Summary

In "The Kings of Israel and Judah," George Rawlinson presents a meticulous historical account that delves into the narratives of the monarchs who governed ancient Israel and Judah. Employing a scholarly yet accessible literary style, Rawlinson synthesizes biblical texts, archaeological findings, and historical interpretations, offering readers a comprehensive analysis of the socio-political landscapes of these two kingdoms. The work is situated within the broader context of 19th-century biblical scholarship, marked by Rawlinson'Äôs rigorous examination of the historical accuracy of scriptural accounts against contemporary historical narratives, enriching our understanding of this pivotal era in Jewish history. George Rawlinson, a distinguished English historian and scholar known for his expertise in Assyriology and biblical history, was deeply influenced by the archaeological discoveries of his time. His academic background and geographical travels, notably in the Near East, equipped him with insights into the complexities of ancient civilizations, informing his interpretations of the texts regarding the kings' reigns. Rawlinson'Äôs passion for bringing clarity to historical obscurities resonates throughout this work, as he strives to illuminate the connections between the rulers and their cultural legacies. "The Kings of Israel and Judah" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, theology, and archaeology. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Rawlinson'Äôs blend of narrative and analysis not only illuminating but also indispensable for grasping the nuances of Israel'Äôs and Judah'Äôs royal histories, making it an essential addition to any historical library.

    This "succinct and eye-opening collection of recent interviews and essays [presents] sober and unflinching analysis" of Gaza's humanitarian crisis (Publishers Weekly). 
 
 
  
While numerous books address Israel-Palestine conflict, Gaza in Crisis brings together two renowned thinkers—American activist Noam Chomsky and Israeli historian Ilan Pappé—to examine why this conflict has lasted so long, who can stop it, and how. Israel's Operation Cast Lead, a 2008 military assault on the Gaza Strip, thrust the region to the center of the discussion. With expert knowledge and deep insight, Chomsky and Pappé survey the fallout from Israel's conduct in Gaza and place it in historical context. 
 
 
  
This revised and expanded edition includes a new essay by Pappé called "The Ten Mythologies of Israel," originally written for the New York session of the Russell Tribunal on Palestine. Also included is Chomsky's incisive essay "'Exterminate All the Brutes': Gaza 2009" and a dialogue between the two writers on "The Ghettoization of Palestine."

    Adoption Unfiltered authors Sara Easterly (adoptee), Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard (birth parent), and Lori Holden (adoptive parent) interview dozens of adoptees, birth parents, adoptive parents, social workers, therapists, and other allies—all sharing candidly about the challenges in adoption. While finding common ground in the sometimes-contentious space of adoption may seem like a lofty goal, it reveals the authors' optimistic aim: working together with truth and transparency to move toward healing. 
 
 
 
Healing isn't possible, though, without first uncovering the hurts—starting with adoption's central players: adoptees, who are so often in pain, suffering from what the latest brain science validates as the long-term emotional effects of separation trauma. By encouraging others to vulnerably share their stories, the authors discover that adoptees aren't the only ones in the adoption constellation who are hurting. Birth parents regularly shut down after being shut out by adoptive parents. Adoptive parents often struggle with unique parenting challenges and hidden insecurity, feeling the need to hide the fact that they are not the Super Parents they led the agency to believe they would be. Across the industry as a whole, misinformed and unethical practices abound. This book models the importance of adults in adoption working together in the spirit of empathy.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
"Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things" by Adam Grant challenges the notion of talent worship in our society. While we often celebrate those with innate advantages, Grant reminds us of our capacity for growth and skill development. He presents a fresh perspective on raising aspirations and exceeding expectations, emphasizing that progress is more about effective learning than sheer effort. Grant's book draws on compelling evidence and stories from various contexts, illustrating that our potential is not determined solely by our innate genius but by the character we cultivate. He explores how to develop the character skills and motivations necessary to unlock our hidden potential and design systems that offer opportunities to those who have been underrated or overlooked. Ultimately, the book inspires readers to focus on the journey of personal growth rather than fixating on the peak they aim to reach.
