  Parenting Without Chaos -...

  Parenting was never meant to feel like constant crisis management. 
  Yet for many parents, daily life is filled with raised voices, power struggles, guilt, exhaustion, and the lingering fear that they are somehow getting it wrong. Mornings begin in a rush, evenings end in frustration, and in between is a cycle of correcting, negotiating, apologizing, and starting over again. Love is present—but so is chaos. 
  Parenting Without Chaos was written for parents who are tired of surviving and ready to start leading their homes with calm, clarity, and confidence. 
  This book does not promise perfect children or silent households. What it offers instead is something far more realistic and powerful: a new way of thinking about parenting—one that replaces reactivity with intention, control with connection, and constant conflict with steady guidance. 
  Chaos in parenting is rarely caused by children alone. More often, it grows from uncertainty, unexamined habits, and unrealistic expectations passed down from generation to generation. Many parents were never taught how to regulate their own emotions, set firm but loving boundaries, or discipline without anger. As a result, they parent from stress instead of strategy. 
  Clinton Greene challenges the idea that parenting must be loud, overwhelming, or emotionally draining to be effective. Drawing from real-life experiences, behavioral insight, and practical observation, he shows how calm leadership—not force—is the foundation of a healthy family environment. 
  At its core, Parenting Without Chaos is about reclaiming peace in the home—not by controlling children, but by mastering yourself. When parents change the way they show up, children respond differently. Homes become calmer. Relationships strengthen. Trust grows.

  The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
  Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
  You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
  But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
  Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
  A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
  So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
  Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
  Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
  A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...

  How were human rights invented, and how does their tumultuous history influence their perception and our ability to protect them today? From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth. She demonstrates how ideas of human relationships portrayed in novels and art helped spread these new ideals and how human rights continue to be contested today.

  The Sun Also Rises

  Ernest Hemingway

  The debut novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author that is both a tragic love story and a searing group portrait of hapless American expatriates drinking, dancing, and chasing their dreams in postwar Europe. 
  “An absorbingly beautiful and tenderly absurd, heart-breaking narrative ... It is a truly gripping story.” —The New York Times 
  Ernest Hemingway, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, exerted a lasting influence on fiction in English through his economical prose style that conceals more than it reveals. His first novel, published in 1926, is narrated by world-weary journalist Jake Barnes, who is burdened by a wound acquired in World War I and by his utterly hopeless love for the flamboyantly decadent Lady Brett Ashley. The Sun Also Rises tracks the Lost Generation of the 1920s from the nightclubs of Paris to the bullfighting arenas of Spain

  Practicing New Worlds -...

  Practicing New Worlds explores how principles of emergence, adaptation, iteration, resilience, transformation, interdependence, decentralization, and fractalization can shape organizing toward a world without the violence of surveillance, police, prisons, jails, or cages of any kind, in which we collectively have everything we need to survive and thrive. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on decades of experience as an abolitionist organizer, policy advocate, and litigator in movements for racial, gender, economic, and environmental justice and the principles articulated by adrienne maree brown in Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds, Ritchie invites us to think beyond traditional legislative and policy change to create more possibilities for survival and resistance in the midst of the ongoing catastrophes of racial capitalism—and the cataclysms to come. Rooted in analysis of current abolitionist practices and interviews with on-the-ground organizers resisting state violence, building networks to support people in need of abortion care, and nurturing organizations and convergences that can grow transformative cities and movements, Practicing New Worlds takes listeners on a journey of learning, unlearning, experimentation, and imagination to dream the worlds we long for into being.
