Sinossi

"Antisemitism: Understanding Its Roots and Impact" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of history's most persistent forms of hatred. This timely work examines the complex nature of antisemitism, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day and analyzing its impact on both Jewish communities and society at large. The book argues that antisemitism is not merely prejudice against Jews, but a complex social phenomenon reflecting broader societal issues and serving as a barometer for democratic health.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book covers the historical roots of antisemitism, its modern-day expressions, and strategies for combating this prejudice. It draws on a wide range of evidence, including historical documents, sociological studies, and contemporary case studies, to support its arguments. The authors explore how religious, economic, and political factors have contributed to the development and perpetuation of anti-Jewish sentiment throughout history, providing crucial context for understanding its deep-seated nature.

 
What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach, combining historical analysis with contemporary insights and practical strategies. By examining the intersection of antisemitism with other forms of prejudice and its relationship to broader issues of identity and globalization, the work offers readers a nuanced perspective on this complex topic. It equips students, scholars, policymakers, and concerned citizens with the knowledge and tools to recognize, challenge, and combat antisemitism in their communities, ultimately working towards a more inclusive and just society.

Triumphant Fox - Erwin Rommel...

Samuel W. Mitcham

A military historian examines the strategic cunning of Erwin Rommel’s first campaign in North Africa during WWII. The legend of “The Desert Fox,” German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, was forged in the North African desert conflicts of World War II. It was here, as commander of Germany’s Afrika Korps, that Rommel ignored orders from German High Command and launched his infamous West Desert campaign into Cyrenaica, now eastern Libya.  Driving his exhausted Panzer forces with his indomitable will, Rommel swept through North Africa, where he brought the British Eighth Army to the brink of defeat. Although ultimately curtailed by supply shortages and logistics problems, Rommel nearly claimed the entire region for Hitler. In this stirring account of Rommel’s first campaign, Samuel W. Mitcham, Jr. takes the reader into his subject's strategy, mindset and viewpoints.

Neurodiversity Coaching - A...

Nancy Doyle, Almuth McDowall

Neurodiversity Coaching demystifies the themes and assumptions affecting neurodivergent coachee experiences at work, whilst at the same time exploring the necessary safeguards required for working with this vulnerable group. 
 
The book supports existing coaching practitioners, managers and community leaders to understand the essentials of neurodivergence, a term which encompasses ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and Tourette Syndrome, and how these diagnoses require specific coaching approaches to support individuals to thrive at work. This book is practically focused on the "how", sharing coaching exercises and activities that have been evaluated and researched by authors with extensive experience in the field. Grounded in coaching psychology theory, those with existing knowledge will be able to transfer their skill set to the neurodiversity context and those who are considering learning more about coaching can be signposted to essential knowledge and skills. 
 
Neurodiversity Coaching will be suitable for independent coaching practitioners and internal organizational coaches and managers seeking a coaching approach.

So Who is God Anyway? - An...

G.S. Payne

"Boldly blows the lid off a taboo topic. If there’s one book on God to read this year, please make it ‘So Who is God Anyway?’ by G.S. Payne.” —Reader Views 
"A well-written and convincing rumination on the divine." --Kirkus Reviews 
GS Payne, writer, sleuth, and eternally curious ruminator, investigates 2,500 years-plus of philosophical thought on the subject of God. Using the tools of the philosopher (and a lot of humor), Payne traces the thinking of history's greatest brains to arrive initially at a conclusion on the matter of God's existence; then, a philosophical conception of God that is no less than startling, first because it is nothing like the traditional conception of God (he of the beard and sandals on his throne in the sky), and, second, because it is a conception that not only goes back to the beginning of recorded time, but is recognized by every major religion on earth, and yet has been tragically relegated to the fringes by the louder, more fundamentalist branches of mainstream religion. 
So Who is God, Anyway? delivers splendidly-for doubters, skeptics, recovering fundamentalists, or anyone looking for a fun book to read about some damn big questions!

A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

Rebecca Schiller

It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
 
 
 
Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
 
 
 
In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
