Sinopsis

Border Disputes explores the complex history of territorial conflicts in the Americas, revealing how seemingly arbitrary lines on a map have ignited centuries of discord. It examines the enduring impact of colonialism, where European powers carved up the continent with little regard for existing indigenous land claims and societal structures.

 
Furthermore, the book highlights how resource competition and economic interests fueled disputes between newly formed nations, influencing the establishment of modern national borders. The book systematically analyzes these conflicts across different regions, starting with the colonial era and transitioning into the post-independence period. It delves into specific areas like the US-Mexico border, the Andes, and Central America, drawing from historical treaties, diplomatic records, and cartographic analysis to illustrate shifting territorial claims.

 
A unique aspect of this study is its comparative approach, which uncovers similar patterns and divergent outcomes across the Americas, offering a nuanced understanding of the forces shaping the continent's geopolitical landscape. The conclusion synthesizes these regional case studies, providing insights into potential pathways for conflict resolution. By understanding the historical roots of territorial disputes, the book provides context for current geopolitical flashpoints and offers valuable perspectives on international relations, making it relevant for anyone interested in history, political science, and the ongoing controversies surrounding immigration, trade, and resource management.

    Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. 
     
     
     
    The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than twenty-five profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.

  • Why Did That Happen? - Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful - cover

    Why Did That Happen? - Aristotle...

    Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny. 
    In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread. 
    Inside, you’ll get: 
    A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkill 
    Why your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral character 
    How causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commit 
    A final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should) 
    And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meet 
    Perfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response. 
    This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearable

  • Culturally Responsive School Leadership - cover

    Culturally Responsive School...

    Culturally Responsive School Leadership focuses on how school leaders can effectively serve minoritized students—those who have been historically marginalized in school and society. The book demonstrates how leaders can engage students, parents, teachers, and communities in ways that positively impact learning by honoring indigenous heritages and local cultural practices. 
     
     
      
    Muhammad Khalifa explores three basic premises. First, that a full-fledged and nuanced understanding of "cultural responsiveness" is essential to successful school leadership. Second, that cultural responsiveness will not flourish and succeed in schools without sustained efforts by school leaders to define and promote it. Finally, that culturally responsive school leadership comprises a number of crucial leadership behaviors, which include critical self-reflection; the development of culturally responsive teachers; the promotion of inclusive, anti-oppressive school environments; and engagement with students' indigenous community contexts. 
     
     
      
    Based on an ethnography of a school principal who exemplifies the practices and behaviors of culturally responsive school leadership, the book provides educators with pedagogy and strategies for immediate implementation.

    "If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later."—Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland 
     
     
      
    In both history and fiction, some of the most dramatic, notorious deaths have been through poisonings. Concealed and deliberate, it's a crime that requires advance planning and that for many centuries could go virtually undetected. And yet there is a fine line between healing and killing: the difference lies only in the dosage! In Botanical Curses and Poisons, Fez Inkwright returns to folkloric and historical archives to reveal the fascinating, untold stories behind a variety of lethal plants, witching herbs, and funghi. Going from A to Z, she covers everything from apple (think of the poisoned fruit in "Snow White") and the hallucinogenic angel's trumpet to laurel, which emits toxic fumes, to oleander (a deadly ornamental shrub), with each plant beautifully illustrated by the author herself. This enthralling treasury is packed with insight, lore, and the revealed mysteries of everyday flora—including the prevalence of poisoning in ancient Rome, its use in religion and magic, and common antidotes—making this perfect for gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches, and scientists alike!
