Sinopse

Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Queer: A Graphic History, illustrator Jules Scheele teams up with Dr Laura Locker in this comic-book introduction to the political history of the Land of Opportunity.

How did

a political outsider like Trump win the 2016 presidential election? Why do some

Americans feel so strongly about gun rights? Is there a role for more than two

political parties in the system?

Politics

isn't something that just occurs in the West Wing or the gleaming Capitol

building – it comes from the interaction between state and society, the

American people living their daily lives. In this unique graphic guide, we

follow modern citizens as they explore everything from the United States'

political culture, the Constitution and the balance of power, to social

movements, the role of the media, and tensions over race, immigration, and LGBT

rights.

Step

right up, and see what lies beneath the pageantry and headlines of this great

nation.

    If you experienced trauma or neglect as a child, you may struggle with depression, anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem in adulthood. You are not alone. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect millions of people, and have led to many of the greatest unaddressed public health problems facing our world today. If you struggle with shame or lack of confidence, or if you have difficulty creating or sustaining healthy relationships with others, take heart. There are techniques you can learn to heal the pain of your past and take charge of your future. This workbook will help you get started. 
     
    Grounded in the evidence-based approach of internal family systems therapy (IFS), this workbook provides a supportive, effective framework for continued healing. By "reparenting" the parts of yourself that were affected by childhood trauma, you'll learn to build unwavering self-compassion, overcome common relationship and communication challenges, and form healthy and lasting connections. You'll also find soothing meditations, experiential exercises, and other skills to help you regulate your nervous system, so you can break free from the survival mode you've been stuck in for years. Finally, you'll be inspired by real-life stories from other people who have been through similar experiences, and who've successfully overcome their trauma.

    Wait Five Minutes - Weatherlore...

    The weather governs our lives. It fills gaps in conversations, determines our dress, and influences our architecture. No matter how much our lives may have moved indoors, no matter how much we may rely on technology, we still monitor the weather. Wait Five Minutes: Weatherlore in the Twenty-First Century draws from folkloric, literary, and scientific theory to offer up new ways of thinking about this most ancient of phenomena. 
     
     
     
    Weatherlore is a concept that describes the folk beliefs and traditions about the weather that are passed down casually among groups of people. From detailing personal experiences at picnics and suburban lawns to critically analyzing storm stories, novels, and flood legends, contributors offer engaging multidisciplinary perspectives on weatherlore. 
     
     
     
    As we move further into the twenty-first century, an increasing awareness of climate change and its impacts on daily life calls for a folkloristic reckoning with the weather and a rising need to examine vernacular understandings of weather and climate. Weatherlore helps us understand and shape global political conversations about climate change and biopolitics at the same time that it influences individual, group, and regional lives and identities. We use weather, and thus its folklore, to make meaning of ourselves, our groups, and, quite literally, our world.
