Описание: The Mekong River has undergone vast infrastructural changes in recent years, including the construction of dams across its main stream. These projects, along with the introduction of new fish species, changing political fortunes, and international migrant labor, have all made a profound impact upon the lives of those residing on the great river. It also impacts how they dream. In Mekong Dreaming, Andrew Alan Johnson explores the changing relationship between the river and the residents of Ban Beuk, a village on the Thailand-Laos border, by focusing on the effect that construction has had on human and inhuman elements of the villagers' world. Johnson shows how inhabitants come to terms with the profound impact that remote, intangible, and yet powerful forces—from global markets and remote bureaucrats to ghosts, spirits, and gods—have on their livelihoods. Through dreams, migration, new religious practices, and new ways of dwelling on a changed river, inhabitants struggle to understand and affect the distant, the inassimilable, and the occult, which offer both sources of power and potential disaster.
Описание: This day-by-day account of Abraham Lincoln's last six weeks of life covers a period of extraordinary events, not only for the president himself but for the fate of the nation. From March 4 to April 15, 1865--a momentous time for the nation--Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address, supervised climatic battles leading up to the end of the Civil War, learned that Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, and finally was killed by assassin John Wilkes Booth at Ford's Theatre. Weaving an arresting narrative around the historical facts, historian David Alan Johnson brings to life the president's daily routine, as he guided the country through one of the most tumultuous periods of American history. The reader follows the president as he greets visitors at the inaugural ball, asks abolitionist Frederick Douglass's opinion of the inaugural address, confers with Generals Grant and Sherman on the final stages of the war, visits a field hospital for wounded outside City Point, Virginia, and attempts to calm his high-strung wife Mary, who appears on the verge of nervous collapse. We read excerpts from press reviews of Lincoln's second inaugural address, learn that Mrs. Lincoln's ball gown created a sensation, and are given eye-witness accounts of the celebrations and drunken revelry that broke out in Washington when the end of the war was announced. This engagingly written narrative history of a short but extremely important span of days vividly depicts the actions and thoughts of one of our greatest presidents during a time of national emergency.

Описание: Pentecostal Christianity is flourishing inside the prisons of Rio de Janeiro. To find out why, Andrew Johnson dug deep into the prisons themselves. He began by spending two weeks living in a Brazilian prison as if he were an inmate: sleeping in the same cells as the inmates, eating the same food, and participating in the men's daily routines as if he were incarcerated. And he returned many times afterward to observe prison churches' worship services, which were led by inmates who had been voted into positions of leadership by their fellow prisoners. He accompanied Pentecostal volunteers when they visited cells that were controlled by Rio's most dominant criminal gang to lead worship services, provide health care, and deliver other social services to the inmates. Why does this faith resonate so profoundly with the incarcerated? Pentecostalism, argues Johnson, is the faith of the killable people and offers ex-criminals and gang members the opportunity to positively reinvent their public personas. If I Give My Soul is a deeply personal look at the relationship between the margins of Brazilian society and the Pentecostal faith, both behind bars and in the favelas, Rio de Janeiro's peripheral neighborhoods. Based on his intimate relationships with the figures in this book, Johnson makes a passionate case that Pentecostal practice behind bars is an act of political radicalism as much as a spiritual experience.

Описание: This book describes the basic elements of some of the essential learning theories and their applications for teaching and learning.
In this fast paced society of ours, we are always on the run. And as a result we can't always make the healthiest of choices. In the midst of our rush we often find ourselves trapped between the option of fast and unhealthy food or in running late for work, school, and life's other engagements. Many wish they could find some other way, but they have quite a hard time trying to find it.
But I'm here to tell you that there is another way through this stressful and unprepared wilderness and it is called "Meal Prep". This ingenious strategy allows you to take the little bit of time that you have and make the most of it to prepare quality meals for the whole busy week ahead of you. All you need, for example, is just a little bit of free time once a week, maybe as little as 30 minutes, in order to make preparations of your meals in advance.
These strategically focused preps take care of the hard work such as chopping vegetables and cooking meat in advance so that when it comes time to eat the only work that is left for you is the most basic of tasks, such as heating up the prepped meal in the microwave for 30 seconds. That's right, by taking 30 minutes out of your schedule sometime during the end of the week, you can successfully prep and pack fully made meals that can be finalized in less than a minute when it is finally time for you to eat.
The only thing you need is some good Tupperware containers and perhaps a few plastic bags and you can have a fully made home cooked meal stocked up for when you need it. These wholesome meals will be much healthier for you than their quicker and more processed counterparts. They will also end up saving you a lot of money.
Even if health wasn't an issue, just think of all the money you waste each and every time you go through the drive thru to get burgers and fries, when you could have clean and delicious food made from scratch right out of your home. In making homemade meals you are using a set amount of recipes that you can buy in bulk and use for the long haul.
By the end of the month you will have saved a ton of money in the process. This book clearly explains that process to you, and further elaborates how you can make the most of the benefits that meal prepping can offer.
In this book you will find:
Detailed Meal Prep Strategies
Meal Preps for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Specially Made Meal Preps for Vegetarians and Vegans
Meal Preps for Homemade Desserts
And a whole lot more
