  What if you could reach the most innocent part of yourself and treat that essential being with kindness? Author Natasha Levinger teaches how to locate this inner child, get to know them, and parent this most vulnerable part of yourself so that you can self-soothe even when the world around you is chaotic. By eliminating false personal narratives and creating a nurturing inner voice, you can heal past traumas and live in the present with understanding and grace. Levinger investigates crucial questions, such as: 
   
   
   
  ● How can dysfunction from our caregivers affect us? 
   
   
   
  ● How and in what way can we feel loved and regulate our nervous system? 
   
   
   
  ● How can we access our higher self through chakra-based meditation, then use that protective force to communicate with our inner child? 
   
   
   
  Levinger is the perfect guide on this journey, providing plenty of useful exercises, strategies, and journal prompts along the way.

  For over 60 million people, work in America has been a story of declining wages, insecurity, and unsafe conditions, especially amid the coronavirus epidemic. This new and troubling reality has galvanized media and policymakers, but all the while a different and little-known story of rebirth and struggle has percolated just below the surface. 
   
   
   
  On the Job is the first account of a new kind of labor movement, one that is happening locally, quietly, and among our country's most vulnerable—but essential—workers. Noted public health expert Celeste Monforton and award-winning journalist Jane M. Von Bergen crisscrossed the country, speaking with workers of all backgrounds and uncovering the stories of hundreds of new, worker-led organizations (often simply called worker centers) that have successfully achieved higher wages, safer working conditions, and on-the-job dignity for their members. 
   
   
   
  On the Job describes ordinary people finding their voice and challenging power: from housekeepers in Chicago and Houston; to poultry workers in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Springdale, Arkansas; and construction workers across the state of Texas. An inspiring book for dark times, On the Job reveals that labor activism is actually alive and growing—and holds the key to a different future for all working people.

  This Very Short Introduction brings together a wide range of narratives of slavery across a broad historical period to understand how Black people—enslaved and not-enslaved—have experienced and imagined slavery. It also investigates how slavery's long reach and afterlife has continued to shape Black life in the twenty-first century. By giving attention to the narratives produced during the last two hundred plus years, this volume examines American chattel slavery as a specific historical period that legally ended in 1865, and yet recognizes its impacts, effects, and significance as extending into the twenty-first century. Slave narratives tie the life of slavery its abolition with its afterlife and the reconfigurations that followed—Black Codes, Jim Crow segregation, and many other forms of disenfranchisement.Robert J. Patterson examines so-called "traditional" slave narratives alongside writings from non-enslaved Black people in the nineteenth century, the imaginative works of twentieth century fiction, and twenty-first century cinema to create a compelling and informative introduction to the long historical arc of slavery woven into the cultural and political fabric of America.

  Master Your Patience : A...

  Preface by the Monk Coen. ”In this book, Pedro Costa makes an important analysis - an anamnesis of altered states of consciousness, and gives us guidelines, recipes, suggestions so that we can perceive our moods and develop the ability to deal with them. We will need patience a lot - in order to have physical, mental and social health. 
  We can identify the enemies of patience. Not only we can, but we should. Let us define them as the main causes of our daily unrest. First, the people. Second, time. Third, the situations. The fourth can be understood as the union of the first three: chaos, or ”people with no time in difficult situations”. Normally, when we lose patience completely we fall into this last stage of impatience. It`s this combination of factors that disturbs our peace. In this book, we describe a method so you always remember the ”good allies” of patience. A way to improve your life. It`s the ”4S” rule, a shortcut to memorizing it. Thus, the four allies of patience are: Silence, Sight, Smile and Sure. Easy, right? We`ll go into detail about this method and each of the four allies as well as the enemies of a complete change to a better life. We must also observe that the more we focus on the present, the more likely we are to find the allies of patience. The authors P. COSTA and G. COSTA bring a two-fold vision from different areas. First a broad approach of patience by medical science, linked to mindfulness, and on the other hand an approach by anthropology, closely related to the totality of the human being, including all of its dimensions.

  No Place for Mercy

  Where empire rose, mercy fell. 
  In No Place for Mercy, ancient Rome is unmasked—not as the marble-clad cradle of civilization, but as a brutal stage where sex, violence, and power played their most calculated roles. With a piercing lens, this provocative and deeply researched work reveals how sexual violence was not only a consequence of conquest but a deliberate tool of political manipulation and imperial propaganda. 
  From the mythologized Rape of the Sabine Women to the whispered scandals of imperial courts, No Place for Mercy exposes how Rome’s leaders wielded control over bodies as a means to control the narrative, transforming victims into symbols and violence into spectacle. 
  Drawing from primary sources, inscriptions, and visual art, this groundbreaking book explores how Roman elites exploited sexual violence to define citizenship, masculinity, and moral order. It challenges romanticized visions of antiquity and forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths beneath Rome’s glorious facade. 
  Bold, unflinching, and urgently relevant, this is history that speaks to today’s conversations about power, gender, and the weaponization of sexuality. For scholars, students, and anyone who dares to ask what lies beneath the empire’s polished stone, No Place for Mercy is an essential and unforgettable read.
