to thinking about your own participation in gender, Gender: Your Guide serves as "a warm, inviting guide to a complicated area" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Professor and gender diversity advocate Lee Airton, PhD, explains how gender works in everyday life; how to use accurate terminology to refer to transgender, non-binary, and/or gender non-conforming individuals; and how to ask when you aren't sure what to do or say. It provides the information you need to talk confidently and compassionately about gender diversity, whether simply having a conversation or going to bat as an advocate.

    This is a bundle of 3 titles, which cover the following topics: 
    Title 1: Learning to understand ourselves, the dark and the light, the kind and the cruel, that exists within each one of us, has been a driving factor in psychological studies. 
    Machiavellianism in psychology refers to a personality trait which sees a person so focused on their own interests they will manipulate, deceive, and exploit others to achieve their goals. This audiobook will dive deeper into this topic along with related factors, such as how they control and manipulate others and the consequences that come with it. This audiobook will shed some light on how to spot a manipulator and how to outwit one. Listen about various blackmail tactics and how to spot and avoid some of the most common scams on the internet. 
    Title 2: Since our various vehicles were created, from the train, to the car, to the plane, to the sub, to the rocket, our world has gotten so much smaller, now, space is the last great frontier. There is another unknown great frontier, one that we are only beginning to discover, the human mind, especially the subconscious. Our emotions, our thoughts, that gut instinct telling you something isn’t right. It’s all linked to the subconscious. 
    Our subconscious is a very powerful thing, and just like every other powerful thing in the world, it’s dangerous. In fact, our own subconscious is more dangerous to us than it is to others. 
    Title 3: Abuse. It’s wrong, it’s terrible no matter what form it takes. When most of you hear the word abuse you think of one of the physical kinds of abuse. For others, they think of a different kind of abuse, verbal, emotional, psychological, and mental; there are others, but this book focuses on verbal abuse.

    The End of America? - A Guide to...

    America was the shining city on a hill. It was the country at the forefront of the world democratic order, the global policeman, the might of its military matched only by the depth of its financial reserves. America was the one the world listened to, whether it wanted to or not. So, what happened?
    Well, a lot of things. In this searing account, Alan Friedman shows how, from the disastrous Vietnam War to Barack Obama's bungled response to the Arab Spring, American intervention has ceased to be the decisive action it once was. And now, with the rise of China and Russia, coupled with America's prostration of itself following the election of Donald Trump, the decline of its authority is only hastening.
    We move now, Friedman argues, into the New World Disorder. In this dangerous and unstable world, the Washington-enforced liberal order is receding, and a new set of alliances and anxieties are in ascendence. What is America's place in this? Which powers are going to emerge as the leaders? Will the European Union count at all? One thing is for sure: the effects of the New World Disorder will challenge our Western values to breaking point.
