Within the context of U.S.-Indian law, federal acknowledgment establishes a trust relationship between an Indian tribe and the U.S. government. Some tribes, however, have not been federally acknowledged, or, in more common language, “recognized.” In Cash, Color, and Colonialism, Reneé Ann Cramer offers a comprehensive analysis of the federal acknowledgment process, placing it in historical, legal, and social context.
What did the apostle Paul mean when he portrayed the creation as subjected to frustration and enslaved to destruction? What forms of frustration and destruction might he have seen throughout the Roman Empire? And how would he describe creation's condition today? Creation's Slavery and Liberation addresses these questions by tracing the story of creation as it appears in Paul's own Scriptures (the Tanakh), Roman imperial propaganda, Paul's letter to Rome, and U.S. industrial agriculture. This story reveals God to be the Creator who makes right (justifies) and makes alive through Jesus Christ and the Spirit. Because God liberates, justifies, and vivifies the entire creation and since--according to Paul--creation's liberation is linked to humanity's glorification, Paul expects Christians to pursue justice and nourish life. Burroughs encapsulates key justice-oriented and life-supporting practices in seven eco-ethical principles. To make these principles come alive, she describes the ways in which Roman imperial and American industrial regimes have caused injustice and destruction and, instead, she proposes more regenerative approaches to growing, enjoying, and sharing our daily bread.

Because they list all the public holidays and pagan festivals of the age, calendars provide unique insights into the culture and everyday life of ancient Rome. The Codex-Calendar of 354 miraculously survived the Fall of Rome. Although it was subsequently lost, the copies made in the Renaissance remain invaluable documents of Roman society and religion in the years between Constantine's conversion and the fall of the Western Empire. In this richly illustrated book, Michele Renee Salzman establishes that the traditions of Roman art and literature were still very much alive in the mid-fourth century. Going beyond this analysis of precedents and genre, Salzman also studies the Calendar of 354 as a reflection of the world that produced and used it. Her work reveals the continuing importance of pagan festivals and cults in the Christian era and highlights the rise of a respectable aristocratic Christianity that combined pagan and Christian practices. Salzman stresses the key role of the Christian emperors and imperial institutions in supporting pagan rituals. Such policies of accomodation and assimilation resulted in a gradual and relatively peaceful transformation of Rome from a pagan to a Christian capital.

Sabine Dubois has left one nightmare for another… Quitting her stressful job with the head office and retreating to her family’s branch of the business was supposed to take away from her stress. Instead, on her first night back on the job, reaping souls and taking names, she’s faced with a client whose soul won’t tear from his body. Her ledger clearly says, reap Kyle Riley. But he’s not dead. He’s not alive, but he’s not dead. And now she’s got a body with a very talkative, very angry spirit in her SUV headed to the parish where her Voodoo priestess aunt lives. Her aunt takes one look at the body and Kyle’s grouchy, glowering spirit and pronounces him under a curse. One that it’s up to them to break. But as they hunt for the cure, she grows fond of the surly man-ghost who she realizes may or may not have been targeted by the very agency that sent her to collect his soul.

