If you're a J2EE software engineer looking to add a little Flash to your front-end, Reality J2EE: Architecting for Flash MX shows you how to integrate Flash and Java using best-practice principles in design, architecture, and software development. The only book to explain Flash from a J2EE developer's perspective, Reality J2EE: Architecting for Flash MX takes you through the complete development of an online banking application, using test-driven development to "design by intention" the server-side Java (using Junit and EJBUnit) and client-side ActionScript (using ActionScript Unit Testing), refactoring best-practice J2EE architectures to accommodate a Flash user interface. Rather than stick you with the student role, this book makes you a full-fledged member of a real-world development team, allowing you to sit in on the process of designing the applications, discussing development problems, and brainstorming to find solutions, with the result being a real, usable product.

With Flash Player on approximately 98 percent of computers connected to the Internet and Flash itself evolving from a simple animation tool to a robust rich-client development platform, there's been just one thing missing from Macromedia's product lineup: A way for server-side developers to easily integrate Flash development into their workflows. Enter Macromedia Flex: With it, you can do everything one can do with Flash--on the server using the Flex Presentation Server software and the new XML-based language MXML. This guide shows you how! If you've ever developed dynamic Web applications on J2EE and .NET architectures, or using technologies like JSP and ASP, you should have no problem transferring those skills to develop rich-client solutions with Flex. After introducing readers to rich-client applications, Flex, and its architecture and typical workflow, authors Steven Webster and Alistair McLeod explore the software feature by feature. Throughout, you'll find examples of the rich-client interfaces you can build with Flex as well as strategies for integrating your Flex apps with existing infrastructures.

This book is an ethnohistorical reconstruction of the establishment in New Zealand of a rare case of Maori home-rule over their traditional domain, backed by a special statute and investigated by a Crown commission the majority of whom were T&#363;hoe leaders. However, by 1913 T&#363;hoe home-rule over this vast domain was being subverted by the Crown, which by 1926 had obtained three-quarters of their reserve. By the 1950s this vast area had become the rugged Urewera National Park, isolating over 200 small blocks retained by stubborn T&#363;hoe "non-sellers". After a century of resistance, in 2014 the T&#363;hoe finally regained statutory control over their ancestral domain and a detailed apology from the Crown.

Following on from&nbsp;Volume I on the formation of the Urewera District Native Reserve, this monograph examines the period from 1908 to 1926, during which time the Crown subverted T&#363;hoe control of the UDNR, established a mere decade earlier. While Volume I described how the T&#363;hoe were able to deploy kin-based power to manipulate Crown power as well as confront one another, this volume describes ways in which the same ancestral descent groups closed ranks to survive nearly two decades of predatory Crown policies determined to dismantle their sanctuary. A relentless Crown campaign to purchase individual T&#363;hoe land shares ultimately resulted in a misleading Crown scheme to consolidate and relocate T&#363;hoe&nbsp; land shares, thereby freeing up land for the settlement of non- T&#363;hoe&nbsp; farmers. By the 1950s, over 200 small T&#363;hoe blocks were scattered throughout one of the largest National Parks in New Zealand. Although greatly weakened by these policies in terms of kinship solidarity as well as land and other resources, T&#363;hoe resistance continued until the return of the entire park in 2014--with unreserved apologies and promises of future support.&nbsp; &nbsp; In both volumes of A Separate Authority (He Mana&nbsp; Motuhake), Webster takes the stance of an ethnohistorian: he not only examines the various ways control over the&nbsp;Urewera District Native Reserve (UDNR) was negotiated, subverted or betrayed, and renegotiated during this time period, but also focuses on the role of M&#257;ori&nbsp;hap&#363;, ancestral descent groups and their leaders, including the political economic influence of extensive marriage alliances between them. The ethnohistorical approach developed here may be useful to other studies of governance, indigenous resistance, and reform, whether in New Zealand or elsewhere.

A Separate Authority (He Mana Motuhake), Volume II: The Crown’s Betrayal of the Tūhoe Māori Sanctuary in New Zealand, 1915–1926

In this book,&nbsp;social&nbsp;anthropologist&nbsp;Steven&nbsp;Webster provides&nbsp;an ethnohistory&nbsp;of sustainability among the indigenous Andean community of&nbsp;Hatun&nbsp;Q'ero since the 1960s. He first revisits his&nbsp;detailed&nbsp;ecological&nbsp;research&nbsp;among the remote Q'ero in the high Andes of Southern Peru in 1969-1970 and 1977. At that time, Q'ero was a community comprised of several hamlets in converging valleys based primarily on alpaca herding at about 4,300 meters, and composed of about 400 persons in about&nbsp;80&nbsp;families. He then relies on&nbsp;the few&nbsp;ethnographies by other anthropologists to document&nbsp;changes in Hatun&nbsp;Q'ero by 2020 ,&nbsp;spanning 1980-90s&nbsp;when&nbsp;the nation was immersed in agrarian reform followed by virtual civil war between Maoist guerrillas, the government, and the highland peasantry. Through all of these ideological&nbsp;and&nbsp;political-economic developments the sustainability of Q'ero as an integral ecological and social community as well as a&nbsp;famously Incaic cultural&nbsp;tradition becomes a&nbsp;global as well as national&nbsp;issue.&nbsp; &nbsp; This book argues that while the commercial expansion of ceremonial&nbsp;and&nbsp;shamanist tourism can be seen as extractivist&nbsp;similar&nbsp;to&nbsp;industrial mining, the assertive form of independence characteristic of the Q'eros&nbsp;appears to remain&nbsp;sustainable in the face of both these&nbsp;extractive threats. While the Q'ero community is internally reinforced by their reciprocal relationship with the same non-human forces these forms of extraction seek to exploit, they are externally reinforced by the global as well as national rise of indigeneity movements. Ironically, given the moral force developed in some aspects of shamanist tourism, it can even be argued that it supports environmental sustainability against climate change, globally as well as in Q'ero. This book analyzes the increasing importance of indigeneity in the national politics of Peru as well as the other Andean nations in the last few decades, but it remains to set this form of identity politics in its wider "intersectional" context of social class and ethnic conflict in the Andes.&nbsp;
