Sinopsis

In "A Persian Pearl, and Other Essays," Clarence Darrow showcases his astute observations on a variety of subjects, blending personal reflection with biting social commentary. The essays reveal Darrow's literary style as both eloquent and incisive, marked by a keen wit and an unwavering commitment to justice. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, a period rich with sociopolitical upheaval, these writings serve as a critique of societal norms and an exploration of moral philosophy, revealing the complexities of human nature and the pursuit of truth. Clarence Darrow, renowned for his role as a lawyer and civil liberties advocate, drew upon his extensive legal career and personal convictions in crafting this collection. His experiences defending controversial figures and championing causes such as anti-war sentiments and labor rights lend a profound sincerity and urgency to his essays. The insights in "A Persian Pearl" reflect Darrow's belief in the fundamental rights of individuals, illuminating his progressive views within a traditional society. I recommend "A Persian Pearl, and Other Essays" to readers seeking a thought-provoking discourse that challenges conventional wisdom. Through Darrow's compelling prose, you will find yourself engaged with critical issues of justice, ethics, and human rights that remain deeply relevant today.

    If teachers want an inclusive, engaging classroom, they must learn their students' names. Sound advice, but rarely does it come with practical guidance—which is precisely what this book offers. Eschewing the random tips and mnemonic tricks that invariably fall short, Michelle D. Miller offers teachers a clear explanation of what is really going on when we learn a name, and a science-based approach for using this knowledge to pedagogical advantage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on a background in the psychology of language and memory, Miller gives a lively overview of the surprising science of learning proper names, along with an account of why the practice is at once so difficult and yet so critical to effective teaching. She then sets out practical techniques for learning names. In her discussion of certain factors that can make learning names especially challenging, Miller pays particular attention to neurodivergence and the effects of aging on this form of memory. A Teacher's Guide to Learning Student Names lays out strategies for putting these techniques into practice, suggests technological aids and other useful resources, and explains how to make name learning a core aspect of one's teaching practice. 
     
     
     
    This concise guide provides teachers of all disciplines and levels an invaluable tool for creating a welcoming and productive learning environment.

    The Civic Brand: The Power & Responsibility of Place is a bold and practical book that challenges conventional thinking about city-building, tourism, economic development, and community engagement. Author Ryan Short introduces a new framework for shaping more resilient, equitable, and loveable places that is rooted in identity, values, and a triple bottom line. 
    Drawing from years of experience working with cities, counties, and regions across the country, Ryan Short shows how fragmented efforts, siloed departments, and surface-level branding have left communities struggling to grow with intention or preserve what makes them special. The Civic Brand reveals how place branding, when done right, isn’t just logos or slogans, but about uniting people, guiding policy, and building shared civic pride. Blending strategic insight with vivid, often entertaining stories from the field, this book brings to life the challenges and triumphs of real places navigating growth, decline, and identity. 
    Whether facing overtourism or decline, rapid growth or disinvestment, division or disengagement, this book offers a bold path forward. It’s a call to city leaders, planners, business owners, developers, and residents alike to recognize their role in shaping place and to do so with purpose. 
    The Civic Brand is more than a book, it’s a movement to reimagine how we care for the places we call home.

    Adoption - What You Should Know

    Before you spend up to $75,000 in hidden child-adoption fees, adult adoptees worldwide have investigated the history of domestic and international adoption and have started a movement to end the crisis of child trafficking. You can gain a bird's-eye view on adoption secrets before you transfer funds to the adoption agency. This information is available for a short time only. 
    This research book has been divided into four short, easy-to-read sections, revealing the making of the current child welfare system throughout time: starting in Europe (referred to as the European Child Migration Schemes); then spreading to America (known as the Orphan Train Movement); into Asia (called the Evangelical Baby "Swoop" Era), to what's trending today: Africa. 
    The pioneers who built and profited from the industry continue to deny adoptees access to documents that could lead them back to their families. This book protects you against adoption profiteers and traffickers who profess God is on their side. It summarizes the inception and expansion of the adoption industry, focusing on its roots and consequences kept from public awareness. Discover the history of adoption from another angle--a view adoption agencies will never tell you. The findings have been called mind-blowing! 
    How would you like to be given a new identity and removed from your siblings--never to be permitted to contact them again, even upon death? This is just one of many red tape adoptees are forced to contend with because of adoption. Inspired by a Haitian adoptee who died of heart failure after learning that he had been trafficked to France for overseas adoption but was never able to acquire justice. NOT recommended for adoption profiteers, anti-abortion fundamentalists, evangelicals, or individuals against equal rights for adult adoptees. Available in a textbook format as Adoption History: An Adoptee's Research into Child Trafficking (VANCE).
