Sinopsis

In a world often defined by spoken words, there exists a hidden realm of communication, a symphony of gestures and expressions that weave a tapestry of meaning and understanding. 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.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of deaf culture, a culture rich in language, art, and tradition. Gain insights into the identity, values, and aspirations of deaf individuals, and witness the power of community, the bonds that unite them and inspire them to advocate for their rights and strive for a world where they are fully included and valued.

Explore the world of sign language interpreting, a profession that bridges the communication gap between deaf and hearing individuals. Understand the ethical considerations and challenges faced by interpreters, and the importance of accuracy, neutrality, and professionalism in their work. Witness the impact of sign language interpreting on healthcare, education, employment, and other vital aspects of life, demonstrating its role in creating a more inclusive and accessible society.

Delve into the complex relationship between sign language and technology, examining how technological advancements are empowering deaf individuals and transforming the way they communicate, learn, and engage with the world. Witness the impact of assistive technology, video relay services, captioning, and subtitling in breaking down communication barriers and promoting accessibility. Envision a future where technology and sign language intersect seamlessly, creating a world where deaf individuals can fully participate and thrive.

    The Chavín civilization, one of the earliest and most influential cultures of ancient Peru, emerged in the Andean highlands around 900 BCE. It was a formative force in pre-Columbian history, laying the groundwork for later civilizations that dominated the region. The rise of Chavín was deeply connected to its strategic location, the innovations of its people, and the unique blend of religious and cultural influences that shaped its identity. 
    The Andean region, with its diverse geography of mountains, valleys, and coastal plains, played a crucial role in the development of early societies. The people who would come to form the Chavín civilization first settled in highland areas, where they mastered agricultural techniques suited to the challenging environment. The cultivation of staple crops such as maize, potatoes, and quinoa allowed for population growth and the establishment of permanent settlements. Llamas and alpacas provided transportation, wool, and meat, further supporting the stability of these early communities. Over time, these settlements evolved into more complex societies, characterized by social hierarchies and specialized labor. 
    One of the key factors that contributed to the emergence of the Chavín civilization was its strategic position at the crossroads of major trade routes. Chavín de Huántar, the civilization’s most important ceremonial center, was located in a valley that connected the coast, highlands, and jungle regions. This prime location allowed Chavín culture to serve as a unifying force in the Andes, facilitating the exchange of goods, ideas, and religious beliefs among different groups. As traders and pilgrims traveled to Chavín de Huántar, they encountered a sophisticated society with an advanced knowledge of art, architecture, and religion, all of which helped spread Chavín influence throughout the region.

    Your Heart Is the Size of Your Fist draws readers into the complicated, poignant, and often-overlooked daily happenings of a busy urban medical clinic for refugees.
    		 
    An Iraqi journalist whose son has been been murdered develops post-traumatic stress disorder and mourns his loss of vocation. A Congolese woman refuses antiretroviral treatment for her new HIV diagnosis, and instead places her trust in Jesus. Two conservative Muslim Iraqi women are inadvertently exposed to pornography when a doctor uses Google Images to supplement a medical discussion. By turns humorous, distressing, and moving, these stories offer insight into the people seeking a new life while navigating poverty, language barriers, and neighbours who aren’t always friendly.
    		 
    This riveting collection of true stories from Dr. Martina Scholtens is filled with hope and humour, and together make up a deeply moving portrait of how one doctor attempts to provide quality care and advocacy for patients while remaining culturally sensitive, even as she wrestles with guilt, awareness of her own privilege, the faith she was raised with, and vicarious trauma after hearing countless stories of brutality and suffering.
    		 
    In the spirit of Louise Aronson and Atul Gawande, Scholtens’ writing is based on her personal experiences and explores the transformative moments in which a clinical doctor-patient relationship becomes a profound human-human connection.

    Black men must understand that religion or their faith is instrumental in their lives, and it affects their decisions and encourages them in times of trouble. Although black men have made economic and educational improvements in the past, there are still problems that make black men today more depressed, stressed, and sad about their current conditions. The stereotypes that all black men are irresponsible, make babies, leave their families behind, and create impediments to success, love, and economic stability, are wrong. Black men have feelings, from the obdurate gang banger to the father who works two jobs to support his family, while the pressure of the world sits on their dreams like an anchor pulling them toward defeat. 
      However, black men are trying to change their lives, and what they do not need, is outside influences obstructing their desire to positively change. Yes, many black men are angry, and many black men are tired of negative and racist misinformation concerning them and their communities. This is the most beloved book on real black men's issues TRYING and DOING positive things to atone and avert from their past mistakes.

  • How I Found the Lost Atlantis! by Dr Paul Schliemann - narrated by Michael Henrik Wynn - cover

    How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

    The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
    The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
    The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
    Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
    Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
