Sinopse

In "Alone," Norman Douglas delves into the profound depths of human isolation and the multifaceted nature of solitude. Through a rich tapestry of lyrical prose and vivid imagery, Douglas invites readers to explore emotional landscapes that range from melancholic introspection to joyous self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, the book navigates the complexities of both external and internal solitude, reflecting the existential concerns of a rapidly changing world and drawing influence from contemporary literary movements that examined the individual's psyche and societal disconnection. Norman Douglas, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, was deeply influenced by his extensive travels and a diverse array of cultural experiences. His keen observations of human behavior, coupled with his own battles with loneliness, imbue "Alone" with a poignant authenticity. Douglas's diverse background as a writer, poet, and cultural critic uniquely positions him to tackle themes of isolation, making this work a product of both personal and broader societal introspection. "Alone" is not just a book; it is a reflective journey that challenges readers to confront their own relationship with solitude. For those intrigued by psychological exploration and lyrical narrative, this work serves as a compelling invitation to understand the beauty and turmoil of being alone.

    In 1968, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer called for Americans to "wake up" if they wanted to "make democracy a reality." Today, as Black communities continue to face challenges built on centuries of discrimination, her plea is increasingly urgent. In this exhilarating anthology of original essays, Keisha N. Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future. 
     
     
     
    These women draw on their diverse experiences and expertise to speak to three core themes: claiming civil and human rights, building political and economic power, and combating all forms of hate. We hear from Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza, who argues that Black communities must organize to wield increased political power; EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler, who spells out ways to fight for women's reproductive rights; and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who delineates practical, thorough steps toward tangible reparations. Additional incisive essays include those by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner; prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba; disability rights activist Andraéa LaVant; Boston's first woman and first Black mayor, Kim Michelle Janey; and others at the forefront of the ongoing fight for social justice.

    Bedtime stories aren’t just for kids anymore…Do you find that you struggle to sleep, no matter how hard you try to cope with it? Are you always exhausted even though you know that you shouldn’t be? If you find that bedtime is impossible for you to cope with, then this book is for you!As you read through this book, you will build off of the skills from the previous two books, mastering the concepts of mindfulness so that you can feel far more capable of navigating your own difficult feelings with ease. There is a reason that bedtime stories are so recommended for getting children to sleep; after all—having time to enjoy a story allows your mind to relax and allows you to begin to focus more on the moment. You may be pleasantly surprised and discover that through reading these bedtime stories, you will help your mind relax and ease off to sleep.In this book, you will continue the use of meditation that has been built in the previous books. Then, you will be provided with several options for bedtime stories. Each story is designed to be a calming slice of life story about the various adventures (and sometimes misadventures) of Sophie Rogers, a young woman that lives in the Pacific Northwest with her German shepherd pal, Bella. Together, and sometimes separately, they get out and enjoy their lives and the stories of her day to day life can help you to relax and soothe yourself into a state in which you will be able to relax. As you read, you should find yourself calming down and preparing for a night of sleep. Each of the options that are provided to you should be fun and engaging without keeping you up at night.Finally, at the end of the book, you will be given two more traditional mindful meditations that are designed to trigger that state of mindfulness within yourself so you can then begin to relax and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. When you utilize these techniques, you can calm yourself down when you need to, allowing yourself to finally fall asleep.
