Book Description
The information and activities in this resource book enhance children's knowledge and awareness of the components of tundra environments, including physical and biological characteristics. Students will discover where the tundras are located on our planet. They will find out what characteristics tundra environments have in common, what lives there, and how living things survive there. As they explore tundra organism adaptations, students will discover similarities and differences between living things in the tundra and those in other ecosystems. Engaging in activities that emphasize the ecology of plants and animals, food chains and food webs, and survival, students will begin to relate the structure of living things to their roles in the ecosystem. Four transparencies (print books) or PowerPoint slides (eBooks) are included to engage students in discussion and reinforce the concepts presented in the book.

Book Description
Amazonia and Siberia, classic regions of shamanism, have long challenged ‘western’ understandings of man’s place in the world. By exploring the social relations between humans and non-human entities credited with human-like personhood (not only animals and plants, but also ‘things’ such as artifacts, trade items, or mineral resources) from a comparative perspective, this volume offers valuable insights into the constitutions of humanity and personhood characteristic of the two areas. The contributors conducted their ethnographic fieldwork among peoples undergoing transformative processes of their lived environments, such as the depletion of natural resources and migration to urban centers. They describe here fundamental relational modes that are being tested in the face of change, presenting groundbreaking research on personhood and agency in shamanic societies and contributing to our global understanding of social and cultural change and continuity.
