****************
United Nations Day
October 24, 2011
UN Day marks the anniversary of the entry into force in 1945 of the UN
Charter. With the ratification of this founding document by the majority of
its signatories, including the five permanent members of the Security
Council, the United Nations officially came into being.
24 October has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. In 1971,
the United Nations General Assembly recommended that the day be observed by
Member States as a public holiday.

Sharing a World of Difference
The Earth's linguistic, cultural and biological diversity
We live in a world threatened by the loss of one of humanity's greatest
treasures - its linguistic heritage. But few realize that bound up with the
loss of language is loss of knowledge about our environment. This book
documents the complex interrelationships between the Earth's linguistic,
cultural and biological diversity - what is known as its biocultural
diversity. It offers a general introduction to a complex field and outlines
some of the key challenges facing sustainable development from cultural and
educational perspectives.
