Summary

Language Power Shift explores how language has become a focal point in the LGBTQ+ inclusion movement. It examines the evolution of LGBTQ+-inclusive language across various sectors, from media to education, highlighting the power dynamics at play. Language, often viewed as a tool for unity, can also marginalize; this book argues that adopting inclusive language represents a fundamental shift, challenging traditional assumptions and fostering a more equitable society.

 
The book traces the historical trajectory of LGBTQ+ terminology, revealing how terms have transformed from clinical labels to reclaimed identities. It also shows how inclusive language in policy and legislation can empower LGBTQ+ individuals. By integrating perspectives from linguistics, sociology, and political science, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping language use. It progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to analyzing the historical evolution of terminology, examining policy implementation, and exploring inclusive language in education, ultimately offering recommendations for navigating controversies.

 
This book stands apart through its intersectional approach, recognizing how experiences are shaped by various social categories. Supported by linguistic analysis, policy documents, and original research, including surveys with LGBTQ+ individuals, educators, and policymakers, it offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the power of language in shaping social attitudes.

  • Twelve Days - How the Union Nearly Lost Washington in the First Days of the Civil War - cover

    Twelve Days - How the Union...

    In the popular literature of the Civil War, the days immediately after the surrender at Fort Sumter are overshadowed by the battles and changes in American life. 
     
     
     
    Tony Silber's account starts on April 14, 1861, with President Lincoln's call for seventy-five thousand militia troops. Washington, a Southern slaveholding city, was the focal point. The capital was barely defended, by about two thousand local militia troops of dubious training and loyalty. In Charleston, the Confederates had an organized army that was larger and ready to fight. 
     
     
     
    Maryland's eastern sections were reeling in insurrection, and within days Virginia would secede. For half of the twelve days after Fort Sumter, Washington was severed from the North. The United States had a tiny standing army. The federal government's only defense would be state militias. 
     
     
     
    A Confederate success in capturing Washington would have changed the course of the Civil War. Instead, Lincoln emerged as the master of his cabinet, a communications genius, and a strategic giant. Twelve Days alternates between the four main scenes: Washington, insurrectionist Maryland, the advance of Northern troops, and the Confederate planning and military movements.

    This audiobook is an update to Reality Prism: A Raven Thriller, released by Flamingo Audiobooks. The focus of our book is to describe and explain the myriad of attacks on our Western Culture in general and the United States as the key target and last bastion of freedom. Mind War is the use of sophisticated deception to deceive an enemy, and to plant false images in his mind to allow advantage. It is a military tactic.Mindless War is a phrase that we’ve coined to describe the methods and controls being used destructively by Globalists, the New World Order, China, the Radical Left, and others, to replace the “old order” of countries, independent nation states, with a world of total control by independent, unaccountable elites. Groups like the World Economic Forum and the UN have been working on this for decades.Yes, this is the “Great Reset.” The goals are documented in UN Agenda 2030, and other such documents. That is the subject of our book Reality Prism. The goal of Mind War is to instill fear in a society! “Fear is the Mind Killer.” It drives the loss of judgment. False reality can be used to cause insane, self-destructive behavior.In the past, genocides and tyranny came from force. As Mao demonstrated, “From the barrel of a gun.” Or, as Hitler showed, from military conquest and death camps. Mind War is a much more effective tactic.Recent events show its success in getting Americans to surrender our notions of exceptionalism and all men (and women) of being equal. Our God-Given Freedoms—from the right to assemble, free speech, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, honest elections, freedom of worship, the rule of law, and, of course, at the end, the right to bear arms—are all slipping away.

Every frustration in dog training, every test of patience, is actually an invitation to look deeper into yourself, to confront your own fears, doubts, and limitations—and to grow beyond them. 
    Soul of a Dog – Mirror of a Man reveals how true leadership has nothing to do with dominance or power over your dog, but everything to do with inner clarity, emotional honesty, and authentic trust. By embracing these insights, you’ll find yourself leading a more fulfilling, self-aware, and genuinely joyful life. 
    Inside this transformative book, you will discover:Dogs as Mirrors of Human Nature: Understand your dog's behavior through understanding yourself first.Overcoming Fear and Personal Growth: Face challenges with your dog, turning them into opportunities for courage and resilience.Building an Unbreakable Bond: Foster trust, affection, and cooperation through clear, empathetic communication.Trust and Mutual Understanding: Create leadership based on respect, mutual understanding, and meaningful routines.Transformation Through Shared Growth: Experience how your dog’s honest, mindful nature can guide your own journey to unconditional love and happiness.

    This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each other’s religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.  The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels’ choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

    “I was taught to treat everyone the same.” “I don’t see color.” “My parents voted for Obama.” When white people have the opportunity to think and talk about race and racism, they more often than not don’t know how. In this adaptation of Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s bestselling book White Fragility, anti-racist educators Toni Graves Williamson and Ali Michael explain the concept of systemic racism to young adults and how to recognize it in themselves and the world around them. Along the way, Williamson and Michael provide tools for taking action to challenge systems of inequity and racism as they move into adulthood. Throughout the book, listeners will find the following: · A dialogue between the adaptors that models anti-racist discussions · Definitions of key terms · Personal stories from this multiracial team · Discussion prompts to encourage listeners to journal their reactions and feelings · Illustrations to help concepts of white fragility and systemic racism come alive · Portraits of scholars and activists, including Carol Anderson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Ijeoma Oluo, whose work is amplified throughout Dr. DiAngelo’s theory of white fragility.
