Sinossi

Civil Unrest explores the history of uprisings and protests in America, arguing that these events, though disruptive, have been crucial in driving social change and addressing systemic injustices. The book examines how instances of social upheaval force a reckoning with inequality, ultimately shaping a more inclusive nation. For example, the Civil Rights Movement, marked by both nonviolent protests and violent confrontations, led to desegregation and the dismantling of Jim Crow laws. Similarly, labor movements and industrial unrest, like the Haymarket Affair, highlighted issues of labor rights and working conditions during the industrial era. The book takes a chronological approach, starting with early rebellions and moving through labor movements, the Civil Rights Era, anti-war protests, and contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter. Each event is analyzed considering the perspectives of protesters, government officials, law enforcement, and affected communities. By dissecting these historical events, Civil Unrest reveals patterns of progress and regression, offering vital lessons for addressing current social and political challenges.

    Archaeologist Jim Leary reanimates the past with this riveting 'archaeology of movement' 
     
    All too often we think of the past as static, 'frozen in time', and indeed movement is not always easy to decipher from the archaeological record. With Jim Leary's expert eye we explore the tangible remains, from fossilised footprint tracks to prehistoric wooden trackways, ridgeways, holloways, droveways, green ways, corpse roads, and Roman roads. Isotope studies and archaeogenetics now allow us see the arduous journeys that people made across continents and oceans, proving that migration has been continuous throughout our past, an endless ebb and flow of populations. 
     
    This new story of our past shows that history was warm and full of life, and no doubt at times cold, dark and miserable - but it was never motionless. Footmarks will make you look at the landscape around you with fresh eyes.

    Of all relationships, the connection between humanity and nature is most sacred. 
    For more than 2,500 years, humans have strayed from nature, challenging humanity with immeasurable consequences.  
    In 7 Principles of Nature, neuropsychologist Aldrich Chan unravels the roots of this misalignment through a compelling theory of its development, charting three critical phases that lead to a misguided future. Blending the rigor of science with the wisdom of Daoism—an ancient philosophy rooted in nature—Dr. Chan reveals a path toward integration. Packed with insightful reflections and practical techniques, 7 Principles of Nature is a must-read for reclaiming connection and empowering mental health.

    When we think about whether we are good people leading a good life, we usually think about actions. Bad people do bad things that hurt others. Good people do good things that help others, and they avoid doing bad things. Simple. 
     
     
     
    But while our actions certainly have consequences, today our inactions have far greater and far graver consequences. Bad actions can result in the suffering of a few or several dozen others; inaction can result in the extreme misery of thousands. 
     
     
     
    For nearly our entire history as a species, we lived in small groups with minimal resources, leaving our ability to help others limited. Thanks to massive global populations, huge wealth disparities, and modern technologies, the average person now has more power to improve the lives of others than nearly anyone who has ever lived. But the flip side of that great power is the dizzyingly high cost of inaction, in which lives can hang in the balance with each dollar and hour of time we spend. 
     
     
     
    This is a book about what we don't do. It's about our failures to act and the suffering others endure as a result. It's also about the incredible good that can be achieved when we cultivate an internal drive to do more.

    In this collection of poetry, written over half a lifetime, Hayley Ann Solomon focuses primarily on the pursuit of excellence, immortality achieved through finite life, love in all its forms, and social justice. As it waxes and wanes, the collection cycles through sequences of lyrical ballads, sonnets, elegies, haiku, snippets of nonsensical verse; all blended with a substantial dose of existential philosophy and social comment. 
    The collection covers a full spectrum, from the darkest psycho-social moments, to zeniths of absolute joy. The liberal use of consonance, assonance, alliteration, echoes and half-echoes, rhyme and cross-rhyme make for a style rich in sound-play. This, together with strong metrical awareness – very often iambic or trochaic pentameter and tetrameter – evokes a flow that is quite typically euphonic. There is therefore a sense of lyricism despite a broad diversity of topics and moods. 
    The anthology evolves to become a promise of regeneration, in synchrony with the phases of the moon, from which it takes its celestial title.
