Sinopsis

"Thrones Abandoned" explores the intriguing phenomenon of royal abdication, examining why rulers voluntarily relinquish power. It challenges the notion that power is universally craved by analyzing the personal, political, and societal factors compelling monarchs to abdicate. The book delves into the motivations behind these decisions, such as personal crises or political pressures, and investigates the lasting effects on both the rulers and their former realms.

 
The book looks at how abdication highlights the intricate relationship between personal desires, political realities, and societal expectations. It emphasizes that these decisions are rarely, if ever, purely personal. For instance, a ruler might abdicate due to shifting social norms that challenge the legitimacy of the monarchy, or because of political instability threatening their reign. Through case studies and historical analysis, "Thrones Abandoned" provides a framework for understanding this complex historical phenomenon.

 
The book progresses thematically, beginning with the definition and historical prevalence of abdication. Subsequent chapters explore the motivations, analyze case studies, and examine the consequences. By emphasizing the agency of rulers in choosing to relinquish power, the book offers a unique perspective often overlooked in traditional narratives.

    Then They Came for Mine -...

    Black Americans' resilience during centuries of racially-motivated violence is beyond remarkable. But continuing to endure this harm allows for generations of trauma to fester and grow. Healing has to be the priority going forward.  
     
    For decades, Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts clung to her upbringing in the church, believing that racial reconciliation would come through faith and discipline, being respectable, and doing what's right. But when her cousin became the victim of a white supremacist's hateful rampage, her body and soul said, "no more."  
     
    The trauma of America's racial history, wreaking havoc on not only Black and Brown folk but white people too, in its own way, will not be alleviated without the will to face it head-on. We must name the dehumanization that plagues us, practice truth-telling and self-care, and make space for our vulnerability—to do the hard work of healing ourselves and our communities.  
     
    This book is written with that healing in mind. It unpacks how American systems and institutions enable the kind of violence we've seen connected to white supremacy and nationalism. It examines the way media has created a desensitization to violence against Black bodies. It outlines what it looks like for a person who claims to follow Jesus to be anti-racist. But more than anything, it offers a blueprint for healing and reconciliation that includes the necessity of white people untangling from an ancestral mandate of colonization and false notions of supremacy, and Black and Brown people reckoning with the impact of trauma and feeling free to grieve in whatever way grief shows up.

    We broke our new series on learning Italian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Italian.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Italian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Italian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Italian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Italian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Italian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
