Sinopsis

John Addington Symonds' monumental work, "Renaissance in Italy" spans seven volumes, offering an unparalleled examination of the cultural, artistic, and intellectual revival that characterized Italy from the 14th to the 17th centuries. With a meticulous literary style that blends rigorous scholarly analysis and vivid narrative, Symonds explores the evolution of Renaissance thought and its profound impacts on European culture. The text weaves together biographical portraits of key figures—artists, thinkers, and patrons—while situating them within their historical contexts, thus illuminating the intricate interplay between individual genius and collective societal transformations during this vibrant epoch. Symonds, a prominent Victorian scholar with deep interests in both literature and art, was profoundly influenced by his philosophical views, particularly the celebration of beauty and the human spirit. His background in classical studies, combined with his pioneering work on sexuality in relation to art, enabled him to approach the Renaissance not merely as a historical period but as a vital expression of human potential and creativity. His personal experiences and struggles with sexuality and identity frequently infuse his writing with depth and sincerity, enriching his exploration of Renaissance ideals. Readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of the Italian Renaissance will find Symonds' "Renaissance in Italy" an indispensable resource. Its thorough research and rich prose not only captivate scholars but also engage general readers with a passion for art, history, and literature. This work invites continued reflection on the lasting legacy of the Renaissance, making it a timeless classic worthy of a place on every enthusiast's bookshelf.

Couple Sexuality After 60 -...

Barry McCarthy, Emily McCarthy

Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging, Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate, Pleasurable, and Satisfying motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their sixties, seventies, and eighties. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over sixty cannot and should not be sexual, and that the best way to be sexual is to emphasize eroticism, using sex toys, and "kinky sex." 
 
 
 
Using a variable, flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good Enough Sex (GES) model, this book places the essence of sexuality in pleasure-oriented touching, not individual sex performance. Barry and Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of "desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction" with the goal of presenting a healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on important areas like coming to terms with the new normal, female–male sexual equity, satisfaction being about more than intercourse and orgasm, valuing synchronous and asynchronous sexuality, psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality, and more. 
 
 
 
In addition to aging heterosexual couples, single individuals and queer couples will find this book interesting. Additionally, this is a must-listen for sexual health clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of sixty.

Black Evidence - A History and a...

Candis Watts Smith

A fierce exposé of American resistance to believing Black people and its devastating effects throughout history. 
 
From Reconstruction to redemption, civil rights to the Southern strategy, the multiracial protests of 2020 for social justice to the swift elimination of policies etching out a more inclusive, equitable society, Americans regularly experience periods of racial reckoning followed by walloping retrenchment. This pattern is a result of an American pastime: creating and implementing tactics to deny Black truth. Candis Watts Smith explores how Black voices have been prevented from contributing ideas to break these cycles. Distilling four centuries of critical moments in US history, this careful curation of vignettes provides a warning of what happens when Black testimony is subject to exclusion, when Black communities are terrorized, when Black children are transformed into adults, and when Black resistance is pathologized. Black Evidence shows how the ugly legacy of the past continues into our present and prescribes a cure—listen to the veracity of Black voices and amplify it.

Believe Her - How to be an Ally...

Michael James Emberger

“Yes you will absolutely be reborn, yes you will rebuild something more beautiful than before, but essentially a death took place in that moment and that is irreversible…”
-a Survivor
It is an honor and a privilege to be an ally to a survivor of sexual assault. She allows you close to her pain and you help her heal—with no expectations on her. It’s not a commitment to enter lightly.
If Jesus has burdened your heart for a survivor, but you don’t know what to do, start with this book. It will take work, prayer, and patience, but she’s worth it.
The book has four main sections:
1) What it means to be a survivor.
2) What it means to be an ally.
3) How to be an ally.
4) Reach out to her.
My intent is to break your heart and prepare you to be the ally your survivor friend needs. You will learn about the crime, read four other books (listed below), and then, with your friend’s permission, you’ll write a series of letters meant to encourage her and build an allyship. It’s a process designed around her, her needs, and her safety.
And who am I, you ask? I’m no one special, but God used my friendship with a survivor to call me to this work. I’ve had the privilege of getting to know many more, and their voices are found all through this text. My hope is to encourage men to get involved in allyship and advocacy.
