The industrial food system, from production to consumption and
waste, is a major contributor to environmental, social, and
economic problems. A few powerful multinational corporations have
consolidated control of agricultural markets and wealth while many
farmers struggle to make a living and millions of people go hungry
every day. Consumer access to healthy and culturally appropriate
food remains largely an option for only those who can afford it.
Responding to these destructive practices, global agrarian
movements are calling for a transition to agroecology.
Agroecological farming follows ecological principles for growing
food in a way that respects diverse sociocultural contexts,
connects urban eaters and rural growers, and attends to power
dynamics. Growing and Eating Sustainably shines light on the
process of agroecological transition by showcasing the experiences
of growers and eaters in southern Brazil, a country where agrarian
movements have long been at the forefront of pushing for more
sustainable and just food systems. Through stories and photographs
of people, landscapes, farms and farming practices, and urban
spaces, this book communicates how to advance systems-level
agroecological transitions by linking rural and urban areas and
connecting diverse agroecological experiences, with insights that
have relevance for supporting similar transitions around the world.
Cultural competence is more than an admirable goal: it is an
essential skill set for mental health professionals working in a
diverse global society marked by crisis and trauma. It is essential
for clinicians to understand the intricate mix of history and
self-concept, identity and tradition that are central not only for
ameliorating psychological problems but to foster psychological
health and well-being. As the definition of culture takes on
broader meanings-at once embracing multiple identities and
increasing globalization- Cultural Competency Training in a Global
Society brings a vital perspective and practical understanding to
clinical, counseling, and school psychologists, as well as to
graduate students entering these fields. By describing a
comprehensive training model for professional education and
practice in the United States with ethnic minority groups,
indigenous populations, immigrants, and refugees, this book has
relevance for other multicultural societies because the
implications are multidisciplinary in focus and potentially
international in scope. The existing and emergent global
multicultural populations described in this book represent the
neglected human faces of economic globalization. Among the topics
covered: Requirements for professional training in cultural
competency. Research basis for cultural competency training.
International resources and their usage in training and practice.
Multicultural assessment in the service of intervention. Evaluating
cultural competency training.

Gemstone Wire Tree Sculptures is a guide to help create and design
gem trees as another form of the lapidary arts. Gem, mineral and
bead enthusiasts as well as those who love craft projects, now have
the opportunity to learn this lost art form and how it is used as a
creative outlet. All instructions are designed with the beginner in
mind and include photos and diagrams to help navigate through the
steps.
This is a great hobby for creating inexpensive gifts for family
and friends that will delight and amaze them. Learn how the trees
can be personalized for that special person by using gemstones,
beads and charms.
As a bonus, a chapter has been included on how this hobby can
become a positive influence on your personal development and help
manage your stress. One of Dana's students once commented that she
didn't realize that just the simple act of twisting gems on wire
could be so relaxing and take your mind off other worries.
