  Habit Forming - Drug Addiction...

  Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction. Later in the nineteenth century, many used cocaine and heroin as medicine. As addiction became a major public health issue, commentators typically sympathized with white, middle-class drug users, while criticizing such use by poor or working-class people and people of color. When habituation was associated with middle-class morphine users, few advocated for restricted drug access. By the 1910s, as use was increasingly associated with poor young men, support for regulations increased. In outlawing users' access to habit-forming drugs at the national level, a public health problem became a larger legal and social problem, one with an enduring influence on American drug laws and their enforcement.

  What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way? 
   
   
   
  This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future. 
   
   
   
  Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. 
   
    
    
  Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future. 
   
   
    
  Thoughtful and witty, this must-listen book unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts. A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, listeners will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.

  You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
   
  Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
   
  Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.
