Nu har Precious faktiskt tröttnat på att pappa jämt åker iväg på sina affärsresor utan henne, så en morgon smyger hon upp före alla andra och gömmer sig i bilen. Tanken är att hon ska krypa fram efter en stund och få följa med pappa, men hon somnar. När hon vaknar står bilen stilla och pappa är borta på något ärende. Precious behöver också gå iväg en liten stund, men när hon kommer tillbaka har pappa åkt och hon är ensam kvar! Vad ska hon göra nu? Hur ska hon ta sig hem igen?

Precious Forests

Forests are the dominant terrestrial ecosystem of Earth. They are distributed across the globe. Forests account for 75% of the gross primary productivity of the Earth's biosphere, and contain 80% of the Earth's plant biomass. Human society and forests influence each other in both positive and negative ways. Forests provide ecosystem services to humans. Forests can also impose costs, affect people's health, and interfere with tourist enjoyment. This publication presents reviews and research results on negative and positive human interference on forests, as well as ecology, management, governance, policy and economic issues. The book consists of four sections with 12 chapters derived from around the world.
When Maud Russell (1893-1989) first sailed for China in 1917, she traveled as one of a number of foreign secretaries dispatched by the YWCA to do Woman's Work for Woman. A product of the Progressive Era, she sought to bring the benefits of Christianity and Western civilization to a new generation of Chinese women struggling to find their own path to modernity in the wake of the 1911 Republican Revolution. Instead, over the next twenty-six years, Russell was herself transformed--from Christian liberal reformer to committed Marxist revolutionary. According to Karen Garner, Russell's personal political trajectory paralleled that of the YWCA in China, which evolved during the 1920s and 1930s from a Western-led, middle-class-oriented institution into a Chinese-led organization that addressed the needs of revolutionary working women. Crossing class, race, and cultural boundaries to learn from their Chinese associates, Russell and a few other western YWCA secretaries developed a shared vision of feminist social change that included support for the Chinese Communist Party and its leadership. Returning to the United States during World War II, Russell joined American liberals and leftists in promoting government cooperation with the Soviet Union and other Communist Party-led states and movements. After the war her views, including her advocacy of a one world Progressive Party, collided with the anticommunist imperatives of the emerging Cold War. In response, Russell adopted a defensive and dogmatic pro-communist stance from which she would never retreat. During a long and at times lonely career as a radical activist and publisher of the Far East Reporter (1952-1989), Russell was defamed and investigated by the anticommunist right and embraced by the antiwar New Left. Her notoriety as a proponent of friendship with the People's Republic of China soared during the restoration of U.S-China diplomatic relations in the 1970s, only to dissolve in the 1980s as she denounced the revival of capitalist economics in China on ideological grounds. Although Russell's own political vision may have narrowed over the years, Garner's reconstruction of her life broadens our understanding of U.S.-China relations during the twentieth century. Not only did Russell come to see her own country through the eyes of an ideological antagonist, she also brought to that vantage point the experiences of a modern American woman. As Garner shows, even if one did not agree with Russell's views, one could not deny the fervor of her commitment to gender equality, social justice, and internationalism.
When a Paiute Indian woman asks a Buddhist monk if she can "steal" Bodhichitta, she instantly becomes a spiritual guide for the monk and his prized disciple Daniel. Bodhichitta--the effort to perfect oneself for the sake of others--is the most refined of Buddha's instructions. The Native American woman demonstrates how this Buddhist maxim is an accurate description of the Paiute state of mind. As a result of her theft, an entourage of tech-savvy San Francisco millennials, Daniel, and the Buddhist monk set out to convince one of the world's largest corporations, the state of Nevada, and the EPA to right a wrong inflicted upon the Earth Mother of the Paiutes. From the cloistered Buddhist meditation center in San Francisco, Daniel, the monk, and members of the Buddhist community learn Buddha's real intention was to jump into the world and not separate from it for personal benefit. Their efforts inspire valid spiritual realizations that help them to adjust their lives according to the reality of the present moment and the power of the wisdom teachings of Buddha.

Is it enough to call the living traditions of a people "cultural retention"? For the Lenape, our ways are much more than something preserved-they are the heartbeat of our community, woven into daily life and passed from one generation to the next. Cohanzick Lenape Crabs invites readers to step into the rhythms of Lenape life, where every lesson is rooted in respect for the land, the animals, and the wisdom of our ancestors. Through stories of gathering crabs with my father, Chief Mark Quiet Hawk Gould, I share not only a cherished memory but a living tradition-one I hope my children and grandchildren will carry forward. Within these pages, you'll discover how we learn to identify seeds, plant and harvest with care, and prepare meals that sustain both body and spirit. You'll see the importance of every feather, fiber, and flame-how sinew ties our tools, pine needles become baskets, and every part of the animal is honored and used. These are not just skills, but teachings that shape our identity and connect us across generations. This story is only a part of our life, shaped by the changes we face but grounded in the enduring truth: we are our ancestors, and we are their children. With gratitude to illustrator Arnild, whose artistry brings these memories to life, I offer this book as both a record and a hope for all who wish to remember, learn, and continue the journey.
