Tsawalk / E. Richard (Umeek) Atleo

Public ISBD Title : Tsawalk : A Nuu-chah-nulth Worldview Material Type: printed text Authors: E. Richard (Umeek) Atleo, Author Publisher: UBC Press Publication Date: 2004 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-7748-1084-5 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Indigenous Peoples and First Peoples Philosophy Religion and Spirituality Keywords: Nootka, Vancouver Island, Creation Mythology Abstract: Western philosophy has long held scientific rationalism in a place of honour. Reason, that particularly exalted human quality, has become steadily distanced from the metaphysical aspects of existence, such as spirit, faith, and intuition. In Tsawalk, hereditary chief Umeek introduces us to an alternative indigenous worldview -- an ontology drawn from the Nuu-chah-nulth origin stories. Umeek develops a theory of "Tsawalk," meaning "one," that views the nature of existence as an integrated and orderly whole, and thereby recognizes the intrinsic relationship between the physical and spiritual. By retelling and analyzing the origin stories of Son of Raven and Son of Mucus, Umeek demonstrates how Tsawalk provides a viable theoretical alternative that both complements and expands the view of reality presented by Western science. Tsawalk, he argues, allows both Western and indigenous views to be combined in order to advance our understanding of the universe. In addition, he shows how various fundamental aspects of Nuu-chah-nulth society are based upon Tsawalk, and what implications it has today for both Native and non-Native peoples. A valuable contribution to Native studies, anthropology, and philosophy, Tsawalk offers a revitalizing and thoughtful complement to Western scientific worldviews. - Book Jacket Tsawalk : A Nuu-chah-nulth Worldview [printed text] / E.

Drawing together the perspectives of social scientists, journalists, and ATI advocates, Brokering Access explores the policies and practices surrounding access to information at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. This groundbreaking volume is the first of its kind to promote the idea that ATI should be used as a critical research strategy.

Globalization and Well-Being / John Helliwell

Public ISBD Title : Globalization and Well-Being Material Type: printed text Authors: John Helliwell, Author Publisher: UBC Press Publication Date: 2002 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-7748-0993-1 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Alternative Economies Economics Abstract: Researchers and policy-makers are taking a new look at public policies to find broader grounds for assessing their economic and social impacts on individuals, families, communities, and nations. This book introduces this new research on social capital and well-being and applies it to key issues facing individuals and governments in the age of globalization. John Helliwell first looks at the latest evidence about the extent to which globalization has altered the scope and salience of nation-states. He then deals with the implications for both domestic and international policies. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes well-being as an explicit focus for research and for public policies. He argues that, whatever one thinks of globalization, there is ample scope for countries like Canada to not only retain their distinctive qualities but also to have independent national and international policies.
