Book excerpt: In the anticipated sequel to Keokee the Cherokee Boy, readers closely follow Keokee as he becomes torn between his true destiny and abandoning his rare gift in search of a normal life among his tribe. When Keokee discovered his ability to understand the languages of the wolf, crow, and other forest creatures, it became clear he is very different from the other Cherokee boys in his village of Oconaluftee. The ability, however rare and wonderful, set him apart from his peers in a way he never intended. Recognizing his son's odd gift, Keokee's father Stonega accompanies the boy to the Cherokee capital of Chota, hoping to solve the mystery of his son's ability. In Chota, Keokee and Stonega visit The Old One; the revered Keeper of Knowledge for the Cherokee Nation. He relates the ancient legend of the first Keokee and reveals Stonega's boy has a great destiny ahead of him. The Old One instructs father and son to return to their home, where Keokee will continue his "adventures" while learning the things Hawk, Crane, Chipmunk, and others of the forest clans can teach the Cherokee. Happy for more answers but unsatisfied with the result of the news, Keokee does return home - but with a massive weight on his chest. Soon, Keokee faces a tough realization: his destiny is not his own; instead, it's intertwined with the many people, plants, and animals of the world - even those he hasn't yet encountered. This sequel spins a relatable narrative for children and adults alike. Full of wonder, values, and purpose, Keokee's Destiny is a reminder that humans still have much to learn from nature, but they need to experience it firsthand. The novel teaches young children that when people sometimes fear or hate others, it's simply because they do not understand them.

Download or read book The Bill of Rights written by Akhil Reed Amar and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the deep insights of Hugo Black, William Brennan, and Felix Frankfurter that have defined our cherished Bill of Rights fatally flawed? With meticulous historical scholarship and elegant legal interpretation a leading scholar of Constitutional law boldly answers yes as he explodes conventional wisdom about the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution in this incisive new account of our most basic charter of liberty. Akhil Reed Amar brilliantly illuminates in rich detail not simply the text, structure, and history of individual clauses of the 1789 Bill, but their intended relationships to each other and to other constitutional provisions. Amar's corrective does not end there, however, for as his powerful narrative proves, a later generation of antislavery activists profoundly changed the meaning of the Bill in the Reconstruction era. With the Fourteenth Amendment, Americans underwent a new birth of freedom that transformed the old Bill of Rights. We have as a result a complex historical document originally designed to protect the people against self-interested government and revised by the Fourteenth Amendment to guard minority against majority. In our continuing battles over freedom of religion and expression, arms bearing, privacy, states' rights, and popular sovereignty, Amar concludes, we must hearken to both the Founding Fathers who created the Bill and their sons and daughters who reconstructed it. Amar's landmark work invites citizens to a deeper understanding of their Bill of Rights and will set the basic terms of debate about it for modern lawyers, jurists, and historians for years to come.

Download or read book A Prehistory of the Cloud written by Tung-Hui Hu and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The militarized legacy of the digital cloud: how the cloud grew out of older network technologies and politics. We may imagine the digital cloud as placeless, mute, ethereal, and unmediated. Yet the reality of the cloud is embodied in thousands of massive data centers, any one of which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. Even all these data centers are only one small part of the cloud. Behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a whole universe of technologies and cultural norms, all working to keep us from noticing their existence. In this book, Tung-Hui Hu examines the gap between the real and the virtual in our understanding of the cloud. Hu shows that the cloud grew out of such older networks as railroad tracks, sewer lines, and television circuits. He describes key moments in the prehistory of the cloud, from the game “Spacewar” as exemplar of time-sharing computers to Cold War bunkers that were later reused as data centers. Countering the popular perception of a new “cloudlike” political power that is dispersed and immaterial, Hu argues that the cloud grafts digital technologies onto older ways of exerting power over a population. But because we invest the cloud with cultural fantasies about security and participation, we fail to recognize its militarized origins and ideology. Moving between the materiality of the technology itself and its cultural rhetoric, Hu's account offers a set of new tools for rethinking the contemporary digital environment.
