Summary

The South China Sea stands today as one of the most sensitive crossroads of the international system – a vital artery for global trade, a strategic reservoir of energy resources, and a pivotal space where economic interests, military power, and international law intersect and collide.
Through the insights of diplomats, scholars, and experts from Italy and the Philippines, this volume examines the economic, political, and strategic dimensions of the maritime disputes in the Indo-Pacific, revealing how the stakes reach far beyond regional boundaries. From China's military modernisation to the risks facing energy security, from the central role of UNCLOS to the growing engagement of European actors such as Italy, the book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of one of the most critical theatres of the twenty-first century.
A central truth emerges: the future of the South China Sea will serve as a litmus test for the international order. Upholding freedom of navigation, supporting international law, and fostering cooperation and stability are not merely regional interests, but shared global responsibilities. An essential resource for scholars, diplomats, analysts, and readers seeking to understand how economics, geopolitics, and law converge at the heart of the Indo-Pacific – and how maritime tensions may shape the prosperity of the world.

    Disrupt and push back against capitalism and white supremacy by connecting to the liberating power of rest, daydreaming, and naps as a foundation for healing and justice. Tricia Hersey, aka The Nap Bishop, encourages us to elevate rest as a form of resistance and a divine human right.What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine‑level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit.In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us.Rest Is Resistance is rooted in spiritual energy and centered in Black liberation, womanism, somatics, and Afrofuturism. With captivating storytelling and practical advice, all delivered in Hersey’s lyrical voice and informed by her deep experience in theology, activism, and performance art, Rest Is Resistance is a call to action, a battle cry, a field guide, and a manifesto for all of us who are sleep deprived, searching for justice, and longing to be liberated from the oppressive grip of Grind Culture.

    Wild Girls - How the Outdoors...

    Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
     
     
     
    This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.

    If your body still lives in the past even though your mind knows you're safe, then keep reading...
     
    
     
    You've tried talking about it. You've tried thinking your way through it. But trauma doesn't live in your thoughts—it lives in your nervous system.
     
    Your body is still keeping score, even when you're trying to move on.
     
    Traditional therapy asks you to understand your trauma. Polyvagal Theory teaches you to release it. Not through more talking, but through understanding the language your nervous system has been screaming in all along.
     
    This isn't about reliving your past. It's about rewiring your present.
     
    
     
    You'll discover:
    
    Why your body reacts before your mind can catch up
    How your vagus nerve controls your sense of safety
    The science behind why you freeze, flee, or fight
    How to shift from survival mode to thriving mode
    Why "just calm down" has never worked for you
    The missing piece in traditional trauma therapy
    
     
    Healing trauma isn't about being strong enough to push through it.
     
    It's about being wise enough to work with your body's natural systems. Your nervous system isn't broken—it's been protecting you. Now it's time to teach it that the danger has passed.
