Native American Tribes - The...

Kelly Mass

This book consists of five titles related to Native American history, which are the following: 
1 - Geronimo: Geronimo, a legendary Apache leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band, played a pivotal role in resisting Mexican and American military forces during the 19th century. Between 1850 and 1886, he worked with warriors from three other Chiricahua Apache bands to carry out daring raids and resist encroachments on Apache lands. 
2 - Pocahontas: Pocahontas was a Native American woman from the Powhatan-speaking tribe, most famous for her connection to the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of Tsenacommacah, a confederation of about 30 Algonquian-speaking tribes in the Tidewater region of Virginia. 
3 - Pontiac's War: Pontiac's War, also referred to as Pontiac's Conspiracy or Pontiac's Rebellion, was a significant conflict that emerged in the aftermath of the French and Indian War (1754–1763). In 1763, a coalition of Native American tribes, disillusioned with the increasing British presence and control in the Great Lakes region, united under the leadership of the Odawa chieftain Pontiac. 
4 - Seminole Wars: The Seminole Wars, also known as the Florida Wars, were a series of three interconnected military conflicts that took place in Florida between the United States and the Seminole people, a group of Native Americans who had established themselves in the region during the early 1700s. 
5 - Trail of Tears: The Trail of Tears was a harrowing series of forced relocations that took place between 1830 and 1850, impacting approximately 60,000 American Indians from the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." These tribes, which included the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, were driven from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern United States to designated areas in the west.

Feeling Their Pain - Why Voters...

Jared McDonald

The 2020 presidential election in the United States marked, for many, a return to "compassionate politics." Joe Biden had run on a platform of empathy, emphasizing his personal history as a means of connecting with everyone, from American workers who had lost jobs to military families who had lost loved ones. Although perceptions of candidate compassion are broadly understood to influence vote choice, less understood is the question of how candidates convince voters they truly "care about people like them." In Feeling their Pain, Jared McDonald provides a framework for understanding why voters view some politicians as more compassionate than others. 
 
 
 
McDonald shows that perceptions of compassion in candidates for public office are based on the number and intensity of commonalities that bind citizens to political leaders. Commonalities can come in many forms, such as a shared experience, a shared emotion, or a shared identity. Compassion may be universal, such as when candidates convey empathy to all individuals who are struggling. Or compassion may be exclusionary, such as when candidates express a preference for some groups over others. Thus, the way campaigns choose to wield compassion in their messaging strategies has important implications not only for election outcomes, but for American political polarization as well.

The Worry Trap - How to Free...

PhD Chad LeJeune, PhD Steven C....

Do You Worry All the Time? 
 
 
 
Have you tried to control your thoughts and get your worrying under control? Did it work? If it didn't, try this simple exercise: Take thirty seconds, right here and now, and don't think about something you recently worried about. Think about anything and everything else, but don't think about that worry. 
 
 
 
How did you do? Like most of us, you probably could think of little else except whatever it was you worried about, no matter how hard you tried. This is the problem with trying to control your thoughts: Your attempts to stop worrying very often lead you to repeat and refresh the very worries you're trying to dispel. 
 
 
 
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new approach to resolving a wide range of psychological problems, can help you break the cycle of chronic worry. ACT stresses letting go of your attempts to avoid, change, and get rid of worry. Instead, it shows you how to accept your feelings as they occur, without judgment. You'll learn to "de-fuse" from your worries, observing and then letting them go. Then you'll explore and commit to acting on your values, thereby creating a rich life for yourself—even with the occasional worry.
