  Patience is often regarded as a simple virtue, but it carries profound power in shaping our lives. It goes beyond just waiting for something to happen. True patience is the ability to endure the waiting process with grace, calm, and peace of mind. It allows us to maintain focus on our long-term goals while navigating the uncertainties of life. In today’s fast-paced world, where instant gratification has become the norm, patience has become an increasingly rare but invaluable skill. Learning to practice patience empowers us to take a step back, remain composed, and make decisions with clarity, even in the face of adversity. 
  Patience serves as a bridge between desire and fulfillment. It gives us the resilience to endure the waiting period without losing sight of what we’re striving for. Whether we’re waiting for a promotion, healing from an injury, or working toward personal growth, patience allows us to trust that things are unfolding in the right timing. It is often in the waiting process that we learn the most valuable lessons. We discover new strengths, build resilience, and deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 
  In scientific terms, patience is closely linked to emotional regulation. Studies have shown that those who practice patience tend to experience less stress and anxiety, as they are better able to cope with frustration and setbacks. Patience doesn’t mean passively sitting by and waiting for things to happen; it involves active participation in the process, understanding that timing plays a critical role in achieving our goals. It teaches us to manage our impulses, temper our expectations, and stay grounded during difficult moments.

  "So what are you? Go back where you belong!" 
   
   
   
  Majority white American culture has historically marginalized people of color, who at times feel invisible and alienated and at other times are traumatized by oppression and public discrimination. This reality leads to a particular kind of aloneness: ethnic and racial loneliness. 
   
   
   
  An Indian American immigrant who grew up in white Southern culture, Prasanta Verma names and sheds light on the realities of ethnic loneliness. She unpacks the exhausting effects of cultural isolation, the dynamics of marginalization, and the weight of being other. In the midst of disconnection and erasure, she points to the longing to belong, the need to share our stories, and the hope of finding safe friendships and community. Our places of exile can become places where we find belonging—to ourselves, to others, and to God.

  As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.
  
  Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.

  Scottish Uprisings The: The...

  From their very beginnings, England and Scotland fought each other. Emerging as unified nations from the early medieval period, their shared border and inter-related aristocracy created endless causes of conflict, from local raiders known as border reivers to full blown wars between their monarchies. Every century from the 11th to the 16th was colored by such violence, and there were periods when not a decade went by without some act of violence marring the peace. 
  	Out of all of this, the most bitterly remembered conflict is Edward I's invasion during the late 13th century. After Edward’s death, the English were eventually beaten back at the famous Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and thus the early 14th century was a period featuring some of Scotland's greatest national heroes, including William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. It still resonates in the Scottish national memory, all the more so following its memorable but wildly inaccurate depiction in the 1995 film Braveheart, which had Scottish audiences cheering in cinemas. William Wallace is one of the most famous freedom fighters in history, and over 700 years after his death he is still remembered as Scotland’s beloved hero. But while the movie Braveheart helped make him a household name, and he is commemorated across Scotland as a natural leader and a loyal son of his homeland, he is also “the most mysterious of the leaders of the Scottish resistance to Edward I.” 
  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. That situation was one that would not have been possible without the Bishops’ Wars that preceded it.
