  Spanish So White - Conversations...

  Explicit discussions of race and racial identity have traditionally been omitted from Spanish language education in the US – especially in curricula designed for imagined 'native' speakers of English. Consequences of this de-racialization of Spanish language learning include the perpetuation of institutional racisms and missed opportunities to build productive conversations about the ways race and power are enacted through language. Spanish So White is written specifically for secondary and post-secondary teachers who identify as White and second language learners of Spanish. It supports the development of language education that centers a racially dynamic Spanish-speaking world and challenges interpersonal and institutional forms of racism. Author Adam Schwartz shares stories of his own socialization into Whiteness and Spanish-English bilingualism. He invites readers into the work of reconciling privileges they too may share as White Spanish-language learners and teachers.

  Janet Howard walks a healing path guided by intuition, the natural world, and the quiet wisdom of those who walk with her — seen and unseen. Her love for the planet has always been at the forefront, but it’s through reconnecting with her younger self that she reclaims the silenced parts of her story — her voice, creativity, and truth. In releasing what no longer serves and honoring the resilience she carries, she offers her work as both remembrance and invitation: to live more freely, more wholly, and in tune with the sacred.

  When it comes to taking action, making good decisions, and cultivating inner peace, there's a unique factor in life that only you can give to yourself. 
   It's called " solitude." 
   For many people, the idea of being alone triggers fear and discomfort, even for short periods of time. But in this book, we'll explore the mental layers of the human psyche in a simple and practical way, and challenge the notion that loneliness is something to be feared. 
   Inside this book, you'll find a wealth of psychological concepts explained in a straightforward and accessible manner, all focused on the power of solitude and what it means to be alone. We'll provide examples and tips that are easy to incorporate into your daily life, helping you chart a clear course towards achieving your goals. 
   You'll learn how to not only enjoy your moments in solitude, but also how to value them and make the most of every minute. These moments will become the foundation of your character and thoughts, bringing you a sense of calm even during life's most challenging moments. 
   The path of life is different for everyone, and each person is the architect of their own destiny. 
   However, consider this 
   The difference between a person who earns $1 million and another who earns $100 may be just a few hours spent in solitude. The difference between those who achieve their dreams and those who don't may be how they spend their alone time. Even those who have lost everything in life can completely transform their circumstances through productive solitude. 
   So ask yourself, would you pay more attention to the moments you spend alone if you knew they could be the key to unlocking success in all aspects of your life? 
   To truly enjoy and excel in any area of life, we must learn to make the most of our solitary moments and above all understand one of the most important principles in life "The power of being alone"

  For ALL the People - Redeeming...

  "Slaby is the Yuval Noah Harari of media. He pointedly outlines the fracture of our culture and democracy while providing hopeful next steps for how we can redesign our systems for a more civically-minded world."
  
  —Megan Kiefer, author of The Third Dimension of Literacy
  A leader in digital communication and grassroots political campaigns explains how the internet and modern media have undermined America and how we can reclaim our voices for the good of civic life.
  The creators of the internet promised us jetpacks: better experiences, more choices, and deeper relationships.
  Built on a diversity of voices, our online freedom was supposed to spark a democratic transformation. But our platforms don't work for us—we're the inventory and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit, not civic life.
  As one of the top digital strategists for Barack Obama's two presidential campaigns, Michael Slaby saw the beginning of a new kind of national division. What he witnessed would spawn the Tea Party movement, upset the 2016 election, and accelerate the polarization of American civic life.
  Slaby presents the four core areas which can be reclaimed to work better for all of us: platforms, government institutions, corporations, and even the users ourselves. Optimistic, future-focused, and deeply passionate, For ALL the People breaks down how we got here, and how we, the users, can work toward a better democracy through tech.

  The ADHD Consultation Hour ADHD...

  The first edition of the 'small ADHD consultation', published in 2014, was originally created to provide my patients with a quick overview of the broad field of ADHD symptoms in adults as summarised as possible. It was important to me to integrate accompanying disorders and therapeutic options such as medication and coaching strategies. It is not uncommon for the underlying ADHD symptoms to be masked by disorders that develop later (such as obsessive thinking, anxiety, panic attacks and addictions). Only abnormalities in childhood, such as dreaminess or motor restlessness with impulsiveness, allow conclusions to be drawn. Patients and friends were kind enough to embellish this book with their contributions, sketches, pictures and poems. The significantly expanded 3rd edition of the 'Little ADHD Consultation' is due to the increased needs and demands of my patients and the new findings concerning ADHD. New topics such as neurofeedback, medication overview, neurobiological aspects and autistic accompanying phenomena as well as legal aspects and cannabis medication have been included. I wish you many A-HA experiences with this expansion.
