Destined to Ride the Healing Winds of Heaven

A Spiritual Journey

By: Annie MorningStar

In the memoir, Destined to Ride the Healing Winds of Heaven, a grown woman from South Eastern Montana experiences miraculous encounters with the God of the universe. She is taken back in time to find her child within, trapped in a frozen time warp of a chaotic and painful past, filled with losses common to Native American children of that era. Annie MorningStar emerges from these supernatural encounters with a new identity, the dignity of her Native American heritage restored, a passion to see the brokenhearted healed, and those held captive by ghosts of the past set free by the same healing winds that touched her life. As you journey with her, just maybe, you will catch your own healing current and come out changed as well.

Computer-Assisted Instruction at Stanford, 1966-68

Data, Models, and Evaluation of the Arithmetic Programs

By: Patrick Suppes,Mona Morningstar

Computer-Assisted Instruction at Stanford, 1966–68: Data, Models, and Evaluation of the Arithmetic Programs provides an analysis and assessment of the arithmetic programs in computer-assisted instruction at Stanford for the years 1966–68. This book focuses on behavioral data, the application of models to these data, and an assessment of the effectiveness of the programs. Organized into two parts encompassing nine chapters, this book begins with an overview of the drill-and-practice program that was run in a large number of elementary schools in California, Mississippi, and Kentucky. This text then explains the application of models to individual student behavior. Other chapters consider the analysis of student performance in computer-assisted instructions. This book discusses as well the application of automation models to some area of the same data of the drill-and-practice program. The final chapter deals with individual student analyses. This book is a valuable resource for psychologists, sociologists, and research workers.

The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg

By: Cory Morningstar

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg

By: Cory Morningstar

The manufacturing of Greta Thunberg - for consent: the political economy of the non-profit industrial complex We are introduced to the not-so accidental phenomena of Greta Thunberg, the current child prodigy and face of the youth climate change movement. The "climate change is real" message is reframed for public consumption and rolled out at an international level, using Greta and her global platform to "sound the alarm" on climate change. This climate emergency is likened to a "house on fire", while urging the public to be serious, patriotic, empathetic and, of course, nonviolent. Not one sentence of the new strategy mentions the horrific impact militarism has on climate change. The New Climate Economy being pushed by groups like Extinction Rebellion merely repackage our oppression into emergency mode. This urgency becomes global so that governments, NGOs and corporations will all direct immediate funding towards unlocking trillions of capital needed to save capitalism by further funding the new green imperialism. Today's youth are used and molded into market solutions to insulate a global elite. Celebrity-sponsored activism seeks to build a new industry in which NGOs, the media and corporate powers collude to get people to support the very industries we should be erasing from the planet. The planet's most powerful capitalists lie behind these "youth-led" movements for climate change, helping to manufacture consent for the "fourth industrial revolution" in an attempt to quell resistance to industrial civilisation.

The Visual Language of Wabanaki Art

The Visual Language of Wabanaki Art

By: Jeanne Morningstar Kent

For centuries, the people of the Wabanaki Nations of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada used signs, symbols and designs to communicate with one another. As Native Peoples became victims of European expansion, the Wabanaki were separated by war, the search for work and intermarriage, as well as by hiding their identities to avoid persecution. In this diaspora, their visual language helped them keep their teachings and culture alive. Their designs have evolved over time and taken on different meanings, and they are now used on objects that are considered art. While their beauty is undeniable, these pieces cannot be fully appreciated without understanding their context. Tribal member Jeanne Morningstar Kent sheds light on this language, from the work of ancient Wabanaki to today's artists--like David Moses Bridges, Donna Sanipass and Jennifer Neptune--once again using their medium to connect with their fellow Wabanaki.
