  Romantic Things - A Tree A Rock...

  Mary Jacobus

  Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.

  In this heart-warming story, we follow the story of a loving father who, on the eve of his son's wedding, gifts him an acre of land - a symbolic gesture that sparks a captivating exploration into the rich tapestry of African American history and the quest for liberation and prosperity. 
  As the father and son stand on the lush acre, the father recounts the persistent legacies of resilience and hope forged by their ancestors in the face of adversity. The characters engage in profound conversations about the promises of "forty acres and a mule" and the Biblical tale of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land, drawing powerful parallels that span generations and cultures. 
  As the story unfolds, the father soberly reflects on the historical injustices and land dispossession experienced by African Americans, highlighting the importance of landownership as a path to economic autonomy, vibrant health, and intergenerational wealth. Together, they rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit and determination that has long coursed through the veins of Black America, propelled by the belief that freedom and prosperity can only be fully realized once every family owns at least a piece of land, free from debt. 
  Through the intimate exchanges between father and son, their bond transcending time, "The Black Promise Land: A Father's Gift and a Legacy Reclaimed" inspires readers to embrace their roots, tap into the collective resilience that shapes African American history, and forge a new chapter of landownership and prosperity for themselves and generations to come. As the story culminates with the son stepping forward into married life, armed with the knowledge of his ancestral wisdom and an acre of promise, the reader is left with a renewed sense of purpose, determination, and hope for a brighter future.

  SELF-REGULATION SKILLS - How To...

  Self-regulation can be defined in various ways. In the most basic sense, it involves controlling one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts to pursue long-term goals. More specifically, emotional self-regulation refers to managing disruptive emotions and impulses. In other words, to think before acting. It also reflects the ability to cheer yourself up after disappointments and work in a way consistent with your deepest values. 
  It's easy to see how a lack of self-regulation will cause problems in life. A child who yells or hits other children out of frustration will not be famous among peers and may face reprimands at school. An adult with poor self-regulation skills may lack self-confidence and self-esteem and have trouble handling stress and frustration. Often, this might be expressed in anger or anxiety. In more severe cases, it may be diagnosed as a mental disorder. 
  Self-regulation is also essential because it allows you to follow your deeply held values or social conscience and express yourself appropriately. If you value academic achievement, it will enable you to study instead of slack off before a test. 
  Many students do not possess the self-regulatory skills they need to become high academic performers.  
  Some students have found ways to regulate their learning and develop a system of control that shields them from motivational interference and conflict. Limiting distractions and using music to tune out distractions are students' most common self-regulatory strategies to manage motivational interference and conflict. Other students use athletics.

  The English Civil Wars - 1640-1660

  A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an acclaimed historian. 
   
   
   
  The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule. 
   
   
   
  In this wonderfully listenable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins—the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's rule and the Restoration—while aiming to reveal something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and the concerns of later generations.
