  How do we model abundance and generosity — in teaching, in learning, in leading organizations, particularly non-profits — when dealing with fiscal austerity and other forms of scarcity thinking? Hope Circuits explores this question, presenting sophisticated ideas that support democratizing higher education for everybody.
  		 
  Written in a conversational style that draws upon Jessica Riddell’s experience in governance, senior administration, and scholarship, the book is a how-to guide and thought leadership manifesto for developing the conceptual tools to seek solutions to higher education’s most pressing issues. Hope Circuits aims to rewire mindsets, perspectives, and behaviours to in turn rewire and renew the systems within which university stakeholders learn, live, and work. It tackles this challenging feat by suggesting ten tools to build hope circuits, a concept borrowed from neuroscience. 
  		 
  Riddell acknowledges that changing systems and deep cultures is not for the faint of heart; indeed, the more than 250 interviews conducted with thought partners for Hope Circuits expose how individuals who navigate complex systems regularly experience discomfort and even despair. In response, she shows us how to anchor a practice of hope in higher education with focus and intention, inviting others to adopt and adapt her approach.

  Visualization is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. At its core, visualization taps into the brain's ability to process imagery in a way that can lead to tangible changes in our lives. When we visualize, we engage not just our imagination but also activate neural pathways that enhance our ability to achieve our goals. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to improve their mental health, boost their self-esteem, or navigate challenging situations in life.

  Spiritual Criminals - How the...

  A surprising look at the 28 Catholic radicals who raided a draft board in 1971—and got away with it. 
   
  When the FBI arrested twenty-eight people in connection to a break-in at a Camden, New Jersey, draft board in 1971, the Bureau celebrated. The case should have been an easy victory for the department—the perpetrators had been caught red-handed attempting to destroy conscription documents for draftees into the Vietnam War. But the results of the trial surprised everyone, and in the process shook the foundations of American law, politics, and religion. 
   
  In Spiritual Criminals, Michelle M. Nickerson shares a complex portrait of the Camden 28, a passionate group of grassroots religious progressives who resisted both their church and their government as they crusaded against the Vietnam War. Founded by priests, nuns, and devout lay Catholics, members of this coalition accepted the risks of felony convictions as the cost of challenging the nation’s military-industrial complex and exposing the illegal counterintelligence operations of the FBI. By peeling away the layers of political history, theological traditions, and the Camden 28’s personal stories, Nickerson reveals an often-unseen spiritual side of the anti-war movement. At the same time, she probes the fractures within the group, detailing important conflicts over ideology, race, sex, and gender that resonate in the church and on the political Left today.

  Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

  What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
   
  Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
   
  Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
   
  Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
   
  Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
   
  Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

  复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究（英文）

  内容简介：
  《复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究》在生成语法框架内分析了复数语法范畴在汉语、英语、韩语中的共性和差异，并考察了英语母语者和韩语母语者对汉语复数语法范畴的习得情况。其中，跨语言对比研究以最简方案（Chomsky 2000, 2001; Pesetsky & Torrego 2007）的特征核查机制为理论基础，分析了汉语"们"、英语复数标记-s、韩语复数标记-tul的句法和语义异同，同时也分析了汉语量词重叠的复数义及其句法推导过程。依据特征重组假说（Lardiere 2009），二语学习者需对母语复数表征所涉及的特征集合进行拆分，进而重组出二语复数表征所需的特征集合。本书通过实证研究验证了这一假说，并深入分析了复数语法范畴习得中特征重组的方式和过程。本研究的理论意义在于深度分析了复数语法范畴在量词语言和非量词语言中的表征异同，尤其是在最简方案框架内对复数标记以及与之相关的量词和指示代词的句法推导进行了统一分析，并将理论分析所得出的特征及其组合方式应用于二语习得实证研究中，使母语迁移的内容、方式和结果更加简明清晰。实证研究结果扩展了对量词语言中复数语法范畴习得的认识，深化了对特征重组的方式和过程的了解。
