Beschreibung

"The Butterfly's Flight: A Family's Journey Through Cross-Cultural Adoption and Raising Teenagers" is an inspiring and thought-provoking memoir that offers a rare glimpse into the world of cross-cultural adoption and parenting. With candor and vulnerability, the authors recount their extraordinary odyssey of adopting three children from different parts of the world and raising them in a cross-cultural, transracial home.

This poignant narrative delves into the intricacies of cross-cultural parenting, highlighting the unique challenges and rewards of raising children who navigate two distinct cultural landscapes. The authors illuminate the delicate balance between preserving their children's cultural heritage while fostering their integration into American society. They explore the complexities of communication, the nuances of cultural identity, and the ever-present specter of prejudice and discrimination.

With eloquence and empathy, the authors also delve into the complexities of adolescence within a cross-cultural context. They candidly address the challenges of balancing independence and support, the struggles with peer pressure and cultural identity, and the heartache of witnessing their children grapple with the same issues that all teenagers face, amplified by the added layer of their unique backgrounds.

Through their deeply personal narrative, the authors offer invaluable insights into the world of cross-cultural adoption and parenting, providing a roadmap for other families embarking on this extraordinary journey. They underscore the importance of open communication, cultural sensitivity, and unwavering support in creating a nurturing environment for children who are growing up in two worlds.

"The Butterfly's Flight" is a compelling testament to the resilience and love that define families united by adoption. It is a story of growth, transformation, and the enduring power of human connection, reminding us that the bonds of family transcend borders, cultures, and circumstances.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in cross-cultural adoption, parenting, or the complexities of raising children in a diverse and interconnected world. It is a story that will resonate with readers long after they finish the last page.

Anatolia and the Bronze Age: The...

Editors Charles River

While the Bronze Age is recognized as one of history’s most important phases, it’s been hard for historians to precisely date. The idea of the Bronze Age comes from a three-age system developed in the 19th century through which archaeologists and historians believe cultures evolve. These three ages are the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, and the concept of the system stems from the simultaneous development of museums in Europe during that time. In the Royal Museum of Nordic Antiquities in Denmark, Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, the director of the museum, began classifying objects of stone, bronze, or iron to better categorize and exhibit them. Each archaeological artifact was thus sorted according to their materials and further organized by shape and style. Through such methodology, working alongside archaeological reports, he was able to show how certain objects changed over time. 
	During the Late Bronze Age, from about 1500-1200 BCE, the Near East was a time and place where great kingdoms and empires vied for land and influence, playing high stakes diplomatic games, trading, and occasionally going to war with each other in the process. The Egyptians, Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, and several smaller Canaanite kingdoms were all part of this system, which was one of the first true “global” systems in world history and also one of the most materially prosperous eras in antiquity. The major kingdoms are well-known to most people, but among them were powerful neighbors, many of whom have been mostly overlooked.  
The transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age during the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE arguably changed the structure and course of world history more fundamentally than any period before or since, and at the center of this period of turmoil was a group of people known today as the Sea Peoples, the English translation of the name given to them by the Egyptians.

Beyond States - Powers Peoples...

Anthony Pagden

Today, the majority of the peoples of the planet live in nation-states, based upon the idea, if never the reality, of a single people, a single culture, a single rule of law, and a single source of sovereign authority. But will they continue to do so in the future? 
 
 
 
None of the major challenges that confront humanity today—from climate change to disease, from terrorism to mass migration—can be handled effectively by single nation-states, no matter how powerful. The world is no longer made up only of states but also of an ever-increasing multitude of interstate networks and organizations which recognize no borders. We are beginning to be able to imagine the very real possibility of a new global civil society. But what political form should this take? 
 
 
 
By examining the history of the evolution of human society from the world's first empires to today's world of interstate networks, this book argues that there now exists the possibility of the emergence of a new political form, a global 'federation of federations', that will bring the species closer to the possibility of a more harmonious, equitable, and secure future.
