The teenage life is hard enough for everyone. For Rose and her best
friend Shane, life gets even harder. Life gets harder for everyone
in the town of Lithia Springs, Georgia. With a population under
3,000, rumors travel fast. A death almost shatters this place. This
death will change people's lives for better, and for the worse.
Secrets will come out of hiding, true personalities will show, and
someone's life will change forever. What you see isn't always what
you get.
Flooding is a serious problem for plants. As with humans, when
plants (and plant roots, in particular) that normally live out of
water are submerged underwater, they suffocate. But plants that
naturally live in wet places don't die How are they able to survive
in water when upland plants cannot? Sullivan explains how water
plants have adapted strategies for overcoming the hazardous
conditions of living in water. WHY WATER PLANTS DON'T DROWN begins
with an introduction to the basic biological and ecological
requirements of all plants (gas exchange, exposure to light,
structural support, and reproduction). Sullivan goes on to describe
how aquatic plants (Divers, Floaters, and Floating-Leaf Plants)
meet those requirements. The second part of the book covers
emergent wetland plants, which Sullivan refers to as Waders (plants
that only get their "feet" wet). Adaptations for living in the
water evolved at different times and from unrelated groups of
upland plants. Sullivan's clear explanations and Elliott's lively
illustrations make it effortless and fun to understand how plants
adapted to living in water. Sullivan draws from her years of
teaching and field experience to illuminate fascinating biological
details of the many example species she includes for each category
of water plants. The intriguing insights and colorful artistic
interpretations will make any nature enthusiast eager to explore
aquatic and wetland plant ecology.
Behavioural health disorders (including both mental disorders and
substance use disorders) affect a large number of people and
contribute costs to the health care system, even as indicated
treatment is often not received by individuals in need. In the
United States, an estimated 26% of non-institutionalised adults
experience behavioural health disorders in a given year; over the
course of a lifetime, the estimate rises to 46%. This book provides
an overview of sections in the health reform law that are expected
to affect the financing and delivery of behavioural health care
services. Access to health care services is determined by multiple
factors, including financing arrangements and covered benefits. The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) may increase
access to behavioural health services by increasing the
availability and affordability of financing arrangements; the law
also contains sections that will affect both the coverage of
behavioural health services, as well as the conditions under which
those services are covered.
The first major visual and cultural exploration of the legacy of La
Malinche, simultaneously reviled as a traitor to her people and
hailed as the mother of Mexico An enslaved Indigenous girl who
became Hernan Cortes's interpreter and cultural translator,
Malinche stood at center stage in one of the most significant
events of modern history. Linguistically gifted, she played a key
role in the transactions, negotiations, and conflicts between the
Spanish and the Indigenous populations of Mexico that shaped the
course of global politics for centuries to come. As mother to
Cortes's firstborn son, she became the symbolic progenitor of a
modern Mexican nation and a heroine to Chicana and Mexicana
artists. Traitor, Survivor, Icon is the first major publication to
present a comprehensive visual exploration of Malinche's enduring
impact on communities living on both sides of the US-Mexico border.
Five hundred years after her death, her image and legacy remain
relevant to conversations around female empowerment, indigeneity,
and national identity throughout the Americas. This book
establishes and examines her symbolic import and the ways in which
artists, scholars, and activists have appropriated her image to
interpret and express their own experiences and agendas, from the
1500s through today. Published in association with the Denver Art
Museum Exhibition Schedule: Denver Art Museum (February 6-May 8,
2022) Albuquerque Museum (June 11-September 4, 2022) San Antonio
Museum of Art (October 14, 2022-January 8, 2023)
This volume presents the work of ten scholars who shared their
research at the Denver Art Museum's 2017 symposium hosted by the
Frederick and Jan Mayer Center for Pre-Columbian and Spanish
Colonial Art. Centered on the theme of murals, each chapter
discusses how this art form functions as a powerful tool for the
expression of political, social, or religious ideas across diverse
time periods and cultures in the Americas, from the ancient rock
cave paintings of Guerrero, Mexico, to the murals of the 1960s
Chicano movement. Artist Judy Baca discusses her practice with
Jesse Laird Ortega (Denver Art Museum). Claudia Brittenham
(University of Chicago) considers the Rainbow Serpent mural from
Chichen Itza's Temple of the Chacmool. Severin Fowles (Barnard
College) and Lindsay Montgomery (University of Arizona) reevaluate
rock art across the American plains and Southwest. Kelley
Hays-Gilpin (Northern Arizona University) and Hopi artist Ed
Kabotie survey dry fresco mural painting in Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, and
Rio Grande Pueblo communities from the fifteenth century to the
present. Heather Hurst (Skidmore College) reconstructs the sequence
of drawing the Oxtotitlan cave paintings in Guerrero, Mexico, some
of the earliest mural paintings in Mesoamerica. Lucha Martinez de
Luna (INAH/independent scholar) examines how Chicano artists used
mural arts to make statements about identity and cultural heritage
in the context of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, with a
focus on Denver artists. Franco Rossi (Boston University) provides
a detailed examination of the Xultun mural images and texts, which
shed light on the training of Classic Maya scribes and the
transmission of artistic knowledge. Maria Teresa Uriarte
(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico) brings thirty years'
insight to the striking iconography of the murals of Teotihuacan.
The contributors in this interdisciplinary collection address the
problem of interconnection between the study of the "Other," either
Russian or American, and the shaping of national identities in the
two countries at different stages of US-Russian relations. The
focus of research interests were typically determined by the
political and social debates in scholars' native countries. In this
book, leading Russian and American scholars analyze the problems
arising from these intersections of academic, political, and
sociocultural contexts and the implicit biases they entail. The
book is divided into two parts, the first being a historical
overview of past configurations of the interrelationship between
fields and agendas, and the second covering the role of
institutionalized area studies in the twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries. In both parts the role of the "human
factor" in the study of mutual representations is elucidating.
