Sinossi

In "Virginia Woolf: The Moment & Other Essays," Woolf intricately weaves a collection of essays that reveal her profound understanding of the human experience, the passage of time, and the complexities of consciousness. Characterized by her signature stream-of-consciousness style, the essays explore a variety of themes, including the role of women in society, the nature of art, and the subtleties of moments that define existence. Woolf's keen observations and lyrical prose reflect her modernist sensibilities, positioning the collection within a broader literary context that challenges traditional narrative forms and embraces introspective examination. Virginia Woolf, a pioneering figure in the modernist movement, was profoundly influenced by her own experiences with mental illness and the limitations placed on women during her time. Born into a talented family of writers and intellectuals, she cultivated a life devoted to literature and social change. These essays serve not only as a personal exploration but also as a reflection of her commitment to examining the intersection of individual and societal consciousness, drawing upon her rich background and experiences. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking to engage deeply with Woolf's intricate thoughts and stylistic innovations. It provides valuable insight into her literary genius and broader cultural critiques, making it a seminal work for anyone interested in modernist literature, feminist studies, or the philosophy of time.

Silencing White Noise - Six...

Willie Dwayne Francois

★ Publishers Weekly starred review 
 
"A superior volume on Christian antiracism."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent faith leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise--the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. 
 
In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair. Drawing from his anti-racism curriculum, the Public Love Organizing and Training (PLOT) Project, Francois encourages us to move from a "colorblind" stance of mythic innocence to one that takes an honest account of our national history and acknowledges our complicity in racism as a prelude to anti-racist interventions. 
 
Weaving together personal narrative, theology, and history, this book invites us to engage 6 "rhythms of reparative intercession." These are six practices of anti-racism that aim to repair harm by speaking up and "acting up" on behalf of others. Silencing White Noise offers concrete ways to help people wrest free from the dangers of racism and to develop lifelong Christian anti-racist practices.

Our Polyvagal World - How Safety...

Stephen W. Porges, Seth Porges

The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. 
 
 
 
Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea—that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness—has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. 
 
 
 
Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't. 
 
 
 
Filled with actionable advice and real-world examples, this book will change the way you think about your brain, body, and ability to stay calm in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming and stressful.
