  Beyond Survival - Strategies and...

  Transformative justice seeks to solve the problem of violence at the grassroots level, without relying on punishment, incarceration, or policing. Community-based approaches to preventing crime and repairing its damage have existed for centuries. However, in the putative atmosphere of contemporary criminal justice systems, they are often marginalized and operate under the radar. Beyond Survival puts these strategies front and center as real alternatives to today's failed models of confinement and "correction." 
   
   
   
  In this collection, a diverse group of authors focuses on concrete and practical forms of redress and accountability, assessing existing practices and marking paths forward. They use a variety of forms—from toolkits to personal essays—to delve deeply into the "how to" of transformative justice, providing alternatives to calling the police, ways to support people having mental health crises, stories of community-based murder investigations, and much more. At the same time, they document the history of this radical movement, creating space for long-time organizers to reflect on victories, struggles, mistakes, and transformations.

  How You Say It - Why You Talk...

  From “one of the most brilliant young psychologists of her generation” (Paul Bloom), a groundbreaking examination of how speech causes some of our deepest social divides—and how it can help us overcome them.   We gravitate toward people like us; it’s human nature. Race, class, and gender shape our social identities, and thus who we perceive as “like us” or “not like us”. But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful: the way we speak. As the pioneering psychologist  Katherine Kinzler reveals in How You Say It, the way we talk is central to our social identity because our speech largely reflects the voices we heard as children. We can change how we speak to some extent, whether by “code-switching” between dialects or learning a new language; over time, your speech even changes to reflect your evolving social identity and aspirations. But for the most part, we are forever marked by our native tongue—and are hardwired to prejudge others by theirs, often with serious consequences. Your accent alone can determine the economic opportunity or discrimination you encounter in life, making speech one of the most urgent social-justice issues of our day. Our linguistic differences present challenges, Kinzler shows, but they also can be a force for good. Humans can benefit from being exposed to multiple languages —a paradox that should inspire us to master this ancient source of tribalism, and rethink the role that speech plays in our society.  Narrated by multiple Audie and Earphones Award winner Andi Arndt is the narrator of hundreds of audiobooks in fiction and non-fiction, and a member of the Audible Narrator Hall of Fame.

  "The Queen of Distraction" is a comprehensive guide specifically tailored for women dealing with ADHD and its unique challenges. The book acknowledges that while not all readers may have a formal ADHD diagnosis, many women struggle with organization, focus, and daily tasks. Author Terry Matlen, a psychotherapist, approaches ADHD from a distinctly feminine perspective, addressing specific challenges that women face in managing their condition. 
  The book explores how ADHD manifests differently in women compared to men, covering crucial areas such as maintaining relationships, dealing with sensory sensitivities (particularly skin sensitivities), the complexities of meal planning, parenting challenges, and the intersection of ADHD symptoms with hormonal fluctuations. It provides practical strategies and actionable solutions for managing these challenges. 
  What sets this book apart is its focus on real-world applications, offering concrete tips and techniques for everything from basic daily tasks like getting dressed to more complex challenges like preparing for job interviews or planning meals. The author understands that for women with ADHD, even simple daily activities can become overwhelming ordeals. 
  Rather than just providing basic coping mechanisms, the book aims to help readers truly thrive rather than merely survive. It offers various treatment options and management strategies that can be customized to individual needs. The approach is both practical and empowering, acknowledging the struggles while providing hope and concrete solutions for improvement.

  Queens and Prophets - How...

  Contrary to popular assumption, Arab women were instrumental in shaping world history. Between Rome’s intervention in the Arabian Peninsula and the Arab conquests, noblewomen ruled independently, conducting trade and making war. Their power was often celebrated as queen, priestess and goddess. With time they delegated power to the most important holy men of their age, influencing Arabian paganism, Christianity and Islam forever. 
  Empress Zenobia and queen Mavia supported bishops Paul of Samosata and Moses of Sinai. Paul was declared a heretic by the Roman church. Moses began the process of mass Arab conversion. The teachings of these men survived under their queens, setting in motion seismic debates that would fracture the early churches and lay the groundwork for the rise of Islam. In Mecca, lady Khadijah used her wealth and political influence to employ a younger man then marry him against the wishes of dissenting noblemen. Her husband, whose religious and political career was influenced by her, was the prophet Muhammad. 
  Long overdue, Queens and Prophets is a landmark exploration of the legacy of female power in late antique Arabia.
