  The Journey Toward Wholeness -...

  Suzanne Stabile

  • 0

  In everything from health care and politics to technology and economics, we are experiencing feelings of loss, anger, and anxiety. In the Enneagram's wisdom, our number determines how we respond. We automatically move to another number when we're feeling stress and to yet another when we're feeling secure. Such moves may help us feel better temporarily but don't last. 
   
   
   
  For those who want to dive deeper into Enneagram wisdom, expert teacher Suzanne Stabile opens the concept of three Centers of Intelligence: thinking, feeling, and doing. When we learn to manage these centers, each for its intended purpose, we open a path to reducing fear, improving relationships, growing spiritually, and finding wholeness. Drawing on the dynamic stability of the Enneagram, she explains each number's preferred and repressed Center of Intelligence and its role in helping us move toward internal balance. Using brief focused chapters, this book provides what we need to deal with the constant change and complexity of our world to achieve lasting transformation in our lives.

  The Second Estate - How the Tax...

  A revelatory book that lifts the curtain on America’s most consequential public deception: how the rich get richer using tools the government gave them. 
   
  Amid conflicting narratives about the drivers of wealth and inequality in the United States, one constant hovers in the background: the US tax code. No political force has been more consequential—or more utterly opaque—than the 7,000-page document that details who pays what in American society and government. Most of us have a sense that it’s an unfair system. But does anyone know exactly how it’s unfair? 
   
  Legal scholar Ray D. Madoff knows. In The Second Estate, she offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes of America’s byzantine system of taxation, laying bare not only its capacity to consolidate wealth but also the mechanisms by which it has created two fundamentally separate American societies: the working Americans who pay and the ultra-rich who benefit. 
   
  This is not a story of offshore accounts or secret tax havens. In The Second Estate, Madoff shows that the US system itself has, over time, been stripped and reconstituted such that it now offers a series of secret paths, hidden in plain sight, for wealthy people in the know to avoid taxation altogether. Through the strategic avoidance of traditional income, leveraging of investments and debt, and exploitation of rules designed to promote charitable giving, America’s wealthy do more than just pay less than their share; they remove themselves from the tax system entirely. Wealth becomes its own sovereign state, and the living is surprisingly—and maddeningly—cheap.

  Cover My Six: A Comprehensive Guide to Firefighter Care is not just another book on mental health—it’s a breakthrough playbook for mastering the full system of care that every firefighter deserves. For too long, mental health care in the fire service has relied on civilian models that miss the mark—offering surface-level strategies that don’t reflect the realities of the job. When those tools fail, firefighters are left blaming themselves. But what if the real issue isn’t you? What if the strategies were misapplied, incomplete, or never designed for lasting impact? Cover My Six changes that. 
  Written by Dr. Lea Sullivan, a mental health expert who understands the fire service from the inside out, this cutting-edge book bridges the gap between clinical care and firefighter culture. Backed by scientific research and real stories from the line, it delivers practical, no-fluff strategies that actually fit the fire service. 
  Become the expert of your own wellness. 
  This isn’t about becoming a therapist—it’s about owning your care with clarity and confidence. Whether you're navigating stress, supporting your crew, or just staying sharp, Cover My Six gives you the tools to make informed, effective decisions. 
  This is mental fitness, built for firefighters. 
  Take charge. Stay sharp. Cover your six.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules
  - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
  - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners
  - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text
  - A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English
  - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language
  - Uniquely stylised illustrations
  - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’
  - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts

  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  Russia After Putin and Trump

  This gripping book by the prominent Russian journalist and analyst Sergey Shelin aims to explain why most Russians suddenly "understood" the need to attack Ukraine and Europe and are confident that their country is on the right path.
  
  Shelin, who was declared a "foreign agent" by the Putin regime and forced to leave Russia, argues that while most Russians now want a break from war, they are not going to apologize for the aggression and do not believe it stems from Vladimir Putin's actions. They have come to see Donald Trump as the only Western leader who understands and respects Russia and have embraced a kind of alternative West led by Trump and the European far right.

  Black Narratives of Slavery - A...

  Robert Patterson

  This Very Short Introduction brings together a wide range of narratives of slavery across a broad historical period to understand how Black people—enslaved and not-enslaved—have experienced and imagined slavery. It also investigates how slavery's long reach and afterlife has continued to shape Black life in the twenty-first century. By giving attention to the narratives produced during the last two hundred plus years, this volume examines American chattel slavery as a specific historical period that legally ended in 1865, and yet recognizes its impacts, effects, and significance as extending into the twenty-first century. Slave narratives tie the life of slavery its abolition with its afterlife and the reconfigurations that followed—Black Codes, Jim Crow segregation, and many other forms of disenfranchisement.Robert J. Patterson examines so-called "traditional" slave narratives alongside writings from non-enslaved Black people in the nineteenth century, the imaginative works of twentieth century fiction, and twenty-first century cinema to create a compelling and informative introduction to the long historical arc of slavery woven into the cultural and political fabric of America.
