  Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties the ancient kind and the everyday variety as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever.
  Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.

  Beyond Proportionality -...

  Imagine a war without battlefields. There are no uniforms. Civilians and combatants are indistinguishable. Homes, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings are used as command and communication centers, and for the warehousing of weapons. Apartment rooftops are launching pads; the civilians who live inside . . . human shields. There are over 300 miles of reinforced tunnels, all outfitted with weapons and passageways for terrorists to take hostages and travel freely. 
   
   
   
  Beyond Proportionality examines Israel's battles against Hamas and Hezbollah under the laws of war and concludes that its wartime conduct was based on military necessity and fought justly. The targets are terrorists, weapons, and tunnels—not civilians. Israel relies upon verifiable intelligence, deploys precise weapons, and endangers its own soldiers in order to minimize civilian death. 
   
   
   
  The bombings over Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden, and the urban warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, produced large numbers of civilian dead that were not considered acts of genocide; the war in Gaza was no different.

  «Una autobiografía perturbadora e inolvidable [...] Esta desgarradora historia narra la lucha a la que se enfrentan muchas familias que son separadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México». —Publisher's Weekly  
  «La inquietante y elocuente historia de una guatemalteca en búsqueda de una vida mejor». —Kirkus  
  «Un libro profundamente conmovedor e importante […] que debería ser leído por todo aquel que se considere estadounidense. Por todo ciudadano del mundo». —John Perkins, autor de Confessions of an Economic Hitman y Touching the Jaguar 
   
  Una historia conmovedora sobre dos madres marcadas por la crisis migratoria: una guatemalteca que ha sido separada de sus hijos y la estadounidense que la ayuda a reunirse con su familia. 
  Cuando Rosayra Pablo Cruz tomó la desgarradora decisión de buscar asilo en Estados Unidos con sus dos hijos, Fernando, de cinco años y Yordy, de quince, sabía que la travesía sería difícil, peligrosa y probablemente mortal. Pero la violencia rampante en Guatemala era insostenible; Rosy sabía que su familia sólo sobreviviría si migraba al norte. 
  Tras un peligroso viaje que los deja deshidratados, hambrientos y exhaustos, Rosy, Fernando y Yordy logran llegar a Arizona. Pero casi inmediatamente son separados a la fuerza por los oficiales gubernamentales del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional bajo la política «tolerancia cero». 
  Rosy y Julie Schwietert Collazo, la fundadora de Immigrant Families Together (Familias Inmigrantes Juntas), la organización comunitaria creada para reunir a madres con sus hijos, cuentan su historia y desvelan las crueles condiciones de los centros de detención, la insoportable ansiedad que padeció Rosy al ser separada de sus hijos y cómo la Fe y el amor la ayudaron a sobrellevar sus momentos más oscuros. 
  Un retrato insólito y cautivante de las consecuencias que las políticas inhumanas infligen sobre los inmigrantes que cruzan la frontera estadounidense y de los lazos inquebrantables de la familia, la Fe y la comunidad. 
  ROSAYRA PABLO CRUZ es la madre de cuatro hijos. Fue dueña de una pequeña tienda de ropa en Guatemala antes de llegar a Estados Unidos. En la actualidad, vive en Nueva York, es copresidenta de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros de su hijo mayor y miembro activo de su comunidad e iglesia.  
  JULIE SCHWIETERT COLLAZO es escritora, editora, traductora bilingüe (inglés-español) y exterapeuta de artes creativas. Ha escrito para varios medios y es coautora de un libro sobre el Papa Francisco que ha sido traducido a más de una docena de idiomas. Vive en Nueva York.

  Control Tactics - Strategies...

  Cito Harder

  Control tactics are strategies used by individuals, groups, or institutions to influence, manipulate, or dominate others. These methods can range from subtle psychological techniques to overt coercion, all designed to limit personal autonomy and shape behavior. Control can be exercised in personal relationships, workplaces, social groups, and even on a larger societal scale. Understanding how control tactics function is the first step in recognizing and resisting them. 
  At their core, control tactics exploit psychological and emotional vulnerabilities. Some individuals use them for personal gain, while others employ them to maintain power or enforce conformity. Whether intentional or not, these strategies often create imbalances in relationships, where one party holds undue influence over another. This can be seen in toxic relationships, authoritarian leadership, cult-like environments, and even marketing and political campaigns. 
  One of the most common control tactics is emotional manipulation. This includes guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and playing on insecurities to create dependency. By distorting reality or fostering self-doubt, manipulators can make individuals question their own perceptions, leading them to rely more heavily on the controlling figure. Over time, this erodes confidence and makes it harder for the individual to challenge the control being exerted.
