Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World By James H. Sweet 2011 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 1469609754 | PDF | 6 MB Between 1730 and 1750, Domingos Alvares traversed the colonial Atlantic world like few Africans of his time--from Africa to South America to Europe. By tracing the steps of this powerful African healer and vodun priest, James Sweet finds dramatic means for unfolding a history of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world in which healing, religion, kinship, and political subversion were intimately connected.Alvares treated many people across the Atlantic, yet healing was rarely a simple matter of remedying illness and disease. Through the language of health and healing, Alvares also addressed the profound alienation of warfare, capitalism, and the African slave trade. As a result, he and other African healers frequently ran afoul of imperial power brokers. Nevertheless, even the powerful suffered isolation in the Atlantic world and often turned to African healers for answers. In this way, healers simultaneously became fierce critics of Atlantic imperialism and expert translators of it, adapting their therapeutic strategies in order to secure social relevance and even power. By tracing Alvares' frequent uprooting and border crossing, Sweet illuminates how African healing practices evolved in the diaspora, contesting the social and political hierarchies of imperialism while also making profound impacts on the intellectual discourse of the "modern" Atlantic world.  Documenting the World: Film, Photography, and the Scientific Record edited by Gregg Mitman, Kelley Wilder English | December 20, 2016 | ISBN: 022612911X | True EPUB | 288 pages | 15.6 MB Imagine the twentieth century without photography and film. Its history would be absent of images that define historical moments and generations: the death camps of Auschwitz, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Apollo lunar landing. It would be a history, in other words, of just artists' renderings and the spoken and written word. To inhabitants of the twenty-first century, deeply immersed in visual culture, such a history seems insubstantial, imprecise, and even, perhaps, unscientific.  H. Benetti, "Do It Yourself Simple Air Conditioner Repair and Fixes" English | 2014 | ASIN: B00JS5AK62 | EPUB | pages: 43 | 0.8 mb The cost of a HVAC service technician is always a concern and while many things that go wrong with a HVAC does require a technician, many fixes do not.

Sheila Murnaghan, "Disguise and Recognition in the Odyssey" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0739129538 | EPUB | pages: 150 | 1.4 mb Disguise and Recognition in the Odyssey reveals the significance of the Odyssey's Description, in particular the many scenes of recognition that make up the hero's homecoming and dramatize the cardinal values of Homeric society, an aristocratic culture organized around recognition in the broader senses of honor, privilege, status, and fame. Odysseus' identity is seen to be rooted in his family relations, geographical origins, control of property, participation in the social institutions of hospitality and marriage, past actions, and ongoing reputation. At the same time, Odysseus' dependence on the acknowledgement of others ensures attention to multiple viewpoints, which makes the Odyssey more than a simple celebration of one man's preeminence and accounts in part for the poem's vigorous afterlife. The theme of disguise, which relies on plausible lies, highlights the nature of belief and the power of falsehood and creates the mixture of realism and fantasy that gives the Odyssey its distinctive texture. The book contains a pioneering analysis of the role of Penelope and the questions of female agency and human limitation raised by the critical debate about when exactly she recognizes that Odysseus has come home.  Miguel Angel Centeno, "Discrimination in an Unequal World" English | ISBN: 0199732167 | 2010 | 320 pages | PDF | 1344 KB Is globalization making our world more equal, or less? Proponents of globalization argue that it is helping and that in a competitive world, no one can afford to discriminate except on the basis of skills. Opponents counter that globalization does nothing but provide a meritocratic patina on a consistently unequal distribution of opportunity. Yet, despite the often deafening volume of the debate, there is surprisingly little empirical work available on the extent to which the process of globalization over the past quarter century has had any effect on discrimination. Tackling this challenge,  Niccolo Machiavelli, "Discourses" English | 1984 | ISBN: 0140444289, 9568356398 | 544 pages | EPUB | 4.3 MB "It is not the well-being of individuals that makes cities great, but the well-being of the community"  Disability and Accessibility in the Music Classroom A Teacher's Guide English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781003222224 | 145 pages | True PDF | 2.57 MB Disability and Accessibility in the Music Classroom provides college music history instructors with a concise guide on how to create an accessible and inclusive classroom environment.
