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.

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.

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.

The Shortest History of War -...

Gwynne Dyer

War has always been a defining feature of human society. This new addition to the Shortest History series explains why we do it—and how we can stop. 
 
 
 
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has punctured the longest stretch of peace between major powers since WWII, bringing the horrors of warfare—past, present, and future—to the forefront of listeners' minds. In The Shortest History of War, internationally acclaimed historian Gwynne Dyer adds urgently needed context. 
 
 
 
Dyer ably charts the evolution of violent conflict: tribal aggression, classical combat, limited war, total war, and cold war—followed by present-day terrorism, nuclear threats, and the development of lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS). His brilliant, brisk history is a harrowing must-listen for all who wonder: How will rival superpowers with unprecedented weapons shape the future of our interconnected world?

The Apostasy of Marriage - "How...

Servant C. D. Bennett

Words from Servant C. D. Bennett
"...if knowledge is one of the main keys to success, and wisdom gives us the ability to apply that knowledge, then this book IS the tool that will give your marriage the best opportunity to last a lifetime." ...Are you looking for a manuscript on marriage? Then look no further, The Apostasy of Marriage offers a potpourri of information about our innate nature on how we are wired, what makes us tick, and how & why we respond the way we do, different types and levels of love, what, why, & how each gender nurtures and feeds from the other, and much much more!
How does anyone know if their marriage is truly beyond saving?
Marriage is a blessed union, one that most people enter into with the most faithful and loving intentions. However, with the current rate of divorce hovering at around 40 percent, it’s clear that many couples experience significant levels of dissatisfaction and unhappiness with their spouse at some point during their marriage, to the point where ending the marriage becomes a viable option for one or both parties. If your marriage has reached this level of unhappiness, The Apostasy of Marriage is the turning point you’ve been looking for.
Designed as a resource and guide for men and women alike, Pastor Bennett’s reflections and summations will help you understand the critical questions and address issues that plague many marriages:
· What principles did God establish for marriage?
· What are the boundaries of marriage, and how does crossing these boundaries impact my relationship with my spouse?
· What are some of the common abuses that occur during a marriage, and can the damage from these abuses be repaired?
· The danger of “Stacking Chips” in your marriage
Even though the light of your marriage under God may have greatly dimmed, The Apostasy of Marriage is the beacon that can help renew your commitment and shared love with your spouse, restoring both hope and healing into your troubled relationship.

7 Psychological Effects of Sex -...

John Harpoon

Sex is often regarded as a physical act, but its psychological and emotional impact extends far beyond the bedroom. It plays a crucial role in shaping human relationships, mental well-being, and even self-perception. While society frequently highlights the biological aspects of sex, such as reproduction and pleasure, its influence on the mind is just as significant. Understanding these psychological effects allows individuals to navigate intimacy with greater awareness, fostering healthier connections and emotional balance.
One of the most profound psychological effects of sex is its ability to strengthen emotional bonds. The release of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone," promotes trust, attachment, and emotional security between partners. This bonding effect is particularly evident in long-term relationships, where consistent intimacy can deepen feelings of closeness and commitment. However, sex can also introduce emotional vulnerabilities, leading to attachment issues or insecurities when expectations are misaligned.
Beyond relationships, sex has a direct impact on mental health. It is widely recognized as a natural stress reliever, reducing cortisol levels and promoting relaxation. Many individuals experience an improved mood and enhanced self-esteem following sexual activity due to the release of dopamine and endorphins. These neurochemicals contribute to feelings of happiness and well-being, making sex a potential buffer against anxiety and depression. However, the psychological impact of sex is not always positive. Unhealthy sexual dynamics, such as pressure, manipulation, or emotional detachment, can lead to anxiety, guilt, or even trauma. Recognizing these effects can help individuals set healthy boundaries and cultivate a more fulfilling sexual experience.
