Synopsis

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.

    When writers write, they are getting in touch with the image of God in them. This is true in some way of all artistry, but writers especially create worlds, characters, histories, and transformation--all ex nihilo ("out of nothing"). 
    In The Storied Life, veteran author Jared C. Wilson explores the ins and outs of writers and writing, exploring the myriad ways the craft is more about transformation than simply communication. From decades of experience and with his signature wit, Wilson brings well-earned insight, autobiographical reflections, and meaningful meditations to the topic of writing as a way of life and as a way of worship, showing how the concept of Story--our personal stories and God's grand story of redemption--shapes fiction and non-fiction writers alike. 
    Chapters focus on topics like:The liturgy of story.Writing as a spiritual act.Perseverance and endurance.Writing as a calling.Promotion, publishing, and platform. 
      
    Whether you're a long-time writer or a beginning author, a daily journaler or an occasional dabbler, The Storied Life will help you improve your craft. It will lead you to think more deeply about the disciplines and dispositions needed to write for transformation. 
    Recommended readingcan be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    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.

    Written over the course of five years, these poems grapple with purpose and reality from a myriad of existentialist perspectives and themes. Through these poems, we travel through the cosmos, to various mythological settings, and even to our own neurons. If you're seeking to rearrange your grey matter, this is the collection for you. This collection is broken up into seven sections that are based on core existentialist concepts. Each section comes with its own unique stippling drawing and a brief bit of info on the concept. Existentialism is humanism.
