Abstract: Publisher Summary
This chapter discusses cultural resources management (CRM) as an increasingly important part of the discipline of archaeology in the United States. It has been defined as “the application of management skills, such as, planning, organizing, directing, controlling, and evaluating, to achieve goals set through the political process to preserve important aspects of cultural heritage for the benefit of the American people”. The management of cultural resources is carried out by federal, state, and local agencies. In practice, CRM has focused principally on prehistoric and historic archaeological resources and the study and management thereof. Herein, that focus is maintained, with some discussion of the relationships between archaeology and other areas of historic preservation. In addition, the chapter reviews the field of CRM, specifically the following areas: (a) the development of CRM as a field of endeavor, especially during the 1970s; (b) the legal context of CRM and the derivative implications for its practice; (c) the major management functions of CRM; and (d) some concerns for the future of the field held by professionals who are linked to it in various ways.

TL;DR: The essence of the humanities is a spirit or an attitude toward humanity as discussed by the authors, which is a way of expressing the individual as autonomous and at the same time bound, in the ligatures of language and history, to humankind across time and throughout the world.
Abstract: The essence of the humanities is a spirit or an attitude toward humanity. They show how the individual is autonomous and at the same time bound, in the ligatures of language and history, to humankind across time and throughout the world. The humanities are an important measure of the values and aspirations of any society. Intensity and breadth in the perception of life and power and richness in works of the imagination betoken a people alive as moral and aesthetic beings, citizens in the fullest sense. They base their education on sustaining principles of personal enrichment and civic responsibility. They are sensitive to beauty and aware of their cultural heritage. They can approach questions of value, no matter how complex, with intelligence and goodwill. They can use their scientific and technical achievements responsibly because they see the connections among science, technology, and humanity.1

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the impact of the development program on the archaeological resources of the Jequetepeque Valley on Peru's north coast, while at the same time raising broader issues relevant to the problems of CRM and economic development in the Third World in general.
Abstract: Cultural resource management as practiced in the United States has been suggested by some archaeologists as a suitable model for emulation by less-developed countries of the world. Utilizing the example provided by a major water control project planned for the Jequetepeque Valley on Peru's north coast, this paper focuses on the impact of the development program on the archaeological resources of the region, while at the same time raising a number of broader issues relevant to the problems of CRM and economic development in the Third World in general. It is concluded that, for the most part, comprehensive CRM programs are an unattainable luxury for governments faced with the tasks of alleviating poverty, stimulating food production, and delivering sufficient health care to their people, and that the cultural heritage of many developing nations will be sacrificed in the attempt to achieve economic well-being. A number of suggestions for dealing with this problem are presented for the benefit of archaeologis...

TL;DR: In this article, African working women are discussed in terms of their historical and contemporary working contexts in comparison with those of Black American working women, and the results indicate a number of future research directions in the areas of alternative family models, self-image, increased economic independence, education and training.
Abstract: Black American women and African women share a common cultural heritage, including a long tradition of working. In this paper, African working women are discussed in terms of their historical and contemporary working contexts in comparison with those of Black American working women. Observations of and interviews with seven working women were conducted in three West African countries.

Abstract: that give extensive treatment to the various ethnic groups, but one Amer ican group which has been absent from these sources is the French speaking Acadian community, more commonly known as the "Cajuns." Approximately 900,000 in number, this American minority is the largest French-speaking group in the United States. They are primarily the des cendents of the Acadians from Nova Scotia, and the majority are located in the rural areas of Southwest Louisiana. A colorful and accurate history of the Acadians can be found in a recent book by William Faulkner Rushton (1979). Like many minority students, Cajun children often find themselves with a teacher who not only is unfamiliar with their language, but knows little of their cultural heritage, customs, and background. One out-of-state teacher who found herself in a classroom full of Cajun students commented, "I can't understand what they're saying, and besides, what's a 'Cajun'?" Faced with a complex language which includes many non standard uses as well as French
