Synopsis

In "The Men of the Nineties," Bernard Muddiman meticulously explores the complexities of masculinity during a transformative decade in British society. The narrative elegantly weaves biographical sketches of influential men from various sectors'Äîpolitics, arts, and science'Äîjuxtaposed with the prevailing cultural mores of the 1890s. Muddiman employs a rich, descriptive literary style that captures the burgeoning modernity, while simultaneously critiquing the ideals of masculinity that shaped the zeitgeist of the era. This text serves as both a historical document and a literary reflection, inviting readers to ponder the dichotomies of traditional vs. emergent male identities during a time of societal upheaval. Bernard Muddiman, an astute historian and literary scholar, draws upon his deep affinity for the Victorian period to craft this insightful work. With a background in cultural studies and a keen interest in gender discourse, Muddiman examines the influence of historical events like the rise of the suffragette movement and the aestheticism associated with the end of the 19th century. His research is meticulous, carving out a unique niche in gender studies and Victorian historiography that enriches the understanding of masculinity's evolution. "The Men of the Nineties" is recommended for readers interested in gender studies, Victorian literature, and the socio-cultural dynamics of the time. Muddiman's work not only informs but also challenges preconceived notions regarding masculinity, making it an essential read for scholars and casual readers alike who seek a deeper understanding of this pivotal moment in history.

    Disconnection has become an epidemic, and it may require a revolutionary effort to get us back together—a reconnection revolution.  
    Staying connected in this human race is the most direct route to happiness. But never have we been more disconnected. A call to simply connect isn’t enough any longer. Connection is what we’re wired for, and it can be easy: waving at your neighbour, going on that second date, buying coffee for the person behind you. The hard part comes when we are called on to reconnect, to repair or re-engage, especially after we’ve been wronged, alienated or hurt. We all desperately want to get it right, but this requires another step, which is the magic each of us so often misses: the act of seeing. As simple as it is complex, it all comes down to this truth: when we’re feeling seen, we will rise.   
    Feeling Seen is a timely work with a timeless message. Written on a blueprint of theory, with a road map of reconnection (including three simple stops) and a way back for when we get lost, it leads to a place where all of those who share the human race will truly see—in ourselves as well as one another—our differences, our sorrows and our joys.

    Phenomenology is a branch of philosophy that delves into the structures of experience and consciousness, aiming to understand how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. At its core, phenomenology seeks to examine the nature of subjective experience and the ways in which our consciousness engages with phenomena, offering insights into the nature of reality from a first-person perspective. This philosophical approach was pioneered by Edmund Husserl in the early 20th century, and it has since evolved to influence numerous disciplines, from psychology to cognitive science and beyond. 
    The essence of phenomenology lies in its commitment to the lived experience. Unlike traditional philosophy, which often abstracts reality through logic and reason, phenomenology emphasizes the importance of understanding the world as it is experienced by individuals. This involves focusing on the way things appear to consciousness before any interpretation or theoretical assumptions are made. In this sense, phenomenology is concerned with describing and analyzing the direct, lived experience of human beings, often referred to as the “phenomenon” in phenomenological terms.

    “A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.” —from the foreword by Luisah Teish   “If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.” —Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees   Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.   Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.
