Sinopse

David City Found explores the fascinating question of whether the City of David, as depicted in the Bible, was a historical reality. Through meticulous examination of Jerusalem archaeology, the book presents compelling evidence supporting the biblical accounts of King David and Solomon's era. It delves into archaeological discoveries within the City of David, analyzing artifacts and structures like fortifications and water systems, to correlate findings with biblical narratives. 

 
The book argues that archaeological findings offer verifiable support for Jerusalem's establishment as the ancient Israelite kingdom's capital. It addresses debates about the Bible's historical reliability by presenting tangible evidence from the Iron Age II Jerusalem. David City Found synthesizes archaeological data with biblical texts, offering a balanced perspective while acknowledging the strengths and limitations of archaeological evidence. 

 
One surprising find discussed is the presence of monumental buildings, suggesting a sophisticated urban center during King David's reign. Beginning with the historical and biblical context of King David's reign, the book progresses through major archaeological excavations, detailing findings related to residential areas and public structures. It concludes by synthesizing the evidence, discussing implications for future research and public understanding, making it valuable for biblical studies and history enthusiasts alike.

The Dean - Memoirs & Missives

Sparky Reardon

Sparky Reardon — who dedicated 36 years to his alma mater, the University of Mississippi — was a witness to the best, and worst, of times at Ole Miss. Reardon engaged with every facet of campus life, navigating the wild and unpredictable situations sparked by students (and, at times, by visitors). Reardon found himself in the midst of campus crises where he facilitated the university family through tragedy and loss (some involved student casualties); he navigated intricate battles for freedom of expression on campus (including confrontations with the Ku Klux Klan and loony street preachers); he gently guided students (and sometimes administrators and politicians) through complex judicial issues; and he had a rare, insider’s view of the evolution of Oxford, Mississippi, from a quiet college town to a vibrant cultural hub. In The Dean, Sparky lays bare the joys and hardships of what he describes as “the best job in America.” In 1968, Reardon enrolled at Ole Miss with an eye on law school. Two years later, his plans shifted. Summoned to the dean’s office to account for his role as social chairman in breaking university rules, Reardon experienced a pivotal moment of clarity. As Reardon remembered, “It might have been the result of one of our parties running too late or getting too loud, or perhaps there was a chance that beer was involved.” He realized that someone, someday, would need to take this man’s place. Reardon left that meeting determined to become the dean of students at Ole Miss. Raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a young Sparky Reardon turned to books after a severe knee injury ended his sports days. Guided by inspiring teachers, he cultivated a passion for writing. Artist and author William Dunlap said, “Sparky Reardon’s The Dean is anecdotally rich and beautifully written. His prose — which soars — is once again proof that language is a Southerner’s birth

Summary: Mindset - The New...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., introduces the powerful concept of mindset, which has the potential to impact success in various aspects of life significantly. Based on extensive research, Dweck distinguishes between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where people believe abilities are unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe that abilities can be developed and improved over time. 
Dweck's book demonstrates how adopting a growth mindset can lead to incredible achievement in education, work, sports, and the arts. She also delves into the concept of a "false growth mindset" and provides guidance on embracing a deeper and more authentic growth mindset. Furthermore, she extends the application of mindset beyond individuals to groups and organizations, emphasizing how it can shape the culture of these entities. 
By understanding and fostering the right mindset, Dweck suggests that leaders, parents, teachers, and coaches can inspire personal growth and transformation in themselves and those they influence. "Mindset" offers invaluable insights into the psychology of success and provides practical strategies for harnessing the power of mindset to achieve outstanding accomplishments.

Read & Riot - A Pussy Riot Guide...

Anônimo

From artist, activist, and Pussy Riot founder Nadya Tolokonnikova, a guerilla guide to radical protest and joyful political resistance.
The face of modern protest is wearing a brightly colored ski mask.
Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of the Russian activist group Pussy Riot, is a creative activist, professional protestor, brazen feminist, shocking visual artist, and force to be reckoned with. Her spontaneous, explosive approach to political action has involved jumping over barbed wire, kissing police officers, giving guerilla performances in crowded subway cars, and going on a hunger strike to protest the abuse of prisoners. She’s been horse-whipped by police in Sochi, temporarily blinded when officers threw green paint in her eyes, and monitored by the Russian government. But what made Nadya an activist icon overnight happened on February 21, 2012, when she was arrested for performing an anti-Putin protest song in a Moscow church.
She was sent to a Russian prison for 18 months and emerged as an international symbol of radical resistance, as calls to “Free Pussy Riot” resounded around the world. With her emblematic ski mask, black lipstick, and unwavering bravery, Nadya has become an emissary of hope and optimism despite overwhelming and ugly political corruption.
Read & Riot is structured around Nadya’s ten rules for revolution (Be a pirate! Make your government shit its pants! Take back the joy!) and illustrated throughout with stunning examples from her extraordinary life and the philosophies of other revolutionary rebels throughout history. Rooted in action and going beyond the typical “call your senator” guidelines, Read & Riot gives us a refreshing model for civil disobedience, and encourages our right to question every status quo and make political action exciting—even joyful.

Life under Pressure - The Social...

Seth Abrutyn, Anna S. Mueller

A rare study that transforms our understanding of why youth die by suicide, why youth suicide clusters happen, and how to stop them 
 
 
 
In Life under Pressure, Anna S. Mueller and Seth Abrutyn investigate the social roots of youth suicide and why certain places weather disproportionate incidents of adolescent suicides and suicide clusters. Through close examination of kids' lives in a community repeatedly rocked by youth suicide clusters, Mueller and Abrutyn reveal how the social worlds that youth inhabit and the various messages they learn in those spaces—about who they are supposed to be, mental illness, and help-seeking—shape their feelings about themselves and in turn their risk of suicide. With great empathy, Mueller and Abrutyn also identify the moments when adults unintentionally fail kids by not talking to them about suicide, teaching them how to seek help, or helping them grieve. 
 
 
 
Through stories of survival, resilience, and even rebellion, Mueller and Abrutyn show how social environments can cause suicide and how they can be changed to help kids discover a life worth living. By revealing what it is like to live and die in one community, Life under Pressure offers tangible solutions to one of the twenty-first century's most tragic public health problems.
