Over the past decade, our understanding of the fundamental
differences in child development, behavior, and emotional maturity
between boys and girls has increased dramatically, and as a result,
many gender-specific interventions and support programs have been
developed to meet the needs of parents, teachers, and mental health
professionals. However, these all take the form of responses
designed to minimize an already disruptive behavior pattern. What
has been needed is a pro-active program whose goal is to instill
positive skills and patterns in 'at-risk' boys, rather than waiting
to address problems after they are already visible. The BAM! Boys
Advocacy and Mentoring program fills this need by providing the
first guidebook for group facilitators who want to lead
preventative boys groups designed to foster communication skills
and emotional connections. Based on years of research and refined
over the course of countless sessions run by the authors, the
program has been field-tested and tailored for use either in the
school setting or outside. Over a series of group sessions,
participants are encouraged to understand their emotions and
interpersonal interactions without losing a sense of 'maleness' as
a result of emotional growth and communication with peers about
personal issues. The activities are designed to be engaging across
age groups, and the individual exercises and program structure can
be modified to fit into any existing school- or community-based
mentoring system. The guidebook contains all of the information and
tools a facilitator needs in order to implement and maintain these
boys groups.
In the rich tradition of mobile communication studies and new
media, this volume examines how mobile technologies are being
embraced by Indigenous people all over the world. As mobile phones
have revolutionised society both in developed and developing
countries, so Indigenous people are using mobile devices to bring
their communities into the twenty-first century. The explosion of
mobile devices and applications in Indigenous communities addresses
issues of isolation and building an environment for the learning
and sharing of knowledge, providing support for cultural and
language revitalisation, and offering the means for social and
economic renewal. This book explores how mobile technologies are
overcoming disadvantage and the tyrannies of distance, allowing
benefits to flow directly to Indigenous people and bringing
wide-ranging changes to their lives. It begins with general issues
and theoretical perspectives followed by empirical case studies
that include the establishment of Indigenous mobile networks and
practices, mobile technologies for social change and, finally, the
ways in which mobile technology is being used to sustain Indigenous
culture and language.

This book presents a unique approach to person-centered
anthropology, providing a new form of practice theory that
incorporates and explains sources of cultural change. Built around
the learning and use of autobiographical narrative forms, it draws
from, and expands on, phenomenological, psychological, and moral
anthropological traditions. The author draws on extensive original
fieldwork in Thailand to explore questions including: how Buddhism
has dealt with the appearance of global capitalism; and why some
Thais continue to pursue nirvana-oriented Buddhist practices when
karma-oriented reward-systems seem to be more satisfying as a
whole. Where previous person-centered ethnographies have explored
the ways in which social forces cause individuals to conform to
cultural norms, this work advances the analysis by focusing on how
ideas are transmitted from individuals to into wider society. This
book will provide fresh insights of particular interest to
psychological, phenomenological and narrative anthropologists; as
well as to researchers working in the fields of religious and Asian
studies.

"The United States of America is not in the Bible." So said a
noted pastor, during a national interview. Is this true? If so, the
implications are staggering. America would be a nation declining
into oblivion, or she might be Babylon. Either way, she would be
hated by God, and Christian believers should get out while they
can.
However, what if the United States of America is in the Bible?
Welcome to the discovery Steven Grant takes you on an exciting ride
through the Bible and history, one that reads like an adventure
novel. Questions addressed in the book include:
- Is America merely lucky?
- Does God have His hand in America's history?
- What will happen to America?
- How does America fit into God's plan?
You may not think of America the same way after reading this
book. For Christians, and for patriots who have loved America but
didn't know why, this is a book for you. "America in the Bible."
Heaven's kingdom. It's time for the truth. And it's time you
knew.
