Sinopse

Water Rights explores the complex history of water disputes across the Americas, highlighting the tension between human needs, economic development, and ecological preservation. These disputes often pit different users against each other in a zero-sum game, revealing inequalities and vulnerabilities. The book examines how these conflicts disproportionately affect marginalized communities, raising critical issues of environmental justice. Understanding these disputes requires grasping hydrological cycles, legal principles, and the impacts of climate change, all of which exacerbate water scarcity.

 
The book unfolds in three parts: an introduction to key terms and water law, case studies of water disputes from regions like the Colorado River Basin and the Atacama Desert, and a synthesis of lessons learned with policy recommendations.

 
By integrating historical analysis, legal scholarship, and environmental justice principles, Water Rights provides a nuanced perspective, demonstrating how legal frameworks are shaped by political interests and environmental impacts vary across social groups. It avoids simplistic solutions, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of water allocation and its importance for sustainability.

    A testament to the way of solitude and simplicity, the 21 precepts of the Dokkōdō, also known as The Way of Walking Alone, is one of Musashi's principal legacies. Inspired by his life of combat and the bushido code, Miyamoto Musashi wrote the Dokkōdō in Japan in 1645, to pass on his wisdom and philosophy of life before he died. In the short text, the master duelist shares 21 precepts for healthy living. They are influenced by principles akin to Stoicism. Even today, these universal lessons can be useful for leading an honest and happy life. 
    Among the main themes he addresses in the Dokkōdō, Miyamoto Musashi stresses the importance of simplicity, discipline and detachment. He suggests forgetting material desires and distractions and concentrating on the essential. He advocates not only material simplicity, but also mental, spiritual simplicity; purity of thought. In his vision, mental clarity enables deeper self-mastery.

    From the bestselling author of 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act comes a powerful new book on dismantling the Indian Act and advancing Indigenous self-governance.Bob Joseph’s 21 Things™ You May Not Know About the Indian Act captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of Canadians by shining a light on the Indian Act and the problems associated with it. In that book, readers learned that the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876 has controlled the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Canada for generations, and despite its objective to assimilate Indians into the economic and political mainstream, it has had the opposite effect: segregation. They live under different laws and on different lands.People came away from that book with questions such as "Can we get rid of the Indian Act?" and "What would that look like? Would self-government work?" These are timely questions, given that 2026 will mark 150 years since the Consolidated Indian Act of 1876. The short answer to these questions is, yes, we can dismantle the Act, and there are current examples of self-government arrangements that are working.With his trademark wisdom, humility, and deep understanding, Bob Joseph shows us the path forward in 21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act, in which Indigenous self-governance is already happening and not to be feared—and negotiating more such arrangements, sooner rather than later, is an absolute necessity.21 Things™ You Need to Know About Indigenous Self-Government: A Conversation About Dismantling the Indian Act is a call to action.

    When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization. 
    Ancient Egypt was a North African society that grew in the lower banks of the Nile River, in what's now the nation of Egypt. Following ancient Egypt, old Egyptian civilization culminated circa 3100 BC (according to basic Egyptian chronology) with Menes' political marriage of Upper and Lower Egypt (usually related to Narmer). The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age formed a series of steady kingdoms split up by periods of relative instability called Intermediate Durations. 
    Let’s explore some of the most important features of that society today, and try to grasp what transpired in the culture, the thoughts, the problems, and the development of the Egyptian region more than 5,000 years ago.
