Sinopsis

Fasting Through Ages explores the historical and cultural significance of fasting, revealing its role beyond mere deprivation. The book argues that fasting has been a powerful force for spiritual transformation and social cohesion across diverse societies. From ancient rituals in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism to its modern use for health and wellness, fasting reflects shifting cultural values and scientific understanding. Did you know that fasting has also been used as a form of political protest and social control throughout history? The book progresses by first categorizing types of fasting practices across religious traditions, then analyzing its historical and social contexts, and finally examining the modern resurgence of intermittent fasting. It draws from ancient religious texts, historical chronicles, contemporary scientific studies, and anthropological field reports. By bridging ancient customs with contemporary practices, Fasting Through Ages offers a comprehensive overview of fasting's enduring appeal and its multifaceted impact on human lives.

    The Night Has Its Own Darkness is a chorus of women’s voices - remembered, imagined, and reborn. Across generations and continents, they rise from silence to speak their truths: of love and loss, of resistance and longing, of faith, exile, and survival. 
     Among them are the iconic and the forgotten, women we thought we knew, now revealing who they truly were, and others whose names were never spoken aloud. 
     Each voice burns like a candle in the dark, passing its flame to the next, forming a fragile, luminous chain of remembrance that refuses to fade. 
    Written by J. M. Niv and narrated with the extraordinary presence by Erika Calvert, this audiobook becomes more than a reading, it is an act of listening, a haunting dialogue between past and present. 
     Every voice carries the breath of those who came before, every pause holds the weight of what was never said.Moving between history and memory, between the living and the lost, The Night Has Its Own Darkness invites the listener to bear witness, to stand in the quiet and hear the light.

    Since the 2002 implementation of No Child Left Behind, the American public education system has been fundamentally changed. Excessive testing, standardized curriculums, destructive demands on children, corporate-­style evaluations, and top-­down mandates have become the norm. In response, record numbers of demoralized educators have quit, and millions of students have been left educationally impoverished. This troubling transformation has been exhaustively critiqued by scholars and commentators. Yet one crucial voice has been missing. 
     
     
     
    In Testing Education, Kathy Greeley recounts the impact of education reform from a teacher's point of view. Based on a teaching career ranging nearly forty years, Greeley details how schools went from learning communities infused with excitement, intellectual stimulation, and joy to sterile spaces of stress, intimidation, and fear. In this ultimately hopeful memoir, Greeley asks us to learn from the past to reimagine the future of public education.
