Beschreibung

Cotton Picking Life explores the often-overlooked world of cotton harvesting and family labor, primarily within traditional textile regions. The book examines how historical exploitation has led to enduring social inequalities while also looking at the resilience of families involved. It highlights how cotton harvesting was incredibly labor-intensive, relying on the physical endurance of entire families, particularly in areas like the American South, India, and Egypt. 

 
The book provides a detailed look at traditional harvesting methods and the dynamics of family labor, including the roles and contributions of children. It also delves into the socio-economic context, analyzing the impact of market forces, land tenure, and governmental policies on the lives of cotton-picking families. By centering the voices of these families, the book offers a unique perspective on the human cost behind our everyday cotton products. 

 
The book progresses from the history and global significance of cotton to detailed descriptions of harvesting methods and an analysis of family labor dynamics. Specific chapters cover social and economic conditions, culminating in a discussion of the lasting impacts and potential pathways toward a more just future, making it valuable for those interested in social justice and labor history.

    The way we treat money is a mirror reflection of how we treat ourselves. 
    We give so much of our power away to the feelings inspired by money and our relationship with it. It’s time to redirect that power… to move from feeling disempowered to empowered… from not good enough to more than good enough… from unworthy to deserving. 
    We need to look at money through a trauma-informed lens. We need to distil the little traumas and the big traumas from our unconscious mind, from our belief systems, in order to change our perception of money to one of empowerment. 
    This book will help you do that. 
    It’s not about the money: 3 Steps to Becoming A Wealthy Woman guides us through the journey from Financial Insecurity to Financial Freedom through the lens of financial trauma and the emotions of money. 
    Catherine Morgan shares stories, inspiring thoughts, practical steps and powerful exercises, distilled through the lens of financial past, financial present and financial future in order to equip you to manage your money, mind and the behaviours that have prevented you from having more money, keeping hold of it and growing it.

    Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
    Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
    Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
    Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).

    A new model of executive functioning which illuminates the somatic, social, and emotional influences on how we make decisions. 
     
    Executive functioning (EF) can be defined as a person's ability to successfully navigate their physical, intellectual, and social worlds. Interest in EF is expanding within psychotherapy, but like many scientific concepts which are adapted to the consulting room, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation surrounding EF within clinical and lay communities. 
     
    In this book, Louis Cozolino—a master of translating complex neuroscientific concepts into digestible, applicable literature for therapists and laypeople alike—is joined by experts Chloe Drulis and Carly Trissler to illuminate how our brains and minds successfully navigate the challenges of day—to—day life. The book offers a new, neurodynamic model of EF that explains the three main executive systems in the brain and the specific ways that they influence how we think, focus, and solve problems. This neurobiological framework highlights the interconnectedness of cognition, emotion, and relationships, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how humans function and strategies to improve outcomes in therapy, parenting, executive coaching, and personal development.

    In the fall of 1943, armed with only his notebooks and pencils, Time and Life correspondent Robert L. Sherrod leapt from the safety of a landing craft and waded through neck-deep water and a hail of bullets to reach the shores of the Tarawa atoll with the US Marine Corps. 
    Living shoulder to shoulder with the marines, Sherrod chronicled combat and the marines’ day-to-day struggles as they leapfrogged across the Central Pacific, battling the Japanese on Tarawa, Saipan, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. While the marines courageously and doggedly confronted an enemy that at times seemed invincible, those left behind on the American home front desperately scanned Sherrod’s columns for news of their loved ones. 
    After Sherrod’s death in 1994, the Washington Post heralded his reporting as “some of the most vivid accounts of men at war ever produced by an American journalist.” Now, for the first time, Ray E. Boomhower tells Sherrod’s story in this intimate account of the Pacific front war efforts.

    A British historian explores the mysterious Scottish culture of the Iron Age and Early Middle Ages whose enigmatic symbols adorn standing stones. 
     
     
     
    The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled most of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages. Despite their historical importance, they remain shrouded in myth and misconception. Absorbed by the kingdom of the Scots in the ninth century, they lost their unique identity, their language, and their vibrant artistic culture. Among their few surviving traces are standing stones decorated with incredible skill and covered with enigmatic symbols. 
     
     
     
    The Pictish Stones offer some of the few remaining clues to the powerful and gifted people who bequeathed no chronicles to tell the sagas of their kings and heroes. In this book, Medieval historian Tim Clarkson pieces together the evidence to tell the story of this mysterious people from their emergence in Roman times to their eventual disappearance.

    An incisive, lyrical, and deeply reported account of India's descent into authoritarianism. 
     
     
     
    Traveling across India, interviewing Hindu zealots, armed insurgents, jailed dissidents, and politicians and thinkers from across the political spectrum, Siddhartha Deb reveals a country in which forces old and new have aligned to endanger democracy. The result is an absorbing—and disturbing—portrait. India has become a religious fundamentalist dystopia, one depicted here with a novelist's precise language and eye for detail. 
     
     
     
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party—a formation explicitly drawing on European fascism—has deftly exploited modern technologies, the media, and market forces to launch a relentless campaign on minorities, women, dissenters, and the poor. Deb profiles these people, as well as those fighting back, including writers, scholars, and journalists. Twilight Prisoners sounds the alarm now that the world's largest democracy is under threat in ways that echo the fissures in the United States, United Kingdom, and so-called democracies the world over.
