Summary

Historic Proverbs Explored examines how proverbs encapsulate enduring wisdom, tracing their origins and relevance across cultures. The book explores fundamental truths about human nature and society through these concise sayings. Proverbs, often originating from diverse locations, surprisingly reflect shared human experiences, such as love and adversity. Furthermore, these sayings play a crucial role in transmitting cultural values and beliefs across generations, acting as a window into the past. The book argues that proverbs are living repositories of collective wisdom that continue to offer guidance.

 
Structured in three sections, it first introduces proverbs and their significance. The second section delves into thematic categories like family and morality, analyzing their historical context and cultural variations. Finally, the book consolidates its findings, highlighting common threads across cultures and demonstrating their relevance in the 21st century, using practical examples to illustrate their real-world application. By understanding the historical and cultural context, readers gain a deeper appreciation of their enduring relevance.

    In the Company of Radical Women...

    In the Company of Radical Women Writers rediscovers the political commitments and passionate advocacy of seven writers who as young women turned to communism around the Great Depression and, over decades of national crisis, spoke to issues of labor, land, and love in ways that provide thought-provoking guidance for today. Rosemary Hennessy spotlights the courageous lives of women who confronted similar challenges to those we still face: exhausting and unfair labor practices, unrelenting racial injustice, and environmental devastation. 
     
     
     
    As Hennessy shows, the documentary journalism and creative and biographical writings of Marvel Cooke, Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Alice Childress, Josephine Herbst, Meridel Le Sueur, and Muriel Rukeyser recognized that life is sustained across a web of dependencies that we each have a duty to maintain. Their work brought into sharp focus the value and dignity of Black women's domestic work, confronted the destructive myths of land exploitation and white supremacy, and explored ways of knowing attuned to a life-giving erotic energy that spans bodies and relations. In doing so, they expanded the scope of American communism. 
     
     
     
    In the Company of Radical Women Writers reveals their groundbreaking reconceptions of the political and provides bracing inspiration in the ongoing fight for justice.

    Black Brown Bruised - How...

    Drawing on narratives from hundreds of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous individuals, Ebony Omotola McGee examines the experiences of underrepresented racially minoritized students and faculty members who have succeeded in STEM. 
     
     
     
    Black, Brown, Bruised reveals the challenges that underrepresented racially minoritized students confront in order to succeed in these exclusive, usually all-White, academic and professional realms. The book provides searing accounts of racism inscribed on campus, in the lab, and on the job, and portrays learning and work environments as arenas rife with racial stereotyping, conscious and unconscious bias, and micro-aggressions. As a result, many students experience the effects of a racial battle fatigue—physical and mental exhaustion borne of their hostile learning and work environments—leading them to abandon STEM fields entirely. 
     
     
     
    McGee offers policies and practices that must be implemented to ensure that STEM education and employment become more inclusive including internships, mentoring opportunities, and curricular offerings. Such structural changes are imperative if we are to reverse the negative effects of racialized STEM and unlock the potential of all students to drive technological innovation and power the economy.

    Left for Dead - Shipwreck...

    In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin—“one of today’s finest writers about ships and the  
    sea” (American Heritage)—tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter  
    between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British  
    warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. 
    Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors  
    and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard,  
    abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a  
    half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the  
    seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly  
    desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal—an alltoo-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 
    A tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout— 
    involving greed, lying, bullying, a hostile takeover, stellar leadership, ingenuity,  
    severe privation, endurance, banishment, the great value of a dog, the birth of a  
    baby, a perilous thousand-mile open-ocean journey in a seventeen-foot boat, an  
    improbable rescue mission, and legal battles over a dubious and disgraceful  
    wartime prize—Left for Dead shows individuals in wartime under great duress  
    acting both nobly and atrociously, and offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era  
    in American maritime history. 
    “An absorbing adventure that explores the dark shadows of instinct and self-preservation, and the hardships and stress that stretch the bonds of humanity.  
    Fascinating reading.”—Stephen R. Bown, author of Island of the Blue Foxes:  
    Disaster and Triumph on the World’s Greatest Scientific Expedition
