Avuncularism explores the fiction of Jane Austen, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and many other writers in order to argue that the "nuclear" nineteenth-century family was, in fact, far more fractured and contradictory than twentieth-century critics have assumed. One important and long-forgotten point of such fracture is the popular nickname given to pawnbrokers in the Victorian era: My Uncle. This fundamental connection between pawnbrokers and uncles provides the touchstone of the author's larger argument: that representations of the "avunculate" (a term borrowed from anthropology) in nineteenth-century literature and culture mark a preoccupation with the increasingly theorized and embattled directives of a new political economy.

"Humane, amusing, touching, and very satisfying."―Phillip Lopate, author of To Show and to Tell: The Craft of Literary Nonfiction

“Captivating and evocative and original.”―Grace Dane Mazur, author of The Garden Party

“In the wise and funny essays that make up Awake with Asashoryu, Elisabeth Sharp McKetta asks vital questions about what it means to forge an adult life of one’s own.”―Lynn C. Miller, author of The Unmasking and The Day After Death

At the heart of every essay in Elisabeth Sharp McKetta’s lively collection is the same question: How does one grow up without losing oneself? McKetta braids deceptively simple stories of her own life with the rich undercurrent of familiar childhood tales to reveal things both personal and universal and as close to the truth as possible.

Whether she is spending sleepless nights watching the sumo wrestler Asashoryu with her father, settling into a new life in a fishing hamlet in Cornwall, struggling with a beloved and ultimately untrainable corgi named Goblin, or emerging from a night in the woods rethinking who she might be, McKetta’s essays sparkle and twist round and about—funny and insightful and compelling.

Could there exist a love powerful enough to overcome the grave?

Hard times during the Great Depression force twenty-year-old Florence to leave her service at the monastery and seek employment. Fate brings her to work for a wealthy recluse, General Alexander Sterling. What she doesn’t know is that he has left his native country escaping a painful past. A past that he yearns to forget, but destiny won’t allow it as her presence brings it into complete focus.

Despite many daunting events and a meddling housekeeper with dark secrets of her own, Florence and Alexander fall deeply in love. And when an explosive truth shatters their blossoming romance, a mysterious stranger gives her an opportunity to travel back in time to unlock the secret to her existence.

Florence must strive to return to the present to save their relationship from the imminent danger that awaits them.

A battle is being fought—and most people don’t even know it’s happening.

In every corner of America today, familiar values are under siege. A hidden web of deception—woven by the rise of humanism, situational ethics, and secular ideologies—has infiltrated homes, communities, churches, and institutions. The result? A nation dangerously close to losing its moral foundation.

In Awaken, Dr. James J. Torkildson exposes the ideologies behind this cultural shift, revealing how deceptive narratives have quietly invaded society and reshaped what people believe about truth, morality, and faith. Drawing on his background as a psychologist, educator, and faith leader, Dr. T explains how these forces have fueled division, spiritual confusion, and the erosion of traditional values.

Awaken is not just a warning—it’s a guide. Through biblical insight, historical analysis, and practical strategies, Dr. T equips believers and open-minded readers to

• Uncover the lies behind today’s most dangerous ideologies
• Stand firm in biblical truth without fear
• Reclaim purpose, conviction, and spiritual clarity
• Engage in today’s culture war with wisdom and confidence

Awaken is an invitation to stand up, speak out, and defend the faith and freedoms that are slipping away.

Within its pages, you’ll learn: • why how we treat people matters, • how to connect with your people and inspire their loyalty, • how to stop a toxic office culture from infecting your team, and • how expectations drive excellence.

In post-apocalyptic New York, a young man accepts the challenge of a lifetime, joining an elite team to fight the monsters threatening humanity’s future.

Eleven years after the Mana Apocalypse, nineteen-year-old James Summers has more on his mind than just the flailing economy and a country full of monsters. Orphaned and living with his grandparents, he’s given up on college in favor of working at the Coney Island Home Depot while pining for Sally, his cool, beautiful colleague.

