Sinopse

In "Chinese Mettle," E. G. Kemp masterfully weaves a narrative that delves into the intricate interplay between tradition and modernity in contemporary China. Utilizing a unique blend of poetic prose and vivid imagery, Kemp captures the resilience of the Chinese spirit amidst rapid socio-economic transformations. The book is anchored in a rich literary context that reflects China's tumultuous history, featuring characters whose journeys echo both the trials faced by the nation and the enduring weight of ancestral heritage. Each chapter unfolds like a carefully constructed tapestry, inviting readers to contemplate the complex dynamics of identity, ambition, and cultural pride. E. G. Kemp, a scholar of East Asian studies with a profound interest in Chinese culture, draws upon his extensive travels and immersive experiences within the country. His academic background and deep appreciation for Chinese philosophy and literature empower him to explore themes of resilience and fortitude, infusing the narrative with authenticity and insight. Kemp's previous works have similarly addressed the intersections of Eastern and Western thought, establishing him as a vital voice in contemporary literary discourse. "Chinese Mettle" is recommended for readers seeking a profound exploration of modern Chinese identity and the universal themes of determination and resilience. Kemp's eloquent prose not only captivates but also enlightens, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of contemporary China and the enduring spirit of its people.

    We live in a world that has become secularized, marked by ideology and partisanship. In such a world, how are we supposed to know what is right and wrong? As Christians, how are we supposed to approach the social issues of our day? With conflicting voices surrounding us, how can we hear and know the voice of Jesus Christ and receive His teachings? 
    As Christians, we seek to live the way of the Lord Jesus, but that’s easier said than done. We want to demonstrate the Lord’s love and kindness to all men and women, but we’re faced with issues that cause us to discern what that looks like and how it’s virtuously expressed. We want to do what is right and good, but trying to determine right and wrong can at times be confusing and unsettling. 
    The teaching authority of the Church is here to help. Appointed by Jesus Christ, our shepherds discern, interpret, and apply His teachings to our everyday lives. 
    The Church’s Social Doctrine, by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, is an approachable, easy-to-read guide on eight of our most pressing social issues. The book applies divine wisdom and the guidance of the Church as it dissects oft-debated topics, presenting helpful teaching so that the reader knows how to navigate today’s contentious world with conviction and a clear conscience. 
    The book answers: 
    • Why is abortion above all other social issues in importance? 
    • Can immigration be both moral and limited? 
    • What is the Christian responsibility to the environment? 
    • How are we called to approach the LGBTQ+ movement? 
    • Is healthcare a human right? 
    • When can artificial nutrition and hydration be suspended for a dying relative?

    It is March 1972, and the Nixon White House wants Jack Anderson dead. The syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, the most famous and feared investigative reporter in the nation, has exposed yet another of the President's dirty secrets. Nixon's operatives are ordered to "stop Anderson at all costs"—permanently. Across the street from the White House, they huddle in a hotel basement to conspire. Should they try "Aspirin Roulette" and break into Anderson's home to plant a poisoned pill in one of his medicine bottles? Could they smear LSD on the journalist's steering wheel, so that he would absorb it through his skin, lose control of his car, and crash? Or stage a routine-looking mugging, making Anderson appear to be one more fatal victim of Washington's notorious street crime?Poisoning the Press: Richard Nixon, Jack Anderson, and the Rise of Washington's Scandal Culture recounts not only the disturbing story of an unprecedented White House conspiracy to assassinate a journalist, but also the larger tale of the bitter quarter-century battle between the postwar era's most embattled politician and its most reviled newsman. The struggle between Nixon and Anderson included bribery, blackmail, forgery, spying, and burglary as well as the White House murder plot. Their vendetta symbolized and accelerated the growing conflict between the government and the press, a clash that would long outlive both men.Mark Feldstein traces the arc of this confrontation between a vindictive president and a flamboyant, crusading muckraker who rifled through garbage and swiped classified papers in pursuit of his prey—stoking the paranoia in Nixon that would ultimately lead to his ruin. The White House plot to poison Anderson, Feldstein argues, is a metaphor for the poisoned political atmosphere that would follow, and the toxic sensationalism that contaminates contemporary media discourse. Melding history and biography, Poisoning the Press unearths significant new information from more than two hundred interviews and thousands of declassified documents and tapes. This is a chronicle of political intrigue and the true price of power for politicians and journalists alike. The result—Washington's modern scandal culture—was Richard Nixon's ultimate revenge.

    Have you read books about narcissistic abuse recovery and toxic personalities? Although you feel more informed, you still find yourself going around in circles with them. Do you still have burning questions? Why are they like this? Do they continuously drain your energy with their atrocious behavior? Let's be honest. Regardless of what we do in life, narcissists will always be around. No one can completely exterminate their life of toxic personalities. They will still show up at work, unbreakable family ties, or a relationship you cannot escape. Wouldn't it be nice to deal with them completely unaffected? 
     
     
     
    Learn techniques, tools, and insight into your relationships that you won't find in any other book. There are reasons that narcissists love and lock onto empaths, givers, and lovers. As the counterpart, we have insecurities, matching traumas, imbalances, and inner wounds that must heal. Merely explaining the psychology around toxic and narcissistic personalities does not address our core issues, so we continue to repeat patterns with them. Only once we look at both sides of the relationship from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual standpoint can we maintain relationships without becoming trapped by negative emotions. We are in charge of those emotions, yet we do not know how to identify, heal, or balance ourselves. That's the focus of this book.

    The words of China's most famous political prisoner 
     
     
     
    In Xinjiang, the large northwest region of China, the government has imprisoned more than a million Uyghurs in reeducation camps. One of the incarcerated—whose sentence, unlike most others, has no end date—is Ilham Tohti, an intellectual and economist, a prolific writer, and formerly the host of a website, Uyghur Online. In 2014, Tohti was arrested; accused of advocating separatism, violence, and the overthrow of the Chinese government; subjected to a two-day trial; and sentenced to life. Nothing has been heard from him since. 
     
     
     
    Here are Tohti's own words, a collection of his plain-spoken calls for justice, scholarly explanations of the history of Xinjiang, and poignant personal reflections. While his courage and outspokenness about the plight of China's Muslim minorities is extraordinary, these essays sound a measured insistence on peace and just treatment for the Uyghurs. 
     
     
     
    Winner of the PEN/Goldsmith Freedom to Write Award and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought while imprisoned, this book is the only way to hear from a man who has been called "a Uyghur Mandela."
