The Post of Honour - Stories of Daring Deeds Done by Men of the British Empire in the Great War

Richard Wilson

Sinopse

Richard Wilson's 'The Post of Honour' stands as a compelling anthology that encapsulates the valor and sacrifice of individuals from the British Empire during the Great War. With a series of narratives that delve into daring deeds, Wilson commemorates the often-unspoken heroism that shaped the course of history. Structured with riveting prose and deep emotional resonance, this collection thrives against the backdrop of its contemporaries by offering an intimate window into the lives and trials of those who faced the tumult of war. The literary style is evocative, vibrant with the patina of the era, and firmly entrenched within the wartime literature canon, making each story both a testament to individual courage and a reflection on the collective human spirit.

As an author, Wilson brings to the forefront a nuanced understanding of military endeavors and the indomitable human ethos that pervades times of conflict. His work suggests an intricate exploration into the psychological landscapes altered by war, undoubtedly influenced by the overarching narratives of loyalty, honor, and the weight of patriotic duty. Such influences may have been carved from Wilson's own historical context or insights into the deep-seated ethos of the British Empire during a pivotal moment in global history.
The Post of Honour' is more than a mere collection of stories; it presents an immersive experience recommended for readers who seek to comprehend the complexities of war beyond mere battlefields. Those interested in the intersection of history and literature, or the personal dimensions of war, will find Wilson's work to be an invaluable addition to their understanding of World War I. It stands as both homage to unsung heroes and an exploration of humanity's enduring resilience in the face of adversity.

I No Longer Dream

Michael Brandt

In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

Body Acceptance

Jade Nyx

In a world that persistently teaches us to critique and alter our bodies, where are the lessons on embracing and loving them?
 
Understanding body acceptance isn’t as simple as ticking boxes on a checklist. It’s not about showering ourselves with compliments or indulging in self-care rituals and then magically achieving self-love. It’s a journey, much like navigating a vast, never-ending theme park. With a myriad of rides, from the thrilling roller coasters to the gentle carousels, everyone’s adventure is unique. Some may crave the adrenaline of the high-speed rides, while others find joy in the calm of the tea cups. That’s the beauty of it – our differences.
 
Just as theme parks cater to diverse tastes, body acceptance is about finding what resonates with you. This book serves as your guide, the map you’re handed at the entrance. It offers directions and insights, but the real experience? That’s up to you to explore and embrace.
 
Your adventure awaits. Are you ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and love?

Sanctuary School - Innovating to...

Chandler Patton Miranda, Carola...

In Sanctuary School, Chandler Patton Miranda highlights the many ways that K–12 schools can provide safe educational spaces and relevant, responsive resources for immigrant students. Miranda prompts educators to think beyond the baseline definition of sanctuary schools as protective institutions that practice legally supported noncooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. She envisions a whole-school approach to sanctuary that empowers marginalized students via radical welcoming and innovation.In this timely book, Miranda issues a call to action for educators and school leadership to create school spaces where immigrant youth can find belonging even in an era of increased anti-immigrant rhetoric. A forward-looking conclusion equips educators with radical mindset shifts and actionable strategies to navigate a second Trump presidency and an uncertain future for immigrant students. Among other takeaways, Miranda urges educational leaders to align school policy and hiring practices to promote a school culture that nurtures curiosity and ensures that the social and emotional needs of students are being met. This necessary book serves as a blueprint for educators, families, and students to organize within and outside the school community to secure positive outcomes for immigrant students.
