Portrait of an Island

The Architecture and Material Culture of Gorée, Sénégal, 1758–1837

By: Mark Hinchman

The once-famous trading center of Gorée, Sénégal, today lies in the busy harbor of the modern city of Dakar. From its beginnings as a modest outpost, Gorée became one of the intersections linking African trading routes to the European Atlantic trade. Then as now, people of many nationalities poured into the island: Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Tukulor, and Wolof. Trading parties brought with them gold, firewood, mirrors, books, and more. They built houses of various forms, using American lumber, French roof tiles, freshly cut straw, and pulverized seashells, and furnished them in a fashion as cosmopolitan as the city itself. A work of architectural history, Portrait of an Island explores the material culture and social relations of West Africa in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Multiple features of eighteenth-century Gorée—its demographic diversity; the prominence of women leaders; the phenomenon of identities in flux; and the importance of fashion and international trade—articulate its place in the construction of an early global modernity. An examination of the built and natural landscape, Portrait of an Island deciphers the material culture involved in the ever-changing relationships among male, female, rich, poor, free, and slave.

Falling Seven Times

By: Mark G. Wentling

FALLING SEVEN TIMES is about a young Ethiopian woman, Alya, struggling to be a migrant worker to support her family. Her story is one of tens of thousands of people going abroad in search of jobs that pay a livable wage so they can send money home. Her sacrifices and the many ups and downs she experiences communicate what migrant laborers suffer. Alya’s particular travels to the Gulf States and Middle Eastern countries illuminate the many desperate pitfalls of migratory labor. This book also highlights the foreign environments, including the different languages and cultures, Alya encounters and how they contrast with her customs. Alya’s case is of such interest that it keeps the reader engrossed in learning what happens next. The reader keeps asking if Alya will live or die. This book of fiction is based on a true story. It teaches some elements of culture and customs of the countries where Alya works as well as in her home country of Ethiopia. There are many twists and turns in this book that keep the reader guessing about what happens next. Each of the book’s thirty-six chapters (98,000 words) provides a description of Alya’s understanding of bondage in a foreign land and her eventual escape to the impoverished sanctuary of home.

Storm in the Desert

Britain's Intervention in Libya and the Arab Spring

By: Mark Muller Stuart

A “densely packed and invigorating account” of the diplomatic and political approaches prescribed during the Libyan revolution and the Benghazi attack (The Herald). In this remarkable book, Mark Muller tells the story of British intervention in Libya and the Arab Spring from a unique civil society standpoint: he was there in Benghazi two weeks after the UN No-Fly Zone Resolution was passed, meeting with Rebel leaders to discuss how Western civil society might help them stabilize the country and resolve difficult legacy issues such as victim claims over Lockerbie and the supply of IRA Semtex. In an age when Western governments have become risk averse and distrusted in the Middle East, Muller documents how non-state mediators, non-governmental organizations, journalists, artists and like-minded diplomats, such as assassinated US Ambassador Chris Stevens, explore ways to support democratic movements and promote human rights in one of the world’s most turbulent regions. Storm in the Desert describes a dramatic story of revolution and also the murky but sometimes inspiring role successive British governments have played in trying to contain conflict in the region. It gives a unique insight into the world of diplomacy and power politics and the way they impact upon ordinary human lives, suggesting that it is civil society not government that ultimately stabilizes countries and unearths the truth about conflict and the ill-treatment of civilians at the hand of state forces.

Christianity and Monasticism in Aswan and Nubia

By: Saint Mark Foundation,Saint Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society

Christianity and monasticism have flourished along the Nile Valley in the Aswan region of Upper Egypt and in what was once Nubia, from as early as the fourth century until the present day. The contributors to this volume, international specialists in Coptology from around the world, examine various aspects of Coptic civilization in Aswan and Nubia over the past centuries. The complexity of Christian identity in Nubia, as distinct from Egypt, is examined in the context of church ritual and architecture. Many of the studies explore Coptic material culture: inscriptions, art, architecture, and archaeology; and language and literature. The archaeological and artistic heritage of monastic sites in Edfu, Aswan, Makuria, and Kom Ombo are highlighted, attesting to their important legacies in the region.

