Summary

In "Of Plymouth Plantation (Complete Edition)," William Bradford offers a captivating first-hand account of the early years of the Plymouth Colony, detailing the trials and tribulations faced by the Pilgrims who sought religious freedom in the New World. Bradford's literary style is characterized by a puritanical earnestness and a rich, narrative-driven prose that weaves together personal reflections, historical events, and theological insights. This work serves not only as a vital historical document but also as a testament to the complexities of faith and community in the face of hardship, grounding it within the larger narrative of America's founding and the quest for liberty. William Bradford, the colony's second governor and an influential leader, drew from his own experiences as an English Separatist to convey the struggles and triumphs of his fellow settlers. Escaping religious persecution in England, Bradford's dedication to preserving the memory of the Pilgrims' journey reflects his commitment to their cause and his understanding of history as a moral narrative aimed at future generations. His leadership during the establishment of the colony and his role as a chronicler profoundly shaped the cultural and historical legacy of early America. "Of Plymouth Plantation" is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, religious studies, or early colonial life. Bradford'Äôs profound insights and eloquent prose offer an intimate look at a pivotal moment in history, making this work a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike who seek to understand the values, struggles, and triumphs that continue to resonate in the American narrative.

    In 1974, Judge George Boldt issued a ruling that affirmed the fishing rights and tribal sovereignty of Native nations in Washington State. The Boldt Decision transformed Indigenous law and resource management across the United States and beyond. The case also brought about far-reaching societal changes, reinforcing tribal sovereignty and remedying decades of injustice. 
 
 
 
Eminent legal historian and tribal advocate Charles Wilkinson tells the story of the Boldt Decision against the backdrop of salmon's central place in the cultures and economies of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1960s, Native people reasserted their fishing rights as delineated in nineteenth-century treaties. In response, state officials worked with non-Indian commercial and sport fishing interests to forcefully oppose Native actions. These "fish wars" spurred twenty tribes and the United States government to file suit in federal court. Boldt pointedly waited until Lincoln's birthday to hand down a decision recognizing the tribes' right to half of the state's fish. The case's aftermath led from the Supreme Court's affirmation of Boldt's opinion to collaborative management of the harvest of salmon. 
 
 
 
Treaty Justice weaves personalities and local detail into the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most important civil rights cases.

    A new model of executive functioning which illuminates the somatic, social, and emotional influences on how we make decisions. 
 
Executive functioning (EF) can be defined as a person's ability to successfully navigate their physical, intellectual, and social worlds. Interest in EF is expanding within psychotherapy, but like many scientific concepts which are adapted to the consulting room, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation surrounding EF within clinical and lay communities. 
 
In this book, Louis Cozolino—a master of translating complex neuroscientific concepts into digestible, applicable literature for therapists and laypeople alike—is joined by experts Chloe Drulis and Carly Trissler to illuminate how our brains and minds successfully navigate the challenges of day—to—day life. The book offers a new, neurodynamic model of EF that explains the three main executive systems in the brain and the specific ways that they influence how we think, focus, and solve problems. This neurobiological framework highlights the interconnectedness of cognition, emotion, and relationships, providing readers with a deeper understanding of how humans function and strategies to improve outcomes in therapy, parenting, executive coaching, and personal development.
