It almost goes without saying that Westminster Abbey is one of the foremost sites in Europe when it comes to being steeped in history. Dating back to the reign of William the Conqueror and the Norman conquest, Westminster Abbey has traditionally been the site of royal coronations, royal weddings, and royal burials, and anyone who enters can instantly feel that they are walking in the footsteps of some of the most influential figures in history, from Henry III to Queen Elizabeth I. It’s impossible to fully appreciate the Tower of London without understanding its context. Like all fortresses, it was built to control and protect its surroundings, and the history of the Tower is bound up in the mutual histories of London and the Monarchy. The unfolding saga of war, imprisonment, glory, and treason in England can all be told through the lens of the Tower, and the lives that intersected with it. When people think of the British Royal family, and more specifically where they live, the first image that often pops into mind is that of stately Buckingham Palace, with its changing of the guard and the occasional royal coach leaving or entering. Others may think of the royal country estate of Windsor Castle, a favorite of both Britain’s longest-reigning and second longest-reigning monarchs. And there was a time when both royal residences played second fiddle to a much better known home, the elegant Kensington Palace. Big Ben is one of the most recognizable symbols of Britain, and indeed one of the most famous structures in the world. A quintessential part of London, every movie set in London features an establishing shot of Big Ben, and many guidebooks of London have the clock tower as its cover photo. London and Big Ben are forever linked in the consciousness of the Western world.Voir livre

First published in 1925, The City is a trailblazing text in urban history, urban sociology, and urban studies. Its innovative combination of ethnographic observation and social science theory epitomized the Chicago school of sociology. Robert E. Park, Ernest W. Burgess, and their collaborators were among the first to document the interplay between urban individuals and larger social structures and institutions, seeking patterns within the city’s riot of people, events, and influences. As sociologist Robert J. Sampson notes in his new foreword, though much has changed since The City was first published, we can still benefit from its charge to explain where and why individuals and social groups live as they do.Voir livre
A "piercing, unsentimental" (New Yorker) history that boldly challenges the idea of a rural American crisis. It seems everyone has an opinion about rural America. Is it gripped in a tragic decline? Or is it on the cusp of a glorious revival? Is it the key to understanding America today? Steven Conn argues that we're missing the real question: Is rural America even a thing? No, says Conn, who believes we see only what we want to see in the lands beyond the suburbs—fantasies about moral (or backward) communities, simpler (or repressive) living, and what it means to be authentically (or wrongheadedly) American. If we want to build a better future, Conn argues, we must accept that these visions don't exist and never did. In The Lies of the Land, Conn shows that rural America—so often characterized as in crisis or in danger of being left behind—has actually been at the center of modern American history, shaped by the same forces as everywhere else in the country: militarization, industrialization, corporatization, and suburbanization. Examining each of these forces in turn, Conn invites us to dispense with the lies and half-truths we've believed about rural America and to pursue better solutions to the very real challenges shared all across our nation.Voir livre
WHAT I’M PROPOSING IS A METHOD OF TECHNIQUES FOR THE MARKETER (YOU) TO: Fall behind the noise Open access to your full spectrum of emotions first. Marketers can not make anyone feel. No body has control over someone else's feelings. Emotions simply... exist. In context. Marketers can create stimuli to activate a customer’s nervous system and trigger a purchase behavior. My book explores how to unpack societal “shoulds” from a personal level. Taking this a step further, I then translate this exact concept to specific case studies and marketing strategies we see live in today’s marketplace. Side by side I compare the factual outputs with how it would look using the applied Core Method. My hope is that The Holistic Marketer activates a flicker from YOUR core, inspiring you to connect your own dots from a place of kind curiosity, unlocking access to a soft landing as you make decisions among others in the moment.Voir livre
"The author's message is potent and timely... this is a vital call to reform a broken system." – Publishers Weekly Review, June 2025 Discover An Inspiring Personal Story of Resilience, Redemption, and Advocacy Born into an impoverished community in a two-parent household that later fractured, Terence Lester and his sister were moved from place to place by their mother in a search for safety and stability. Carrying the heavy weight of that early trauma, Lester's path led him to gangs, juvenile delinquency, and even homelessness, at one point living out of his car. He eventually dropped out of high school, another statistic in a system designed to fail him. But his journey did not end in despair. Lester returned to school, graduating as a fifth-year senior against all odds. He went on to earn five degrees, including a PhD in public policy. A Story of Overcoming Systemic Barriers From Dropout to Doctorate is Terence Lester's powerful story of overcoming adversity to becoming a champion for educational equity. Lester shares his own story of resilience through trauma, perseverance through pain, and reliance upon community that led him to where he is today—not to glory in success, but to give back to the community that God used to shape him. Connecting his personal struggles to the larger, complex challenges faced by Black children in under-resourced communities, Lester's story brings attention to what must be done to ensure that others facing similar odds have the opportunity to achieve their own dreams. In this book, you will discover: - A compelling personal narrative of overcoming adversity, from homelessness and dropping out of high school to earning a doctorate. - In-depth insights into the realities of educational injustice and its impact on Black communities. - A thoughtful exploration of how poverty, unjust policies, and the school-to-prison pipeline disrupt lives and perpetuate systemic barriers. - An inspiring call for educators, leaders, and advocates to champion educational equity and a more just and inclusive world. A Call to Invest in a More Just Future As you travel with Lester through scenes both painful and hopeful from his early life, you'll see how God can take even the most broken parts of your story and use them for his glory. You'll be inspired to advocacy—to confront educational inequity and inspire change. From Dropout to Doctorate offers a hopeful pathway forward for those ready to reimagine what is possible for marginalized communities. Will you be the next one to make an impact?Voir livre
