Beschreibung

In "A Heroine of 1812," Amy Ella Blanchard crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines the themes of bravery, patriotism, and the complexities of female agency during a tumultuous period in American history. Set against the backdrop of the War of 1812, the novel follows its spirited protagonist as she navigates her role within a society that often relegates women to the domestic sphere. Blanchard's literary style is marked by rich, descriptive prose that evokes the era's atmosphere and a keen psychological insight that lends depth to her characters, making them resonate with contemporary readers. The historical context serves not only to educate but also to inspire, as the heroine embodies resilience and courage in her quest for identity and purpose amidst chaos. Amy Ella Blanchard was a progressive voice in early 20th-century literature, known for her advocacy of women's rights and her rich storytelling that highlighted female protagonists. Growing up during a time of intense social change and literary renaissance, Blanchard drew upon both personal and historical influences. Her experiences and extensive research into women's roles during the War of 1812 surely informed her nuanced portrayal of the trials and triumphs that shaped not only her heroine but women of the era at large. "A Heroine of 1812" is a must-read for those who appreciate historical fiction that brings female narratives to the forefront. Blanchard's insightful exploration of a woman's fight for agency in a male-dominated society will resonate with readers seeking both entertainment and a deeper understanding of the historical complexities surrounding gender and warfare. Engaging and educational, this novel invites readers to reflect on the past while recognizing the enduring spirit of women who have shaped history.

    What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had been the storytellers? 
    Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence. 
    Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. It’s about the stories we still blindly cling to, and the ones that cling to us: the origin tales, the guiding myths, the religious parables, the literature and films and fairy tales passed down through the centuries about women and men, power and war, sex and love, and the values we live by.  Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity. We have outgrown so many of them, and still they endure. This book is about what happens when women are the storytellers too—when we speak from our authentic voices, when we flex our values, when we become protagonists in the tales we tell about what it means to be human. 
    Lesser has walked two main paths in her life—the spiritual path and the feminist one—paths that sometimes cross but sometimes feel at cross-purposes. Cassandra Speaks is her extraordinary merging of the two. The bestselling author of Broken Open and Marrow, Lesser is a beloved spiritual writer, as well as a leading feminist thinker. In this book she gives equal voice to the cool water of her meditative self and the fire of her feminist self. With her trademark gifts of both humor and insight, she offers a vision that transcends the either/or ideologies on both sides of the gender debate. 
    Brilliantly structured into three distinct parts, Part One explores how history is carried forward through the stories a culture tells and values, and what we can do to balance the scales. Part Two looks at women and power and expands what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And Part Three offers “A Toolbox for Inner Strength.” Lesser argues that change in the culture starts with inner change, and that no one—woman or man—is immune to the corrupting influence of power. She provides inner tools to help us be both strong-willed and kind-hearted. 
    Cassandra Speaks is a beautifully balanced synthesis of storytelling, memoir, and cultural observation. Women, men and all people will find themselves in the pages of this book, and will come away strengthened, opened, and ready to work together to create a better world for all people.

    Psychological trauma refers to the emotional, mental, and psychological injury that results from an overwhelming or distressing event. Unlike physical trauma, which can often be seen and treated directly, psychological trauma is more subtle, affecting the mind and emotions in profound ways. It can arise from various experiences, such as accidents, violence, abuse, loss, or even long-term stressors. The effects of trauma are far-reaching and can impact an individual’s life for many years, manifesting in different forms depending on the person’s resilience, support system, and coping mechanisms. 
    At its core, trauma can alter an individual's perception of the world, themselves, and their relationships. It often creates a sense of helplessness, loss of control, and an inability to feel safe or secure. The distress from trauma can be so severe that it leads to lasting mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other emotional disorders. Understanding the nature of psychological trauma involves recognizing how these experiences affect the brain and the body. Trauma is not merely an emotional reaction; it is a complex response involving neurological, biological, and psychological processes. The brain’s response to trauma can involve changes in brain structures and functions, particularly in areas like the amygdala (responsible for processing emotions) and the hippocampus (which processes memories). These changes can result in heightened fear responses, emotional instability, and difficulty processing memories related to the traumatic event. 
    Furthermore, trauma is often misunderstood or underestimated due to the invisible nature of its impact. While a broken bone is easily visible and can be treated, the effects of trauma are not always immediately apparent.

    It has become conventional wisdom that America and China are running a "superpower marathon." Yet Hal Brands and Michael Beckley pose a counterintuitive question: What if the sharpest phase of that competition is more like a decade-long sprint? 
     
     
     
    The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the twenty-first century. But both history and China's current trajectory suggest that this rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s. 
     
     
     
    China is at a perilous moment: strong enough to violently challenge the existing order, yet losing confidence that time is on its side. Witness its aggression toward Taiwan, its record-breaking military buildup, and its efforts to dominate the critical technologies that will shape the world's future. 
     
     
     
    The Chinese challenge will most likely prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believe—but during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real. America, Brands and Beckley argue, will still need a sustainable approach to winning a protracted global competition.

    Candidates are the literal "face" of political parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as "party genes" and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens up new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on a new database of 200,000 electoral candidates from over sixty elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. Allan Sikk and Philipp Köker offer a series of methodological and conceptual advances for the measurement of candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change; the resulting analyses make a significant contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change.

    In this profoundly useful work, Janet Patti and Robin Stern make the case for social-emotional learning (SEL) as part of a critical skill set for K–12 school leaders, and they offer coaching on how to integrate emotional intelligence into leadership practices. Patti and Stern draw on recent research from psychology and education, as well as their combined forty years of experience in the fields of SEL and leadership training, to highlight the many benefits of SEL-focused professional development for superintendents, principals, and aspiring school leaders. They also give listeners the tools to develop their own SEL skills. 
     
     
     
    Emotional Intelligence for School Leaders outlines key SEL skills, from mindfulness and self-management to relationship building and conflict resolution, and details how each can be applied in a leadership context. Case studies of a variety of successful educational leaders who employ positive psychology in their work illustrate the strategies they used to cultivate and apply their own SEL skills. 
     
     
     
    This encouraging book underscores how teams that lead with self-awareness and empathy can promote well-being, foster resilience, and prevent burnout among educators and ultimately increase equity in the education system.
