These two volumes offer an unprecedented collection of flags, seals, and symbols used every day around the world. In today's global society it is necessary to recognize and identify not only our own symbols, but symbols from nations and territories far removed from home. Empowering readers to identify symbols in daily use all over the world, The Complete Guide to National Symbols and Emblems features an extensive collection of international symbols and cultural emblems never before compiled in such a concise and easy-to-use work. It is inclusive of all the UN member states and some of the most prominent stateless nations. This refreshing alternative to other commonly used sites blends both the political and cultural, including not only flags, national seals, and national anthems, but also foods and recipes, national heroes, sports teams, festivals, and pivotal events that figure in the formation of national identity. This versatile source will prove valuable to a wide audience, benefiting not only high school and undergraduate student researchers, but international businesses, journalists, and government offices.
Matriculture, Shamanism, and the Authority of Women
Author: Linnéa Rowlatt
language: en
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Release Date: 2025-07-31
This book is an edited collection of chapters featuring research into the history and contemporary expressions of matricultures in communities that include the Basque of northern Spain and southern France, the Mosuo of China, the Ahtna of southern Alaska, the Pangcah/Amis of Taiwan, and the Ho-chunk and Cherokee of the contiguous United States, as well as present-day settler American society. Based on Geertzian theory, matriculture is a term used here to encompass that entire cultural system present within every society pertaining to mothers, women, and the feminine; in other words, the various cultural worlds that women inhabit, voluntarily or involuntarily. Power, in this context, represents the authority that women wield or are denied in these worlds. This book, then, explores intersections between matriculture and power among a wide range of societies; contributors document the waxing and waning of matriculture across diverse realms of the spiritual/shamanic and the socio-political. By examining the powers that be, these contributions provide new avenues of analysis and throw light on the forces at work that support or suppress women’s authority, action, and agency. They point to the social benefits of a thriving matriculture, and to the conditions necessary for all members of a society to flourish.
The Coming Swarm
Author: Molly Sauter
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 2014-10-23
This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. What is Hacktivism? In The Coming Swarm, rising star Molly Sauter examines the history, development, theory, and practice of distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political activism. The internet is a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely accepted activist tools-petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others-find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, The Coming Swarm uses activist DDOS actions as the foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil disobedience on the internet.
