Beschreibung

Ocean Tides Sing examines the profound impact of modernization on Polynesian fishing communities, focusing on how traditional maritime traditions intersect with tourism and technology. These island nations face challenges balancing cultural preservation with economic development, particularly as motorboats alter traditional fishing practices and tourism places strain on marine ecosystems. The book highlights how these communities are adapting to maintain their livelihoods and cultural identities amidst ecological concerns.

 
The book explores the evolution of Polynesian fishing, the socio-economic impact of tourism, and ecological consequences. It contrasts historical fishing techniques, deeply connected to the ocean, with the effects of motorized vessels and market-driven economies. By analyzing these intertwined issues through ethnographic research, interviews, and environmental data, Ocean Tides Sing proposes ways to integrate traditional knowledge, modern technology, and responsible tourism for sustainable development.

 
Structured in three parts, the book begins by establishing the historical and cultural context of Polynesian fishing. It then investigates the impact of motorboats and tourism through specific island case studies, analyzing economic data and social dynamics. Finally, it synthesizes these findings to suggest strategies for community empowerment, ecological stewardship, and cultural heritage preservation.

    Finding Stevie is a dark and poignant true story that highlights the dangers lurking online. 
    When Stevie’s social worker tells Cathy, an experienced foster carer, that Stevie, 14, is gender fluid she isn’t sure what that term means and looks it up. 
    Stevie, together with his younger brother and sister, have been brought up by their grandparents as their mother is in prison. But the grandparents can no longer cope with Stevie’s behaviour so they place him in care. 
    Stevie is exploring his gender identity, and like many young people he spends time online. Cathy warns him about the dangers of talking to strangers online and advises him how to stay safe. When his younger siblings tell their grandmother that they have a secret they can’t tell, Cathy is worried. However, nothing could have prepared her for the truth when Stevie finally breaks down and confesses what he’s done. 
    Cathy Glass, the bestselling author, continues to explore the complexities of adolescence and fostering in her latest Sunday Times bestselling book, Finding Stevie. The memoirs of Stevie's life, personal relationships, and his journey of self-discovery in terms of gender identity, are a testament to the author's ability to delve into the heart of family dynamics and stages of personal growth.

    When a state trooper appeared at Rachel Zimmerman’s door to report that her husband had jumped to his death off a nearby bridge, she fell to her knees, unable to fully absorb the news. How could the man she’d married, a devoted father and robotics professor at MIT, have committed such a violent act? How would she explain this to her young daughters? And could she have stopped him? 
     
    A longtime journalist, she probed obsessively, believing answers would help her survive. She interviewed doctors, suicide researchers, and a man who jumped off the same bridge and lived. 
     
    Us, After examines domestic devastation and resurgence, digging into the struggle between public and private selves, life’s shifting perspectives, the work of motherhood, and the secrets we keep. In this memoir, Zimmerman confronts the unimaginable and discovers the good in what remains.

    Shadows into Light - A...

    During the civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002, an estimated 20,000 children were forced to join the fighting. As villages were raided and youths rounded up, it was not uncommon for a child to be ordered to kill a friend, relative, or neighbor. The goal was to make it impossible for the captives to return home and be accepted back into their communities. 
     
     
     
    But when the conflict ended, many of the children did find their way home. Theresa Betancourt and her collaborators in Sierra Leone launched a study of more than 500 boys and girls who had been pulled into the war, tracking them for over two decades. The results were surprising: despite everything they had suffered, this was not a lost generation. In fact, the most dominant trend was one of healing and increasing acceptance. The lives of the former child soldiers were shaped not just by their personal ordeals but also by the responses of their families, peers, and communities. Shadows into Light describes heartbreak and despair but also remarkable triumphs. 
     
     
     
    Betancourt's study provides insight into the long-term psychological and developmental effects of family separation, war, and exposure to violence. The lessons go beyond Sierra Leone's tragedy, suggesting that we should think of children's risk and resilience more as products of the post-trauma environment than as individual traits.
