Within this realm, the language of sign language flourishes, connecting a vibrant and diverse community of deaf individuals.

This book is an immersive journey into the world of sign language and the deaf community, unveiling the intricacies of this unique form of communication and the rich culture that surrounds it. We delve into the grammar and syntax that govern sign language, exploring the nuances of non-manual markers, facial expressions, and body language that add layers of meaning to spoken words. We trace the historical roots of sign language, uncovering its origins and the captivating stories of those who have shaped its evolution.

Venturing into the world of deaf education, we witness the challenges and triumphs of providing equal access to education for deaf students. We celebrate the transformative power of early intervention and language acquisition, and the importance of creating inclusive learning environments that embrace diversity and foster a sense of belonging. We applaud the resilience and determination of deaf individuals who have overcome obstacles to achieve academic success and pursue their dreams.

Maya Civilization - Pyramids...

Rolf Hedger

The Maya civilization emerged from the fertile lands of Mesoamerica, where early agricultural societies gradually developed into one of the most advanced cultures of the ancient world. Long before the rise of monumental cities and towering pyramids, the ancestors of the Maya lived in small villages, relying on farming, hunting, and fishing for sustenance. Corn, or maize, became the cornerstone of their diet and played a central role in their mythology, economy, and daily life. Over time, these early settlements expanded, evolving into complex societies with trade networks, religious practices, and political hierarchies.
The roots of Maya civilization can be traced back to the Preclassic period, around 2000 BCE. During this time, small communities scattered across present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador began cultivating staple crops such as maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers. As agricultural techniques improved, populations grew, leading to the formation of larger settlements. Villages transitioned into regional centers, where early forms of leadership and governance emerged. These developments set the stage for the sophisticated city-states that would later define the Maya world.
The Maya were not isolated in their cultural development. They shared Mesoamerica with other influential civilizations, most notably the Olmecs, who thrived along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. The Olmecs, often considered the “mother culture” of Mesoamerica, left a lasting impact on the Maya through their artistic styles, religious beliefs, and ceremonial architecture. The colossal stone heads of the Olmecs, their early writing systems, and their concept of a sacred ballgame were all absorbed and adapted by the Maya. This exchange of ideas helped shape the foundations of Maya civilization, leading to the rise of the first great Maya cities.

Soucy Jean-Yves

It is 1963, Jean-Yves Soucy is 18 and looking for a summer job. He dreams of being a fire warden scanning the boreal forest from a fire tower. But to his dismay he is sent to an equipment depot somewhere between Val-d’Or and Chibougamau in Northern Quebec. His disappointment vanishes when he learns that the depot is located near a Cree community and that he will have two Cree guides, including a man named William Saganash, and his work will involve canoeing through the lakes and rivers of the region. 
On each encounter with the Crees, on each of the long trips across water or through the bush, Jean-Yves expects to see a new world but realizes he’s meeting a different civilization, as different from his own as Chinese civilization. Yet he knows nothing about it. Nor does he understand the nature surrounding them as do his Cree guides, and friends. 
Jean-Yves Soucy wrote this story because Romeo Saganash, son of William, insisted: “You have to write that, Jean-Yves. About your relationship with my father and the others, how you saw the village. You got to see the end of an era.” 
He unfortunately passed away before completing it. However, in his poignant Afterword, Romeo Saganash provides a finishing touch to this story of an unlikely meeting of two worlds.