Justice in Conflict

The Effects of the International Criminal Court's Interventions on Ending Wars and Building Peace

By: Mark Kersten

What happens when the international community simultaneously pursues peace and justice in response to ongoing conflicts? What are the effects of interventions by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the wars in which the institution intervenes? Is holding perpetrators of mass atrocities accountable a help or hindrance to conflict resolution? This book offers an in-depth examination of the effects of interventions by the ICC on peace, justice and conflict processes. The 'peace versus justice' debate, wherein it is argued that the ICC has either positive or negative effects on 'peace', has spawned in response to the Court's propensity to intervene in conflicts as they still rage. This book is a response to, and a critical engagement with, this debate. Building on theoretical and analytical insights from the fields of conflict and peace studies, conflict resolution, and negotiation theory, the book develops a novel analytical framework to study the Court's effects on peace, justice, and conflict processes. This framework is applied to two cases: Libya and northern Uganda. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the core of the book examines the empirical effects of the ICC on each case. The book also examines why the ICC has the effects that it does, delineating the relationship between the interests of states that refer situations to the Court and the ICC's institutional interests, arguing that the negotiation of these interests determines which side of a conflict the ICC targets and thus its effects on peace, justice, and conflict processes. While the effects of the ICC's interventions are ultimately and inevitably mixed, the book makes a unique contribution to the empirical record on ICC interventions and presents a novel and sophisticated means of studying, analyzing, and understanding the effects of the Court's interventions in Libya, northern Uganda - and beyond.

Conquest and Construction

Palace Architecture in Northern Cameroon

By: Mark DeLancey

In Conquest and Construction Mark Dike DeLancey investigates the palace architecture of northern Cameroon, a region that was conquered in the early nineteenth century by primarily semi-nomadic, pastoralist, Muslim, Fulɓe forces and incorporated as the largest emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate. Palace architecture is considered first and foremost as political in nature, and therefore as responding not only to the needs and expectations of the conquerors, but also to those of the largely sedentary, agricultural, non-Muslim conquered peoples who constituted the majority population. In the process of reconciling the cultures of these various constituents, new architectural forms and local identities were constructed.

English Language Learning in the Digital Age

Learner-Driven Strategies for Adolescents and Young Adults

By: Mark Dressman,Ju Seong Lee,Laurent Perrot

Provides a thorough overview of digital learning methods and their practical application in the modern language classroom English Language Learning in the Digital Age is a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical background and real-world application of IDLE (Informal Digital Learning of English). Designed for teachers and future teachers preparing to teach English as a second or other language, this highly practical guide focuses on incorporating digital technology into curricula to draw upon the extracurricular exposures to English that many students experience outside of the classroom. With some creativity and care, teachers can find ways to bring these experiences with English into the classroom, ultimately improving student learning outcomes. Offering a specific focus on examples and case studies drawn from language education in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, this text employs a three-part structure beginning with the theories behind autonomous learning and the importance of informal language learning for young adults. Part two demonstrates various methods for integrating games, social media, e-books, language software, mobile apps, and other digital resources into the classroom. The third section addresses the use of IDLE methods to bridge the gap between informal and formal uses of English, the advantages and disadvantages of IDLE in flipped classrooms and online teaching, and how IDLE strategies can enhance mandated curricula and better prepare students for national exams. The book concludes with a brief discussion of the future of language learning and the need to include digital technologies and learner-driven strategies in education policy. This unique text: Offers practical methods for bringing informal student learning into the classroom Presents a wide range of engaging digital learning activities that can complement traditional language courses and improve language acquisition Reviews mobile apps for the translation and practice of vocabulary, grammar, and other components of language learning Provides real-life examples of how teachers can develop lessons and curricula, such as watching and making vlogs and reading transcripts of podcasts and audiobooks Includes access to a companion website containing video interviews with English learners and teaching plans reflecting TESOL Technology Standards and CEFR Reference Level Descriptors for English English Language Learning in the Digital Age is an ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of language education and language acquisition, as well as teachers and teachers-in-training who are preparing to teach English in countries where English is not the primary language.

Computability of Julia Sets

By: Mark Braverman,Michael Yampolsky

Among all computer-generated mathematical images, Julia sets of rational maps occupy one of the most prominent positions. Their beauty and complexity can be fascinating. They also hold a deep mathematical content. Computational hardness of Julia sets is the main subject of this book. By definition, a computable set in the plane can be visualized on a computer screen with an arbitrarily high magnification. There are countless programs to draw Julia sets. Yet, as the authors have discovered, it is possible to constructively produce examples of quadratic polynomials, whose Julia sets are not computable. This result is striking - it says that while a dynamical system can be described numerically with an arbitrary precision, the picture of the dynamics cannot be visualized. The book summarizes the present knowledge (most of it from the authors' own work) about the computational properties of Julia sets in a self-contained way. It is accessible to experts and students with interest in theoretical computer science or dynamical systems.

