Sinopsis

In 'Tolerance,' Hendrik Willem Van Loon presents a compelling exploration of the historical and philosophical foundations of tolerance, weaving together narratives from various cultures and epochs to illuminate its significance in human society. Van Loon's literary style is both accessible and erudite, making complex concepts understandable to a broad audience. He employs vivid storytelling and rich historical detail, situating tolerance not just as a moral imperative but as a necessary foundation for a peaceful coexistence amidst diversity. The book resonates significantly with the tumultuous social and political landscapes of its time, offering insights that remain profoundly relevant today. Hendrik Willem Van Loon was a renowned historian, journalist, and educator, known for his innovative approach to storytelling and his passionate advocacy for tolerance and understanding across cultures. His background in art, literature, and history, combined with his experiences as an immigrant in America, profoundly shaped his perspectives on societal harmony. These influences are unmistakably woven throughout 'Tolerance,' making it a deeply personal and reflective work with universal implications. Readers seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of tolerance in a world rife with division will find Van Loon's 'Tolerance' an enlightening and timely read. The book not only challenges preconceived notions but also encourages thoughtful dialogue and introspection about our shared humanity, making it essential for anyone committed to fostering understanding in an increasingly polarized society.

    Heavily influenced by Frantz Fanon and critically engaging the theories of decoloniality and liberatory psychoanalysis, Lara Sheehi and Stephen Sheehi platform the lives, perspectives, and insights of psychoanalytically inflected Palestinian psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, centering the stories that nonclinical Palestinians have entrusted to them over four years of community engagement with clinicians throughout historic Palestine. 
     
     
     
    Sheehi and Sheehi document the stories of Palestinian clinicians in relation to settler colonialism and violence but, even more so, in relation to their patients, communities, families, and one another (as a clinical community). In doing so, they track the appearance of settler colonialism as a psychologically extractive process, one that is often effaced by discourses of "normalization," "trauma," "resilience," and human rights, with the aid of clinicians, as well as psychoanalysis. 
     
     
     
    Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine unpacks the intersection of psychoanalysis as a psychological practice in Palestine, while also advancing a set of therapeutic theories in which to critically engage and "read" the politically complex array of conditions that define life for Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.

    Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration. 
    	In fact, the Soviet Union had spent much of the 1950s leaving the United States in its dust (and rocket fuel). President Eisenhower and other Americans who could view Soviet rockets in the sky were justifiably worried that Soviet satellites in orbit could soon be spying on them, or, even worse, dropping nuclear bombs on them. And in 1960, when Eisenhower’s administration began planning and funding for the famous Apollo program that would land the first men on the Moon in 1969, the Soviet Union was already thinking further ahead to Mars. 
    	During the 1960s, NASA would spend tens of billions on the Apollo missions, the most expensive peacetime program in American history to that point, and even though Apollo 11 was only one of almost 20 Apollo missions, it was certainly the crown jewel. only one of nearly 20 Apollo missions conducted by NASA. And to make Apollo 11 a success, it would take nearly a decade of planning by government officials, hard work by NASA scientists, intense training by the astronauts, and several missions preceding Apollo 11. It also cost over $20 billion, making the Apollo program the most expensive peacetime program in American history at the time.
