Sinossi

In "The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder," William Hone deftly navigates the tumultuous waters of early 19th-century British monarchy, infusing his satirical narrative with elements of social critique and political commentary. Hone layers his prose with a mix of humor and gravitas, using the allegorical 'ladder' as a metaphor for the aspirational yet treacherous pathways to royal favor and union. This engaging text, reminiscent of political pamphlets of its time, reflects the complexities of marriage, power dynamics, and societal expectations during a period marked by both reform and turmoil in Britain. William Hone, a prominent figure in the literary and political landscape of his era, was renowned for his sharp wit and commitment to reform. His background as a bookseller and publisher provided him with a unique perspective on the intersection of literature and political discourse. Hone's disdain for the oppressive censorship of his time fueled his desire to craft works that could provoke thought and challenge the status quo, making "The Queen's Matrimonial Ladder" a product of both personal conviction and the collective yearning for greater freedom of expression. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay between monarchy and society. Hone's ability to weave satire into a richly textured narrative enables readers to grasp the nuances of an evolving British identity. By peering through Hone's incisive lens, readers will gain valuable insights into the machinations of power, the societal constructs that bind it, and the humor that often accompanies the absurdity of high office.

    There is one point that contemporary psychology and centuries old Eastern Buddhist and Taoist teachings agree on: if you wish to experience less suffering, you must change the way you see yourself. But what if the change that is needed is to let go of our selves entirely? What does this mean for those of us living in an increasingly self-obsessed and individualistic society? 
     
     
     
    In this compassionate and galvanizing book, Dr. Tom Davies gently invites you to consider the basic elements that define who you are. 
     
     
     
    ● In Part One, get to know your self. From the ground up, discover what the self truly is, how it links to identity, and how self-obsession is central to the human condition and the psychological pain that each of us experience. 
     
     
     
    ● In Part Two, overcome self-obsession. Free yourself from your psychological prison, and learn how to live the peaceful and joyful life that you deserve. 
     
     
     
    With a fresh and lucid style, Dr. Tom Davies combines his knowledge of the medical, psychological, and the philosophical to bring you real solutions to life's most challenging problems.

    Can educators continue to teach troubling but worthwhile texts? 
     
     
     
    Our current "culture wars" have reshaped the politics of secondary literature instruction. Due to a variety of challenges from both the left and the right—to language or subject matter, to potentially triggering content, or to authors who have been canceled—school reading lists are rapidly shrinking. For many teachers, choosing which books to include in their curriculum has become an agonizing task with political, professional, and ethical dimensions. 
     
     
     
    In Literature and the New Culture Wars, Deborah Appleman calls for a reacknowledgment of the intellectual and affective work that literature can do, and offers ways to continue to teach troubling texts without doing harm. Rather than banishing challenged texts from our classrooms, she writes, we should be confronting and teaching the controversies they invoke. Her book is a timely and eloquent argument for a reasoned approach to determining what literature still deserves to be read and taught and discussed.

    We all want the power and motivation to create change in our lives. But how to get that in a stumbling dance of one step forward and two steps back? Negative emotions run rampant in many people’s lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering. Popular fallback “solutions” of performance-based goals and tools focus on extrinsic rewards like fame, wealth, or winning. But overuse of those rewards doesn’t work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.It doesn’t have to be that way. Through three decades of researching and tracking such universal struggles to change our behavior, Dr. Kyra Bobinet unveils the way out, using novel neuroscience research on a compelling new brain area, the habenula. In this book, she reveals the habenula’s powerful role in killing our motivation and causing anxiety and depression and offers a foolproof way to escape its clutches.
