  Spanish So White - Conversations...

  Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally been omitted from Spanish language education in the US – especially in curricula designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English. Consequences of this de-racialization of Spanish language learning include the perpetuation of institutional racisms and missed opportunities to build productive conversations about the ways race and power are enacted through language. Spanish So White is written specifically for secondary and post-secondary teachers who identify as White and second language learners of Spanish. It supports the development of language education that centers a racially dynamic Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional forms of racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his own socialization into Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He invites readers into the work of reconciling privileges they too may share as White Spanish-language learners and teachers.

  Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
   
   
   
  In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
   
   
   
  From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
   
   
   
  ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
   
   
   
  ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
   
   
   
  ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
   
   
   
  This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

  The Journal Of A Disappointed Man

  The budding naturalist W. N. P. Barbellion begins keeping a journal at the age of thirteen. Curious, enthusiastic, and clever, he lives a happy life punctuated by periods of health problems. As he grows up, he earns recognition as a promising naturalist, but his health scares become more frequent and more severe. He's eventually diagnosed with a fatal, unnamed illness, which today we know to be multiple sclerosis. These journals of a dying man capture his frustration at a life of promise being cut short—but they also contain many odes to a life well-lived. His philosophical musings on death, love, beauty, and nature paint a picture of a sensitive young man who managed to fit a full life into his short years. Barbellion is in reality a pen name for Bruce Frederick Cummings, who died two years after the publication of these journals. When this book was published, his real identity was unknown, and early reviewers thought it to be a work of fiction penned by H. G. Wells , who wrote the introduction to the first edition. Though not widely read today, it earned immediate praise and generated strong sales. In the years since it has garnered much additional critical praise, with one more recent reviewer comparing it to the diaries of Franz Kafka , and another calling it simply "the greatest diary a man has written." W. N. P. Barbellion (died 1919) was a prominent voice of the late 19th and early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. The nonfiction literature of previous centuries offers invaluable windows into the minds and preoccupations of earlier ages. The Journal Of A Disappointed Man combines the personal and the universal in ways that continue to resonate with contemporary readers seeking to understand both history and human nature.

  Blended Families: The Wolfpack...

  Blended families ignite triggers faster than any other family structure because they activate the deepest fears people carry. 
  Fear of being replaced. Fear of losing a child. Fear of not belonging. Fear of failing all over again. 
  Blended Families: The Wolfpack Way is not a book about getting everyone to get along. It is a nervous system map for one of the most emotionally demanding family structures that exists. It explains what sits beneath the behaviour, beneath the shutdown, beneath the loyalty binds and loyalty breaks, and beneath the pressure to make everything work. 
  Written from lived experience and grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based education, this book gives parents, step-parents, co-parents, and support workers the tools to navigate blended family life with clarity, compassion, and grounded leadership. 
  Across 30 chapters, you will learn to: 
  Understand why blended families trigger so fast and so deeply. Identify survival patterns in every role: parent, step-parent, child, and ex-partner. Regulate before reacting, so fear stops leading the home. Build emotional safety without forcing closeness or erasing history. Navigate loyalty binds and emotional triangles without damaging relationships. Create a unified leadership team between two adults with different histories. Co-parent without losing yourself, your boundaries, or your identity. Help children feel safe in two worlds without feeling torn between them. Repair trust and rebuild belonging after rupture. Build a home culture strong enough to stand on its own. 
  Blended Families: The Wolfpack Way is part of The Wolfpack Way series by Jyee Byrne, founder of Wolfpack Support Services, and is designed for use by practitioners, educators, and families seeking a shared framework for emotional safety across complex family systems. 
  You do not need to get it right every time. You need to return.
