Summary

Confidence Building explores the development of self-assurance, arguing it's a learned skill, not an innate trait. The book emphasizes that understanding psychological mechanisms is key, moving beyond fleeting affirmations to foster genuine self-esteem. It highlights the impact of early life experiences and cognitive distortions on self-perception, offering insights into how these factors influence confidence levels.

 
Did you know that reframing negative thoughts is a powerful tool for boosting self-confidence? Or that assertiveness skills can be developed through targeted practice? The book presents a step-by-step guide, starting with the psychological underpinnings of self-confidence and progressing to practical strategies. Techniques for setting realistic goals, managing fear of failure, and cultivating self-acceptance through mindfulness are explored.

 
Each chapter includes actionable exercises. The book differentiates itself by grounding its approach in psychological science and cognitive behavioral therapy, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application.

    Royel M. Johnson and Shaun R. Harper's book, The Big Lie About Race in America's Schools, delivers a collective response to the challenge of racially charged misinformation, disinformation, and censorship that increasingly permeates and weakens not only US education but also our democracy. Royel Johnson and Shaun Harper bring together leading education scholars and educators to confront the weaponized distortions that are undermining both public education and racial justice. The experts gathered in this work offer strategies to counter these dangerous trends.The contributors examine efforts both broad and specific, from restrictive education legislation, to book bans, to twisting terminology like Critical Race Theory (CRT) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), that are obscuring truth in public education. They demonstrate how this narrowing of ideas does a disservice to all students and especially to those who are underrepresented in curricula.Ultimately, the book offers clear, actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and advocates who seek solutions that will counter recent trends and transform educational contexts within K–12 and higher education. This volume advocates strengthening educational alliances through shared leadership, organized collaboration, and parental involvement. It also presents innovative countermeasures to help defend public education.

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau, born in 1712 in Geneva, Switzerland, was a philosopher, author, and composer whose work had a profound impact on the intellectual and political landscape of the 18th century. He is best known for his political philosophy, which laid the groundwork for many of the principles that influenced the Enlightenment and later shaped the French Revolution. Rousseau’s ideas on the nature of society, individual liberty, and the role of government continue to be highly influential in modern political thought. 
Rousseau’s Discourse on Inequality (1755) critiqued the effects of civilization on human beings, arguing that the growth of social institutions and private property led to the corruption of natural human freedom and equality. This work challenged the prevailing ideas of social progress and inspired many of the revolutionary ideals that underpinned the French Revolution two decades later. 
Another of Rousseau's most influential works is *The Social Contract* (1762), in which he presented his theory of government. Rousseau famously declared, "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains." In this text, he explored the relationship between individuals and society, advocating for a political system based on collective sovereignty where the general will of the people would guide decisions, a concept that would later influence democratic governance.

    A journey through trauma, transformation, and the awakening of the human spirit. 
What if the moment that breaks you is the very moment that awakens you? 
After eight years in the U.S. Army, serving with the 82nd Airborne and the 1st Infantry Division across three deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, Edy Lopez knew discipline, sacrifice, and courage. But nothing could prepare him for the battlefield within. When his life unraveled into months of panic attacks, darkness, and surrender, what emerged was not destruction, but awakening. 
Within the Paradox is both mirror and map, a journey through trauma, consciousness, and the science of transformation. Blending psychology, physiology, and spirituality, Edy reveals that healing isn't about escaping pain, but understanding it, feeling it, and transmuting it into light. 
For anyone standing at the threshold of change, this book is an invitation: to stop running, to turn inward, and to remember that you have never been broken, only waiting to awaken.

    Representations of Blackness have always been integral to our understanding of of the modern world. In Black Meme, Legacy Russell, author of Glitch Feminism, explores the construct, culture, and material of the "meme" as mapped to Black visual culture from 1900 to present day. Mining archival and contemporary media Russell explores the impact of Blackness, Black life, and death on contemporary conceptions of viral culture, borne in the age of the internet. 
 
 
 
These meditations include: the circulation of Lynching postcards; Jet magazine's publication of a picture of Emmett Till in his open casket; how the televised broadcast of protesters in Selma enters the nation's living room and changed the debate on civil rights; how a citizen-recorded video of the Rodney King beating at the hands of the LAPD became known as the "first viral video"; what the Anita Hill hearings tell us about the media's creation of the Black icon; Tamara Lanier's fight to reclaim the photos of her enslaved ancestors, Renty and Delia, from Harvard's archive; the Facebook Live recording by Lavish "Diamond" Reynolds of the murder of her partner Philando Castile by the police after being stopped for a broken tail light; and more. Legacy Russell explores the power of these tokens and argues that without the contributions of Black people, digital culture would not exist in its current form.
