Heritage in the Body
Kristina Baines
Through storytelling, ethnography, and interviews, this volume examines how Indigenous Maya and Garifuna Belizeans—both in Belize and in the United States—navigate macro-level processes such as economic development, climate change, political shifts, and global health crises in the context of changes in their own lives. Employing an embodied ecological heritage (EEH) framework, this work explores the links between health and heritage. It offers insights into how heritage practices become embodied as ways to maintain and support happy, healthy lives.

Washington State's Round Barns
Tom Bartuska
Enchanted by their beauty, complexity, and historical significance, Tom and Helen Bartuska spent decades researching archives and visiting every Washington round barn over fifty years old, at least two stories, and over fifty feet in diameter they could find. When possible, they took photographs and talked with owners to tell each structure's story--who built it and when, original and current uses, individual characteristics, construction details, and more. They also introduce the history, development, and successful re-use and conservation of other types of buildings, hoping to inspire others to help maintain, preserve, and reanimate existing structures and unite communities.

Examining Stereotypes and Parenting Behaviors of Asian Heritage Parents
Bhandari
In the field of academic scholarship, the study of parenting has been extensive, yet it has often been unable to capture the full essence of this complex endeavor. The existing literature has often confined itself to the boundaries of individual disciplines. This limitation has hindered our understanding of the intricate interplay between these aspects and the values and beliefs that guide parenting. Furthermore, in the context of South Asian parents in the UK, the existing research has typically focused on parents from East and Southeast Asia, often leaving the unique experiences of South Asian parents overlooked. Examining Stereotypes and Parenting Behaviors of Asian Heritage Parents: Discourse and Case Studies offers a pioneering solution to this problem. It represents a groundbreaking initiative to break free from the constraints of traditional research methodologies and provide an unfiltered, in-depth look at the real narratives of South Asian parents in the UK. By weaving together the psychological, emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of parenting, this book uncovers a holistic view of this complex journey, one that transcends the limitations of sociology, psychology, or cultural studies. It does not aim to solve problems but rather seeks to capture authentic "family stories" and parenting experiences directly from the voices of the parents themselves.
