Sinopsis

Absurd Everyday Laws explores the strange and often humorous regulations still in existence today, offering insights into legal history, social control, and the evolution of social norms. It's more than just a list of oddities; it reveals how seemingly nonsensical laws reflect the values and anxieties of past societies, influencing our lives even now. For instance, the book examines how laws governing everything from food and drink to personal conduct originated, and why some, like prohibitions on Sunday alcohol sales, persist.

 
The book approaches its subject by first introducing the concept of absurd laws and their origins, from historical context to unintended legislative consequences. It then delves into themed chapters focusing on laws related to areas such as food, transportation, and public behavior, providing historical context for each.

 
Finally, Absurd Everyday Laws analyzes the implications of these laws, examining their roles in society, the legal challenges they present, and arguments for and against their repeal, ultimately offering a framework for evaluating laws in a changing world, making it valuable for those interested in social science or politics.

    Randy Shilts was the preeminent LGBTQ+ reporter of his generation. 
     
     
     
    He was the first openly gay reporter assigned to a gay beat at a mainstream paper and one of the nation's most influential chroniclers of gay history, politics, and culture. Shilts wrote three seminal works on the community: The Mayor of Castro Street, on the life, assassination, and legacy of Harvey Milk; And the Band Played On, detailing the failure of politics as usual during the early AIDS epidemic; and Conduct Unbecoming, a history of the US military's mistreatment of LGBTQ service members. 
     
      
     
    Yet the intimate life story of Randy Shilts has been left unwritten. When the Band Played On tells that story, recognizing his legacy as a trailblazing figure in gay activism, journalism, and public policy. 
     
     
     
    The resulting narrative tells the tale of a singularly gifted voice, a talented yet insecure young man whose coming of age became intricately linked to the historic peaks and devastating perils of modern gay liberation. 
     
     
     
    When the Band Played On is the authoritative account of Randy Shilts's trailblazing life, as well as his legacy of shaping the history-making events he covered.

    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.
