  Do you ever feel guilty for being angry? Women and girls are often taught that we are overreacting, or just being too sensitive or unreasonable when anger arises. This bottled-up anger can then lead to inner criticism, self-doubt, resentment, emotional avoidance, and conflicts with others. This repressed anger can also cause a ripple effect throughout the body. 
   
   
   
  In this much-needed guide, a clinical psychologist and somatic therapist reveals how anger creates stress in the body and mind, and offers powerful body-based, somatic practices and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you let go of internalized anger.

  ● Find validation in your anger and other intense emotions 
   
   
   
  ● Move past negative thinking, destructive aggression, and repressed hostility 
   
   
   
  ● Increase body awareness through movement and breathing practices 
   
   
   
  Anger can be a powerful barometer in our lives, but too often it's misunderstood, misplaced, and mismanaged. This book will help you gain control of your anger so you can think clearly, communicate effectively, and channel your emotions in ways that can improve your life!

  The Unreachable Riches -...

  Throughout history, the allure of hidden treasure has captured the human imagination like few other pursuits. Tales of vast riches buried beneath shifting sands, concealed within uncharted jungles, or locked away in remote mountain fortresses have been passed down through generations. These stories, often shrouded in mystery, promise more than mere material wealth; they offer the thrill of discovery, the romance of adventure, and the tantalizing possibility of rewriting history. 
  What makes the pursuit of treasure so compelling is its intersection of myth and reality. While some caches are purely the stuff of legend—stories crafted to entertain or to warn—others are firmly rooted in historical fact. The line between these two realms is often blurred, with legends growing over time as details are exaggerated, misunderstood, or simply lost to the passage of years. Yet, the faint possibility that a hoard of gold, jewels, or ancient artifacts could be lying undiscovered somewhere in the world continues to ignite the spark of curiosity in countless individuals. 
  The search for hidden riches is not just a quest for monetary gain. It is an expression of humanity's enduring desire to explore the unknown, to solve mysteries, and to leave a mark on history. Treasure hunters are often driven by a profound sense of purpose, believing that their discoveries might unveil truths about the past or provide new insights into forgotten cultures. Some searches span decades, even lifetimes, as these seekers devote themselves wholly to their pursuits, undeterred by failure or skepticism.

  Becoming a Cosmopolitan - What...

  The philosopher and author of Beyond Blood Identities offers a new paradigm of persona freedom and moral self-possession. As a Jamaican immigrant arriving in the United States at the age of twenty, Jason Hill noticed how often Americans identified themselves in terms of race and ethnicity. He observed, for example, the reluctance of West Indians to joins 'black causes' for fear of losing their identity. He began to ask himself what sort of world he wanted to live in, a quest that in time led him to the idea of the cosmopolitan.   In Becoming a Cosmopolitan, Jason D. Hill argues that we need a new understanding of the self. He revives the idea of the cosmopolitan, the person who identifies the world as home. Arguing for the right to forget where we came from, Hill proposes a new moral cosmopolitanism for the new millennium.

  One woman's enlightening trek through the natural histories, cultural stories, and present perils of thirteen national monuments 
   
   
   
  Starting amid the sagebrush of Bears Ears National Monument on the eve of the Trump Administration's decision to reduce the site by eighty-five percent, McKenzie Long climbs sandstone cliffs, is awed by Ancestral Pueblo cliff dwellings, and is intrigued by 4,000-year-old petroglyphs. She hikes through remote pink canyons recently removed from the boundary of Grand Staircase–Escalante, skis to a backcountry hut in Maine to view a truly dark night sky, snorkels in warm Hawaiian waters to plumb the meaning of marine preserves, volunteers near the most contaminated nuclear site in the US, and witnesses firsthand the diverse forms of devotion evoked by the Rio Grande. In essays both contemplative and resonant, this book confronts an unjust past and imagines a collaborative future that bears witness to these regions' enduring Indigenous connections. 
   
   
   
  From climate change realities to volatile tensions between economic development and environmental conservation, practical and philosophical issues arise as Long seeks the complicated and often overlooked stories of these incomparable places. Her journey emphasizes in clear and urgent terms the unique significance of, and grave threats to, these contested lands.

  Arameans The: The History of the...

  When the Late Bronze Age system of the Near East collapsed around the year 1200 BCE, the empires and kingdoms that had ruled the region for hundreds of years were replaced by new dynasties and peoples. In some cases – such as in Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon – new dynasties came to power that followed the culture and styles of previous generations. However, alongside them new ethnic groups also came to power, some of whom took advantage of the general chaos following the Bronze Age collapse to migrate to the region. Some of these new waves of migrants entered the Near East from Europe via the Mediterranean Sea and Anatolia, while others came from Arabia. They all brought with them new weapons, ideas, and plenty of new people that eventually helped establish a new, early Iron Age order in the Near East. Among these new groups that came to prominence in the early Iron Age Near East, the Arameans were arguably the most important. 
  	The Arameans entered the historical record just after the collapse of the Bronze Age, and although they were once thought to be one of the factors in the Bronze Age collapse, most scholars now see them as taking advantage of the situation more than bringing it about. Once the Arameans entered the Levant and Mesopotamia, they influenced their new homes to varying degrees, ranging from having little influence in southern Mesopotamia to being a major geopolitical player in the inland Levant. An examination of Aramean history and culture reveals that the Arameans were a people who were not so easy to define, as they had no central leadership, and they often adopted the cultural attributes of their neighbors. With that said, historians, archaeologists, and philologists have identified a definite Aramean culture that at times played a major role in the wider cultural events of the Near East.
