Sinopsis

In "The History of Transcendentalism: New England," Octavius Brooks Frothingham meticulously examines the philosophical and cultural movement that emerged in 19th-century New England. Through a blend of rigorous historical analysis and rich narrative, Frothingham delves into the core tenets of Transcendentalism, exploring themes of individuality, nature, and spiritual transcendence. His writing is characterized by its eloquence and depth, effectively capturing the essence of a transformative era in American thought while placing it within the broader context of Romanticism and reform movements of the time. Frothingham, a prominent Unitarian minister and writer, was deeply influenced by the intellectual milieu of his time, having engaged with many of the leading figures of the Transcendentalist movement, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. His background in theology and literature imbued him with a unique perspective, allowing him to navigate the philosophical dimensions of Transcendentalism while addressing its social implications. Frothingham's passion for social justice and reform further highlights the book's significant interplay between transcendental thought and societal progress. For scholars and enthusiasts of American literature and philosophy, "The History of Transcendentalism: New England" serves as an indispensable resource. Fusing comprehensive scholarship with accessible prose, Frothingham invites readers to appreciate the enduring legacy of Transcendentalism in shaping contemporary thought. This work is essential not only for understanding the historical context but also for grasping the transformative power of ideas in the quest for individuality and truth.

    In this "vital book for these times" (Kirkus Reviews), Don Lemon brings his vast audience and experience as a reporter and a Black man to today's most urgent question: How can we end racism in America in our lifetimes?  The host of CNN Tonight with Don Lemon is more popular than ever. As America’s only Black prime-time anchor, Lemon and his daily monologues on racism and antiracism, on the failures of the Trump administration and of so many of our leaders, and on America’s systemic flaws speak for his millions of fans. Now, in an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, he shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them.Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and reflections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.

    Foreword by Cameron Diaz 
    “Reading Kimberly Shannon Murphy’s searing and vividly told memoir is like watching a gripping work of cinema verité: each scene demands our attention as the plot moves towards its dramatic conclusion. A powerful and inspiring story of suffering and shame, resilience and redemption.” —Gabor Maté M.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Myth of Normal 
    A raw and heartening memoir of one woman’s journey from surviving childhood sexual abuse to becoming one of the most successful stuntwomen in Hollywood. 
    “Piece by piece, the on-site medic tweezes the shards of candy glass from my face. I don’t mind the stinging. I don’t flinch.” 
    As an award-winning stuntwoman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you. 
    In Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma. 
    Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn’t about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds—it’s about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history. 
    A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.
