Synopsis

Disability History Overview explores the evolution of disability from a medical concern to a matter of human rights and social justice. This transformation includes analyzing how societal attitudes and medical theories have shaped the experience of disability across different eras. The book highlights the disability rights movement, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of disabled activists fighting for equality. Understanding this history is crucial for dismantling ableism and fostering a more equitable world.

 
The book examines the historical construction of disability, the impact of institutionalization, and the rise of disability rights movements. For example, large-scale institutions often subjected disabled individuals to dehumanizing conditions. The narrative progresses from pre-modern perspectives to contemporary challenges like accessibility and digital inclusion. It argues that disability is a social construct reflecting power dynamics, supported by historical documents and scholarly research. This perspective challenges traditional medical models and emphasizes social and political factors.

    Robert Harris has brought Agrippa back to life in fiction. Now meet the real man. 
    Marcus Agrippa was the man Augustus could not do without. 
    General. Admiral. Statesman. Diplomat. Builder. Best friend, trusted lieutenant and son-in-law of Rome’s first emperor. For more than three decades, Agrippa fought Rome’s enemies, defeated rival fleets, negotiated with kings, pacified provinces, and transformed the city of Rome. His military victories helped make Augustus’s empire possible. 
    Now Robert Harris’s new novel, “Agrippa,” brings this remarkable Roman back into the spotlight. But what was the real man like? 
    Discover the true story behind the fiction. 
    Acclaimed historian and writer Lindsay Powell draws on the surviving historical evidence to tell the extraordinary story of Marcus Agrippa, from his rise from obscurity to his role as Augustus’s indispensable right-hand man. Agrippa emerges not as a supporting character in someone else’s story, but as one of the most consequential figures of ancient Rome in his own right. 
    This is more than a conventional biographical audiobook. Read by the author, this immersive dramatized adaptation of the book brings the ancient world to life, with selected historical quotations and scenes enhanced with sound effects. 
    For listeners discovering Agrippa through Robert Harris, or anyone fascinated by the people, power and intrigue of ancient Rome, “Marcus Agrippa: The True Story” reveals the amazing life behind the legend — and shows why the reality may be even more compelling than the fiction.

    Queerness is a blessing. Reclaim your spiritual practice. 
    In House Of Our Queer, activist and organizer, Bex Mui M. Ed., takes readers on a winding path through her spiritual journey. Raised Catholic— with Buddhist influences from her father and his family— Bex shares the complexities that arise from being queer in religious spaces and shares her journey back to her spiritual roots after years of shutting out faith. Whether you have felt shut out by religion, or have wanted to find your own queer spiritual path, this book is for you. 
    Throughout the text, the author describes her own spiritual practices including energy work, astrology, tarot, ancestor altars, moon rituals, sacred sexuality, and reframed Christian practices and beliefs. Each chapter ends with offerings that readers can incorporate into their own spiritual practice. The author guides and inspires readers to reclaim spiritual practices that work for them. 
    Spiritual practices can help people find stability and community to develop trust in intuitions. Yet, too often, queer people feel that they must sacrifice queerness and pleasure to benefit from everything that spirituality has to offer. House Of Our Queer poses that great change can happen when queerness is held at the center, rather than at the margins of religious experience. Bex Mui creates the foundation for reclaiming faith and spirituality without sacrificing the essential parts o who we are. The text serves as a reminder that queerness is a blessing, and offers tools we can use to honor that truth in our daily lives.

    'Here is a history of publand, yes, but here is a moment in time as well.'
    For centuries, the public house has played an important role in the social and cultural history of Dublin. As the headquarters for a major revolution, a mecca of literary invention or a haven from work, 'the local' is a cornerstone of community life and a testament to human endeavour in an ever-changing city.
    Beginning with the taverns and ale houses of the 17th and 18th centuries, Donal Fallon brings the reader on a visual journey through world renowned public houses such as the Brazen Head, The Long Hall, Grogan's and The Palace, and on to early houses and gay bars, spirit grocers and shebeens. As well as the establishments themselves, the 'Plain People of Ireland' appear in chapters about temperance, karaoke and snugs. Along the way, we meet patrons as diverse and famous around the capital as Theobald Wolfe Tone, Nell McCafferty and Con Houlihan. And visitors to Dublin are also here, as the photographer Lee Miller seeks out the city of James Joyce and Elizabeth Taylor searches in vain for the Ladies' toilet.
    Drawing from rich archival collections, The Dublin Pub includes many previously unpublished photographs as well as testimonies from the past and present to bring the history of the Dublin pub to vivid life.
