Sinossi

Plains Winds Dance challenges conventional understandings of Plains tribes by exploring their sophisticated agricultural practices and their importance to cultural identity. Far from being solely nomadic hunters, these indigenous communities skillfully cultivated crops, integrating farming into their spiritual beliefs and social structures. For example, specific crop cultivation techniques were often tied to seasonal rituals, demonstrating the deep connection between the environment and their way of life.

 
The book examines how historical forces, including intertribal relations and European contact, shaped these farming practices. Oral histories, archaeological evidence, and ethnobotanical studies are interwoven to present a nuanced historical narrative.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geographical and cultural context of the Plains tribes, then detailing their agricultural methods and the cultural significance of farming, and finally analyzing the impact of historical interactions.

 
The book's unique value lies in highlighting the agency and adaptability of the Plains Indians, offering a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of their history.

    Countless books are designed to help leaders to become better leaders. But most resources neglect the underlying emotional struggles of both emerging and established leaders, who are often isolated and suffering in silence. Leadership professor Nicholas Rowe and counselor Sheila Wise Rowe offer their expertise in helping leaders process painful and traumatic experiences. Trauma contributes to how we lead others in either empowering or dysfunctional ways. Understanding how these experiences formed us is the beginning of the path to healing. 
     
     
     
    Woven throughout each chapter are five themes—invitation, attachment, remembrance, healing, and reconnection. Healing Leadership Trauma lays out the emotional challenges of leadership and offers encouragement, prayer, and therapeutic tools to help leaders face their pain and begin to heal.

    Drowned. Buried by sand. Decimated by plague. Plunged off a cliff. This is the extraordinary tale of Britain's eerie and remarkable ghost towns and villages; shadowlands that once hummed with life. 
     
     
     
    Matthew Green, a British historian and broadcaster, tells the astonishing tales of the rise and demise of these places, animating the people who lived, worked, dreamed, and died there. Traveling across Britain to explore their haunting and often-beautiful remains, Green transports the listener to these lost towns and cities as they teeter on the brink of oblivion, vividly capturing the sounds of the sea clawing away row upon row of houses, the taste of medieval wine, or the sights of puffin hunting on the tallest cliffs in the country. We experience them in their prime, look on at their destruction, and revisit their lingering remains as they are mourned by evictees and reimagined by artists, writers, and mavericks. 
     
     
     
    A stunning and original excavation of Britain's untold history, Shadowlands gives us a truer sense of the progress and ravages of time, in a moment when many of our own settlements are threatened as never before.

    If there is one thing I believe I have held fast all these years, it is the one that holds no shame in all the intricacies of the human mind, body, and soul. What intrigues me the most is how two or more people can create rhythms, music, trust, and bodily pleasure. No matter what debauchery society might try to bestow on those who seek a little bit of freedom using a natural and exciting mechanism, I offer no judgment. This book is a series of stories to “get the juices flowing” and probably allow you to be more comfortable with yourself and maybe your partner(s). Outlined is an array of adventures, kinky twists, and quirks you will enjoy. I know I certainly enjoyed curating them for you. 
    This book is a no-holds-barred platform, and it is certainly not a euphemism for the soft, adulterated, hidden wantings of intimacy. 
    It is a dive into the art of satisfying primal needs with drooling, tears, a tinge of unrepentant guilt, and, dare I say, pleasurable heavings, screams, and possible drownings as the best possible side effects. 
    Between your wildest imaginations and a rather sultrily dexterous pen, shameless pleasure is the only goal. 
    With you in mind, 
    Ben Dover
