If God has created Adam for his own entertainment, and Eve for Adam's, then what did Eve design for her own entertainment, and what means does she create for that sake? Why does she excuse the act of stepping on her shadow, is she really this resilient on forgiveness or does she have a hidden agenda lurking behind? Who returned the balance to the equator of the world, and what elements constantly revive the madness of love? The unusual love shared by these very ordinary characters reverts into madness as it succumbs the world to them and them to the ancient world, will they constantly be revived by this beautiful sense of madness, or will they become memories, voicing a love echoed by each and every cell of their being, magnified by the touches of the hands of wind, tainted by fear and thoughts of independence into inhalation, if it ever exists in love and madness?

Animal lovers of all ages will appreciate this sweet calendar featuring heartwarming and beautiful photos of Juniper the happiest fox in the world participating in everyday antics with her friend Moose the dog.

This title was first published in 2000: The book gives a discussion and many empirical examples of the possibilities for comparative research on racism. In the book the questions and problems are discussed and the relative costs and benefits of comparative research are pointed out. The question on what should be considered and solved when doing comparative research is central and the different chapters give specific answers. Moreover, the comparative issue is also raised with respect to the monitoring of racism in different countries and to initiatives for combating racism.

This book critically assesses categorical divisions between indigenous individual and collective rights regimes embedded in the foundations of international human rights law. Both conceptual ambiguities and practice-related difficulties arising in vernacularisation processes point to the need of deeper reflection. Internal power struggles, vulnerabilities and intra-group inequalities go unnoticed in that context, leaving persisting forms of neo-colonialism, neo-liberalism and patriarchalism largely untouched. This is to the detriment of groups within indigenous communities such as women, the elderly or young people, alongside intergenerational rights representing considerable intersectional claims and agendas. Integrating legal theoretical, political, socio-legal and anthropological perspectives, this book disentangles indigenous rights frameworks in the particular case of peremptory norms whenever these reflect both individual and collective rights dimensions. Further-reaching conclusions are drawn for groups 'in between', different formations of minority groups demanding rights on their own terms. Particular absolute norms provide insights into such interplay transcending individual and collective frameworks. As one of the founding constitutive elements of indigenous collective frameworks, indigenous peoples' right to prior consultation exemplifies what we could describe as exerting a cumulative, spill-over and transcending effect. Related debates concerning participation and self-determination thereby gain salience in a complex web of players and interests at stake. Self-determination thereby assumes yet another dimension, namely as an umbrella tool of resistance enabling indigenous cosmovisions to materialise in the light of persisting patterns of epistemological oppression. Using a theoretical approach to close the supposed gap between indigenous rights frameworks informed by empirical insights from Bolivia, the Andes and Latin America, the book sheds light on developments in the African and European human rights systems.

From Pain to Purpose has clear instructions on how survivors of trauma and loss can get back on track in life and address any remaining healing that needs to be done. Jessika Fuhrmaneck is a survivor of abuse, exploitation, cancer, and divorce. At the end of it all, she had complex PTSD and felt utterly lost. She spent years in recovery programs to bring her mental and emotional state to a healthy place. After all the recovery, therapy, and healing, Jessika found that something was still missing. She wasn't able to get back on track with her life's calling - her primary purpose for being on earth. Jessika spent a year discovering how to return to her God given purposes and the result of her process is From Pain to Purpose. After discovering clear action steps that got her back on track with her calling, she wanted to share those concepts with the world so that other survivors of trauma and loss could also find their way back to all that they were meant to do and be. From Pain to Purpose leads those who have experienced a loss or trauma out of the fog and back into the light. It shows survivors how to go from lost and confused to clear and purposed.

This book addresses one of the most serious societal questions of our time: how to create new spaces and frameworks for minority recognition given the State-centric sovereignty discourse and the persisting equality jargon that dominate today's world. By so doing it approaches minority rights by means of a critical engagement with its underlying premises. Notably, it makes attempts to both construct and reconfigure neglected legal categories, in particular collective rights, and to deconstruct domestic constitutional orders. More precisely, it does so through diametrically opposed levels of analysis, that is top-down and bottom-up logics, by exploring sociolegal strategies, forms and formats of governance on the one hand, and grassroots demands on the other. Drawing on empirical findings in Europe and Latin America, the book gives us a sense of how recognition needs to be contextualised against the background of right-wing trends in Europe and the re-building of the State in the Andes. This is a fascinating study of one of the key questions engaging human rights, minority studies and discrimination law.

Long ago, when a great flood cleansed the land of unhappiness, the Grandfather sent Wanjblí the eagle to save one virtuous member of the human race and teach her how to live a good life.
