Meili's Gift

The Amazing Adventures of Magical Giant Pandas

By: Barbara Kristoff,Rosemary Woods

Meili is an imaginary giant panda with a special gift. Guided by a strange and powerful Buddhist monk, Meili learns to use the extraordinary gift she has inherited from her ancestors to understand and even influence the thoughts of others. The stories in this book tell of the unusual and fascinating lives of her ancestors, beginning with her great-great-grandmother Bao Bao and continuing through several generations of giant pandas. As the gift showed up generation after generation in Meili’s family tree, it changed as it adapted to those different personalities. When the gift eventually found its way to Meili, it allowed her to communicate with Wenling on a deep and meaningful level, changing Wenling’s life and helping her find her destiny.

Sexism in America

Alive, Well, and Ruining Our Future

By: Barbara J. Berg

The news in 2008 was that women had taken huge strides forward. Feminists' decades-long struggle finally seemed to be paying off, not only in boardrooms, classrooms, and kitchens but also at the very top-in presidential politics. But what is the truth behind the headlines? In Sexism in America: Alive, Well, and Ruining Our Future, renowned feminist author Barbara J. Berg debunks the many myths about how far women have come and the pervasive belief that ours is a post-feminist society. Combining authoritative research and compelling storytelling, Berg traces the assault on women's status from the 1950s-when Newsweek declared "for the American girl, books and babies don't mix"-to the present, exploring the deception about women's progress and contextualizing our current situation. All women are hurt by a society lauding their attributes in speeches while scorning them in public policy and popular culture, and the legacy of the women's movement is being short-circuited in every aspect of their lives. Passionate, extensively documented, humorous, and persuasive, Sexism in America is simultaneously enlightening, frightening, and revitalizing. Berg, an ardent optimist, helps women understand where they are and why and how they can move beyond the marginalizing strategies. It is exactly the right book at exactly the right time"--Provided by publisher.

The Jungian Inspired Holocaust Writings of Etty Hillesum

To Write is to Act

By: Barbara Morrill

Within this fascinating new book, Barbara Morrill analyses the journal writings of Etty Hillesum, a young Jewish woman in the 1940s, as she began analysis with a Jungian oriented practitioner in 1941. While Anne Frank is an inspirational figure, little is known about Etty Hillesum, also from Amsterdam, who kept a diary recounting her life and experiences during early World War II. This book is a compelling example of how we can use Etty Hillesum’s writings in the present to stand firm against the problems we’re currently facing globally. Being a Jungian oriented Integral psychologist and professor, the author examines what Hillesum recorded in her time, as well as employing Etty’s ideas to illuminate the chaos in our time. She explores Hillesum’s own process of individuation and realization, encouraging others to “develop yourselves!” This will be a unique volume of interest to Jungian analysts, analysts in training, as well as readers with an interest in the time period and concern about democracy and “our times.”

The Freedom Riders Across Borders

Contentious Mobilities

By: Barbara Lüthi

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Freedom Riders Across Borders

Contentious Mobilities

By: Barbara Lüthi

The Freedom Riders Across Borders: Contentious Mobilities provides the first comprehensive transnational historical analysis of the Freedom Rides. It explores the transnational history of these social movements and the struggles for the right to mobility and other civil rights in the United States of America, Australia, and Palestine between 1961 and 2011. This book makes a significant contribution to the transnational studies of social movements and the burgeoning field of mobility studies by investigating the specific constellations of mobility as historically and geographically specific formations of movement as well as investigating how the images, ideas and strategies of Freedom Riders were adapted, translated, and moved across time and space. Foremost, this book speaks to the pressing questions of the past and present concerning the politics and inequalities of mobilities impacting different social groups in different ways. From a historical perspective, it gives answers to the intensified interest and questions concerning the dynamics, techniques and "contentious politics" of social movements in a globalized environment. The book details how the question of mobility has come to constitute political conflict and protest over norms, restrictions, and representations. It shows not only that mobility is a differentially accessed resource which shapes and is shaped by political processes, but also that contestation is an equal part of forming mobility. The book identifies vehicles as a mobile site of contestation and, in the context of the Freedom Rides, as a site of strategic political action. In doing so, Lüthi makes a persuasive case for mobility to be given a central place in the study of progressive social movements. As such, this book will be of great interest to researchers in a number of disciplines, including history, geography and sociology.

Learning Difficulties: Is Your Doom Sealed?

By: Barbara Koblenz

CHILDREN'S DIFFICULTIES COULD BE ALLEVIATED and/or ELIMINATED PRIOR TO PRE-SCHOOL AGE. The number of children suffering developmental and learning difficulties is growing by the day. Developmental and Learning Difficulties are not generated in school instead, the child is born with it. This is the story of special toddlers, including my own child, that were able to overcome major difficulties while implementing my innovative model.

This 'window of opportunity' for neuro-pathways building is open from birth to one year of age.
