Sinopsis

In "A Decade of Italian Women (Vol. 1&2)," Thomas Adolphus Trollope intricately weaves a compelling narrative that examines the multifaceted lives of Italian women during the transformative years of the 19th century. Through a blend of insightful analysis and captivating storytelling, Trollope employs a literary style characterized by eloquent prose and keen observation, placing these women's experiences within the broader socio-political context of post-unification Italy. This work not only sheds light on the personal struggles and aspirations of Italian women but also critiques the societal norms that shaped their identities, making it a significant contribution to women's studies and Italian literature of the time. Trollope, a keen observer of cultural and social dynamics, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in Italy and his interest in the interplay between gender and society. The son of the renowned novelist Anthony Trollope, he was immersed in literary and social discourse from an early age. His deep appreciation for Italy's rich history and his advocacy for women's rights are evident throughout the volumes, reflecting his commitment to capturing the essence of a society in flux, while illuminating the untold narratives of women who shaped Italy's cultural landscape. Readers interested in gender dynamics, Italian history, or 19th-century literature will find "A Decade of Italian Women" an invaluable resource. Trollope's meticulous research, combined with his narrative flair, presents a nuanced portrait of women's lives that resonates beyond its historical context, making it essential reading for anyone eager to understand the complexities of gender and identity in a rapidly changing world.

    The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation. But in the primitive phase it was a soul of life or of food ascending from the water in vegetation, as he who climbs the stalk, ranging from Child-Horus to the Polynesian hero, and to Jack ascending heavenward by means of his bean-stalk. –from “The Sign Language of Astronomical Mythology” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs.

    Written by Kamalagita Hughes, The Mindful Teacher's Handbook: How to step out of busyness and find peace is a practical guide to mindfulness that will empower teachers and school staff to take better care of their well-being and find calm in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the school setting.
    When we're on an aeroplane, the on-board safety instructions tell us that in the event of an emergency we should put on our own oxygen mask first - and only then help those around us. The same is true for well-being: we need to look after ourselves in order to be a resource for others. This is especially the case in busy, high-pressure environments such as our classrooms and schools, where burnout is a real concern for teachers and leaders, who all too often relegate their own self-care to the bottom of the to-do list.
    The Mindful Teacher's Handbook is a practical and engaging resource to help everyone in schools bring mindfulness into their lives in a meaningful way. Mindfulness practice offers simple, straightforward strategies for finding peace and regaining perspective, and has a solid body of evidence that attests to its efficacy. In this book, Kamalagita Hughes provides a lively and engaging blend of top tips, research evidence, case studies, guided meditations and suggested exercises for all - both for those new to mindfulness and for those who want to refresh their practice.
    Providing a thorough, grounded understanding of mindfulness and its benefits for the school community, the book explores the links between well-being and education and sets out how improved staff and student well-being can cultivate a better teaching and learning environment for all. Kamalagita offers practical strategies that school staff can put into practice straight away - both for their own well-being and that of their pupils - including insightful case studies on how best to bring mindfulness to your school.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders.

    A 5-year-old boy, Ethan, is brought to Casey in the middle of the night after the sudden death of his young mother after a drug overdose. 
    Estranged from her parents, Ethan’s mum had been abused by her ex-partner, and began taking drugs to cope. Ethan is obviously lost and bewildered, and regularly wakes up screaming for his mum in the night. He begins to lash out at other kids at school and his behaviour becomes more volatile. When arrangements are made for Ethan to see his dad in prison, Casey recognises the name and face… It turns out she’s far more familiar with this case than first imagined. 
    In this heart-wrenching biography, Casey Watson, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the personal struggles of Ethan, a child thrust into the world of fostering and adoption after a family tragedy. The narrative explores the complex relationships within the social work system, and Ethan's survival in the face of adversity.
