Summary

Youth Representation Growth explores how coming-of-age stories, particularly in comics, shape our understanding of LGBTQ youth. Comics, as a visual medium, uniquely influence societal perceptions and offer representation for marginalized communities. The book argues that realistic and educational comics serve as powerful tools to foster empathy, promote understanding, and provide positive role models.

 
The book traces the evolution of LGBTQ representation, from subtle allusions to overt depictions, influenced by the LGBTQ rights movement. It uniquely analyzes educational and realistic comics, demonstrating their value beyond entertainment for education, advocacy, and self-discovery.

 
Chapters examine themes like coming out, family relationships, bullying, and community, using graphic novels and comics to highlight narrative and visual strategies, while also considering the intersectionality of race and class.

 
By analyzing a diverse range of comics and academic research, including interviews with creators and educators, the book demonstrates the potential of comics as educational resources and platforms for social change. This interdisciplinary approach connects to fields like education and gender studies, enhancing our understanding of the impact of comics on youth identity.

    During Ezekiel's lifetime, the nation of Israel was in Babylonian captivity. The nation obviously needed deliverance not only from their exile in Babylon, but also from their own dejection. The valley of dry bones is a prophecy that is still relevant to the people of Israel today. As they were promised by God, the people eventually returned to Israel.

    THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    From bestselling historian Saul David, a riveting new history of the British airborne experience across the Second World War. 
    The legendary ‘Red Devils’ were among the finest combat troops of the Second World War. Created at Churchill’s instigation in June 1940, they began as a single parachute battalion of 500 men and grew into three 10,000-strong airborne divisions: the 1st, 6th and 44th Indian, each composed of parachutists and glider-borne troops. Wearing their distinctive maroon berets, steel helmets and Dennison smocks, they served with distinction in every major theatre of the conflict – including North Africa, Sicily, mainland Europe and the Far East – and played a starring role in some most iconic airborne operations in history: the Bruneval Raid of February 1942; the capture of the Primasole, Pegasus and Arnhem Bridges in July 1943, June 1944 and September 1944 respectively; and Operation Varsity, the biggest parachute drop in history, near Wesel in Germany in March 1945. 
    Sky Warriors by Saul David is a Sunday Times bestseller that provides a modern, non-fiction account of Britain's military aviation history in the 20th century. This autobiography of the Red Devils is a compelling read for anyone interested in World War II. 
    For fans of Joseph Wheelan (Bitter Peleliu), Geoffrey Wawro (A Mad Catastrophe), Bob Drury (Throne of Grace), Al Murray (Arnhem), and Antony Beevor (D-Day).

    Aftershock - How Past Events...

    You may be at a point in your life where you realize that you have been edgy, a bit depressed, feeling unsettled. Yet everything in your life seems to be okay. You look for a cause, but you just can't put your finger on it. Perhaps you should examine your recent past—six months ago, a year ago—and ask yourself, "What did I go through that was stressful at the time, yet I was able to deal with by suppressing my stress until that situation was over?" 
     
     
     
    "Aftershock" is a term coined by clinical psychologist Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, who came to recognize this largely ignored scenario in many of her patients. As a subclinical level of the more familiar post-traumatic stress disorder, "aftershock" may underlie your present emotional stress, a delayed emotional response that affects many of us after common, yet big deal, life events such as miscarriage, moving to a new city, divorce, or, for some people, the Covid-19 pandemic that has rocked much of the world. 
     
     
     
    The most urgent raison d'etre of Aftershock is to enlighten listeners to the very presence of this psychological trauma—what it is and what causes it, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to heal when life's stressors keep you in the center of the aftershock of a storm.
