Today was supposed to be an ordinary day in not one but two towns: Fishers, Indiana and Noblesville, Indiana. But when Rosemary took Clown to school, she found out that this was no ordinary day, not today, and never again. It all began at the Fishers Freedom Festival. That''s where we met the clown. This clown was a female. She looked like clowns look. She had fiery red hair and a red nose. She dressed like clowns dress, in a colorful suit and wore big red shoes. She flashed a big smile and had a twinkle in one eye. But this clown did not do tricks. She did not ride a unicycle. Instead, she drove a tiny, and funny looking red car. This clown did not tell us her name, and no one asked. This clown sat us all down and spent hours just telling us how beautiful, how important, and how special we all are. She told us to always have dreams and to do our best at everything we do. She told us that if we ever doubted ourselves, to think about all the wonderful things she had told us.
This book, the first to be written about the Lake Babine Nation in north-central British Columbia, examines its traditional legal order, self-identity, and their involvement in current treaty negotiations.
Winner of the 2013 Washington State Book Award in Poetry. This book examines the Lake Babine Nation in north central British Columbia, considering its traditional legal order and the way that order determines the people’s identity and the nature of their involvement in current treaty negotiations. Changing relations between the Natives and the Canadian state have resulted in a new awareness of customary legal orders. While such orders are often seen as a process by which the state can accommodate diverse approaches to judicial fairness and social justice, they also offer the means by which aboriginal nations can maintain their identity by sustaining a moral order in a viable, self-defined, and self-governed community. For the Lake Babine Nation, this moral order is defined by and lived through the feasting complex known as the bahlats, or potlatch system.

In this major re-evaluation of Isaac Newton's intellectual life, Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs shows how his pioneering work in mathematics, physics, and cosmology was intertwined with his study of alchemy. Directing attention to the religious ambience of the alchemical enterprise of early modern Europe, Dobbs argues that Newton understood alchemy - and the divine activity in micromatter to which it spoke - to be a much needed corrective to the overly mechanized system of Descartes. The same religious basis underlay the rest of his work. To Newton it seemed possible to obtain partial truths from many different approaches to knowledge, be it textual work aimed at the interpretation of prophecy, the study of ancient theology and philosophy, creative mathematics, or experiments with prisms, pendulums, vegetating minerals, light, or electricity. Newton's work was a constant attempt to bring these partial truths together, with the larger goal of restoring true natural philosophy and true religion.

Although African Americans make up a small portion of the population of western North Carolina, they have contributed much to the area's physical and cultural landscape. This enlightening study surveys the region's segregated black schools from Reconstruction through integration and reveals the struggles, achievements, and ultimate victory of a unified community intent on achieving an adequate education for its children. The book documents the events that initially brought blacks into Appalachia, early efforts to educate black children, the movement to acquire and improve schools, and the long process of desegregation. Personnel issues, curriculum, extracurricular activities, sports, consolidation, and construction also receive attention. Featuring commentary from former students, teachers and parents, this work weighs the value and achievement of rural segregated black schools as well as their significance for educators today.
This book is an analysis of the inventiveness of contemporary fiction and of ways in which it engages our understanding of time in relation to globalization and environmental damage. The book convincingly dispels the notion that so-called global novels in English preclude the possibility of historical analysis and social collectivity"--
