The Psychology of Sex (Vol 1-6) - Enriched edition

Havelock Ellis

Beschreibung

Havelock Ellis's monumental work, "The Psychology of Sex," spans six volumes, offering an exhaustive exploration of sexual behavior, identity, and societal norms through a blend of psychological analysis and cultural critique. Written in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ellis's pioneering approach intertwines scientific inquiry with a narrative style that is both accessible and richly detailed. This seminal text not only maps the biological and psychological underpinnings of human sexuality but also delves into broader themes of gender, morality, and the impact of societal constraints on sexual expression, positioning the work within the burgeoning field of sexology during a time of great socio-political change. Havelock Ellis, a prominent English physician and social reformer, brought a radical lens to topics often shrouded in taboo. His progressive views on sexuality, influenced by the early feminist movement and his collaboration with contemporary thinkers, shed light on the complexities of sexual identity and human behavior. Ellis's combination of clinical observation and humanistic philosophy reflects his commitment to destigmatizing sexual discourse, a mission that deeply informed his writing process. This landmark series is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of sexual psychology and the cultural implications of sexual identity. Ellis's insightful analysis resonates with contemporary discussions surrounding sexuality and offers historical context crucial for understanding modern perspectives. Readers will find themselves compelled by Ellis's lucid prose and thorough research, making this work an indispensable addition to both academic and personal libraries.

Radical Cartography - How...

William Rankin

A thought-provoking exploration of how maps shape our understanding of the world 
Cartographer and historian William Rankin argues that it's time to reimagine what a map can be and how it can be used. Maps are not neutral visualizations of facts. They are innately political, defining how the world is divided, what becomes visible and what stays hidden, and whose voices are heard. What matters isn't just the topics or the data, but how maps make arguments about how the world works. And the consequences are enormous. A map's visual argument can change how cities are designed and how rivers flow, how wars are fought and how land claims are settled, how children learn about race and how colonialism becomes a habit of mind. Maps don't just show us information—they help construct our world.Brimming with vibrant maps, including many "radical" maps created by Rankin himself and by other cutting-edge mapmakers, Radical Cartography exposes the consequences of how maps represent boundaries, layers, people, projections, color, scale, and time. Challenging the map as a tool of the status quo, Rankin empowers listeners to embrace three unexpected values for the future of cartography: uncertainty, multiplicity, and subjectivity. Changing the tools—changing the maps—can change the questions we ask, the answers we accept, and the world we build.

Grave Dissonance

Mila Crawford

 have two things going for me in life; music and my best friend. 
My world is black and white because it has to be. I need control to keep myself from spinning. Order helps me stay calm.

I never expected to crave him with such intensity, and now I fear my desires will shatter the only stability I’ve ever known.

Anglo-Ashanti Wars and the...

Editors Charles River

By the mid-19th century, other European powers became interested not only in the exploration of Africa but the exploitation of it, especially once the German Empire unified after the Franco-Prussian War. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so simple, much of Africa would come under European influence in a short time.
For almost a century, the British in West Africa were faced with a powerful and stubborn African opponent: the Ashanti Empire. The Ashanti were formed by alliance and the conquest of the Akan people in the rainforest zone between the West African coast and the Sahel country to the north. The Ashanti fought the British in five wars over the nineteenth century, and they were the only West African people inflicting more than one defeat on the British. War in tropical West Africa was different from most of the rest of the world. The prevalence of endemic diseases like malaria typically killed half of the Europeans posted there per year; it was called “The White Man’s Grave” for a reason. A second factor was the presence of the tsetse fly that carried a disease able to kill horses quickly. Military expeditions were left to move entirely on foot, carrying whatever drafted or hired laborers could carry. There were no carts, no wagons, no pack animals, and no cavalry.

Gender Explained - A New...

PhD Diane Ehrensaft, PsyD...

A Finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction 
 
Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society―and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)―respond? 
 
In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it? 
 
With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.
