Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

"Daughters of the Land: She-Titans of Colonial America" is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the remarkable lives of women who played a vital role in shaping the early history of the United States. This comprehensive and engaging book delves into the diverse experiences of women from all walks of life, revealing their resilience, determination, and enduring legacies.

In the tapestry of colonial America, women were not mere bystanders, but active participants in the establishment and growth of new communities. They cleared land, planted crops, raised livestock, and managed households. They were healers, educators, and entrepreneurs, navigating the challenges of a harsh and unforgiving wilderness while simultaneously battling the constraints imposed by a patriarchal society.

Despite the limitations placed upon them, colonial women found ways to assert their agency and exercise their power. They owned property, controlled their own finances, and engaged in various forms of trade and commerce. They played a pivotal role in the family economy, contributing to the financial well-being of their households. They also made significant contributions to the public sphere, serving as midwives, nurses, teachers, and leaders in their communities.

This book brings to life the stories of these extraordinary women, highlighting their contributions to the social, economic, and political fabric of colonial America. Readers will encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with her own unique story to tell. From the women who defied societal expectations to those who quietly made a difference in their own communities, these women left an indelible mark on the nation's history.

"Daughters of the Land" is a testament to the strength, resilience, and determination of women throughout history. Their stories are a source of inspiration for generations to come, reminding us of the power of perseverance and the importance of equality. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, women's history, or the stories of remarkable individuals who overcame adversity to make a lasting impact on the world.

Maharishi mahesh yogi

Vinitha R, Amol Raikar

"The kingdom of heaven is like electricity. You don't see it. It is within you."

Veda Vyasa, Valmiki, Patanjali, and Ramana had one thing in common. Other than the fact that they were learned men from India, the other thing that bound them all was the word 'Maharishi'. Maharishi, a title bestowed upon by some of the greatest sages from ancient India, was also given to one more learned but more contemporary of Indian sages. It was a tiny little man who took the west by storm and impressed them enough to have influenced and inspired many, one group being none other than the great English band of the 60s—The Beatles. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, not only gained fame as a guru of many celebrities and well-known personalities, he single-handedly made such a deep impact with the west that if yoga and meditation have been trending there for some time, one can easily say that it all started with this one man.

My March Through Hell - A Young...

Halina Kleiner, Edwin Stepp

A young girl is suddenly all alone and on the run from the Nazis in her hometown in Poland. Having survived an aktion that was intended to completely rid Czestochowa of all the Jews, she and her father try to make their way back to their home during the late hours of the night. 
 
 
 
Confronted by a policeman, Halina Goldberg unexplainably runs away from her father and begins her long journey of survival. When tired of fleeing, she volunteers to go into a work camp. That decision buys her some time because the Germans need labor for the war effort. Halina works in three different camps from the Fall of 1943 to January 1945. At first, the camps are bearable, even though the prisoners are worked hard and fed very little. But as the Germans begin to lose the war, the conditions turn deathly. The Jews become overrun with disease and their captors grow crueler and crueler. 
 
 
 
As it becomes clear that the war is lost, the SS empty the camps and set over 2,000 women on a four-month long march that would cover over 800 kilometers during one of Europe's coldest winters on record. Halina was one of the only 300 who survived the Volary Death March and finally felt the need to record her hellish story of survival.

Queering the Runes - Reclaiming...

Siri Vincent Plouff

Queering the Runes is a contemporary, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to the runes that focuses on finding queer experience, life, and joy in the Elder Futhark. Siri comes to the runes as a queer, nonbinary reader, and presents a path for reclaiming the ancestral wisdom and mystery of the runes in a way that can provide insight and understanding of their sacred nature for masculine, feminine, and nongendered aspects of self. Written as a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path, Queering the Runes presents an alternative approach to the runes—one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Based on the author’s personal gnosis, as well as deep academic research on runes and Nordic culture, this book explores the root culture of the runes, both in terms of myth and of lived, real folkloric experience, and paves the way for understanding how to work with runes disencumbered from patriarchy and white supremacy.   Siri Vincent Plouff presents the traditional meanings of the runes, then helps the reader to queer the runes in their own way. Included are the lore associated with each rune, exercises to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the runes (layouts, castings, and galdr), and advice on how to use the runes for divination. Throughout, the author provides journal prompts meant to help the reader channel the energy of specific runes, to get to know their energy, as well as to use the runes to help them move forward in a journey of self-discovery.  Queering the Runes seeks to blow open perceptions of the runes, exploring them as active, living symbols available to all, as well as the inherent connection with ancestral magic that comes with rune work.
