Rise Through Setbacks - Stumbles into Strength

Orrin Veylan

Summary

This book challenges the myth that perfection is the key to success and instead celebrates mistakes as essential steps toward growth. It shows that failure isn’t something to fear or avoid—it’s a teacher, a guide, and often the very path to breakthrough. Drawing on real-life examples from inventors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people, the book reveals how missteps—whether personal, professional, or creative—can fuel long-term achievement. Through stories of companies that recovered from near-bankruptcy and accidents that led to innovation, readers are reminded that every stumble offers valuable lessons.
 
The book is both motivational and practical. It helps readers adopt a growth mindset, offering tools like reflection prompts, feedback strategies, and self-compassion practices to turn failure into progress. You'll learn how to pause after setbacks, ask smart questions, and move forward with confidence. With six core themes and hands-on exercises, this is a guide for anyone—from students to business leaders—who wants to learn, adapt, and thrive.
 
By the end, you’ll gain a playbook for handling both success and failure with clarity and resilience. Most importantly, it will help you let go of fear, embrace imperfection, and turn every mistake into a stepping stone for meaningful progress.

Bulgarian Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Bulgarian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Bulgarian.
In Unit 1 you will hear Bulgarian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Bulgarian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Bulgarian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Bulgarian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Bulgarian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

You're One of Us! - Systemic...

Marianne Franke-Gricksch

In this gripping account of her work, Marianne Franke-Gricksch speaks from her experience as a teacher and therapist, describing how systemic ideas enable fundamentally new and effective learning and encourage creative cooperation between students, teachers, and parents. Rather than viewing the participants in this process as isolated individuals, she shows how people and their environment constantly influence and change each other. Franke-Gricksch's own systemic view connects Bert Hellinger's work on the power of one's bond with his or her family of origin with various other approaches within systemic theory. The author's reports are consistently supported by practical examples from the everyday classroom situation. Especially fascinating is the children's enthusiasm and array of ideas that they use to pick up and transfer the new impulses and procedures. Readers who are new to these methods will also be amazed at the powerful effect that is released by systemic thinking and action.

What Happened to Belén - The...

Ana Elena Correa

""There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
Foreword by Margaret Atwood 
The heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights. 
In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. 
Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021.  
In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.

A Realistic Blacktopia - Why We...

Derrick Darby

The United States is dogged by racism and racial disparities in income, wealth, health, education, and criminal justice. Philosophers disagree on what kind of politics is needed to address this problem. Do we pursue race-specific remedies to undo racism or do we assume the permanence of racism and opt for non-race-specific remedies in pursuit of a more egalitarian society? Paradoxically, the way to make racial progress in racist America is to downplay race. 
 
 
 
In A Realistic Blacktopia, political philosopher Derrick Darby challenges the "small tent" approach by examining U.S. Supreme Court cases on education and voting rights arguing that they hold general lessons about the limits of racial politics. Securing racial justice in racist America calls for "big tent" remedies, and Darby argues that pursuing non-race-specific remedies with maximal democratic inclusion is a necessary strategy for mitigating racial inequality and achieving racial justice. 
 
 
 
A Realistic Blacktopia offers clarity on how racism persists, contrary to claims that America is a post-racial society. Explaining why the myth of post-racialism cannot be ignored in crafting remedies for racial inequality, Darby supplies a principled pragmatic proposal for achieving racial justice. Darby also explains why achieving racial justice requires inclusive democracy.
