An Old English Home and Its Dependencies

S. Baring-Gould

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "An Old English Home and Its Dependencies," S. Baring-Gould offers an evocative exploration of the intricacies of English domestic life as it existed in the 19th century. Through meticulous descriptions and rich narrative detail, Baring-Gould captures the architecture and ambiance of traditional English homes, meticulously addressing their socio-cultural importance. His literary style merges romanticism with realism, utilizing vivid imagery and a reflective tone that creates a palpable sense of nostalgia, while also engaging with contemporary issues of social class and the evolution of domestic spaces in Victorian England. S. Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was a multifaceted figure—an author, antiquarian, and folklorist whose diverse interests undoubtedly shaped his literary pursuits. His deep appreciation for English history and culture is reflected throughout this work, as he draws on his extensive research and personal observations. Growing up in a family steeped in tradition, he was keenly aware of the shifting landscapes within English society, which propelled him to document and preserve the narratives tied to domesticity and familial structures during a time of rapid change. I highly recommend "An Old English Home and Its Dependencies" to readers interested in historical literature, architecture, and social history. Baring-Gould's rich prose and insightful observations provide not only a glimpse into the past but also prompt reflection on the values and complexities inherent in our own homes today.

Global Burning - Rising...

Eve Darian-Smith

Recent years have seen out of control wildfires rage across remote Brazilian rainforests, densely populated California coastlines, and major cities in Australia. What connects these separate events is more than immediate devastation and human loss of life. In Global Burning, Eve Darian-Smith contends that using fire as a symbolic and literal thread connecting different places around the world allows us to better understand the parallel, and related, trends of the growth of authoritarian politics and climate crises and their interconnected global consequences. 
 
 
 
As political leaders and big business work together in the pursuit of profits and power, anti-environmentalism has become an essential political tool enabling the rise of extreme right governments and energizing their populist supporters. These are the governments that deny climate science, reject environmental protection laws, and foster exclusionary worldviews that exacerbate climate injustice. 
 
 
 
The widespread fires demand acknowledgment of the global systems of inequality that undergird them, connecting the political erosion of liberal democracy with the corrosion of the environment. In thinking through wildfires as environmental and political phenomenon, Global Burning challenges listeners to confront the interlocking powers that are ensuring our future ecological collapse.

Position of Power - How to Win...

Warren MCFADDEN

Chapter 1
How to regain your power after begging and pleading
How can you regain the power back after doing all the begging and pleading and crying and all that shit like that?
when you are begging and pleading and crying, understand that’s natural. It’s called the fear of loss, you have the fear of losing something. You might not notice that the person already mentally checked out on you for whatever reason only they can tell you.
This is what you can do to regain your power back:
1. Stop all that- because it’s not going to do any good. The more you beg and plead and do all this nice stuff and jump though all these monkey ass hoops for this person, they don’t care, they are not there mentally, their mind gone, so the best thing for you to do is stop, just stop. That’s the first thing you can do to start regaining your power back, stop all that.
2. Then what you want to do is Become independent- the more you don’t need that person, the more that person wants you. It’s backwards, its nature, it is set up that way. The more you don’t want something the more you get it. Kind of like rich people, they get richer because they are already rich, they are not working for money. But what I’m trying to tell you is this, when you don’t need them and you are self-reliant, and you are independent and you don’t need them for absolutely nothing, they’ll want you. Now this goes in business, whatever area of your life you want to place it in, when you don’t need it there it is. Really this is how you operate from a position of power, always remember people want what they can't have.
