  Alison Shamir was at the top of her game—corporate leadership role, large salary, financial freedom—when a crippling panic attack almost brought her to her knees. Fraud. Deceiver. Imposter. In her mind, she had faked her way into her position, and it was only a matter of time before she was “found out.” But guess what? None of it was true. 
  During her mission to understand her anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, Alison discovered Imposter Syndrome, and the pieces all fell into place. Finally, her life made sense. She wasn’t alone—and neither are you. 
  Conquer Your Imposter™ is a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. Through her personal story, eye-opening anecdotes, and practical tools and research, Alison—now a global leading expert on the Imposter Phenomenon with over a decade of experience—guides you to understand and conquer your own unfounded fear, doubt, and anxious feelings of not being “good enough.” 
  Don’t let your inner imposter hold you back anymore. It’s time to take back control and unleash the most authentic, empowered, and unapologetically confident version of you. 
  It’s Time to Conquer Your Imposter For Good.

  A concise history of the goddess-like figures who evade both Christian and pagan traditions, from the medieval period to the present day 
   
   
   
  In this riveting account, renowned scholar Ronald Hutton explores the history of deity-like figures in Christian Europe. Drawing on anthropology, archaeology, literature, and history, Hutton shows how hags, witches, the fairy queen, and the Green Man all came to be, and how they changed over the centuries. 
   
   
    
  Looking closely at four main figures—Mother Earth, the Fairy Queen, the Mistress of the Night, and the Old Woman of Gaelic tradition—Hutton challenges decades of debate around the female figures who have long been thought versions of pre-Christian goddesses. He makes the compelling case that these goddess figures found in the European imagination did not descend from the pre-Christian ancient world, yet have nothing Christian about them. It was in fact nineteenth-century scholars who attempted to establish the narrative of pagan survival that persists today.

  All Our Trials - Prisons...

  During the 1970s, grassroots women activists in and outside of prisons forged a radical politics against gender violence and incarceration. Emily L. Thuma traces the making of this anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial and economic justice, prisoners' and psychiatric patients' rights, and gender and sexual liberation. 
   
   
   
  All Our Trials explores the organizing, ideas, and influence of those who placed criminalized and marginalized women at the heart of their antiviolence mobilizations. This activism confronted a "tough on crime" political agenda and clashed with the mainstream women's movement's strategy of resorting to the criminal legal system as a solution to sexual and domestic violence. Drawing on extensive archival research and first-person narratives, Thuma weaves together the stories of mass defense campaigns, prisoner uprisings, broad-based local coalitions, national gatherings, and radical print cultures that cut through prison walls. In the process, she illuminates a crucial chapter in an unfinished struggle—one that continues in today's movements against mass incarceration and in support of transformative justice.

It investigates the sociocultural, economic, and political factors that contribute to an individual's sense of happiness and satisfaction.

  The Sociology of Fear examines the societal impact of fear and anxiety, analyzing how fear is constructed and manipulated within society. This book discusses the role of fear in social control, the media's portrayal of fear, and how fear shapes political, economic, and social decisions.

  Medieval Conspiracy Theories:...

  Editors Charles River

  Few eras are easier to let the imagination run wild than the Middle Ages, which have often been coined the Dark Ages based on a perceived lack of progress and information. Indeed, we can say that it is not completely unfounded because we know less about that historical period compared to those that come after it. In addition, it is a period marked by a great number of deaths caused by plague epidemics, crusades, and inquisitorial persecutions. Often, researchers are not even sure how and why certain events happened, and these mysteries still occupy the attention of historians. 
  	This era was very harsh, difficult, and often gloomy. In that greyness, burdened by various fears, people were looking for something that would light up their lives and bring them a feeling of beauty and joy. People experienced all things and events around them more intensely than people do today. They often exaggerated the events that happened, giving them a mystical and divine character. For this reason, medieval sources are taken with a grain of salt and are first carefully examined before believing.  
  	At the same time, some historical mysteries about the era may never be solved, if only because the relevant excavated material has been lost or the archaeological site has been destroyed. In other cases, it is because new evidence is unlikely to emerge, or the surviving evidence is too vague to lead to a consensus. Of course, the lack of answers only makes these enigmas more intriguing.  
  	Similarly, few stories have the power to mesmerize as much as unsolved mysteries, so codes and missing puzzle pieces fill people with excitement and intrigue. What did a source want to say with that coded message? What mysteries did they hide?
