Sinossi

Windows Shattered explores the surprising role of broken windows as potent symbols in political history and social upheaval. It argues that these acts of destruction aren't mere vandalism but visual representations of pivotal moments. The book traces the history of glass from a luxury item to a common building material to demonstrate how its presence reflects societal structures and economic inequalities.

 
The book analyzes how shattered windows have visually represented revolutionary fervor, such as during the storming of the Bastille, and how they've become a visual language of protest and resistance, like the suffragettes' actions. It examines specific events chronologically and thematically, drawing from historical archives, news reports, personal accounts, and visual culture, offering a fresh perspective on social change by focusing on the symbolic meaning behind broken windows.

 
Windows Shattered progresses from establishing historical context to analyzing significant events where shattered windows played a crucial role, and finally, to examining the aftermath and long-term impact of these symbolic acts. It also addresses the debate surrounding the ethics of violent protest, providing a balanced account of the complex relationship between destruction, resistance, and social progress.

    A guide to your spiritual journey of transformation using the Enneagram.   “The Enneagram of the Soul invites us on a journey of profound self-discovery.” —from the foreword by Russ Hudson, bestselling coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram  The Enneagram of the Soul is inspired by over two decades of inner and outer work with the Enneagram by leading expert Nhien Vuong. Nhien provides a path to wholeness for the self, enabling the reader to be steered gently yet firmly away from the trap of solely identifying with their personality type, so they can live more fully from their divine nature.   This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 shares nine Enneagram-informed principles that guide one’s journey of transformation using the Enneagram, nine contemplative practices to propel and support the transformational process, and nine prayers to lend heart to the journey. Part 2 offers forty activations, which consist of very brief questions, reminders, or practices on forty different themes customized for each of the nine Enneagram personality types. When we begin to access the wholeness of all nine Enneagram energies working in concert, we experience a greater sense of inner peace, purpose, and fulfillment.   “An important and uniquely useful contribution to the Enneagram literature in that she provides a pathway for the types, built around practices and principles.” —Beatrice Chestnut, author of The Enneagram Guide to Waking Up