But it’s hard to ignore the news of dungeons opening up all over the country, both in cities and across lonely stretches of rural land. Mutated rats, crocodiles, and spiders pour out of them to face off against mankind, and all that stands in their way is the Awakeners, people who, in moments of great stress, are able to tap into the mana that now pulsates throughout the world.

When James receives the System message that he’ll join their ranks, naturally he’s thrilled. The Awakeners live like kings in powerful guilds and are solely responsible for humanity’s survival. Ever since his father—who worked for a mysterious agency—passed away, he’s wanted to follow in his footsteps to improve society. This is his chance to make that dream come true.

But when James joins the Awakeners Association, it quickly becomes apparent that not all is as it seems. The bureaucratic institution is weakening, and fraud and corruption are rife, while a conspiracy sprawls through the most powerful guilds. Meanwhile, Sally’s ex, Callum, is hot on his tail. Oh, and a dungeon is opening under Manhattan. As James develops his skills, he’ll have to be quick—and smart—to stay alive.

This innovative work is the first to approach the awakening of China as a historical problem in its own right, and to locate this problem within the broader history of the rise of modern China. It analyzes the link between the awakening of China as a historical narrative and the awakening of the Chinese people as a political technique for building a sovereign and independent state. In sum, it asks what we mean when we say that China “woke up” in this century.

The book follows the legend of China’s awakening from its origins in the European imagination, to its transmission to China and its encounters with a lyrical Chinese tradition of ethical awakening, to its incorporation and mobilization in a mass movement designed to wake up everyone. Fiction and fashion, architecture and autobiography, take their places alongside politics and history, and the reader is asked to move about among writers, philosophers, ethnographers, revolutionaries, and soldiers who would seem to have little in common.

The book focuses on the Nationalist movement in south China, highlighting the role of Sun Yat-sen as director of awakenings in the Nationalist Revolution and the place of Mao Zedong as his successor in the politics of mass awakening. Of special interest is the previously untold story of Mao’s role in the Nationalist Propaganda Bureau, showing Mao as a master of propaganda and discipline, rather than as peasant movement activist.

Students were involved in every aspect of the art-making, which has become central to the school's curriculum and well-being.

Lily Yeh founded Barefoot Artists, a volunteer organization that uses the power of art to revitalize impoverished communities. Yeh is also the co-founder and former director of The Village of Arts and Humanities that has brought to life over 200 abandoned lots in the most distressed districts of North Philadelphia.

Guide to Anxiety Relief for Spiritual People

“…a wonderful guide for anyone interested in awakening to a level of consciousness where anxiety simply does not exist.” ―Leonard Jacobson, author of Journey into Now and founder of the Conscious Living Foundation

Awakening from Anxiety author and counselor, Connie Habash, has helped hundreds of spiritual people like you overcome fear, experience anxiety relief, regain happiness, and feel calmer from within.

Spiritual people can suffer from anxiety and depression too. Often, people on a spiritual path have high expectations for themselves–so much so that they become more susceptible to perfectionism and high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either don’t work, don’t last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety.

The missing keys to managing anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash shows us a way to transform our perceptions using mindful awareness, to overcome fear, awaken from stress and worry, and deepen our spiritual awakening. In over 25 years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions.

Discover:

• What anxiety is and when it becomes a problem
  
• The 6 mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxiety
• The 7 keys to a more calm, confident, courageous life
• How to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true self
• Spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace
  

If you benefited from books such as Stop Anxiety from Stopping You; Spiritual Practice for Crazy Times; or First, We Make the Beast Beautiful; Awakening from Anxiety is a book you need to read.

Within the next decade, 100,000 class action Chinese plaintiffs, organized by New York trial lawyers, could sue General Motors, Toyota, General Electric, Mitsubishi, and a host of other blue-chip corporations in a US federal court for abetting China's denial of political rights, for observing China's restrictions on trade unions, and for impairing the Chinese environment. These plaintiffs might claim actual damages of $6 billion and punitive damages of $20 billion. Similar blockbuster cases are already working their way through federal and state court systems.

