    “What I experienced wasn’t that bad, not bad enough to be real trauma.” Could you be one of the dismissed and ignored trauma survivors? Are you coping with unidentified complex PTSD from early intangible attachment trauma? 
    Author Ricia Fleming was: “It took me 26 years to complete this book,” she says, “because it took me that long – even as a licensed psychotherapist – to acknowledge the seriousness of the category of trauma I came to call naCCT, an acronym for its four characteristics: no physical assault, attachment-based, chronic, and covert. 
    "During those 26 years I often shoved the draft deep into my closet after someone shamed me for thinking such ‘little things’ could be serious enough to cause PTSD.” 
    With no tangible trauma to point to, confusion and self-shaming are normal for adults wounded by early naCCTs such as emotional neglect, gaslighting, or traumatic absence of loving hugs, interest, or understanding; many even deny they’ve been traumatized at all. 
    Yet, realistically, when we’re little, subtle everyday disturbances in our lifeline relationships with mother, father or other caregivers can register on our bodies, minds, and spirits as threats to life itself. In a word, as ‘trauma.’ 
    Whether or not your caregiver was well-intentioned, whether or not you also experienced blatant physical assaults like beatings or incest, the cumulative effect of early naCCTs can cause complex PTSD, leaving you to cope with physical, psychological, financial, and relationship problems and overall lack of fun, meaning, and spontaneity. 
    To meet the unique challenges of this under-explored trauma category, you now have a healing guidebook written by a therapist/survivor just for you. With empowering information, encouragement, and down-to-earth stories, this life-changing book will help you take pride in how well you have managed so far. Then it will provide you with realistic action steps for starting to feel better right away.

    Most people only consider the Mississippi River when they cross it or when it inconveniently abandons its banks. But every year, millions of tons of cargo are transported by towboats on the river. In Peep Light, Captain Lee Hendrix provides unique insight on people who work and live on and near the Mississippi River. Hendrix, formerly a pilot for the Delta Queen Steamboat Co., has worked on the Mississippi for fifty years. In 2014, Hendrix became captain of the towboat Mississippi with the US Army Corps of Engineers, then he later retired to return to passenger vessels. For Hendrix and others like him, he is at home on the river, living and dining with the same people they work with, working with familiar faces for years at a time and yet meeting new people every day. 
     
     
     
    Demonstrating a fascination not only with the river but also with the passions and dreams of those who live and work on it, these stories range from personal reflections on aging, experiencing one's first night on the river and the complex emotions that come with it, working on the deck, promotion to pilot, the characters working aboard these boats, and the history of the river itself. Peep Light unites humans with the river through engaging storytelling and sheds light on Hendrix's rare experience along one of the most powerful and important waterways in the world.

    The fall of the Han Dynasty marked the end of one of China’s longest and most influential imperial reigns, setting the stage for the chaotic period of the Three Kingdoms. While the dynasty had enjoyed centuries of stability and prosperity, internal corruption, weak leadership, and external rebellions steadily eroded its power. By the late second century AD, the once-mighty Han court was little more than a battleground for rival factions, warlords, and opportunists seeking to seize control. 
    One of the first major signs of decline was the increasing corruption within the imperial court. Eunuchs, who had gained substantial influence over the young emperors, manipulated state affairs for personal gain. As these power struggles intensified, competent officials and generals were sidelined or purged, leaving the empire vulnerable to both internal unrest and external threats. The weakening of central authority allowed regional governors and warlords to act with growing independence, further fragmenting the empire. 
    Amidst this political turmoil, a major peasant uprising erupted in 184 AD—the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Led by Zhang Jue, a Taoist healer who promised salvation through divine intervention, the rebellion quickly spread across northern and central China, drawing hundreds of thousands of followers. Although the Han government eventually crushed the revolt, the effort severely drained the empire’s resources and exposed its inability to maintain control. The rebellion’s suppression also elevated the status of military commanders, many of whom would later become the powerful warlords who divided the empire.

    Kashmir is the Indian subcontinent's northern most geographical area. It is quite different from the rest of India. And till the mid-nineteenth century, "Kashmir" only described the Kashmir Valley, which lies between the Great Mountain Ranges and the Pir Panjal Variety. Today, the word describes the Indian-controlled parts of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, and also the Pakistani-controlled terrain of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Chinese-controlled areas of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram System. 
    The Kashmir area ended up being a crucial center of Hinduism and later Buddhism in the first centuries, while Kashmir Shaivism developed later, in the ninth century. This is why so many people attribute significant spiritual meaning to the area. It is no wonder, therefore, that some travelers go to this specific area for spiritual purposes. 
    In this book, we will explore the history of Kashmir, its significance, and the current circumstances.

    Pivoting from studies that emphasize the dominance of progressivism on American college campuses during the late sixties and early seventies, Lauren Lassabe Shepherd positions conservative critiques of, and agendas in, American colleges and universities as an essential dimension of a broader conversation of conservative backlash against liberal education. 
     
     
     
    This book explores the story of how stakeholders in American higher education organized and reacted to challenges to their power from the New Left and Black Power student resistance movements of the late 1960s. By examining the range of conservative student organizations and coalition building, Shepherd shows how wealthy donors and conservative intellectuals trained future GOP leaders such as Karl Rove, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, and others in conservative politics, providing them with tactics to consciously drive American politics and culture further to the authoritarian right and to "reclaim" American higher education.
