Nooks and Corners being the companion volume to 'From Kitchen to Garret'

J. E. Panton

Beschreibung

In "Nooks and Corners: being the companion volume to 'From Kitchen to Garret,'" J. E. Panton invites readers into a rich tapestry of domestic life, weaving together vignettes that capture the essence of Victorian England. The narrative style blends keen observation with an almost lyrical quality, painting both the mundane and the extraordinary in everyday settings. This work serves as a testament to the intricate relationships between space and identity, as Panton explores the overlooked corners of homes and their profound significance to the human experience. The intertwining of personal anecdotes and societal commentary creates a multidimensional tapestry that resonates with both the historical context and contemporary reflection on domesticity. J. E. Panton, a figure rooted in the Victorian literary tradition, draws from his extensive background in literature and history. His keen interest in the interactions between society and its physical environments undoubtedly influenced the creation of this volume. Drawing parallels with his earlier work, "From Kitchen to Garret," Panton continues to explore the thematic concerns surrounding class, domesticity, and the nuanced experiences of individuals within their private spaces. I wholeheartedly recommend "Nooks and Corners" to anyone intrigued by the dynamics of domestic life and the hidden stories within our surroundings. This introspective exploration not only enriches our appreciation for the spaces we inhabit but also invites us to reflect on our personal connections to them, making it a valuable addition to both literary and social discourse.

The Wages of Peace - How to...

Brian Humphreys

It’s getting harder and harder to get by. Inflation. Stagnant wages. Spiraling costs of living. Even in the world’s wealthiest nation, it is too hard to earn enough money to thrive without a tremendous amount of privilege or luck. When so many people are struggling, what can we do? The Wages of Peace offers aspiring economic peacemakers an empathetic, informed perspective on today’s economy and the difficulty of getting by. Reporting back from his work in community development, Brian Humphreys unpacks the core needs of low-income households and communities, starting with living-wage jobs. He then offers practical steps to address complex socioeconomic challenges and become equipped to talk about money, work, and well-being. This includes confronting where our theologies of wealth and work have come up short and naming that when we put profits over people, we pay the price in despair and violence. Jesus calls us to seek shalom in the marketplace and the neighborhood. It’s time to dismantle inequality and work for an equitable peace.

Gringo Gulch - Sex Tourism and...

Megan Rivers-Moore

The story of sex tourism in the Gringo Gulch neighborhood of San José, Costa Rica could be easily cast as the exploitation of poor local women by privileged North American men—men who are in a position to take advantage of the vast geopolitical inequalities that make Latin American women into suppliers of low-cost sexual labor. But in Gringo Gulch, Megan Rivers-Moore tells a more nuanced story, demonstrating that all the actors intimately entangled in the sex tourism industry—sex workers, sex tourists, and the state—use it as a strategy for getting ahead. Rivers-Moore situates her ethnography at the intersections of gender, race, class, and national dimensions in the sex industry. Instead of casting sex workers as hapless victims and sex tourists as neoimperialist racists, she reveals each group as involved in a complicated process of class mobility that must be situated within the sale and purchase of leisure and sex. These interactions operate within an almost entirely unregulated but highly competitive market beyond the reach of the state—bringing a distinctly neoliberal cast to the market. Throughout the book, Rivers-Moore introduces us to remarkable characters—Susan, a mother of two who doesn’t regret her career of sex work; Barry, a teacher and father of two from Virginia who travels to Costa Rica to escape his loveless, sexless marriage; Nancy, a legal assistant in the Department of Labor who is shocked to find out that prostitution is legal and still unregulated. Gringo Gulch is a fascinating and groundbreaking look at sex tourism, Latin America, and the neoliberal state.

Defeating Jihadist Terrorism

Jacques Baud

Since the early 1990s, terrorism and its victims have increased exponentially. Without any action strategy or exit solution, through political and military incompetence, stupidity and ideological blindness, Western interventions have only contributed to its development. We eliminate terrorists, but not terrorism. The solution lies in a more holistic, more subtle, more intelligent and less dogmatic approach. Terrorism is not an ideology. It is a method that takes many forms, including jihadist terrorism. Each form of terrorism is fought with a specific strategy. Based on the original texts of jihadist strategists as well as on their own analyses of attacks in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, Jacques Baud explains the reasons for Western failure. He uses the analyses of Western intelligence services to decipher the mechanisms of jihadist terrorism, in order to extract strategies of action likely to avoid it or to fight it effectively and durably. The author is a former head of Swiss strategic intelligence and former head of UN peace operations doctrine. In the course of his missions in Africa and Central Asia, the author has had several encounters with jihadists in the field. 
This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

Wounds into Wisdom - Healing...

PhD Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, MD...

Our past does not simply disappear. The painful history of our ancestors and their rich cultural wisdom intertwine within us to create the patterns of our future. Even when past trauma remains unspoken or has long been forgotten, it becomes part of us and our children—a legacy of both strength and woundedness that shapes our lives. 
 
 
 
In this book, Tirzah Firestone brings to life the profound impact of protracted historical trauma through the compelling narratives of Israeli terror victims, Holocaust survivors, and those whose lives were marred by racial persecution and displacement. The tragic story of Firestone's own family lays the groundwork for these revealing testimonies of recovery, forgiveness, and moral leadership. 
 
 
 
Throughout, Firestone interweaves their voices with neuroscientific and psychological findings, as well as relevant and inspiring Jewish teachings. Seven principles emerge from these wise narratives—powerful prescriptive tools that speak to anyone dealing with the effects of past injury. At the broadest level, these principles are directives for staying morally awake in a world rife with terror.
