Sinossi

In "Women and Economics," Charlotte Perkins Gilman presents a groundbreaking analysis of the socio-economic forces shaping women's roles in society at the turn of the 20th century. Through a blend of sociological insight and feminist critique, Gilman argues for women's economic independence and autonomy as essential to social progress. Drawing on historical context and contemporary issues, her writing style is both provocative and persuasive, inviting readers to rethink traditional gender roles informed by economic dependency. This seminal work not only highlights the impact of capitalism on women's liberation but also critiques the domestic sphere, ultimately advocating for systemic changes in both family structures and broader societal norms. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a prominent intellectual of her time, was steeped in the feminist movement and its implications for women's emancipation. Born into a lineage of social reformers, Gilman's personal experiences with depression and confinement in her earlier years led her to reject conventional views of femininity and domesticity. Her motivation to expose the injustices faced by women, along with her diverse background in literature and sociology, informed her powerful call for economic reform. "Women and Economics" is a vital read for anyone interested in feminist theory, socio-economic analysis, and the intersections of gender and economics. Gilman's insightful critique remains remarkably relevant today, making it an essential text for contemporary discussions around women's roles in society.

  • All the Ways Our Dead Still Speak - A Funeral Director on Life Death and the Hereafter - cover

    All the Ways Our Dead Still...

    What if our dead remain with us? What if closure is not the goal? No matter what you believe about the afterlife, what if the hereafter intersects with the here and now? 
     
     
     
    Caleb Wilde, author of the acclaimed memoir Confessions of a Funeral Director, was a skeptic. The baffling stories people told him—deathbed visions of long-dead parents, visits from the other side—must be hallucinations or wishful thinking, he thought. But the more stories he heard, and the more he learned about non-Western understandings of body and spirit, the less sure he was. 
     
     
     
    All the Ways Our Dead Still Speak takes listeners on a lyrical and tender quest to encounter the hereafter. As Wilde picks up bodies, organizes funerals, and meets with grieving families in a small town in Pennsylvania, those who remain share with him—and us—what they experience in the thin places between life and death. Entwining these stories with his own as a sixth-generation funeral director, and with the findings of neuroscience and the solace of faith, Wilde creates a searching, reverent inquiry into all the ways our dead remain with us. In the process, he takes on prevailing dogmas about death: from a narrow Christian view of heaven and hell, to secular assumptions that death is the end, to pop-psychology maxims that say we all need "closure" after our loved ones die.

    "A forceful call to recognize the roots of American inequality and a solid starting point for Christians who want to help fix them." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    Racism is not about hate and ignorance. It's about greed. And it always has been. 
     
     
     
    Black Christian historian Malcolm Foley explores this idea in The Anti-Greed Gospel, showing how the desire for power and money—what some call "racial capitalism"—causes violence and exploitation. 
     
     
     
    Foley reviews the history of racial violence in the United States and connects the killings of modern-day Black Americans to the history of lynching in America. He helps the contemporary church wrestle with the questions racial violence brings up: How can we become communities that show generosity and resist greed? What is the next step in the journey for racial justice? 
     
     
     
    Listeners will walk away with a better understanding of how they can resist greed that exploits others, love their neighbor more completely, and build communities of deep solidarity, anti-violence, and truth telling.

    A detailed and fully illustrated look at aerial combat in the closing year of WWII across all theaters of conflict. The final year of World War II witnessed the decline of the piston-engine fighter and the beginning of the jet age. Taking to the skies were tried-and-true fighters, improved versions of old aircraft, and newly developed jets, including prototypes that flew for the first time just before the war ended.   In Air Combat 1945, historian Donald Nijboer examines these dynamic aircraft through hundreds of wartime photographs depicting operations across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. This volume covers American Mustangs, Thunderbolts, and Shooting Stars; British Tempests, Spitfires, and Gloster Meteors; German Fw 190s, Bf 109Ks, and Messerschmitt Me 262s; Japanese Ki 100s, Raidens, and Tojos; and many more.

    "Transactional Analysis in Psychotherapy" by Eric Berne is a seminal text that delves into the intricacies of human interaction and communication through the lens of transactional analysis (TA). Published in 1961, this book presents TA not just as a theory but as a practical method of therapy, offering insights into the dynamics of human behavior. Berne introduces concepts such as ego states, which categorize communication and behavior into parent-like, child-like, or adult-like forms, and "strokes," which are units of interpersonal recognition. He explores the structuring of time and the concept of life scripts—unconscious life plans adopted under parental influence. Berne's work is foundational in the field of psychotherapy, providing tools for understanding the complexities of human relationships and the mechanisms of communication, making it an essential read for professionals in psychology and psychotherapy, as well as anyone interested in the deeper understanding of social interactions.
