Beschreibung

Railroad History explores how railroads dramatically reshaped global connectivity and economic landscapes, particularly during the railroad boom. Beyond just technological advancements, railroads spurred significant economic transformation by facilitating trade and industrial production, essentially shrinking distances and creating new markets.

 
For example, the expansion of railroads in the 19th century fueled urbanization by connecting rural areas to burgeoning city centers, altering social structures and enabling unprecedented mobility. The book delves into the social and political ramifications of this era, examining how railroads served as instruments for national expansion and consolidation of power.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, the book progresses from the initial technological innovations to the economic consequences, then to the societal impacts, and finally assesses the lasting legacy of railroads on globalization and modern economies. By integrating economic, social, and political analyses, Railroad History offers a holistic view of how railroads fundamentally altered global power dynamics and set the stage for the interconnected world we know today.

    Our past does not simply disappear. The painful history of our ancestors and their rich cultural wisdom intertwine within us to create the patterns of our future. Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our children—a legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Tirzah Firestone brings to life the profound impact of protracted historical trauma through the compelling narratives of Israeli terror victims, Holocaust survivors, and those whose lives were marred by racial persecution and displacement. The tragic story of Firestone's own family lays the groundwork for these revealing testimonies of recovery, forgiveness, and moral leadership. 
     
     
     
    Throughout, Firestone interweaves their voices with neuroscientific and psychological findings, as well as relevant and inspiring Jewish teachings. Seven principles emerge from these wise narratives—powerful prescriptive tools that speak to anyone dealing with the effects of past injury. At the broadest level, these principles are directives for staying morally awake in a world rife with terror.

    ""A must-read for any woman who is ready to design a life on her own terms.” – Sophia Amoruso, Founder and CEO, Girlboss 
    Women: it’s time to break the good girl myths that are holding you back and share your true gifts with this groundbreaking book from Stanford University-trained designer and women’s leadership expert Majo Molfino. 
    For thousands of years, women have been taught to be “good” instead of powerful. But when we embody the good girl, we hold back their voices and gifts in a world that desperately needs female perspectives.  
    Drawing on countless coaching sessions and conversations with female leaders, Majo identifies five self-sabotaging tendencies (“the five Good Girl Myths”) every woman must overcome to unleash her power and design a more purposeful life: The Myth of Rules 
    The Myth of Perfection 
    The Myth of Logic 
    The Myth of Harmony 
    The Myth of Sacrifice 
    While there are many women’s leadership books, Majo uses her knowledge and training in design thinking (which is used by the world’s most innovative people and companies) to help you build creative confidence and break free from these disempowering myths once and for all.  
    Discover how each myth negatively affects your relationships, career, and well-being and identify your primary good girl myth – the blindspot that’s zapping most of your power as a creative badass.  
    If you’re a woman who can’t seem to get your voice or ideas out into the world, Break the Good Girl Myth will finally help you understand why and light the way out so you can become the woman you’re meant to be.   
    Your time – our time – is now.

    Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change. 
     
     
     
    Leading policy analyst Geoff Mulgan here calls attention to the growing frictions caused by the expanding—and unsolicited—authority being heaped upon science. As science increasingly competes with politics, a defined plan of cooperation is urgently needed. 
     
     
     
    Mulgan outlines science and politics as two distinct, imperfect forms of collective intelligence. Whereas science is ordered around what we know and what is, politics engages what we feel and what matters. Politics functions because it recognizes the limits of power, the need for delegation and expert advice. The intellectual logic of science, on the other hand, focuses on detail and depth, struggling to place its knowledge in wider contexts. The crux of the matter, Mulgan argues, is how can we ensure that crucial decisions taken in democracies are both well informed and legitimate? 
     
     
     
    Rooted in understanding that science and politics are not just fields of ideas but also fields of action, this book proposes ways to ensure that the two work effectively together.

    Are you a survivor of childhood sexual abuse? Are you tired of the painful memories of your abuse resurfacing again and again? Do you feel shame, anger, worthlessness, fear, etc. related to the abuse? Have you ever felt that your life has no purpose? Or you are worthless? Have you ever believed that you deserved the abuse? That you'll never get over it? Or that you will never amount to anything now? Then this book is for you. 
    In this book, I share my own story, how I discovered the lies I was living, how I overcame them (along with many other detrimental effects of the abuse), and offer hope and direction along the road to recovery from childhood sexual abuse. My hope is that you can learn something from my story that may set you free from the bondage you are in and open your mind to the fact that a beautiful life is absolutely possible after abuse. 
    The most important takeaways I hope you get from this book are: knowing and believing the abuse was not your fault, happiness every single day and a beautiful, bright future is definitely possible, forgiveness is achievable, and you are simply amazing just the way you are today: All of these takeaways are 100% up to you, but don't worry, I will show you how to get there in the book and the included workbook. So, are you ready for positive change? Let's get to it!
