Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In "The Challenging Path: Triumphs and Trials of Latino/a Students in Higher Education," we embark on a poignant journey into the lives of Latino/a students as they navigate the complexities of higher education in America. Through their personal narratives, we witness the challenges they face, the resilience they possess, and the transformative power of education in shaping their destinies.

This book delves into the systemic barriers that hinder the academic progress of Latino/a students, including financial hardships, cultural and linguistic differences, societal stereotypes, and discrimination. It sheds light on the unique struggles they encounter as they strive to succeed in a system that often fails to recognize and address their needs.

Yet, amidst these challenges, Latino/a students demonstrate remarkable resilience and determination. Drawing strength from their cultural heritage and community, they forge ahead, fueled by a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education. They form vibrant communities, finding solace and strength in shared experiences and a common purpose.

Their stories are both heartbreaking and inspiring, serving as a stark reminder of the work that remains to be done in creating a more just and equitable educational system. They demand our attention, our empathy, and our unwavering commitment to dismantling the barriers that prevent all students from reaching their full potential.

"The Challenging Path" is a call to action, urging us to confront the systemic issues that perpetuate educational inequality and to create a society where every student has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of Latino/a students and a powerful reminder of the transformative power of education in shaping individual lives and communities.

This book is essential reading for educators, policymakers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the challenges and triumphs of Latino/a students in higher education. It is a call to action for all of us to work towards creating a more just and equitable society where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Trauma-Informed Yoga - A Toolbox...

Joanne Spence, Amy Weintraub

Although many forms of trauma treatment rely solely on talk therapy as a means of healing, we cannot "talk out" every issue related to trauma. Indeed, trauma is stored in the body and the brain and must be treated as such. 
 
 
 
Designed with both mental health clinicians and clients in mind, Trauma-Informed Yoga offers forty-seven short, simple practices that regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the racing mind, and center those of us living chaotic twenty-first century lives. 
 
 
 
Drawing from over twenty years of teaching and clinical practice, Spence masterfully weaves together the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern neuroscience and clinical practice in an accessible and compassionate manner. 
 
 
 
This how-to toolbox will arm you with knowledge and with powerful, yet simple, mind-body activities that reduce suffering and increase well-being.

Enver Pasha - The Cruel Ottoman...

Kelly Mass

It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes have caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in the right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War 1, and even the Armenian Genocide, which consisted of releasing prisoners upon the Armenian population to have their way and abuse, murder, rape, and pillage. Deportation of Armenians to remote areas, away from their homes, caused many to starve, drown, or become severely ill. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity. 
Let’s learn more about Enver Pasha in this book, as far as history reaches into the depths of time, and find out what made him the way he became, what circumstances contributed to his reactions and commands, and the details of what he did.

We live in a time of increasing conflict due to ignorance, misinformation and polarization. We must change this. How balanced order was and still can be achieved is described in this set of four books.  
Heads filled with too many imagined injustices ignore realities generally experienced by the dispossessed and powerless, caused by "The Fortunate". A rebalancing is long overdue. But how? This starts and finishes through the actions of caring and well-informed individuals locally first, in areas of personal opportunity and influence, ever growing step by step. It is time to take command of enabling powers constructively, observing, sheltering, feeding and educating: positive change supercharged and empowered through action.  
The best time to start change is NOW
