  Love Our Cities operates from a simple idea: come alongside those who want to make a difference in their cities so they can come alongside individuals in their communities to make things better.  Founding members of the nonprofit organization Love Our Cities, Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung have seen how a city-wide volunteer day can catalyze community improvement—by engaging individuals with the city they inhabit. Each chapter of Love Our Cities addresses their method behind the madness, why it works, and the practical next steps that anyone can use to kick off city-wide volunteer efforts.  Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung understand that the best way to support a community is to meet the specific needs of that area. By using their past experiences investing in Modesto and other cities, they provide a clear, actionable approach to enact city-wide change. Their volunteer days have been uniquely successful in connecting ongoing initiatives, building networks, and growing community buy-in for programs and organizations already on the ground.  Their message in Love Our Cities is broken into four parts:  Part One depicts their journey from the initial Love Modesto efforts in 2009 to the 100-some cities participating in their Love Our Cities network in 2020  Part Two explains at the elements that are necessary to know prior to any community engagement, in order to create a solid foundation for long-term success  Part Three examines the "nuts and bolts" of running a city-wide volunteer day  Part Four takes it to the next level—describing how successful city-wide volunteer days have changed the game and outlining what a year-round city movement might look like  By shining a spotlight on the cities they've partnered with over the years, Jeff Pishney and Eric Jung hope that their community-minded approach in Love Our Cities encourages readers to dream about their own city's potential—and how they can make a difference.

  The unconscious controls nearly all of our behavioral patterns, daily decisions, and life-changing choices, yet we are almost unaware of its existence and functions. In Subliminal (2012), scientist Leonard Mlodinow aims to explain how the unconscious mind actually functions and guides us in our daily life. Mlodinow firmly believes that you must grasp the influence of the subliminal world concealed within each of us if you truly want to understand the social world, yourself, and others.

  Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.

  Cage Eleven - Prison Writings...

  Gerry Adams

  • 0

  Long before he became President of Sinn Féin, Gerry Adams was a civil rights activist who took part in sit-ins, marches and protests in Northern Ireland. Along with hundreds of other men, Adams was interned on the Maidstone prison ship and in Long Kesh prison – without charge or trial – during the 1970s for his political activities. Women were interned also, in Armagh Women's Prison. Cage Eleven is his own account – sometimes passionate, often humorous – of life in Long Kesh. Written while Adams was a prisoner, the pieces were smuggled out for publication.
  This updated edition includes a new introduction and sketches drawn in Cage Eleven by another prisoner at the time, Danny Devenny.
  'Offers a unique insight into … the experience of internment … an unrivalled representation of the resilience and humour that were as much a part of the life of the political prisoner as the adherence to a set of political ideals.' Irish Herald

  The Shortest History of Music -...

  No art form is as widely discussed—or as readily available—as music. With the click of just a few buttons, modern humans can decide what they think of the brand-new Beyoncé just as quickly as they can form opinions on Brahms or the Beatles or Bob Dylan. But things weren't always this way. In this brisk, breakneck history, award-winning musician and broadcaster Andrew Ford dives into the constant evolutions and reinventions that have led to the popularity and accessibility of modern music. Ford explores: 
   
   
   
  ● Why playing history's earliest example of notated music—clay tablets from 1400 BCE Syria—doesn't produce a consistent sound 
   
   
   
  ● How colonization and the slave trade led to one region in West Africa having an unparalleled influence on world music 
   
   
   
  ● How clerical and royal support allowed early composers to invent the symphony 
   
   
   
  ● What leads humans to make music in the first place—and why music plays such a massive role in our culture. 
   
   
   
  The Shortest History of Music takes us on a lively tour through several thousands of years of music history, tracing our relationship with this essential art and allowing us to freshly appreciate and understand music today.
