Beschreibung

"Vanuatu Rituals" explores the enduring power of tradition in Vanuatu, examining how ceremonial practices and spiritual beliefs shape the cultural identity of the ni-Vanuatu people. The book delves into the concept of kastom, the customary law underpinning many rituals, and highlights the significance of ancestral veneration in daily life. These rituals aren't static relics but are dynamic expressions adapted to modern influences.

 
The book examines specific rituals like Naghol, also known as land diving, on Pentecost Island, emphasizing its deep spiritual meaning related to courage and renewal. It also investigates other practices, such as yam harvests and chiefly investiture, revealing their role in maintaining social order and reinforcing kinship ties.

 
The book progresses logically, first establishing historical context, then detailing rituals and beliefs, and finally analyzing the impact of external forces like tourism. By drawing on ethnographic studies, historical accounts, and oral histories, "Vanuatu Rituals" provides a comprehensive overview of the archipelago's cultural landscape. It offers a unique perspective by focusing on the active role of ni-Vanuatu people in preserving their heritage, providing valuable insights into cultural preservation in a globalized world.

    This Is Your Body on Trauma -...

    This Is Your Body on Trauma is the first book to teach readers how to use nutrition to heal underlying trauma that presents in physical symptoms. It features a unique do-it-yourself approach, allowing people to completely customize their care plan. 
      
    Trauma is pervasive, and recovery usually involves extensive talk therapy. What is often overlooked is using nutrition as a way to restore a sense of safety and self-trust. Research shows between 75 and 90 percent of physician visits are due to the wear and tear on the body from stress hormones. The gut is often our first indicator that something is awry; it is the watchtower raising the alarm, and the existence of trauma can create a negative feedback loop with the brain that leads to several quite common gut-brain axis complaints, such as anxiety, depression, IBS, and pain. 
      
    More than “just” a nutrition book, This Is Your Body on Trauma helps people make connections between what is going on in their mind and body with a unique 360-degree integrative approach to mental health. Using a unique, customizable approach, readers are given a series of experiments based on recommendations, formulating their needs and providing actionable solutions to lessen the perception of stress with nutrition. This book will help people who have experienced traumatic events as both a child and an adult, those who experience chronic stress, as well as people who have experienced food trauma heal and manage the physiological impacts of that trauma throughout their lives. 
      
    • The experiments provided in the book can be done in collaboration with a therapy or nutrition provider. 
    • This book is the only one that discusses not only nutrition for trauma (what to eat), but also applies it in a trauma-informed way (how to eat to avoid triggers).

    This gripping book by the prominent Russian journalist and analyst Sergey Shelin aims to explain why most Russians suddenly "understood" the need to attack Ukraine and Europe and are confident that their country is on the right path.
    
    Shelin, who was declared a "foreign agent" by the Putin regime and forced to leave Russia, argues that while most Russians now want a break from war, they are not going to apologize for the aggression and do not believe it stems from Vladimir Putin's actions. They have come to see Donald Trump as the only Western leader who understands and respects Russia and have embraced a kind of alternative West led by Trump and the European far right.

    In the complex ecosystem of urban environments, the twin imperatives of safety and resilience represent some of the most fundamental challenges facing modern cities. As urban populations grow and densify, the vulnerability of metropolitan regions to both human-made threats and natural disasters intensifies, creating unprecedented challenges for governance, planning, and community response. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Crime and Safety, Urban Disaster Management, and City Resilience—examining how cities develop systems, strategies, and social infrastructures to protect their inhabitants from harm while building capacity to withstand, recover from, and adapt to catastrophic events. 
    The narrative of urban safety and disaster response transcends technical systems; it encompasses the intricate relationships between built environments, social dynamics, institutional preparedness, and community cohesion that collectively determine how effectively cities can protect their populations. By examining the complex intersections of crime prevention through environmental design, comprehensive disaster risk reduction frameworks, and holistic approaches to urban resilience, this book illuminates how cities are evolving from passive settings where hazards occur to active agents of protection and adaptation. Readers will journey through diverse urban contexts—from crime prevention strategies in high-density neighborhoods to disaster management systems in seismically active regions and resilience-building initiatives in climate-vulnerable coastal cities—discovering how safety and security emerge not merely from technological solutions, but from integrated approaches that strengthen social connections, institutional capabilities, and physical infrastructure simultaneously.
