Sinopsis

"Ancient Curses" explores the historical prevalence of curses across cultures, examining cursed objects, places, and figures. It delves into historical accounts, folklore, and mythology to understand how societies have perceived and feared malevolent forces throughout time. The book argues that beliefs in curses, though often seen as superstition, reflect a society's values, fears, and worldview. For example, the Hope Diamond's history is intertwined with tales of misfortune, illustrating the perceived power of cursed objects. The book progresses by categorizing curses, starting with cursed objects and moving to cursed places like battlefields associated with tragic events and then examining cursed figures such as the Kennedys. It connects these beliefs to fields like folklore studies and anthropology, providing a comprehensive view of how curses have shaped cultural history and belief. The approach contextualizes these beliefs within broader historical narratives, making it accessible to readers interested in history, mythology, and the supernatural.

Science for a Green New Deal -...

Eric A. Davidson

Since it was first proposed in the US House of Representatives, the Green New Deal has been hotly debated. The intent was not simply to fight climate change or address a specific environmental concern, but rather to tackle how climate change and other environmental challenges affect the economy, the vulnerable, and social justice—and vice versa. 
 
 
 
In Science for a Green New Deal, Eric Davidson dissects this legislative resolution. He also shows how green new deal thinking offers a framework for a convergence of the natural sciences, social science, economics, and community engagement to develop holistic policy solutions to the most pressing issues of our day. Davidson weaves the case for linkages among multiple global crises, including a pandemic that has reversed progress on fighting poverty and hunger, an acceleration of climate change, and a renewed awareness of profound social injustices highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement. 
 
 
 
Illustrating these points with his personal life experiences as a child growing up in Montana and as a famed researcher leading a large scientific society, Davidson relates these complex challenges to our everyday lives and decision-making. Science for a Green New Deal is a realistic and optimistic look at how we can attain a more sustainable, prosperous, and just future.

MS Lara Dato, LCPC Ruth...

Is your child a picky eater? Do they insist on having the same foods served over and over again? For many kids, picky eating is a sensory issue—whether it's the smell, taste, texture, or appearance of food. So, how can you help your child overcome these sensory sensitivities and ensure that they get the nourishment they need? 
 
 
 
Written by a pediatric occupational therapist with a specialty certification in feeding, eating, and swallowing, Raising Adventurous Eaters offers eight evidence-based sensory strategies to help kids foster a healthy relationship with food. You'll learn all about how picky eating can be caused by sensory processing differences, and find step-by-step strategies for dealing with each sense. By learning to lean into their senses, children will better understand what's going on in their bodies. This fosters an intuitive eating approach, teaching kids to listen to their body's hunger and fullness cues and respect and respond to those cues appropriately. 
 
 
 
Whether or not your child has a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder (SPD), or simply has sensory sensitivities when it comes to food, this book will help you set your child up for successful mealtimes, turning the most stressful time of the day into a time that your family can spend relaxing and bonding together around the table.
