South Africa's recent higher education protests around fees and
decolonizing institutions have shone a spotlight on important
issues and inspired global discussion. The educational space was
the most affected by clashes between languages and ideas, the
prioritizing of English and Afrikaans over indigenous African
languages, and the prioritizing of Western medicine, literature,
arts, culture, and science over African ones. Ethical Research
Approaches to Indigenous Knowledge Education is a cutting-edge
scholarly resource that examines forthcoming methodologies and
strategies on educational reform and the updating of curricula to
accurately reflect cultural shifts. The book examines the bias and
problems that bias creates in educational systems around the world
that have been dominated by Western forms of knowledge and
scientific processes. Featuring a range of topics such as
andragogy, indigenous knowledge, and marginalized students, this
book is ideal for education professionals, practitioners,
curriculum designers, academicians, researchers, administrators,
and students.
Sea fortune has always been an issue of good faith and good
navigation. While in antiquity, fortuna gubernatrix was praised for
shielding the seaborne trade, in the Renaissance fortuna symbolized
the conquest of chance and danger. Under such auspices, while
relying on risk technologies modern seafaring has never lost its
adventurous dimension. Understanding their origin remains a
challenge for the history of science and the history of literature.
"Diabetes; Alternative Thoughts" takes a different approach to
diabetes management. The book tries to explain the disease, its
complications in simple language and gives evidences for effect of
lifestyle and exercises in diabetes management. The chapters gives
glimpses of Ayurvedic outlook for diabetes and some commonly used
herbs in diabetes with scientific evidences.The author is not
refuting the importance of conventional approaches in diabetes
management or consider this book as a self help guide to treat
diabetes.On the contrary tries to create an awareness among medical
practitioners and the public to have a serious consideration of
alternative methods which are equally powerful as prescription
pills. It would serve as a mini reference book for medical
practitioners and public.
Full color publication. The Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM)
assembles in a single source the current state-of-the-art in
coastal engineering to provide appropriate guidance for application
of techniques and methods to the solution of most coastal
engineering problems. The CEM provides a standard for the
formulation, design, and expected performance of a broad variety of
coastal projects. These projects are undertaken to provide or
improve navigation at commercial harbors, harbor works for
commercial fish handling and service facilities, and recreational
boating facilities. As an adjunct to navigation improvements, shore
protection projects are often required to mitigate the impacts of
navigation projects. Beach erosion control and hurricane or coastal
storm protection projects provide wave damage reduction and flood
protection to valuable coastal commercial, urban, and tourist
communities. Environmental restoration projects provide a rational
layout and proven approach to restoring the coastal and tidal
environs where such action may be justified, or required as
mitigation to a coastal project's impacts, or as mitigation for the
impact of some previous coastal activity, incident, or neglect. As
the much expanded replacement document for the Shore Protection
Manual (1984) and several other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) manuals, the CEM provides a much broader field of guidance.
Part II "Coastal Hydrodynamics" is organized to lead the reader
from the fundamental principles of linear and other wave theories,
including irregular waves and spectral analysis, to ocean wave
generation and through the process of transformation as the wave
approaches and reacts with the coastline. Analysis of water level
variations including astronomical tides and storm surges are
presented along with the hydrodynamics of coastal inlets and
harbors are included in other chapters.
Challenge the scientific denial of the soul's existence with a book
that proves that the brain is not the sole explanation behind human
thought and behavior.
Casimir J. Bonk, a longtime engineer and student of metaphysics,
has found physical scientific evidence of the nonphysical soul
through his investigations of reincarnated subjects who can recall
experiences from previous lives.
Discover why Descartes Was Right Souls Do Exist and
Reincarnation Proves It. For instance: Dr. Ian Stevenson and others
have shown that reincarnated subjects can recall details from past
lives, proving that the brain is not the prime location of memory.
If memory were physical, it would cease upon death. By contrasting
metaphysical views of the world with scientific theories, an
original description of human duality explains the true nature of
humanity. Using an engineer's approach, uncover how the brain
really works and why science fails to explain the memories of the
reincarnated. Close the gap between the physical and nonphysical
worlds and answer the questions about human nature that have
haunted the world forever in Descartes Was Right Souls Do Exist and
Reincarnation Proves It.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
