Women and Households in Indonesia

Cultural Notions and Social Practices

By: Juliette Koning,Marleen Nolten,Janet Rodenburg,Ratna Saptari

Critically examines the usefulness of the 'household; concept within the historically and culturally diverse context of Indonesia, exploring in detail the position of women within and beyond domestic arrangements. So far, classical household and kinship studies have not studied how women deal with two major forces which shape and define their world: local kinship traditions, and the universalising ideology of the Indonesian regime, which both provide prescriptions and prohibitions concerning family, marriage, and womanhood. Women are caught between these conflicting notions and practices. How they challenge or accommodate such forces is the main issue in this book.

Descartes's Dualism

By: Marleen ROZEMOND,Marleen Rozemond

Descartes, an acknowledged founder of modern philosophy, is identified particularly with mind-body dualism--the view that the mind is an incorporeal entity. But this view was not entirely original with Descartes, and in fact to a significant extent it was widely accepted by the Aristotelian scholastics who preceded him, although they entertained a different conception of the nature of mind, body, and the relationship between them. In her first book, Marleen Rozemond explicates Descartes's aim to provide a metaphysics that would accommodate mechanistic science and supplant scholasticism. Her approach includes discussion of central differences from and similarities to the scholastics and how these discriminations affected Descartes's defense of the incorporeity of the mind and the mechanistic conception of body. Confronting the question of how, in his view, mind and body are united, she examines his defense of this union on the basis of sensation. In the course of her argument, she focuses on a few of the scholastics to whom Descartes referred in his own writings: Thomas Aquinas, Francisco Suarez, Eustachius of St. Paul, and the Jesuits of Coimbra. This new systematic account of Descartes's dualism amply demonstrates why he still deserves serious study and respect for his extraordinary philosophical achievements.

Flapping Soul, Words in Verse

A Collection of Poems

By: Marleen Rita Duckhorn

Our souls are like sheets on a clothesline flapping in the cosmic breeze. We are pinned to them all our lives. They never fail us. They are gateways and our entrance into a divine cosmos, which includes a peaceful union to all of creation. Sometimes there may even be humor if the clothesline collapses due to a gust of wind or storm, but we always pick the line up, hang our hat and clothes out to dry, and start over. It is always thus. Now with Duckhorns latest book of poems, Flapping Soul, Words in Verse, you can enjoy a positive read through our relationship with our soul from a poets viewpoint plus related subjects all with her lighthearted style of writing.

Explorations of a Versemaster

By: Marleen Duckhorn

Currently, space flight is a reality restricted to just a few hand-chosen persons participating in government programs around the world. Thanks to companies like Virgin Galactic, space travel will become available to the public in the near future, provided one has enough money to pay for the trip. In the meantime, you are invited to join in these imaginary explorations. This verse master meets intelligent alien life in space amid lessons of mind0traveling wisdom, interjects a vortex of humor, and is content to exist in an unparalleled acceptance of true destiny within each phrase within her interstellar wit. She plots the excitement of bending space, shaking hands with aliens, and coexisting in a nebula of stars. She hopes these poems offer a unique perspective of insight, which allows the readers to tag along for the ride as though it were their own. After all, its no fun to travel alone!

Revised and updated guide for prospective teachers with increased detail about the realities of teaching in a changing demographic society, post-pandemic life, societal changes brought about by technology, and the current political moment in education. Real challenges. Real choices. And very real consequences. That’s what today’s classrooms are about. That’s why Marleen Pugach’s Because Teaching Matters, Third Edition depicts today’s classrooms as they truly are, while highlighting the enormous impact teachers have on students’ lives. The book is organized around five professional commitments— learning from multiple sources of knowledge, using the curriculum responsibly, practicing equity-minded teaching, meeting the needs of individual students in the context of the classroom and school community, and contributing actively to the profession. The third edition focuses on: The current landscape and challenges of supporting multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-ability classrooms across socio-economic levels, and the relationships among students, families, communities, and educators The latest academic approaches for teaching students who have disabilities, leveraging modern classroom technology, the role of legislation and funding, and updates on the current context of teaching and teacher preparation New post-pandemic societal and educational contexts Classroom and school reflections on practice, written by current teachers and teacher leaders in real classrooms and real schools, showing authentic best practices in action.

Twelve Plus One

A Collection of Poems

By: Marleen Rita Duckhorn

In this Duckhorn's thirteenth published book of poems, she obviously shirks the number thirteen in her title, calling it Twelve plus One. No harm there. She writes her selected poems in six parts where the topics range from alien space crafts, time, heaven and ascension, and much more. Using her trademark knack for phrases in each poem, she is an ever-evolving, free-verse, modern poet. She loves people and wants to share her poems with the world.

Praising Nature

A Collection of Poems

By: Marleen Rita Duckhorn

Mother Nature is always there to rely on. We can all evolve joining hands with Her. We have to choose if we are adding to, dividing or subtracting from, or multiplying Her into our lives. To do this we need to be aware, praise, accept and love. If someone divides or subtracts themself from Her intimate, ultimate nature; that is what makes them react to not go entirely with the flow of her innate wisdom. These poems were written to remind and encourage others to be grateful, thankful, and praiseful of Mother Nature's gifts of inspiration. I found fun in the writing of this collection of poems and gained deep introspection captured in my attempt to lend personality to Her wonders.

Consider Somaliland

State-Building with Traditional Leaders and Institutions

By: Marleen Renders

Can ‘traditional’ leaders and institutions help to build more legitimate, accountable and effective governments in polities or ‘states’ under (re)construction? This book investigates the case of “Somaliland”, the 20-year old non-recognized state which emerged from Somalia’s conflict and state collapse. A careful analysis of Somaliland’s political history, it outlines the complex and evolving institutional and power dynamics involving clan elders, militia leaders, guerrilla movements, as well as politicians and civil servants in its emerging state structures. While showing the great potential of endogenous processes, it clearly demonstrates the complexity and the politics of those processes and the necessity to think beyond one-size-fits-all state-building formulas.
