Summary

In a world shaped by the echoes of the past, heritage stands as a powerful force, capable of both uniting and dividing communities. This captivating book delves into the multifaceted nature of heritage, exploring its origins, evolution, and profound impact on our lives.

Through a journey across diverse landscapes and cultures, we encounter individuals and communities who are actively engaged in preserving, reclaiming, and reimagining their heritage. We witness the ways in which heritage is constructed, contested, and consumed, and examine its complex relationship with power, identity, and conflict.

We explore the concept of heritage itself, delving into its origins and evolution. We examine the role of heritage in shaping individual and collective identities, and the ways in which it is used to construct narratives of belonging and difference. We also investigate the complex relationship between heritage and power, and the ways in which dominant groups often seek to impose their own narratives on marginalized communities.

From there, we turn our attention to the ways in which heritage is contested and negotiated. We explore the phenomenon of heritage wars, in which different groups vie for control over the interpretation and ownership of cultural heritage. We also examine the role of heritage in conflicts over land, resources, and political power.

Next, we explore the ways in which heritage is consumed and commodified. We examine the rise of heritage tourism and the challenges it poses to the preservation and authenticity of cultural heritage. We also investigate the role of media and popular culture in shaping public perceptions of heritage, and the ways in which heritage is used to sell products and promote political agendas.

Finally, we look to the future of heritage. We consider the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization, climate change, and new technologies. We also explore the potential of heritage to promote peace, reconciliation, and sustainable development.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex and fascinating world of heritage. It offers a comprehensive overview of the field, drawing on a wide range of disciplines, including history, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. With its engaging writing style and insightful analysis, this book will appeal to both scholars and general readers alike.

    When we feel pain in our body, it is usually a sign that something is wrong. When we experience injury, illness, or disease, we treat the symptoms with medication, physical therapy or alternative medicine. But sometimes treating the symptoms isn’t enough. Our bodies are often telling us that there is a disruption in our energy flow that is keeping us from getting well.

    Murder may seem easy, and getting away with it even easier, particularly in Indian Country. Big Horn County, MT, where Ms. Bley grew up, bears the unfortunate distinction of having the highest rate of missing and murdered women and girls. Selena Not Afraid fell victim to this hidden epidemic on New Year's Day 2020, disappearing without a trace under mysterious circumstances. Her body was discovered 20 days later in an open field, previously intensively searched. The county sheriff hastily labeled her death as "accidental hypothermia" before she could undergo a thorough examination by a coroner, a cause of death that appears all too common in Crow Indian country. 
The lack of answers surrounding Selena's disappearance and the questionable cause of her death sparked outrage in the community. 'Stolen Voices: Missing and Murdered in Big Horn County' compellingly recounts the stories of several young Native American Indians who have gone missing or been brutally murdered in Big Horn County. This book not only raises awareness but also sheds light on first-hand perspectives from the family members of Crow and Cheyenne tribal members who were killed. Additionally, it highlights the efforts of those working to make a difference in Indian Country, aiming to reduce instances of violence against Native women. 'Stolen Voices' is a Multi- Award Winning book that delves into the deeper issues at the heart of this hidden epidemic, whose awareness is gaining momentum.

    How hedge funds make money by taking it from the rest of us—and how you can join them! 
 
 
 
Top hedge fund managers make more than Oprah, Rupert Murdoch, and A-Rod combined—but they aren't running news and entertainment empires or playing baseball for the New York Yankees. Aren't you curious about how these hedge fund dudes make so much doing who knows what? You may even wonder if you can get there, too. After all, this is America! 
 
 
 
This book gives you the answers in a twelve-step guide to accumulating vast riches the way hedge fund managers do—by playing trillion-dollar poker with a marked deck. Through each easy step, you'll learn the sleight of hand and disregard for basic morality you'll need to move from making tens of dollars an hour to millions an hour! Along the way, you'll also question whether these hedge fund moguls make markets work better—as they and their apologists insist—or cause instability, siphon off capital, and destroy value without adding so much as a single widget to the economy.

    Today, twenty-five years since Diana's death, seems the right moment for a reassessment of this remarkable woman. Did the Royal Family learn lessons from her life, about protection and privacy, about how to incorporate outsiders into their ranks, about how to manage scandal? Did it take any lessons from her death—and the public's reaction not only to that but also to the behavior of, in particular, the Queen and Prince Charles, in the aftermath? Or have the family and the Palace—the men in grey suits, as Diana called them—continued on the same track, unchanged, repeating many of the mistakes made with her, from her first nervous ventures in royal circles to her later defiance of traditional protocols? These and many other questions are explored in this authoritative book, written by two people closely associated with Diana: Inspector Ken Wharfe was the Princess's police protection officer for six years during the most turbulent period of her marriage to Prince Charles, and Ros Coward was chosen as author of the official book by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Trust. This book is both an examination of the people and events of the time and an elegiac tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the late twentieth century.