F. Scott Fitzgerald sets The Great Gatsby around WWI; he leaves the reader with a mystery of the true identity and education of his fictional character. This novel, The Great Jay Gatsby supplies the answers and sets the novel in WWII. The reader must decide whether Gatsby lived and when? Meet the Great Gatsby's beautiful wife in the pages of this story. A literary achievement for any writer is to create a fictional character so real that the reader believes they lived. In the case of James Bond, this fictional character was borrowed by so many writers that the encyclopedia lists James Bond as a living person. Renee Kennedy will make you believe Jay Gatsby is a living person in history. The story is set in an era when autos and planes among other invented technologies are new to society and adds more interest to the reader. The novel promotes good morals and encourages parents to love their children. God is love, and love softens any heart. The inspirational and motivational message for daily living is to cherish every gift of love from God. Why? Tragedy may strike at any time! A loved one can be lost in a moment. Many today may enjoy love but have forgotten who the source of love is. A hardened heart through force of habit may forget God. Gatsby forgets God when he loses his family and forgets his family when he fights in WWII. God gave Jay Gatsby victory over the sting of death; God is watching us all from a distance. This book captures how love between a man and woman should truly be embraced, and no matter what losses one may face, romance or love should be remembered, not forgotten. The love of The Great Jay Gatsby should not only be for his family but also for his God. Nothing may separate us from God's love.
The shadow grows; the claws are out. It is the twenty-fourth century, and humanity has successfully breached beyond their limited solar system to colonize much of the known galaxy. Mostly located within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, humanity has ventured into a prosperous and ever-expanding era of exploration and discovery, with several other new races joining one of powers in humanity's growing sphere of influence, either willingly or by force. However, mankind cannot escape the shadow of conflict that dared to follow them out beyond the stars. In the immediate aftermath of the Earthborn War between two galactic superpowers--the oppressive far-reaching-based Hagorian Alliance and the more egalitarian-minded and Earth-based Praetorian League--one young girl rises from the ashes of chaos to break the yoke of oppression that the tyrannical Alliance has leaned upon to enforce its rule over its section of the cosmos. While other nations exist, they are constantly and often caught in the crossfire between the Alliance and the League. The Alliance, based at the trailing ends of the Orion Arm, valued slavery, fear, and subjugation to control and rule its people. The League, while not ideal, was far more egalitarian if not apathetic. But for citizens of the Alliance, many had had enough. One girl was chosen by fate to be the leader of these dissidents whom the Alliance would classify as militant rebels outright, viewing them as little more than vermin that need to be extinguished. From being an owned slave to a warrior and rebel leader, to empress and conqueror, this is part of the legacy that Ava'kra hopes to forge, but in the brutal maelstrom of seemingly unending war, can she? When facing betrayal at every turn, fighting outnumbered and outmaneuvered, can a young girl forge a new galactic nation free of oppression and live to tell the tale?
In Transboundary Offshore Aquifers: A Search for a Governance Regime, Renee Martin-Nagle explains the geologic origins of offshore freshwater aquifers and proposes a governance regime for offshore aquifers that are shared by two or more nations. While the existence of freshwater offshore aquifers under continental shelves has been known for decades, none discovered thus far straddle an international border. In the event that an offshore aquifer shared by two or more nations is identified and targeted for development, selection of a governance regime for the aquifer will present a unique challenge, and several current legal systems could provide valuable guidance. While laws addressing transboundary land-based aquifers are still in a nascent stage, customary international law for surface water has evolved over centuries and could provide analogous rules for development of another freshwater resource. This monograph explores principles for sharing natural resources and proposes a governance regime for transboundary offshore aquifers.

BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging keeps it real. . .only better !!! In their quest to retain a youthful appearance and fight the aging process, appearance-conscious, vanity-oriented Baby Boomer's and Generation X-er's are turning more than ever before to plastic surgery, Botox® injections, dermabrasion, chemical and laser peels, and other cosmetic procedures, spending millions upon millions of dollars every year. However, each of those procedures carries with it an inherent risk of danger ~ possible complications from anesthesia and the risk of adverse and irreversible side effects ~ deformity, infection, scarring, pigmentation changes, nerve and muscle injury, etc. And they, and millions of others who cannot afford those expensive cosmetic procedures, are also spending billions of dollars every year on expensive anti-aging lotions, potions and creams, each of which claims to be THE definitive cure. BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging offers the readers a natural, safe, painless, inexpensive alternative to the knife and needle. In BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging, Karen Gomez takes the readers on an entertaining journey through a 24-hour day, filled with fascinating factoids and personal anecdotal side-trips. This book is a collection of the best "anti-aging secrets" from her 30-year life experiment with "New Age," as well as ancient, natural anti-aging methods and techniques ~ for both prevention and rejuvenation. Beauty comes from within, starting with how you feel about yourself. After a short lesson on how to make that small, but critical, attitude adjustment, BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging offers the reader a diverse array of simple, unconventional anti-aging techniques that take only a few minutes a day, are literally at your fingertips, and cost absolutely nothing! BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging combines elements of the ancient principles of Zen, yoga, color/light therapy, acupressure, reflexology, herbal therapy and naturopathy, with contemporary methods, practices and techniques such as visualization, imagery, "the power of positive thinking," autosuggestion, "self-speak" (what we say to ourselves), with proper breathing techniques, proper skin care, facial exercises, facial massage, and a healthy diet, including vitamins, minerals, supplements, and exercise that, when practiced on a regular basis, can be a renewal or rejuvenation program. Complimenting the anti-aging techniques to be used without, BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging also contains a diverse array of simple anti-aging techniques to be used within, to minimize free radical damage ~ which is now believed to be the primary cause of aging. By controlling stress and eliminating negativity, utilizing deep breathing exercises, eating properly combined foods at the proper time of the day, avoiding food additives, preservatives and hydrogenated fats, and using other techniques described throughout the book, free radical damage can be kept to a minimum, thereby preventing the structural damage from cellular injury and breakdown which is the cumulative result of free radical damage ~ the wrinkled skin, stiff joints and hardened arteries of old age. What makes BIOSynergenics: Guerrilla Anti-Aging so unique is its author. Go to any bookstore, and you will find two types of books on beauty and anti-aging ~ the book written by the M.D. or Ph.D. which is based solely upon his or her scientific research findings (who usually do not visually typify their findings), and the book "written" by the celebrity du jour, whose recognizable face (after spending how much on plastic surgery, expensive cosmetic procedures, and professional make-up artists???) and name are used to market and sell the book. Karen Gomez is not a researcher, scientist or celebrity, but just a regular, everyday pe
As a child, invaders butchered Maleta's parents and left her ravaged body for dead. Now, reborn as a finely-honed weapon for the Gray Goddess, Maleta has shed the burden of emotions for one goal-regain her homeland for her brother. Cianan ta Daneal's mission to the fractured land of Shamar is twofold: to overthrow a despotic queen, and to save a life. For months, he's been haunted by recurring visions of a beautiful swordswoman slaughtered by a skeleton army. He never expected to lay eyes on that woman and recognize her as his Lifemate-or that she'd turn and run like hell. Uniting Shamar's diverse peoples in revolt is easy compared to the delicate task of wooing a woman who flinches from his touch. Slowly, Maleta dares to hope that her country, what's left of her family, and her shattered heart are safe in Cianan's steady hands. But when the cold blade of fate strikes true, can she trust his love is strong enough to pull her back from the Abyss?

