Today, comic art is the favorite reading fare for millions of
Asians, and is a government-sanctioned, value-added product, as in
the case of Korean and Japanese animation. Yet not much is known
about Asian cartooning.
"Themes and Issues in Asian Cartooning" uses overviews and case
studies by scholars to discuss Asian animation, humor magazines,
gag cartoons, comic strips, and comic books. The first half of the
book looks at contents and audiences of Malay humor magazines,
cultural labor in Korean animation, the reception of Aladdin in
Islamic Southeast Asia, and a Singaporean comic book as a
reflection of that society's personality. Four other chapters treat
gender and Asian comics, concentrating on Japanese anime and manga
and Indian comic books.
Instagram, Facebook, perfeksie. Die beeld wat op sosiale media van ouerskap voorgehou word is lieflik, maar o só ver van die werklikheid af. En moenie vergeet van die mommy wars nie: keiser of normaal, bors of bottel, om te sleep train of nie...
Lente, Juanli en Suzanne, drie doodgewone ma’s, het genoeg gehad van die mededinging en oordeel – ma’s behoort eerder vir mekaar 'n village te wees. En só is Die Naguilklub gebore: ’n oordeelvrye digitale ruimte waar ma’s mekaar inspireer en ondersteun deur die brutale fase van slapelose nagte, snotneuse en tantrums.
In dié boek deel die stigterlede hul persoonlike ouerskapervarings – sonder filters of voorgee – en gee raad sodat ander ma's kan sę: Ek ook! Meer As Net ’n Ma is eerlik, hartroerend, dikwels skreeusnaaks en gevul met die soet en swaarkry van ouerskap.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
'The Web of Meaning is both a profound personal meditation on human
existence and a tour-de-force weaving together of historic and
contemporary world-wide secular and spiritual thought on the
deepest question of all: why are we here?' Gabor Mate M.D., author,
In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction 'We
need, now more than ever, to figure out how to make all kinds of
connections. This book can help--and therefore it can help with a
lot of the urgent tasks we face.' Bill McKibben, author, Falter:
Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out? As our civilization
careens towards a precipice of climate breakdown, ecological
destruction and gaping inequality, people are losing their
existential moorings. Our dominant worldview of disconnection,
which tells us we are split between mind and body, separate from
each other, and at odds with the natural world, has passed its
expiration date. Yet another world is possible. Award-winning
author, Jeremy Lent, investigates humanity's age-old questions -
who am I? why am I? how should I live? - from a fresh perspective,
weaving together findings from modern systems thinking,
evolutionary biology and cognitive neuroscience with insights from
Buddhism, Taoism and indigenous wisdom. The result is a
breathtaking accomplishment: a rich, coherent worldview based on a
deep recognition of connectedness within ourselves, between each
other, and with the entire natural world.
While the economic involvement of early modern Germany in slavery
and the slave trade is increasingly receiving attention, the direct
participation of Germans in human trafficking remains a blind spot
in historiography. This edited volume focuses on practices of
enslavement taking place within German territories in the early
modern period as well as on the people of African, Asian, and
Native American descent caught up in them.

This book explores international biomedical research and
development on the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. It
offers timely, multidisciplinary reflections on the social and
ethical issues raised by promises of early diagnostics and asks
under which conditions emerging diagnostic technologies can be
considered a responsible innovation. The initial chapters in this
edited volume provide an overview and a critical discussion of
recent developments in biomedical research on Alzheimer's disease.
Subsequent contributions explore the values at stake in current
practices of dealing with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, both
within and outside the biomedical domain. Novel diagnostic
technologies for Alzheimer's disease emerge in a complex and
shifting field, full of controversies. Innovating with care
requires a precise mapping of how concepts, values and
responsibilities are filled in through the confrontation of
practices. In doing so, the volume offers a practice-based approach
of responsible innovation that is also applicable to other fields
of innovation.
