The Jewish State

Theodor Herzl

Sinopse

In "The Jewish State," Theodor Herzl presents a profound and pioneering exploration of Jewish nationalism and the urgent need for a sovereign state for the Jewish people. Written in a direct and impassioned style, the book outlines Herzl's vision of political Zionism, arguing that the establishment of a Jewish homeland is vital for the safety and autonomy of Jewish communities facing persistent anti-Semitism. Contextually situated at the turn of the 20th century, the work encapsulates the socio-political climate of Europe, where Jews experienced growing hostility, offering both a manifesto and a practical blueprint for achieving statehood in Palestine. Theodor Herzl, a journalist and playwright originally from Budapest, was deeply moved by the Dreyfus Affair, which exposed the rampant anti-Semitism in Europe. This personal and societal crisis galvanized Herzl, motivating him to explore the political avenues available to secure Jewish self-determination. His background in law and his experiences in journalism informed his articulate arguments and strategic vision, making him a seminal figure in the Zionist movement. "The Jewish State" is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of Israeli statehood and the complexities of Jewish identity. Herzl's work not only influences Zionist thought but also resonates in contemporary discussions of nationalism, making this text a critical piece of literature for scholars and lay readers alike.

Natural Attachments - The...

Pollyanna Rhee

A nuanced analysis takes a California oil spill as its point of departure to show how affluent homeowners pushed for an environmentalism that would protect not only the earth but also property and community norms. A massive oil spill in the Pacific Ocean near Santa Barbara, California, in 1969 quickly became a landmark in the history of American environmentalism, helping to inspire the creation of both the Environmental Protection Agency and Earth Day. But what role did the history of Santa Barbara itself play in this? As Pollyanna Rhee shows, the city’s past and demographics were essential to the portrayal of the oil spill as momentous. Moreover, well-off and influential Santa Barbarans were positioned to “domesticate” the larger environmental movement by embodying the argument that individual homes and families—not society as a whole—needed protection from environmental abuses. This soon would put environmental rhetoric and power to fundamentally conservative—not radical—ends.

Reclaim - understanding complex...

Dr. Ahona Guha

The relationship between trauma and mental health is becoming better recognized, but survivors and professionals alike remain confused about how best to understand and treat it. In Reclaim, through a series of case studies and expert analysis, Dr. Ahona Guha explores complex traumas, how survivors can recover and heal, and the nature of those who abuse. She shines a light on the "difficult" trauma victims that society often ignores, and tackles vital questions such as, "Why are psychological abuse and coercive control so difficult to spot?" and "Why do some people harm others, and how do we protect ourselves from them?" 
 
 
 
As a clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. Guha has had extensive experience in working with those who perpetrate harm—including stalkers, sex offenders, violent offenders, and those who threaten, bully, and harass—and she has a deep understanding of the psychological and social factors that cause people to abuse others. In turn, her clinical work in the trauma treatment field has led her to recognize the enormous impacts of complex trauma, and the failures of systems when working with those who have been victimized. 
 
 
 
By emphasizing compassion above all, Dr. Guha calls for us to become better informed about perpetrators and the needs of victims, so we might reclaim a safer, healthier society for everyone.

Unraveling Faculty Burnout -...

Rebecca Pope-Ruark

Faculty often talk about how busy, overwhelmed, and stressed they are. These qualities are seen as badges of honor in a capitalist culture that values productivity above all else. But for many women in higher education, exhaustion and stress go far deeper than end-of-the-semester malaise. Burnout, a mental health syndrome caused by chronic workplace stress, is endemic to higher education in a patriarchal, productivity-obsessed culture. In this unique book for women in higher education, Rebecca Pope-Ruark, PhD, draws from her own burnout experience, as well as collected stories of faculty in various roles and career stages, interviews with coaches and educational developers, and extensive secondary research to address and mitigate burnout. Pope-Ruark lays out four pillars of burnout resilience for faculty members: purpose, compassion, connection, and balance. Each chapter contains relatable stories, reflective opportunities and exercises, and advice from women in higher education.Blending memoir, key research, and reflection opportunities, Pope-Ruark helps faculty not only address burnout personally but also use the tools in this book to eradicate the systemic conditions that cause it in the first place. As burnout becomes more visible, we can destigmatize it by acknowledging that women are not unraveling; instead, women in higher education are reckoning with the productivity cult embedded in our institutions, recognizing how it shapes their understanding and approach to faculty work, and learning how they can remedy it for themselves, their peers, and women faculty in the future.

Through a veil of symbolism it attempts to inform the reader of the process of creating Ixir, and thus the universal medicine of alchemy.
