Sinossi

The ultimate companion for the Jane Austen fan filled with her penetrating insights and humor on life, love, and death. “A valuable resource for any Austen lover to use for quick reference or to read through.” —Library Journal Jane Austen is one of the most popular female writers in history, best known for her stories of love, loss, and hope, which are cleverly intertwined with her witty insights into the traits and expectations of English Georgian society.   Here, in this stunning little book, you will be able to read hundreds of individual quotes from her famous works—from Pride and Prejudice and Emma to Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility—each prompting an emotional response, thoughtful musing, or even a little snigger at the wise and shrewd perceptions that Austen had of the world around her.   Utterly charming and very profound, fans of Jane Austen can revel in these much-loved quotes, while a new audience will be introduced to the joys that her books have provided since their publication many years ago. With each chapter focusing on a different theme—from Love & Longing to Female Strength—this gorgeous gift book is the perfect compilation of Austen’s funny, moving, and thought-provoking words.   Content of themes:  Love & Longing  Friendship  Society  Female Strength  Life & Death  Faith  Art & Literature “The wit of Jane Austen has for a partner the perfection of her taste.” —Virginia Woolf

    Are you constantly telling yourself that you'll never be good enough, smart enough, or deserving of any good things in your life? Have the negative stories you tell yourself about yourself become so ingrained that you believe them as truth? Have you ever considered that you—the narrator—may not be remembering everything as it actually happened? When we think about our life stories, we often create an unconscious bias by distorting or eliminating events altogether. So, how can you write your true story—the one that reflects your authentic self? 
     
     
     
    With The Narrative Therapy Workbook for Self-Esteem as your guide, you'll embark on a healing journey of writing and reflection to rediscover your genuine truth and supercharge your well-being. You'll finally get those negative stories you've been telling yourself down on paper—where they'll lose their power over you. Then, you'll be free to create a more mindful, and truthful, self-compassionate narrative, without being influenced by your inner critic. 
     
     
     
    This workbook will help you: examine how your life story has been shaped by your experiences; build resilience, self-compassion, and confidence; expand your perspective on yourself, your experiences, and the world around you; and create stories that reflect who you really are.

    Suspended - Punishment Violence...

    Decades of urban disinvestment and poverty have made educational attainment for Black youth more vital than at any time in recent history. Yet in their pursuit of quality education, many Black families are burdened by challenging barriers to success, most notably the frequency and severity of school punishment. Such punishment is meant to be a disciplinary tool that makes schools safer, but it actually does the opposite—and is particularly harmful for Black students and their families.Focusing on schools in inner-city and suburban Detroit, Charles Bell draws on 160 in-depth interviews with Black high school students, their parents, and their teachers to illuminate the negative outcomes that are associated with out-of-school suspension. Bell also sheds light on the inherent shortcomings of school safety measures as he describes how schools fail to protect Black students, which leaves them vulnerable to bullying and victimization. The students he interviews offer detailed insight into how the lack of protection they received in school intensified their fear of being harmed and even motivated them to use violence to establish a reputation that discouraged attacks. Collectively, their narratives reveal how receiving a suspension for fighting in school earned them respect, popularity, and a reputation for toughness—transforming school punishment into a powerful status symbol that destabilizes classrooms.A thought-provoking and urgent work, Suspended calls for an inclusive national dialogue on school punishment and safety reform. It will leave readers engrossed in the students' and parents' tearful narratives as they share how school suspension harmed students' grades, disrupted parents' employment, violated state and federal laws, and motivated families to withdraw from punitive districts.
