Creating Participatory Dialogue in Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Interpretation: Multinational Perspectives
Author: John H. Jameson
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030819574
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 259
Book Description
This volume examines evolving trends and transnational perspectives on public interpretation of archaeological and cultural heritage, as well as levels of communication, from local to regional, national and international. It is presented in the context of the evolution of cultural heritage studies from the 20th century “expert approach” to the 21st century “people-centered approach,” with public participation and community involvement at all phases of the decision-making process. Our premise is not just about bringing in community members to be partners in decision making processes; some projects are being initiated by the community--not the heritage experts. In some instances, community members are central in initiating and bringing about change rather than the archaeologists or heritage specialists. In several cases in the book, descendants take the lead in changing heritage narratives. The book addresses several central questions: Do these actions represent new emphases, or more fundamental pedagogical shifts, in interpretation? Are they resulting in more effective interpretation in facilitating emotional and intellectual connections and meanings for audiences? Are they revealing silenced histories? Can they contribute to, or help mediate, dialogues among a diversity of cultures? Can they be shared experiences as examples of good practice at national and international levels? What are the interpretation and presentation challenges for the future? Cultural heritage, as an expression of a diversity of cultures, can be an important mediator between pasts and futures. In the past, people in power from the dominant ethnic, racial, socio-economic, gender, and religious groups determined the heritage message. Minorities were often silenced; their participation in the building and growth of a city, county, or nation’s history was overlooked. New philosophical/methodological trends in public interpretation are reshaping the messages delivered at archaeological/cultural heritage sites worldwide. The role of the experts, as well as the participatory engagement of audiences and stakeholders are being redefined and reassessed. This book explores these processes, their results and effects on the future.

DNA Witnessed God's Creation
Author: Victor W Chang , Guoping Song
Publisher: Samuel Chang
ISBN: 1640086811
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Who are we? Where are we from? These questions have troubled people for centuries. Textbooks have long taught us that humans evolved from apes. Today, a new science, Molecular Anthropology, tells us that: nearly 7 billion humans in the world share a common grand, grand…father, the Y-chromosome Adam. And they also share a common grand, grand…mother, the Mitochondrial Eve. The difference in DNA coding is only one-thousandth between any persons in the world. After reading this book, you will be convinced that humans could not have been the result of Evolution. In 1987, Professor Allan Wilson’s research team at UC Berkeley proposed the “Mitochondrial Eve Theory” by DNA coding that all humans originated from one woman who lived about 200,000 years ago. In 1995, Drs. Dorit et. proposed the “Adam Theory” by DNA coding of Y-Chromosomal that all humans originated from one man. There are two kinds of DNA encoding in our body: chromosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA. The chromosome consists of three types: autosome, Y chromosome, and X chromosome. The Eve Theory is founded on the mitochondrial DNA while the Adam Theory is founded on the Y chromosome. So what can we see from the autosome? The simple biological fact that “there are no differences between the autosomes of male and female”, tells us a striking truth that is: the autosome of all men in the world must come from only one original version, and cannot be produced randomly. Therefore, the authors of this book have established a “The only one Adam theory” by the consistency of autosomal DNA coding of men and women. All human beings on earth came from him and the earliest female ancestor came from this male ancestor. In addition, we also provide you with an answer which science cannot offer: Creationism.

The Evolution of Adam
Author: Peter Enns
Publisher: Brazos Press
ISBN: 1493432702
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Can Christianity and evolution coexist? Traditional Christian teaching presents Jesus as reversing the effects of the fall of Adam. But an evolutionary view of human origins doesn't allow for a literal Adam, making evolution seemingly incompatible with what Genesis and the apostle Paul say about him. For Christians who both accept evolution and want to take the Bible seriously, this can present a faith-shaking tension. Popular Old Testament scholar Peter Enns offers a way forward by explaining how this tension is caused not by the discoveries of science but by false expectations about the biblical texts. In this 10th anniversary edition, Enns updates readers on developments in the historical Adam debate, helping them reconcile Genesis and Paul with current views on evolution and human origins. This edition includes an afterword that explains Enns's own theological evolution since the first edition released.

Regenerative Oikonomics
Author: Andri Werner Stahel
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030956997
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
This book presents a unique real-world-centred approach to economic life from a phenomenological approach. It offers a much-needed alternative to conventional economic thinking, giving a transdisciplinary depiction of the economic process’s social, cultural, technological, political, and ecological dimensions. Doing so appeals to students and researchers in economics aiming to get an alternative to the reductionist model-based approach. Written in a jargon-free and non-technical way, it appeals to non-economists alike and those seeking a more profound and living understanding of the economic process. What is the role of nature in the economic process? Is there more to economics than we have been told? Do we have infinite needs? What are these needs? Can we keep on growing forever? Does economic growth improve our wellbeing? Why is the income gap widening? What is the role of financial capital in our current world? Are there other forms of producing, distributing, and consuming wealth beyond markets? What are the functions of markets, and how do they work in the real world? These and many other aspects are discussed in living and holistic ways in this book. It is a must-read for all those interested in gaining a more profound and genuine understanding of our current reality and those looking for ways out of our current crises.
