  A Brief Manifesto on South American Identity 
  Have you ever wondered why seas around the world have names... but South America doesn't? 
  Amid forgotten maps, hushed histories and ignored identities, a disturbing question echoes through the waters of the South Atlantic. This is not just an e-book — it is an invitation to reflect on culture, memory and belonging. 
  This e-book is not intended to generalize in an attacking way, but rather to shed light on what has been hidden over the centuries — and which, in a certain way, continues to be silenced. 
  A deep analysis of the role of the sea in the formation of South American identity and integration. History, culture and politics connected by water.

  Belonging Matters is meant to support the adoption community while creating a conversation with those not directly touched by adoption. The collection addresses the questions:
  —If you are part of the adoption universe, how do you find identity, family, and community
  
  —If someone you know is adopted, how do you understand and support them in their search for identity, family, and belonging
  
  —How do we improve the adoption experience to invoke social change that benefits the individual, the family unit, and the communities in which they live?
  
  This collection is about examining all that makes us unique, and it is about finding meaning and healing from the difficulties we encounter in life.

  The 50 years following the assassination of Severus Alexander on March 19, 235 CE has been generally regarded by academics as one of the lowest points in the history of the Roman Empire. This stands in stark contrast to the previous 150 years, which included the reigns of the Five Good Emperors and has been universally praised as one of the high points of the empire. Severus Alexander was the last of the Severan emperors, and the subsequent years of crisis (235-285 CE) were characterized by a series of short reigns, usually ending in the violent death of the reigning emperor. 
  At the same time, this period of time also saw the empire beset by threatening forces on all sides. The Romans faced a newly resurgent Persia in the east, as well as significant forces from German tribes on the Rhine and Goths along the Danube. The various conflicts would result in the unprecedented death of a sitting emperor in battle, which took place in 251 with Emperor Decius, and Emperor Valerian was captured in 260 CE.  
  Diocletian's reign would see reforms put into place to achieve the desired end of the Imperial Crisis, and several of the emperors before him may well have had the ability to manage the reform process, but the army’s power and willingness to use and abuse power ensured that few of them truly had a chance to really make their marks. It was the worst period in the history of the Roman Empire to that point, even as it forced the Romans to deal with belligerent foreign powers and problems created by the emergence of increasingly powerful and populous provinces. 
  The pressures created by population growth, both within the empire and outside of it, have been thoroughly researched, but more recently, issues created by climate change have also commanded attention.
