Beschreibung

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.

    INSIDE THE CRIMINAL 'S MINDHave you ever questioned how a devoted mother could deliberately and coldly take the life of her own child in the bathtub—the very child for whom she had just prepared breakfast? What dark forces could have been at work within her mind at that moment? How did such thoughts take hold? Were they embedded deep within her psyche long before the act?What compels individuals to cross the most sacred moral boundaries? What hidden patterns emerge within their minds? What common traits do they share?For decades, scholars and scientists have sought to determine whether criminal behavior is the product of genetic inheritance or the consequence of environmental and social influences.In this compelling examination of the criminal psyche, Inside the Criminal’s Mind ventures beyond the headlines, delving into the neurological and psychological forces that drive some of history’s most notorious offenders—such as Andrea Yates, Jeffrey Epstein, and John Wayne Gacy. This work dissects the minds of those who defy humanity’s most fundamental moral codes. Through the advanced study of neuroscience and psychology, we expose the structural anomalies and chemical imbalances within the brain that may underlie their actions. Pioneering research on the role of genetics—initiated by Cesare Lombroso in the late 19th century—laid the foundation for understanding how inherited traits might predispose individuals to criminal behavior and how such tendencies might one day be identified, or even prevented.Inside the Criminal’s Mind offers clear, research-based insights into these unsettling questions. Within these pages, you may come to realize that the seemingly ordinary neighbor next door is far more complex—and perhaps far more dangerous—than you ever imagined.

    The year 1968 was arguably the most significant year of the war. It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 
     
     
     
    1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships, and ARA was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. 
     
     
     
    It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company—it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

    From Chaos to Connection is a practical, compassionate, thought-provoking call to action for parents. It’s time to let go of the old, outdated lessons we’ve learned about raising our children and dealing with their emotions and behaviour, and embrace the new paradigm. 
    Emotional intelligence is now recognised by experts and educators across the world as a non-negotiable set of skills for a successful life, no matter our age or lifestyle. Emotionally intelligent kids are more confident, empathetic, and resilient. They also know how to handle big emotions such as anger, frustration, fear and anxiety - without constantly blowing up or melting down. The research is clear, parenting with emotional intelligence is the way forward. 
    In her ground-breaking book, Stephanie describes candid stories of her own family as well as the clients she works with. She actively throws out the unhelpful and even damaging lessons we’ve learned about emotions, such as that they are silly, childish, embarrassing and a sign of weakness. The emotionally intelligent way of parenting discards the outdated methods with which many of us were raised (bribes, threats and punishments) and replaces them with kindness, empathy and compassionate discipline. 
    Stephanie offers a fresh approach to parenting that shows how an understanding of emotions, child development and the neuroscience of behaviour enables parents to ‘crack the code’ of joyful parenting. Put simply, emotionally intelligent parenting invites a lot less drama and a lot more love into the home. 
    With a handle on child development and a deeper understanding of emotions, parents quickly become able to connect with their children and gain their cooperation more smoothly. Get ready for compassionate nudges, pearls of wisdom, and practical strategies that will help you create your own roadmap for raising emotionally intelligent kids.

    In A NATION OF SHEEP, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano frankly discusses how the federal government has circumvented the Constitution and is systematically dismantling the rights and freedoms that are the foundation of American democracy.  He challenges Americans to recognize that they are being led down a very dangerous path and that the cost of following without challenge is the loss of the basic freedoms that facilitate our pursuit of happiness and that define us as a nation.Judge Napolitano reminds readers what America is all about, that the purpose of government is to protect freedom, and freedom is the ability to follow your own free will and not the will of government bureaucrats.  He asks the simple question, which are YOU, a sheep or a wolf?  Do you blindly follow behind where you are led, or do you challenge the government at every pass, forcing it to make decisions that will protect our freedoms? 
    Judge Napolitano asks the questions that no one else will, challenging readers to rethink why they are blindly following a government that has only its own interests in mind.  He asks:Why is the government using the war on terror as an excuse to sidestep the Constitution?Why are Americans not challenging and questioning the government as it continues to limit more and more of our freedoms?What part of "Congress shall make no law..." does the government not understand when it criminalizes speech?Whatever happened to our inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that are proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed by the Constitution, yet ignored by the governments elected to protect them?Why does every public office holder swear allegiance to the Constitution, yet very few follow it?Don't we have rights that are guaranteed and cannot be taken from us?
