  The Irish Troubles - Conflict...

  The deep divisions that came to define the Troubles in Northern Ireland have their roots in centuries of conflict, conquest, and colonization. The split between the largely Catholic Irish population and the Protestant settlers brought by British rule laid the groundwork for enduring hostility. This divide was not merely religious but deeply political and cultural, with Catholic nationalists largely advocating for a united Ireland, while Protestant unionists were loyal to the British crown and sought to remain part of the United Kingdom. These opposing identities hardened over time, especially in the north, where British colonization during the 16th and 17th centuries planted a Protestant presence in predominantly Catholic lands, most notably in the province of Ulster. 
  The 1921 partition of Ireland formalized the division, creating Northern Ireland as a separate political entity within the United Kingdom. While the south eventually became the Republic of Ireland, the north remained under British control with a Protestant-majority government. This arrangement was viewed by many Catholics as both illegitimate and oppressive, fostering a sense of exclusion and marginalization. Protestants, in turn, felt under siege by the threat of Irish republicanism and feared losing their political and cultural dominance. The new state was marked from the beginning by systemic discrimination against the Catholic minority in areas such as housing, employment, and political representation. 
  Tensions simmered for decades, occasionally flaring into violence, but it was in the 1960s that the situation began to unravel. Inspired by civil rights movements elsewhere, Northern Irish Catholics began organizing protests demanding equal treatment and an end to institutionalized bias. The state’s heavy-handed response to these demonstrations, combined with Protestant fears of losing control, only intensified the divide.

  Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award - Multicultural
  Christianity Today  Book Award - Christian Living/Discipleship Award
  Publishers Weekly starred review
  "People of color have endured traumatic histories and almost daily assaults on our dignity. We have prayed about racism, been in denial, or acted out in anger, but we have not known how to individually or collectively pursue healing from the racial trauma."
  As a child, Sheila Wise Rowe was bused across town to a majority white school, where she experienced the racist lie that one group is superior to all others. This lie continues to be perpetuated today by the action or inaction of the government, media, viral videos, churches, and within families of origin. In contrast, Scripture declares that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
  Rowe, a professional counselor, exposes the symptoms of racial trauma to lead readers to a place of freedom from the past and new life for the future. In each chapter, she includes an interview with a person of color to explore how we experience and resolve racial trauma. With Rowe as a reliable guide who has both been on the journey and shown others the way forward, you will find a safe pathway to resilience.

  The Tools by Phil Stutz | Book Summary 
  Important note: This is not the original audiobook, this is an audiobook summary. 
  AboutThe Tools: Transform Your Problems into Courage, Confidence, and Creativity by Phil Stutz, Barry Michels 
  The Tools is a book based on a set of practices designed by two therapists (Barry Michels and Phil Stutz) to offer a way to combat one of the most common complaints they heard from their patients: “What are the specific changes I need to make to help myself heal—what are the actions I need to take to conquer negative behaviors?”  
   
  With these “tools,” we learn to find courage, turn pain into positive action, create focus, develop discipline, and express ourselves fully. The tools in this book provide us with a set of principles to combat anxiety and cultivate confidence.  
   
  For years, Phil Stutz and Barry Michels only shared these tools with an exclusive patient base. Now, with the help of this book, those very same revolutionary techniques are now accessible to anyone—including you. 
   
  Learn how to: 
   
  –Use "the tools" to transform your problems into proper action to move forward in life 
   
  –Step out of your comfort zone 
   
  –Avoid staying trapped in the past 
   
  –Step over anxiety and unfreeze yourself to do things you once feared 
   
  –Live in the present moment 
   
  –And much more

  Oceans Rise Empires Fall - Why...

  Gerard Toal

  In the last few years, it has become abundantly clear that the effects of accelerating climate change will be catastrophic, from rising seas to more violent storms to desertification. Yet why do nation-states find it so difficult to implement transnational policies that can reduce carbon output and slow global warming? In Oceans Rise, Empires Fall, Gerard Toal identifies geopolitics as the culprit. States would prefer to reduce emissions in the abstract, but in the great global competition for geopolitical power, states always prioritize access to carbon-based fuels necessary for generating the sort of economic growth that helps them compete with rival states. 
   
    
   
  The Ukraine conflict in particular exposes our priorities. To escape reliance on Russia's vast oil and gas reserves, states have expanded fossil fuel production that necessarily increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Competitive territorial, resource, and technological dramas across the geopolitical chessboard currently obscure the deterioration of the planet's life support systems. In the contest between geopolitics and sustainable climate policies, the former takes precedence—especially when competition shifts to outright conflict. In this book, Toal interrogates that relationship and its stakes for the ongoing acceleration of climate change.
