Sinossi

National Holidays explores the significant role these observances play in shaping national identity and collective memory across the globe. More than just days off, these holidays, including independence days and national pride events, are powerful tools for reinforcing shared values and remembering pivotal historical milestones. The book examines how nations express their unique identities through these celebrations, often revealing a country's aspirations and cultural heritage. Did you know, for example, that some holidays evolved from ancient traditions, transforming into modern, state-sponsored events? Or that nations use national holidays to promote social cohesion and address internal or external challenges? The book begins by introducing core concepts like national identity before tracing the origins and evolution of national holidays. It progresses to explore the cultural and social significance of these days, including how they shape national narratives and promote unity. By examining rituals, symbols, and narratives, the book offers insights into how countries define themselves and project their image to the world. The political dimensions of these celebrations are also explored, revealing how governments leverage them to reinforce authority. Ultimately, National Holidays provides a unique and valuable perspective by examining these events through the lens of collective memory and national identity formation. It challenges the superficial understanding of holidays, revealing their deeper social and political significance. The book concludes by discussing practical implications, such as fostering intercultural understanding and global citizenship.

Creating a Better World from the...

Oren Jay Sofer

In this 2023 conversation with Justine Willis Toms, Buddhist teacher Oren Jay Sofer provides clarity in how to increase our resilience and engage more effectively with the infinite complexities of the 21st century. He sheds light on how such qualities as integrity, concentration, gratitude, and generosity lead us to become more skillful in positive activism in the world. 
Sofer reminds us that our ancestors’ village was not the global village of the 21st Century. The ancient ones did not have to contend with a bombardment of reports of mass shootings, wars, and other ecological and social catastrophes. Nor were they being doggedly chased by social media algorithms trying to convince them to consume goods that would soon be obsolete. In today’s climate of overwhelm, Sofer addresses such clear questions as: How do we find the strength and clarity necessary to engage skillfully with these immense problems of our time? What are the inner resources available to us? In our deep desire to be of help, how can qualities such as integrity, concentration, gratitude, and generosity possibly lead us to become more skillful in positive activism in the world?  
Oren Jay Sofer is the author of: Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication (Shambala Publications 2018)Your Heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practice for Meeting a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity & Love (Shambhala Publications 2023)

Socrates Meets Freud - The...

Peter Kreeft

In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis and author of Civilization and Its Discontents, exploring science, religion, happiness, and the pleasure principle.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING EMILE HIRSCH 
A classic memoir that is both an inspiring true love story and a historical espionage thriller, Bau: Artist at War comes at a critical moment when the last survivors of the German concentration camps are dying and the Holocaust is slipping from memory. Includes a foreword by Clila Bau-Cohen and Hadasa Bau and an introduction by Sean McNamara, director of the major motion picture of the same name. 
In a memorable scene from Steven Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List, viewers the world over witnessed the clandestine marriage of two Jews in the Płaszów concentration camp: Joseph and Rebecca Bau. At once a tale of horror and beauty, Bau: Artist at War is one man’s memoir of a miracle: the bloom of love in the depths of a Nazi concentration camp. 
In his painstaking prose, Joseph Bau also shares his experience of other wartime traumas—the bombing of Kraków, the brutality of the ghetto, the harsh last days at Oskar Schindler’s factory—with surprising wit and irony, a tone enhanced by his brilliant black-and-white drawings. Above all, Bau’s story is a celebration of his wife, Rebecca. Married in secret, they had a mutual devotion that fueled their humor, resiliency, and ultimate triumph in the face of unspeakable evil.
