Beschreibung

Sacred Land Rights explores the complex history of indigenous land rights, examining how legal systems have both dispossessed and, at times, protected indigenous communities. It delves into the historical dispossession of indigenous lands through legal doctrines, the emergence of indigenous rights movements, and the impacts of landmark legal decisions. Understanding these battles is crucial for comprehending contemporary issues of social justice and environmental conservation. The book reveals how legal systems, often used as instruments of oppression, can also be strategically employed by indigenous communities to reclaim their ancestral lands. For instance, the concept of terra nullius was historically used to justify the seizure of indigenous territories. However, indigenous groups have utilized legal strategies to assert land claims and protect their cultural heritage. Through case studies spanning North America, Australia, and Latin America, the book illustrates the diverse legal strategies employed and their varying degrees of success.

Beginning with the historical context of indigenous land dispossession, Sacred Land Rights transitions into detailed case studies, culminating in an analysis of broader implications for international law, environmental policy, and indigenous self-determination. By drawing from legal documents, court records, and firsthand accounts, the book provides a nuanced perspective on the human impact of these legal struggles, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, politics, and indigenous rights movements.

Parenting That Works - Building...

PhD Edward R. Christophersen,...

Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends. 
 
 
 
They point out that from babyhood on through the school years, children learn these qualities by observing and interacting with their parents. In clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, parents are shown how to model and reward positive behaviors and avoid the need for ineffective, punitive discipline. 
 
 
 
Two key areas are covered in the book: building one's own skills as a parent, and then building one's child's competencies. Scores of practical examples show parents how to teach their children what is important in life, how to communicate clearly, and how to effectively discipline their child. Special parenting topics such as managing a child's behavior in public, monitoring TV, toys, and games, and handling fallout from divorce are also discussed. Listeners then learn how to build their child's basic skills by teaching him or her how to quickly get over upsets and how to play independently.

You’ll start with Spanish phonetics, mastering vowel consistency, consonant articulation, and stress patterns. You'll learn the precise tongue placement, resonance, and breath control needed for accurate pronunciation.

Through structured practice, including minimal pair exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to distinguish similar sounds and correct common pronunciation mistakes. You’ll also explore how culture influences accents, helping you connect more deeply with Spanish-speaking communities. 
A media study component teaches you how to improve pronunciation by learning from films, TV, music, and podcasts. The course wraps up with an in-depth look at major dialects, including Castilian, Caribbean, Mexican, Andean, and Rioplatense Spanish.
