These war sculptures serve not only as aesthetic objects but also as potent historical documents, reflecting evolving societal attitudes toward armed conflict. From ancient victory monuments to contemporary memorials, the book examines the creation, meaning, and impact of these sculptures, revealing their role in shaping cultural memory.

    “The doctor can make the incision, but I’ll make the  decision.” — Shirley Temple Black“I have a streak of stubbornness and a loud voice.” — Rose Kushner“I believe that one must leave the world a better place than you found it.” — Evelyn Lauder 
     
    There was a time when women’s health was repressed and breast cancer wasn’t discussed, but Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that changed the way society addresses breast cancer.When these “radical sisters” were diagnosed, they faced a medical world of myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was absent, and treatment options were scarce. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn—empowered by their diagnoses—became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women’s health. Their efforts opened the conversation and set the stage for a new era of breast cancer advocacy.Radical Sisters, researched by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, chronicles their powerful journeys. Taking cues from the women’s health and AIDS movements, these inspirational women demanded a shift in how society viewed breast cancer: a cause worthy of public attention and action.More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. They stand on the shoulders of these brave women, whose legacy has empowered generations to advocate for better healthcare, increased research, and greater awareness.

    The Norse Eddas are among the most significant collections of ancient texts in Norse mythology, preserving the beliefs, legends, and wisdom of the Viking Age. These texts, passed down through oral tradition before being written down, provide a glimpse into the cosmology, gods, heroes, and prophecies that shaped the worldview of the Norse people. At the heart of these works are the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, two distinct but complementary sources that serve as the foundation of our understanding of Norse mythology. While the Poetic Edda consists of mythological and heroic poems that likely originated in pre-Christian Scandinavia, the Prose Edda, written by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, provides an organized narrative and interpretation of these myths.  
      
    Norse mythology is unique among the world’s great mythological traditions, offering a vision of a cosmos that is both grand and tragic. The stories contained in the Eddas depict a universe governed by fate, where even the gods themselves are not immune to doom. Central to these myths is the idea of cyclical destruction and rebirth, embodied in the prophecy of Ragnarok—the apocalyptic battle that will end the reign of the gods and bring forth a new world. Unlike the immortals of other mythologies, the Norse gods are flawed, mortal beings who struggle against inevitable destruction, making their tales both heroic and deeply human.  
      
    Beyond their mythological significance, the Eddas also reflect the values, traditions, and daily life of the Norse people. Honor, loyalty, and wisdom are recurring themes, guiding both gods and mortals in their choices and destinies.

    To instruct means to draw forward; the educator should draw forward, be that as it may, likewise, should meet the new person at her or his own level. Be that as it may, what does the instructor draw forward from the youngster? Is the educator like the sun that draws forward the plants? Youngsters in all actuality do grow up, and yet, they descend. Imagine a scenario in which one is showing one's own kids. 
    There are as numerous potential ways to deal with showing kids at home, that is to say, "self-teaching", as there are homes and families who decide to adopt up this individualized strategy to training. Catherine Read decided to display her School-at-Home on the educational plan utilized in Waldorf schools. 
    This book is the narrative of her excursion as the essential instructor of her two girls through the Waldorf educational program from youth through secondary school grade eleven: what she did, when she did it, and why. 
    En route, this adaptable, imaginative, testing, and eventually remunerating way to deal with instruction comes into the center. Rousing and educational, the record of her years as both parent and instructor will be an aid to anybody considering establishing their own School-at-Home.
