Sinossi

In "The History of Fugitive Slaves (1619-1865)," Marion Gleason McDougall meticulously chronicles the harrowing experiences and the significant narratives of enslaved individuals who dared to escape their bondage in America. Delving into a rich spectrum of primary sources, McDougall employs a blend of historical analysis and narrative storytelling to illuminate the multifaceted lives of fugitive slaves, offering a comprehensive examination of their quests for freedom. The text situates itself within the broader literary contexts of abolitionist literature and slave narratives, illustrating the intersections of personal agency and systemic oppression that characterized this tumultuous period in American history. Marion Gleason McDougall, a distinguished historian and advocate for social justice, has devoted significant portions of her career to exploring the complexities of slavery and its aftermath in the United States. Her extensive research is deeply rooted in a commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and understanding the socio-political frameworks that have perpetuated inequality. These motivations inform her passionate portrayal of fugitive slaves as agents within their own stories, encouraging readers to confront the legacy of slavery. This essential volume is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, offering a profound understanding of the struggle for freedom that shaped American identity. McDougall's erudite yet accessible writing invites readers to engage critically with history and to appreciate the resilience and courage of those who sought to escape oppression, making it a vital addition to the discourse on American slavery.

    How to break an arrogant jock? 
    Coach Davis should be happy. His team is on a winning streak. And his arrogant star quarterback, Wade Johnson, has finally learned to shut up and do what he’s told. It turns out that all Wade needed was a firm hand... and the threat of blackmail. 
    Now the coach has Wade in a special kind of training. Properly broken and conditioned, Wade is going to be one hell of a player. And an even better sex slave. 
    There’s just one problem-- Wade is holding on to a secret. Someone else had already given the cocky straight boy a taste for being used and dominated. And no matter what the coach threatens, Wade won’t give up the guy’s name. 
    The coach doesn’t like to share. So he’s going to find out who Wade is protecting. Wade’s got to learn that he has no one to turn to. No one to trust. No one who’s going to ride to his rescue. Wade’s got to learn that he belongs to the coach. 
    And no one else.

    This book contains three kinds of therapy: 
    Psychosexual Therapy - Psychosexual therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to address psychological factors that impact a person's sexual health and intimacy. It explores the complex relationship between emotional well-being, physical health, and sexual experiences. Often, psychosexual therapy is sought by individuals or couples experiencing challenges in their sexual relationships, such as low libido, sexual dysfunction, or communication difficulties around intimacy. 
    Narrative Therapy - Narrative therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as the authors of their own stories. This perspective emphasizes that people are not defined by their problems, but rather by the way they relate to and interpret their experiences. The central premise of narrative therapy is that we can rewrite our stories, even the ones shaped by challenges, in ways that empower us to lead fulfilling lives. 
    Solution-Focused Brief Therapy - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a collaborative, goal-directed approach to therapy that emphasizes finding solutions to clients' problems rather than focusing extensively on the problems themselves. This method arose in the 1980s, developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee. The therapy stands apart from traditional problem-focused therapies by its strength-based philosophy, its reliance on the client’s own resources, and its focus on the future rather than the past. It offers a clear, practical approach that fosters rapid change and is often used in a brief therapy setting, making it highly efficient for clients seeking to improve their situations in a short amount of time.

    Living With My Century - A Memoir

    Professor Eda Sagarra, born in 1933, has been a significant and influential figure in Irish and European academic policy-making, contributing to the early development of the Erasmus scheme. Now, aged nearly 88, this memoir gives striking evidence of her self-discipline and formidable energy. This substantial memoir by one of the foremost female academics in Ireland starts with Sagarra's own perspective on committing her life story to history during the pandemic lockdown of 2020:
    The following memoir recalls for those born in the present century and schooled without the strong sense of Irish history, which defined our people from the Great Famine of the 1840s until recent times, what it was like to grow up as a woman in the twentieth century and seek a career in a man's world. It tries to re-capture as much what it felt like to the person experiencing it as what was happening in society. Younger people today who read of the restrictions to which women were subject in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, will find it difficult to comprehend why our generation and the one that followed ours didn't challenge them. But probably the greatest contrast between the Ireland of then and now was the room for manoeuvre – or rather the absence of it. Today our lives are premised on a constantly changing world. Ireland is more connected across the globe than ever it was. Today most people are mobile. The Ireland when I was young was in almost every respect a static, hierarchical and paternalist society, one in which the accident of your birth would generally determine your whole life. No life is representative, but every person's experience is unique and worth recording for those who come after us. 
    A south Dublin convent girl, Sagarra probes childhood and family, schooling, and UCD — with a perceptive commentary on the Ireland of the 1930s and 1940s. Her remarkable memory and shrewd eye for detail present at times a painfully honest account of family and in the upper middle-class world of Catholic south Dublin, revealing the profound influence of Europe during her postgraduate years in post-war Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
    Running through this forensic account of her academic life is a keen awareness of the constant if subtle barriers to female advancement.
    
    For contemporary critics reconstructing the history of gender equality in Ireland and for readers of feminist history, this makes for essential reading. Her description of retirement since 1998 is colourful, poignant and revealing, and her reflections on old age and youth resonate.

    Panic attacks are sudden and intense episodes of overwhelming fear or anxiety. They can arise unexpectedly or in response to specific triggers, and typically reach their peak within minutes. During a panic attack, individuals may experience a rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and a sense of impending doom or loss of control. Other symptoms can include nausea, stomach pain, chills, or hot flashes. 
      
    These attacks can be very distressing, often leading individuals to fear they are having a heart attack or going crazy. Despite their intensity, panic attacks are generally not physically harmful. They can disrupt daily life and lead to avoidance behaviors if untreated. Effective treatments, such as therapy and medication, are available to help manage panic disorder and reduce the frequency and severity of panic attacks.