Staging the French Revolution

Cultural Politics and the Paris Opera, 1789-1794

By: Mark Darlow

Over the last decade, the theatre and opera of the French Revolution have been the subject of intense scholarly reassessment, both in terms of the relationship between theatrical works and politics or ideology in this period and on the question of longer-scale structures of continuity or rupture in aesthetics. Staging the French Revolution: Cultural Politics and the Paris Opera, 1789-1794 moves these discussions boldly forward, focusing on the Paris Opéra (Académie Royale de Musique) in the cultural and political context of the early French Revolution. Both institutional history and cultural study, this is the first ever full-scale study of the Revolution and lyric theatre. The book concentrates on three aspects of how a royally-protected theatre negotiates the transition to national theatre: the external dimension, such as questions of ownership and governance and the institution's relationship with State institutions and popular assemblies; the internal management, finances, selection and preparation of works; and the cultural and aesthetic study of the works themselves and of their reception. In Staging the French Revolution, author Mark Darlow offers an unprecedented view of the material context of opera production, combining in-depth archival research with a study of the works themselves. He argues that a mixture of popular and State interventions created a repressive system in which cultural institutions retained agency, compelling individuals to follow and contribute to a shifting culture. Theatre thereby emerged as a locus for competing discourses on patriotism, society, the role of the arts in the Republic, and the articulation of the Revolution's relation with the 'Old Regime', and is thus an essential key to the understanding of public opinion and publicity at this crucial historical moment. Combining recent approaches to institutions, sociability, and authors' rights with cultural studies of opera, Staging the French Revolution takes a historically grounded and methodologically innovative cross-disciplinary approach to opera and persuasively re-evaluates the long-standing, but rather sterile, concept of propaganda.

Becoming Terran

By: Mark Roth-Whitworth

The tools of the ultra-wealthy turn... In the riveting landscape of 2077, the world is under the grip of ultra-powerful trillionaires, their wealth and influence transcending boundaries. Amidst this chaos, two unsuspecting sisters from Niger, working in a North African hotel, become pawns in the grandiose schemes of the notorious trillionaire, Tolliver. He not only snatches away their freedom but also their identities, rechristening them as Francoise and Amelie. In a macabre twist, they undergo surgical and genetic modifications, designed to serve Tolliver's intricate proxy wars against his trillionaire adversaries. Francoise's trajectory sees her morph from an unsuspecting spy to a pivotal figure within Tolliver's empire, managing crises and plots. Parallelly, Amelie's life takes a different turn. Guided by Tolliver's designs, she ventures into the realm of genetic engineering, her studies taking her from an elite boarding school to a renowned college near London. As fate would have it, her association with Tollipharm, Tolliver's pharmaceutical empire in London, leads her to a horrifying discovery: a lethal virus, responsible for countless deaths, originating from the dark recesses of the company. While Francoise awakens to the grim reality of her existence, becoming disillusioned with her role, the world outside is changing rapidly. The face-off between trillionaires and nations intensifies, culminating in the evolution of the Terran Confederation. With the stakes higher than ever, and the battle shifting to the stars, the sisters must navigate treacherous waters. Join them on this galactic adventure as they grapple with questions of morality, loyalty, and the sheer will to survive in Becoming Terran.

Following Osiris

Perspectives on the Osirian Afterlife from Four Millennia

By: Mark Smith

Osiris, god of the dead, was one of ancient Egypt's most important deities. The earliest secure evidence for belief in him dates back to the fifth dynasty (c.2494-2345BC), but he continued to be worshipped until the fifth century AD. Following Osiris is concerned with ancient Egyptian conceptions of the relationship between Osiris and the deceased, or what might be called the Osirian afterlife, asking what the nature of this relationship was and what the prerequisites were for enjoying its benefits. It does not seek to provide a continuous or comprehensive account of Egyptian ideas on this subject, but rather focuses on five distinct periods in their development, spread over four millennia. The periods in question are ones in which significant changes in Egyptian ideas about Osiris and the dead are known to have occurred or where it has been argued that they did, as Egyptian aspirations for the Osirian afterlife took time to coalesce and reach their fullest form of expression. An important aim of the book is to investigate when and why such changes happened, treating religious belief as a dynamic rather than a static phenomenon and tracing the key stages in the development of these aspirations, from their origin to their demise, while illustrating how they are reflected in the textual and archaeological records. In doing so, it opens up broader issues for exploration and draws meaningful cross-cultural comparisons to ask, for instance, how different societies regard death and the dead, why people convert from one religion to another, and why they abandon belief in a god or gods altogether.

