Sinopsis

Cultural Preservation explores the struggles and triumphs of indigenous communities worldwide as they work to protect their cultural heritage. It highlights how forces like colonialism and globalization have threatened languages, traditions, and cultural identity, while also showcasing the innovative strategies these communities employ to revitalize their cultures. For instance, the book examines language revitalization programs and cultural heritage tourism as key components of community development and self-determination.

 
The book argues that cultural preservation is not just about preserving the past; it's a dynamic process vital for social justice and human rights. It analyzes the roles of international organizations and governments in supporting these efforts, emphasizing the importance of indigenous-led initiatives. Through case studies and interdisciplinary analysis, Cultural Preservation details preservation strategies in action, addressing topics from Maori language revival to the protection of sacred sites.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces key concepts, then explores specific examples, and finally analyzes the broader implications for reconciliation and sustainable development. It emphasizes the agency of indigenous communities and offers practical recommendations for supporting their cultural preservation efforts, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in history, social science, and indigenous rights.

The Women Are Up to Something -...

Benjamin J. B. Lipscomb

On the cusp of the Second World War, four women went to Oxford to begin their studies: a fiercely brilliant Catholic convert; a daughter of privilege longing to escape her stifling upbringing; an ardent Communist and aspiring novelist with a list of would-be lovers as long as her arm; and a quiet, messy lover of newts and mice who would become a great public intellectual of our time. They became lifelong friends. At the time, only a handful of women had ever made lives in philosophy. But when Oxford's men were drafted in the war, everything changed. 
 
 
 
As Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch labored to make a place for themselves in a male-dominated world, as they made friendships and families, and as they drifted toward and away from each other, they never stopped insisting that some lives are better than others. They argued that courage and discernment and justice—and love—are the heart of a good life. 
 
 
 
This book presents the first sustained engagement with these women's contributions: with the critique and the alternative they framed. Drawing on a cluster of recently opened archives and extensive correspondence and interviews with those who knew them best, Benjamin Lipscomb traces the lives and ideas of four friends who gave us a better way to think about ethics, and ourselves.

High Sensitivity and Mental Health

Manuela Pérez Chacón, Antonio...

The interest generated by our first book on High Sensitivity has encouraged us to continue with the dissemination of the trait. This second book focuses more on the difficulties experienced by highly sensitive people as well as on the psychological abilities they possess. Knowing how to manage the trait of High Sensitivity is fundamental to achieve the maximum potential in the personal growth of the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Hence the importance of knowing how to meet the needs of highly sensitive children (HSC) from an early age. HSC children become HSP adults. Solve the issue from childhood, avoid the need for treatments later on. Throughout life, the HSP can go through transient psychological problems or disorders, derived from mismanagement of their trait. In these pages, we try to reflect real examples of people who have come to a psychology consultation looking for a solution to the ”bumps in the road”. Many HSPs discover it in the wake of one of these ups and downs in their lives. Knowing how to take the right path, choosing to have people close to them who respect the HSP trait, and learning to set limits, are the objectives most demanded by the HSPs who are treated by a mental health professional. This book aims to help both the reader, as well as the health or medical professional since, based on our experience as professional experts of High Sensitivity, we try to offer solutions to the problems that arise from being a HSP, examples of people who have gone through the same stages, as well as show some of the most common disorders derived from having this particular personality trait. Although being a HSP or HSC is not a disorder, it is necessary to learn to adapt to today`s society until society becomes familiar with High Sensitivity.
