Children Across the Divide - Changing Patterns of Violence

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In a society grappling with the devastating impact of violence, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between masculinity and violence in the United States. Drawing on research and real-life examples, it delves into the ways in which boys are socialized into traditional masculine norms and how these norms contribute to increased rates of violent behavior among men and boys.

Moving beyond mere analysis, this book provides a roadmap for dismantling the harmful aspects of masculinity and fostering a more just and equitable society. It calls for a fundamental reexamination of the ways in which we raise boys, the messages we send them about manhood, and the structures that perpetuate violence.

With clarity and compassion, this book examines:

* The historical and cultural roots of violence in the United States
* The role of media and popular culture in perpetuating violence
* The impact of poverty and inequality on violence
* The school-to-prison pipeline and its disproportionate impact on boys of color
* The prevalence of domestic violence and its devastating consequences
* The importance of early childhood education and positive role models
* The need for comprehensive sex education and trauma-informed care
* The power of community engagement and restorative justice practices
* The role of parents and caregivers in promoting healthy masculinity

This book is an urgent call to action, inviting readers to join the movement for a more peaceful and just future. By challenging traditional notions of masculinity and embracing a more inclusive and compassionate understanding of manhood, we can create a world where all children, regardless of gender, are free to thrive and reach their full potential.

The Economy of Rome - Trade...

Rogan Fish

The Roman economy was built upon a complex and interdependent system that evolved from its agrarian roots into a vast network of trade, production, and commerce. From the early Republic to the height of the Empire, Rome’s economic foundation was shaped by its reliance on agriculture, slave labor, and a structured monetary system. These key components allowed the Roman state to sustain its military conquests, support its urban populations, and facilitate long-distance trade across the Mediterranean and beyond.
Agriculture served as the backbone of the Roman economy, with the majority of the population engaged in farming. Small-scale subsistence farming dominated early Roman society, but as the Republic expanded, wealthy landowners acquired vast estates known as latifundia. These estates were worked by slaves and tenant farmers, producing surplus crops such as wheat, olives, and grapes, which were essential to both local consumption and trade. The shift from independent farming to large-scale agricultural estates increased economic disparities but also enabled Rome to support a growing urban population and supply its armies.
Slavery played a crucial role in sustaining the Roman economy. Enslaved people were not only laborers in agriculture but also worked in mines, workshops, and domestic households. The steady influx of slaves, primarily through military conquests, allowed Rome to maintain high levels of production and economic growth. The reliance on slave labor, however, also created structural weaknesses, as the economy was dependent on a continuous supply of enslaved workers, making it vulnerable during times of military decline.

Dark Horse - General Larry O...

USAF (Ret.) General Larry O....

Gen. Larry Spencer, USAF (Ret.) was born and raised on the Horseshoe—a tough inner-city street in southeast Washington D.C. The Horseshoe was a hard neighborhood where fights were common, and the school systems were second-rate. The expectations of living in an all-Black neighborhood were to be good at sports while shunning academic prowess. That environment resulted in poor self-esteem and a bleak outlook for the future. 
 
 
 
Quite by chance, Spencer enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he continued to struggle with the racial turmoil of the 1970s. As a very young first lieutenant, he was assigned to a tough job in the Pentagon, but Spencer earned an early reputation as a fast burner. Spencer went on to serve at the White House, and then successfully commanded a Group and a Wing before being assigned as the chief financial officer (comptroller) for Air Combat Command. During that assignment, Spencer was promoted to brigadier general and was tasked to set up a new Directorate at Air Force Materiel Command. Spencer later returned to the Pentagon where he led Air Force Budget. He ultimately became the Air Force's thirty-seventh vice chief of staff, making him one of only nine African Americans promoted to four stars. Spencer concludes his historic climb with life lessons learned on his journey from the inner city to the Pentagon.

Seasons of Sobriety - poetry +...

Amber Michele Giangregorio

Seasons of Sobriety was originally written as a therapeutic outlet during a period filled 
with darkness. As time went on, however, the writing evolved into something more 
enlightened. The purpose of this book, which begins with the journey toward addiction 
and ends with a sober-curious mindset, is to offer encouragement and inspiration, as 
well as to illustrate through poetry and prose that a powerful potential exists within every 
person, ready to be awakened. The book is divided into four chapters that represent 
the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) because each season 
represents a different phase of the journey: impulsivity, healing, abundance, and 
renewal. As you travel through the seasons, you feel the impact of the poetry as it 
relates to the natural world. The book will start with the darkness of winter but keep 
reading to find the brilliant colors in autumn. If you are trapped in the dark, the poems in 
this book will offer tools and thought-provoking ideas to help you find the light.

Nudges from Grandfather -...

Chris Kavelin

In 1938 the German Reich inflicted a wave of violent, all night attacks on several Jewish communities (Kristallnacht). Far away in Australia, William Cooper, a distinguished Elder of the Yorta Yorta Nation, led a little-known march to the German Consulate to deliver his protest regarding the violation of those human rights. 
How contemporary Jewish and Aboriginal communities re-connected with that protest is but one chapter in a book recounting true stories of many miraculous chains of events. 
Each chapter has its own story, each story its own theme, but common throughout are lessons on the reality of spiritual technologies: following steps of prayerful, contemplative action; acting with ceaseless energy; working mindfully with ancestors; and expressing gratitude for the emerging blessings. 
We are each connected with the spiritual realm. Some may call spiritual forces ancestors, others angels or still others, the names of forms of divine power in their traditions. Whatever their names, these forces work intimately with us when we seek to be of service to others. When asked to perform an act of service beyond one’s abilities or education, there are those in the next world who can make suggestions.
