Past and Present is a book by Thomas Carlyle. It combines medieval history with criticism of 19th-century British society, comparing the reverence for work and heroism of monasterial monks with the egocentric attitude of politicians, thus shaming the latter.
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Quiet Exit is not a book about leaving loudly. It is a book about choosing yourself without collapsing your life. By Dr. Montoya S Ozier, this work is for the woman who knows something is ending-even if nothing has officially ended. She is emotionally awake, financially aware, and deeply responsible. She is not seeking drama or escape. She is seeking clarity, steadiness, and a dignified way forward. This is not a breakup book. It is about leaving self-abandonment. Across eleven grounded chapters, The Quiet Exit offers a calm, realistic framework for women who cannot afford to panic, rush decisions, or destabilize their lives. It addresses emotional regulation, boundaries, grief, financial fear, rest, self-trust, and quiet preparation for what comes next. This book does not rush the reader or force action. It sits beside her while she becomes coherent again. For women ready to choose themselves with care, wisdom, and strength, The Quiet Exit is not just a book. It is a turning point.Zum Buch
Raising children is never an easy task; as many parents will tell you, it is a lifetime commitment and one that can sometimes be thankless. Now, raising a neuro-divergent child makes parenting several times more challenging. Neuro-divergence is the difference in brain function from what we consider standard or typical. A neuro-divergent child shows different mental characteristics from what would be considered typical, called neuro-typical. ODD and ADHD are two examples of neuro-divergent disorders that are common among the population. Raising a child with an ODD and ADHD combination is infinitely more challenging than usual and requires greater tact and patience. Children with ODD and ADHD often show developmental problems, defiance of authority, disregard for what is considered normal, and, if not checked, can develop problems in their social life. So, if you are wondering:What exactly are ODD and ADHDHow do I tell the difference between the two?What behavioral problems do the two disorders display? And other similar questions, then read on. This book will cover:What ODD and ADHD are?How ODD with ADHD presents itself.Behavioral problems that an oppositional child displaysLearning how to raise a child with ODD and ADHD combined And so much more. I hope you enjoy it!Zum Buch
1. Does self-knowledge come through searching? - 16 July 1949 • What is it that most of us are seeking? • Does clarity come through searching and trying to find out what others say? • Can incessant search and longing give you the extraordinary sense of reality or creative being that comes when you really understand yourself? • Without knowing your background and the substance of your thought, where it comes from, surely your search is utterly futile and your action has no meaning. • The responsibility for any action depends on ourselves, not on others. • Q: Do I have to be at any special level of consciousness to understand you? • Q: The movement of life is experienced in relationship to people and to ideas.Zum Buch
"Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis "A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.Zum Buch
Research shows that children whose parents/significant adults are involved in their school and education are more academically successful than children whose parents are not involved. Of course, work schedules, language and cultural barriers, and family commitments can get in the way of parental involvement. Fathers, in particular, are often not involved in their children’s schools. Burwell’s book addresses ways to get fathers involved in their young children’s education and school.Zum Buch

Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much an audiobook about death, but an audiobook about life and what matters in the end.
