  For several years before his death Professor William James cherished the purpose of stating his views on certain problems of metaphysics in a book addressed particularly to readers of philosophy.  He began the actual writing of this 'introductory text-book for students in metaphysics,' as he once called it, in March, 1909, and to complete it was at last his dearest ambition.  But illness, and other demands on his diminished strength, continued to interfere, and what is now published is all that he had succeeded in writing when he died in August, 1910. - Summary by Henry James, Jr.

  This collection of 80 poems is meant to bring encouragement and inspiration to anyone who has ever thought, or dreamed, of writing, whether personally or professionally. Writing takes many forms, whether it’s a letter, diary, blog, article, story, play, poem or novel. I will confess my writing leans in favor of fiction. 
  These poems are also meant for readers because we cannot have one without the other. The goal of any author is to have universal appeal. Thank you for considering the work of this author.

  Originally written in 1944 by the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.), the wartime predecessor to the CIA, the Simple Sabotage Field Manual is a fascinating and often startling guide to subtle disruption during World War II. Designed to be used by ordinary citizens behind enemy lines, this manual offered clever, low-risk ways to undermine operations—from misfiling paperwork to tampering with machinery and stalling meetings. 
  Both a historical curiosity and a chillingly relevant study in passive resistance, the manual outlines how small acts of obstruction—carried out consistently and quietly—could grind an enemy’s war machine to a halt. With its dryly practical tone and surprising creativity, Simple Sabotage Field Manual reveals the hidden tactics of psychological warfare, bureaucratic interference, and grassroots defiance. 
  Narrated with gripping precision by Russ Jankovitz, this audiobook brings the shadowy ingenuity of World War II espionage to life, offering listeners a window into how everyday people were weaponized to fight tyranny from within.

  Reshaping EU Democracy Support...

  This edited volume offers a critical analysis of the complex and contested field of European Union democracy support and democratic practices in its Eastern and Southern neighbourhoods. Drawing on extensive empirical and discourse research developed within the SHAPEDEM-EU project, and focusing on six case studies (Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Lebanon, Palestine and Tunisia), it examines how the EU's democratic commitments are articulated, challenged and implemented in diverse neighbouring contexts. While democracy support is officially framed as a central pillar of EU foreign policy, this volume addresses the persistent gap between rhetoric and practical implementation. By combining discourse analysis with an investigation of policy instruments, it highlights how democracy is both narrated and enacted by the EU, revealing contrasts between its stated normative aspirations and interests.
  By integrating discursive and behavioural perspectives, the volume offers insights into how the EU can rethink and reshape its democracy support and practices in its Eastern and Southern neighbourhoods. It highlights the need to move beyond symbolic commitments toward more inclusive, context-sensitive and socially empowering practices. Ultimately, it invites critical reflection on how the EU should strengthen its credibility and effectiveness as a supporter of democracy in an increasingly complex and contested regional landscape.

  Antebellum Women - Private...

  How did diverse women in America understand, explain, and act upon their varied constraints, positions, responsibilities, and worldviews in changing American society between the end of the Revolution and the beginning of the Civil War? Antebellum Women: Private, Public, Partisan answers the question by going beyond previous works in the field. The authors identify three phases in the changing relationship of women to civic and political activities. They first situate women as "deferential domestics" in a world of conservative gender expectations; then map out the development of an ideology that allowed women to leverage their familial responsibilities into participation as "companionate co-workers" in movements of religion, reform, and social welfare; and finally trace the path of those who followed their causes into the world of politics as "passionate partisans." The book includes a selection of primary documents that encompasses both well-known works and previously unpublished texts from a variety of genre
