Country House Library

Häftad, Engelska, 2019

Beginning with new evidence that cites the presence of books in Roman villas and concluding with present day vicissitudes of collecting, this generously illustrated book presents a complete survey of British and Irish country house libraries. Replete with engaging anecdotes about owners and librarians, the book features fascinating information on acquisition bordering on obsession, the process of designing library architecture, and the care (and neglect) of collections. The author also disputes the notion that these libraries were merely for show, arguing that many of them were profoundly scholarly, assembled with meticulous care, and frequently used for intellectual pursuits. For those who love books and the libraries in which they are collected and stored, The Country House Library is an essential volume to own. Published in association with the National Trust
Recapturing Democracy
Neoliberalization and the Struggle for Alternative Urban Futures

Recapturing Democracy is a short yet synoptic introduction to urban democracy in our era of political neoliberalism and economic globalization. Combining an original argument with a number of case studies, Mark Purcell explores the condition of democracy in contemporary Western cities. Whereas many scholars focus on what Purcell calls "procedural democracy" – i.e., electoral politics and access to it – he instead assesses "substantive democracy." By this he means the people’s ability to have some say over issues of social justice, material well being, and economic equality. Neoliberalism, which advocates a diminished role for the state and increasing power for mobile capital, has diminished substantive democracy in recent times, he argues. He looks at case studies where this has occurred and at others that show how neoliberalism can be resisted in the name of substantive democracy. Ultimately, he utilizes Henri Lefebvre’s notion of "the right to the city," which encompasses substantive as well as procedural democracy for ordinary urban citizens.

Discovering Democracy in the Work of Frantz Fanon

This book offers a creative re-reading of Frantz Fanon as an affirmative proponent of radical democracy. It is the discovery of a Fanon who is occupied with creation, not destruction, and who urges people to retain their power and use it to manage their lives together. This aspect of Fanon is usually overlooked, lost in a sea of anti-colonial and anti-racist readings. This book begins the project of recovering the desire for democracy in Fanon as a crucial contribution to social thought and action in the face of democratic erosion today. It proposes democracy as a new, creative way forward. But it insists that we understand democracy radically, as a way of life in which we do not destroy what we are against. Instead, we create, together, new democratic lives in common. As such, this book will be an important resource not only for researchers, students, and instructors in cultural and postcolonial studies but also for social and political theory, contemporary sociology, geography, politics, and race and ethnicity studies.

After over 25 years of working with people, and attempting to help them, as a psychotherapist, trainer, and teacher, I have not only walked through the joys and struggles of my own life experiences, and those of family and friends, but I have had the benefits and privilege of learning and living vicariously, while listening to untold hours with literally thousands of clients during their own struggling and searching. I have been encouraged by and privileged to watch the healing, growth, and transcendence from lifes struggles of thousands of people, and I have felt pain and sadness in witnessing the deterioration, resistance and self-destruction of countless others. I have come to believe that the primary determining factor of whether one experiences transcendence or deterioration is a determined willingness to go through the struggles, and to develop an attitude: that looks courageously into the eye of the storm, and says assuredly: You will not break me
These poems are captured moments of my own experiences, and reflections on the journeys of others, as we have separately and together enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, while sometimes weathering the storms in between. May these poems help you better understand yourself and your fellow travelers, and no matter how difficult or deep your own abyss of darkness, may you always find Hope!
THE RHYTHM OF LIFE
Today could not have been Without yesterday''s haunting wind,Blowing by and changing my life,Stirring up realities and other sundry strife.
The happenings of this hourWould rightfully have no power,Without the joys and pains of past,Shaping and creating me at last.
Had even one conversation been altered,Or one person or event faltered,This moment in which I now breatheWould not now be, as is, conceived.
There is a Great Choreographer, somewhere, someplace,Who orchestrates my moves and your every pace,Matching our steps in infinite, perfect time;Then, this dance, once confusing starts to rhyme...

Thirty hands-on lessons provide students opportunities to learn and practice self-regulation strategies.Students today face many challenges that did not exist a generation or two ago, and rates of emotional disorders (including anxiety and depression) have increased steadily over the years. Students must also manage an overwhelming amount of information. With today’s reliance on technology and social media, they have fewer opportunities to develop effective self-regulation strategies and interpersonal and stress management skills. Helping students understand their emotions and behavior when they’re young will set them on a path to being successful learners and empathetic people throughout their lives. With thirty easy-to-implement, skill-based lessons and activities, Teaching Kids to Pause, Cope, and Connect provides educators with strategies to help students: manage and reduce their anxiety with healthy coping skillsunderstand and regulate physical responses to stressseparate emotions from actionsrespond mindfully (rather than impulsively) to difficult situationsimprove social skills, social awareness, and self-regulationdevelop empathy and compassionDigital content includes reproducible student handouts that accompany each lesson, plus six bonus lessons.
