Under the Shade of Thipaak is the first book to explore the cultural role of cycads, plants that evolved over 250 million years ago and are now critically endangered, in the ancient and modern Mesoamerican and Caribbean worlds. This volume demonstrates how these ancient plants have figured prominently in regional mythologies, rituals, art, and foodways from the Pleistocene-Holocene transition to the present. Contributors discuss the importance of cycads from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including biology and population genetics, historical ecology, archaeology, art history, linguistics, and conservation and sustainability. Chapters pay special attention to the enduring conceptual relationships between cycads and maize. This book demonstrates how a close examination of cycad-human relationships can motivate conservation of these threatened plants in ways that engage local communities, as well as promote the significance of ancient and modern practices that unite nature and culture.

Al final de mi vida laboral, decidi ponerme a recordar y escribir los mejores momentos de mi vida, mis experiencias positivas, lo bonito de mi vida; afortunadamente hay mucho de ello y lo hago como un homenaje a todas las personas que, de una u otra forma, me han acompanado en este camino por la vida. Tantos buenos momentos, tantas buenas personas en mi vida: mis padres, hermanos, mi esposa, mis hijos, toda nuestra gran y numerosa familia, mis insustituibles amigos que, aunque a traves de los anos algunos ya han partido, otros estan aun compartiendome su gran amistad. Mi historia da inicio en mi natal Ahuacatlan, Nayarit, mi tierra entranable, donde pase mis anos de juventud y cuyo recuerdo a la distancia me hace evocar aquellas imagenes de mis padres y hermanos, de la plaza, de mi pandilla, de nuestras andanzas por el rio, de las grandes huertas de aguacates, mangos y guayabas, de sus olores y colores, de la orquesta de mi padre y sus hermanos, de las corridas de toros, y de tantas cosas mas; este relato pasa luego a otra fase de mi vida, ya fuera de mi pueblo y valiendome de mi mismo en la ciudad de Mazatlan, Sinaloa, donde vivi una parte soltero y otra ya casado y en su fase final se narra el resto de mi vida en Nogales, Sonora, un maravilloso y acogedor lugar que me abrio los brazos y me adopto como suyo.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent childhood psychiatric condition, with estimates of more than 5% of children affected worldwide, and has a profound public health, personal, and family impact. At the same time, a multitude of adults, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, are living, coping, and thriving while experiencing ADHD. It can cost families raising a child with ADHD as much as five times the amount of raising a child without ADHD (Zhao et al. 2019). Given the chronic and pervasive challenges associated with ADHD, innovative approaches for supporting children, adolescents, and adults have been engaged, including the use of both novel and off-the-shelf technologies. A wide variety of connected and interactive technologies can enable new and different types of sociality, education, and work, support a variety of clinical and educational interventions, and allow for the possibility of educating the general population on issues of inclusion and varying models of disability. This book provides a comprehensive review of the historical and state-of-the-art use of technology by and for individuals with ADHD. Taking both a critical and constructive lens to this work, the book notes where great strides have been made and where there are still open questions and considerations for future work. This book provides background and lays foundation for a general understanding of both ADHD and innovative technologies in this space. The authors encourage students, researchers, and practitioners, both with and without ADHD diagnoses, to engage with this work, build upon it, and push the field further.
