Sinopse

Castles Razed examines the deliberate destruction of castles in Western Europe from the late medieval period through the early modern era, revealing how razing these structures served as a vital tool for political control and state formation.The book argues that castle ruins are not simply remnants of time, but active symbols of shifting power dynamics and challenges the romanticized view of castles by demonstrating how their destruction was a calculated effort to consolidate power and suppress dissent.One intriguing fact explored is how the rise of gunpowder warfare rendered these once-impregnable fortresses strategically obsolete, leading to their intentional dismantling.The book also investigates how these deliberate acts of castle destruction reshaped the physical landscape and historical memory, influencing architectural trends and national identity.

 
Focusing on the motives and methods behind the razing, the book explores key examples of castle demolitions, analyzing the political motivations, military tactics, and social consequences.The study progresses by first establishing the significance of castles, then diving into specific case studies of deliberate destruction, and finally examining the aftermath of this destruction on national identity and architectural trends.

In Their Names - The Untold...

Lenore Anderson

When twenty-six-year-old recent college graduate Aswad Thomas was days away from starting a professional basketball career in 2009, he was shot twice while buying juice at a convenience store. The trauma left him in excruciating pain, with mounting medical debt, and struggling to cope with deep anxiety and fear. That was the same year the national incarceration rate peaked. Yet, despite thousands of new tough-on-crime policies and billions of new dollars pumped into "justice," Aswad never received victim compensation, support, or even basic levels of concern. In the name of victims, justice bureaucracies ballooned while most victims remained on their own. 
 
 
 
In In Their Names, Lenore Anderson offers a close look at how the political call to help victims in the 1980s morphed into a demand for bigger bureaucracies and more incarceration, and cemented the long-standing chasm that exists between most victims and the justice system. She argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need, including addressing their trauma, which is a leading cause of subsequent violent crime. 
 
 
 
A solutions-oriented, paradigm-shifting book, In Their Names argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors.

The Way of Tenderness -...

Zenju Earthlyn Manuel

In The Way of Tenderness, Zen priest Zenju Earthlyn Manuel brings Buddhist philosophies of emptiness and appearance to bear on race, sexuality, and gender, using wisdom forged through personal experience and practice to rethink problems of identity and privilege.  
Manuel brings her own experiences as a lesbian black woman into conversation with Buddhism to square our ultimately empty nature with superficial perspectives of everyday life. Her hard-won insights reveal that dry wisdom alone is not sufficient to heal the wounds of the marginalized; an effective practice must embrace the tenderness found where conventional reality and emptiness intersect. Only warmth and compassion can cure hatred and heal the damage it wreaks within us.  
This is a book that will teach us all.