The Legacy of President Xi Jinping of China A Study of Social Instability, Human Rights Violations, Civilian Suffering and Communism in the People's Republic of China

By: Dr. Mark O'Doherty

Dear All, The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) argues that their concept of "social stability" requires that the welfare of the collective should always be put ahead of the rights of any individual whenever conflicts between these arise. The fallacy and error of this policy is, that it's enforced by a few key figures in the CCP, who have not been democratically elected by the people. As evidenced by the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the People of China have demanded their right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association; which the CCP government is still suppressing with an iron fist to this very day; China increasingly becoming a totalitarian state. It should be noted, that the Supreme People's Court of China - 中华人民共和国最高人民法院 - is an utterly incompetent legal community, responsible for blatant human rights violations in all 22 provinces of China; and a disgrace to the International Community. With China's economy being in free-fall, the country has been decimated by enormous political- and economic setbacks, as well as horrifying human rights failures. Hence China's so-called superpower status has been revoked. Thus the general consensus has been reached, that China no longer qualifies as a superpower. To avoid a power vacuum in the world, a new country is going to take China's place as a superpower; namely the Republic of Austria - at least until China has agreed to evolve and improve itself. Hence the new superpower in the world will be the Republic of Austria. Although most Austrian politicians are rather incompetent, the Austrian Foreign Ministry is quite capable of handling any queries concerning Austria's new superpower status. The Chinese government is expected to fall in line with Austria's Human Rights Policy - which for the time being will be conducted by the NGO BTB-Global Peacebuilding. We encourage the Chinese Communist Party to give up their monopoly on power, and implement Universal Suffrage in China; so that other political parties can also be elected in national elections and participate in governing China. Love and Light / 平安与你同在 Mark - BTB-Global Peacebuilding / Президент Российской Федерации - POTUS - 中华人民共和国主席 - UNITED NATIONS PS: We would be quite willing to give our dear friend President Xi Jinping a Kowtow - 磕頭/磕头 - if he agrees to implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in China. However, if President Xi refuses to implement the UDHR in China, we will expect a Kowtow from him instead: )

Redhead (political theory, Oregon State U.) argues that Taylor's opposition to Quebecois separatists is equally rooted in a political theory of communitarian liberalism, his political activities within the New Democratic Party of Canada and Quebec, his understanding of his Catholic faith, and his experiences growing up in an Anglo-French household. Redhead argues that Taylor's philosophy ultimately fails to address questions of nationalist projects that "simplify identity" or questions of openness to different moral ontologies.

Professional Issues in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Sixth Edition

By: Melanie W. Hudson,Mark DeRuiter

This sixth edition of Professional Issues in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology is intended to be a primary text for students in speech-language pathology and audiology, as well as a resource for practitioners, providing a comprehensive introduction to contemporary issues that affect these professions and service delivery across settings. It aims to provide a better understanding that day-to-day clinical work, as well as personal professional growth and development are influenced by political, social, educational, health care, and economic concerns. By instilling a big-picture view of the profession, future clinicians will be more prepared to make informed decisions as they provide services, engage in advocacy efforts, and plan their careers as audiologists or speech-language pathologists. The book is divided into four major sections: Overview of the Professions, Employment Issues, Setting-Specific Issues, and Working Productively. The information presented in each section provides the reader with a better understanding and a new perspective on how professional issues have been affected by both internal and external influences in recent years including technological advances, demographic shifts, globalization, and economic factors. Chapter authors are recognized subject-matter experts, providing a blend of both foundational and cutting-edge information in areas such as evidence-based practice, ethics, job searching and employment issues, interprofessional practice, service delivery in health care and education, technology, cultural competence, supervision, and leadership. Students reading this book will appreciate how the professions have evolved over time while acquiring a sense of where they are right now as they prepare to enter the professional world. Each of the topics covered in the book will continue to play important roles in the future of speech-language pathology and audiology, providing early career professionals with the requisite knowledge to achieve success in any setting.

The Liberian Civil War

By: Mark Huband

Just before Christmas 1989, a small group of armed fighters crossed a narrow river marking the frontier with the Ivory Coast, and entered the West African state of Liberia. The civil war which followed plunged the African continent's oldest republic into a long and agonising nightmare, during which the country was torn apart and its people brutalised by terror, violence and bloodshed. Mark Huband, the West Africa correspondent of the Financial Times and subsequently Africa correspondent for The Guardian, lived through the war from the beginning, and his account of the conflict, which begins a few days after the incursion, is a moving and dramatic portrayal of the war as it unfolded.
