With more than fifty contributors, Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems-relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility-that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges. Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge is an essential resource for students, academics, members of Tribal, state, and federal governments, Indigenous communities, and non-Indigenous allies as well as a valuable addition to environmental and Indigenous studies collections.Contributors include: Melinda M.

Grimdark literature is characterised by its dark and violent tone, as well as its focus on morally ambiguous or flawed protagonists who are often struggling to survive in brutal and unforgiving worlds. While there is no strict definition of what qualifies as grimdark, common elements include graphic violence, bleak settings, and characters who are often driven by self-interest or survival rather than altruism or a sense of justice. This subgenre is often associated with fantasy and science fiction, but it can also be found in other genres such as horror and thriller. Sometimes seen as controversial, it can be a powerful critique of traditional heroic narratives and a reflection of the darker aspects of human nature. Regardless of one's perspective, it's clear that grimdark literature has become increasingly popular in recent years. Seventeen authors bring you their tales of dark and dastardly heroes.

Odin has no interest in worthless wolves... Which suits me just fine. I'm a dancer, a college student-not a warrior. I'll leave the battle against mythological monsters to Robbie and the other fighters in my pack. I don't even have my wolf yet. But then the fight finds me, and it turns out, I'm not so worthless after all. Odin does want me-and my magic. Except, if I'm so valuable, why does Robbie-my fated mate-still want me to leave? My wolf insists Britta is ours... But I'll fight fang and claw to set her free. My mate's going to conquer the dance world, not bury her dreams in the Montana mountains, like my mother did. Fighting psychotic wolves who want to end the world is my calling, not hers. But then her wolf rises, and everything changes. Now, I'll have to battle both desire and destiny to keep her safe-even if it kills me. ***If you love fated mates, sassy heroines, and growly, protective Alpha heroes, you'll adore Wolf's Kiss-a standalone, action-packed, friends-to-lovers paranormal romance set in the contemporary fantasy world of the Norse gods!

As a pro-cheerleader, dating a football player is forbidden- so there's no way I'm telling anybody I drunkenly married one in Vegas. One night of fun turns into a morning of regret when I wake up hungover, fully clothed, and next to muscle-bound wide receiver Ty Matthews... and a phone full of evidence of our Elvis ordained nuptials. Talk about bad choices: I can be kicked off the team for talking to a football player, much less marrying one. But after a night of spilling my darkest secrets, even playboy Ty knows exactly how to persuade me to stay married to him- he promises to fund my small business dreams if I convince his parents we're together. Our so-called agreement is already off to a crazy start: I don't want to lose my coveted spot on the cheer team, and we have to work to keep it a secret from almost everyone. Just when I start to think I can have it all: the money for my business, cheering for a pro-football team, and even an accidental husband who treats me like gold... the cracks begin to show. I don't just stand to lose my spot on the team, either, because losing Ty Matthews might break my whole heart.

I'll never date a football player- but all the veteran quarterback wants? Me. Daniel My life's defined by my long career as a quarterback. I'm determined to have a great season, because I'm not sure how many I have left. But when I slam into gorgeous reporter Kelsey Cole on the sidelines, my focus on the game takes a backseat to my fascination with her. She's tiny, smart, and fierce, and she makes me feel young again. Only one problem: she hates football-with good reason, too. Still, you don't become a champion quarterback without learning how to fight for what you want. Football's always come first, but Kelsey might be the one to change that. Kelsey The last thing I need is to get involved with huge and handsome quarterback Daniel Harrison. Under all those muscles he's hiding charm and a surprising intellect- an irresistible combination. I can't deny our chemistry, but I can't stand what he does for a living. Not to mention, once the internet starts shipping us, the spotlight becomes unbearable. The fans will hate me even more when they find out I'm writing a piece that could leave the league they love in shambles. There's no future for the hot quarterback and I- so why can't I say goodbye?

Archaeologists have a history of being prime agents of change, particularly in advocating for protection and preservation of historical resources. As more social issues intersect with archaeology and historical sites, we see archaeologists and others continuing to advocate for not only historic resources, but for the larger social justice issues that threaten the communities in which these resources reside. Inspired by the idea of revolution and excitement about the ways archaeology is being used in social justice arenas, this volume seeks to visualize archaeology as part of a movement by redefining what archaeology is and does for the greater good.

Nothing is spookier than a second chance at love. I'm done juggling dead-end jobs and deadbeat boyfriends. It's time to nail down my goal of owning a hotel - and fix my friendship with my ex-best friend, Jack Colson. He's a big shot investor, and I'm going to need one. Nailing him barely crosses my mind. I might actually get my life in order, especially if I snag the deep (and deeply weird) discount for staying an entire weekend at my dream property. It's hard not to fall in love with the place. Though I could do without the creepy doll that lives there, the noises Jack insists are raccoons, and the eerie AF abandoned hotel I'd need an even spookier amount of money to renovate. The worst part is, I'm falling for Jack... again. He'll never invest if he finds out I have feelings for him. But as we work through the phantoms of problems past, we'll have to figure out if the property is infested with rodents - or something else that goes bump in the night.
