Beschreibung

In "Town Versus Country," Mary Russell Mitford embarks on a vivid exploration of the dichotomy between urban and rural life, encapsulating the essence of early 19th-century England. Through a series of poignant and richly detailed sketches, Mitford employs a conversational yet incisive literary style, merging realism with her characteristic wit. The work reflects the broader Romantic context of her time, capturing nature's sublime beauty while critiquing the burgeoning industrial society. Her keen observations invite readers to reflect on the contrasting virtues and vices of both realms, fostering an appreciation for the simpler, slower rhythms of country life amidst the hectic pace of the city. Mary Russell Mitford (1786-1855) was an influential English novelist and playwright who drew upon her upbringing in the pastoral village of Three Mile Cross. Her fondness for the countryside and its inhabitants heavily influenced her writing. Mitford's personal experiences, including her struggles with health and financial difficulties, shaped her perspective on the stark realities of both rural communities and urban societies, making her reflections deeply personal and relatable. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the historical nuances of English literature and the Romantic period. Mitford's insights resonate today, encouraging a critical examination of the values associated with urbanization and the pastoral ideal. Whether you are a scholar or a casual reader, "Town Versus Country" offers a timeless dialogue on the joys and challenges of both lifestyles.

    We must be in excellent emotional and mental health, or we will adopt problematic behaviors. Anxiety is America's number one mental health condition. People describe becoming too self-conscious and having self-inhibiting tendencies as a consequence. Around the time they start school, most individuals suffer full-blown anxiety. They are impressionable at this age and might quickly become sensitive to the numerous forces around them. 
    Unfortunately, once worry enters the victim's head, it may be challenging to overcome, mainly if the sufferer is not proactive, leading to a life driven by inferiority. 
    People should treat their mental health as seriously as they do their physical health. Bad mental health would do much more harm than poor physical health ever could. 
    Among the topics covered in this guide are:How to Overcome Negativity and Limiting BeliefsTechniques for remaining calmHow to overcome your anxieties and overcome anxiety disordersMeditation's AdvantagesHow to Become More Self-AwareSuggestions for Improving Your Social Skills

    In 2007, after almost 40 years of operations, the SAS ceased operations in Northern Ireland and ended the longest operational commitment in the unit's history. It had been a brutal and ruthless conflict on both sides with the SAS famously describing its attitude to the use of lethal force as 'Big Boys' Rules'. Anyone suspect caught with a gun or bomb could expect to be shot without question.Starting in 1969, Mark Urban reveals the extraordinary history of the special forces' operations in Northern Ireland and the unenviable dilemmas faced by intelligence chiefs engaged in a daily struggle against one of the world's most sophisticated terrorist organisations.'This is a book that needed to be written and which fulfils the essentials of any Ulster story; it expands understanding beyond fragmented jingoism and newspaper headlines.'

    A gripping and unflinching examination of one of the darkest chapters in modern history and the global forces that allowed it to unfold. 
    Between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia endured unimaginable horror under the Khmer Rouge regime, where nearly two million lives were lost to systematic brutality, starvation, and mass executions. But this is not just the story of a ruthless dictatorship; it is the story of how international powers, driven by Cold War rivalries and geopolitical interests, turned a blind eye and sometimes actively enabled the rise and reign of terror. 
    Drawing on newly uncovered documents, survivor testimonies, and incisive analysis, this book reveals the tangled web of political alliances, foreign interventions, and diplomatic failures that contributed to the genocide. From secret bombings and covert support to the paralysis of the United Nations, it exposes how global dynamics shaped Cambodia’s fate, allowing one of history’s greatest atrocities to remain hidden for decades. 
    The Cambodian Genocide challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about international responsibility, the cost of political indifference, and the enduring scars left on a nation. It is a vital, haunting reminder of how the world’s silence can become complicit in the darkest of crimes — and a call never to forget the lessons of history.

    “One of the nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders” (Washington Post), a New York Times bestselling author, community organizer, investigative journalist, Ivy League professor, and former head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous draws from a life lived on America’s racial fault line to deliver a series of gripping and lively parables that call on each of us to reconcile, heal, and work fearlessly to make America one nation. 
    Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own.The son of parents who had to leave Maryland because their cross-racial marriage was illegal, Ben Jealous’ lively, courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past deeply-cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now. Along the way Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including:Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder?How did racial profiling kill an American president?What happens when a Ku Klux Klansman wrestles with what Jesus actually said? How did Dave Chappelle know the DC Snipers were Black? Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks?When is what we have collectively forgotten about race more important than what we actually know?What do the most indecipherable things our elders say tell us about ourselves? 
     Told as a series of parables, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free features intimate glimpses of political, and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp, Stacey Abrams, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable, a female pirate from Madagascar, a long lost Irishman, a death row inmate, and a man with a confederate flag over his heart. 
    More than anything, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free offers readers hope America’s oldest wounds can heal and her oldest divisions be overcome.