This true crime history examines the surprising connection between an infamous small-town murder and the bestselling novel it inspired. Born and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire, Grace Metalious shocked the nation in 1956 with Peyton Place, her sexually charged debut novel about murder in a small town. It spawned a series of novels, two Hollywood movies, and a long-running television series on ABC. It also made Metalious a pariah in her hometown, where she became tabloid fodder until her untimely death at the age of thirty-nine. Unknown to most readers, the fictional story was inspired by a real crime known as “The Sheep Pen Murder,” which took place in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, in the late 1940s. Now historian Renee Mallett skillfully weaves together the lives of Metalious and Barbara Roberts, the confessed killer behind The Sheep Pen Murder. In The “Peyton Place” Murder, Mallett explores what happens when true crime and literature meet.
Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.

From jambalaya to risotto, curry to nasi kandar, few foods are as ubiquitous in our meals as rice. A dietary staple and indispensable agricultural product from Asia to the Americas, the grain can be found in Michelin restaurants and family kitchens alike. In this engaging culinary history, Renee Marton explores the role rice has played in society and the food economy as it journeyed from its beginnings in Asia and West Africa to global prominence. Examining the early years of rice’s burgeoning popularity, Marton shows that trade of the grain was driven by profit from both high status export rice and the lower-quality versions that fed countless laborers. In addition to urbanization and the increase in marketing and advertising, she reveals that rice’s rise to supremacy also came through its consumption by slave, indentured servant, and immigrant communities. She also considers the significance rice has in cultural rituals, literature, music, painting, and poetry. She even shows how the specific rice one consumes can have great importance in distinguishing one’s identity within an ethnic group. Chock full of delicious recipes from across the globe, Rice is a fascinating look at how this culinary staple has defined us.

Chloe Mahoney's Native American heritage has always given her plenty of insight into the realms of mysticism and folklore ever since she was a little girl. And although her grandpa told her many wild and unbelievable tales claiming them to be true, she sometimes found his mystical, fanatical stories to be quite dubious. Nothing could ever prepare her for the most extraordinary encounter of her entire life while deer hunting one early fall morning. And along with this most unexpected, absolutely terrifying encounter, her entire life, along with her own personal perception of the world as she knows it, will be forever changed. Sometimes you may think that someone is completely out of their mind when they tell you something that's beyond belief, but is it really just nonsense, or are they telling you the actual truth and nothing less? Maybe you should give them the benefit of the doubt because you may get your own taste of their world if something so bizarre and unfathomable happens to you!
