  In 1932, Hazel Ying Lee, a nineteen-year-old American daughter of Chinese immigrants, sat in on a friend's flight lesson. It changed her life. In less than a year, a girl with a wicked sense of humor, a newfound love of flying, and a tough can-do attitude earned her pilot's license and headed for China to help against invading Japanese forces. In time, Hazel would become the first Asian American to fly with the Women Airforce Service Pilots. As thrilling as it may have been, it wasn't easy. 
   
   
   
  In America, Hazel felt the oppression and discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act. In China's field of male-dominated aviation she was dismissed for being a woman, and for being an American. But in service to her country, Hazel refused to be limited by gender, race, and impossible dreams. Frustrated but undeterred, she forged ahead and gave her all for the cause, achieving more in her short remarkable life than even she imagined possible. 
   
   
   
  American Flygirl is the untold account of a spirted fighter and an indomitable hidden figure in American history. She broke every common belief about women. She challenged every social restriction to endure and to succeed. And against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Hazel Ying Lee reached for the skies and made her mark as a universal and unsung hero whose time has come.

  Justice in Dealing with Others -...

  Justice is a fundamental concept that has shaped human societies for centuries. It refers to the principles of fairness, equality, and moral rightness that govern interactions between individuals, communities, and institutions. In its broadest sense, justice is about ensuring that everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness, regardless of their background, status, or circumstances. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including law, ethics, politics, and social relationships, all of which are vital to creating a balanced and harmonious society. 
  The importance of justice cannot be overstated. Without it, societies risk descending into chaos and inequality. History provides numerous examples of injustice, from oppressive regimes to discriminatory practices, that have caused harm to individuals and groups. At its core, justice aims to prevent harm and ensure that people receive what they are due – whether that be rights, resources, or recognition. It seeks to promote fairness, resolve disputes, and protect the vulnerable, while holding individuals accountable for their actions. 
  Justice is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It is influenced by various philosophical and cultural perspectives that shape how it is understood and applied. In Western thought, justice has often been closely tied to concepts such as the rule of law, individual rights, and democratic governance. In other cultures, justice may be framed through the lens of collective responsibility, harmony, or social roles. These differing perspectives reflect the complexity of justice as a concept and the challenges in applying it universally.

  The Sacred Way is not a map. It is not a method. It is a transmission. 
    
  In this companion to The Sacred Choice, Stephen L. Robertson offers a luminous reflection for the soul ready to embody what it has already remembered. Drawing from mystical insight, spiritual awakening, and the quiet wisdom of stillness, The Sacred Way invites readers beyond the threshold of realization—into a life of integration, gentleness, and divine simplicity. 
    
  This masterwork does not teach—it mirrors. Through poetic clarity and sacred resonance, it unveils the quiet radiance of what happens after the spark: when ego dissolves, when becoming ends, and when the flame no longer flickers but simply burns. 
    
  You are not searching anymore. 
  You are becoming the field. 
    
  This is not the beginning of your journey. 
  This is the return.

  The Psychology of Pokémon guides gamers on a real-world quest of self-discovery so that they can Catch ‘em All. And, as part of this examination, psychologists, clinicians, video game researchers, professors, and enthusiasts unravel the mysteries of the Pokémon series by asking: 
  ·        Why is the Pokémon series so beloved by everyone even after we have grown up? 
  ·        What is the reason we trust a 10-year-old to accomplish the mission to become a Pokémon master and how does this affect our own sense of childhood? 
  ·        What can we take away from our own journey of the Pokémon series and its impact on catching them all? 
  ·        How can Ash Ketchum's perseverance and resilience teach us about Grit in the face of adversity? 
  ·        Why was 'Twitch Plays Pokémon' such an inspiration to us all? 
    
  Think you know Pokémon? The Psychology of Pokémon explores how the game resonates with a player's psychological drive toward an emotional sense of wholeness, bonding, and completion as they take part in this epic quest.