This nightmare scenario could become a reality because of a little-known, one-sentence law enacted in 1789—the Alien Tort Statute (ATS): "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States." In this policy analysis, Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Nicholas K. Mitrokostas examine the chilling impact the ATS could have on trade and foreign direct investment. They trace its history from the original intent to recent court interpretations, including a look at class action suits over asbestos and apartheid. They provide an economic picture of the potential scope of ATS litigation, cite the possible collateral damage, and review the impact that ATS rulings could have on global relations. The authors recommend measures Congress should take to limit expansive court interpretations. The study is a must-read for policymakers, international lawyers, and students.

Before 2019, coworking spaces were flourishing, however the COVID-19 pandemic put growth on hold. As organizations have begun to move towards more hybrid ways of working, they are becoming the preferred option and are particularly attractive for new business ventures. There are significant gaps in the research of coworking spaces: their forms, configurations, influences, challenges, and how to manage transformations of incumbents when establishing spaces. The trend is being noticed, but a better understanding of the phenomenon and a consideration of management innovations is needed to fully harness the true possibilities of coworking spaces.

In Awakening the Management of Coworking Spaces, the chapter authors combine a scientific approach with managing implications, developing theoretic constructs, reporting qualitative and quantitative findings about challenges, potentials, effects, managerial solutions, and success stories. The contributors are academics and practitioners, bringing together their research and real-world experiences to help organizations shape best practices.

An applicable and scholarly collection of chapters offers the latest research on coworking spaces – both the benefits and challenges – and provides a roadmap for corporations to get the best out of their employees whilst maximising their potential.

The Middle East is one of the world’s most volatile regions. In recent years, from the optimism and then crushing disappointment of the Arab uprisings through the rise and fall of the Islamic State, it has presented key international security challenges. With the resilient jihadi terror threat, large-scale migration due to warfare and climate change, and fierce competition for control over oil, it promises to continue to be a powder keg. What ignited this instability?

Gilles Kepel, called “France’s most famous scholar of Islam” by the New York Times, offers a clear and persuasive narrative of the long-term causes of tension while seamlessly incorporating on-the-ground observations and personal experiences from the people who lived through them.

From the Yom Kippur/Ramadan war of 1973 to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, Away from Chaos weaves together the various threads that run through Middle East politics and ties them to their implications on the global stage. With keen insight stemming from decades of experience in the region, Kepel puts these chaotic decades in perspective and illuminates their underlying dynamics. He also considers the prospects of emerging from this long-lasting turmoil and for the people of the Middle East and the world to achieve a more stable future.

The author explores the thought of one of the most important contemporary philosophers, Axel Honneth, in his attempt to develop a critical theory of society and to develop a third way between liberalism and republicanism. At the heart of this attempt is the concept of recognition, which is explored in all its multiple dimensions in order to develop a new image of subject, society, and freedom.

Tagalog, an Austronesian language, is widely spoken and understood throughout the Philippine archipelago where it served as the basis for the national language Filipino. The language is often cited for its many unusual linguistic properties. Drawing on both spoken fieldwork data and written data from novels, this study investigates several phenomena at Tagalog’s interface of information structure and morphosyntax.

Aside from the default predicate-initial word order, the Tagalog language has several information-structurally marked constructions that allow other constituents to appear in the sentence initial position. One of these constructions is ay-inversion. Although it is often labeled a topic-marking construction, it is actually far more versatile. This book aims to explore some of its many facets.

The investigation of ay-inversion begins with a survey of its various uses that appear in the data, including some that have to date received very little if any attention in the literature, such as reversed ang-inversion, which combines two of the language’s inversion constructions. Selected observations are then modeled in Role and Reference Grammar and their implications for Tagalog syntax are explored. Finally, the role of ay-inversion in anaphora resolution is investigated and selected processes are modeled in a frame-based account.

Taylor Swift tiene muchísimas buenas canciones, lo que equivale a decir que es banda de sonido de infinidad de recuerdos, ilusiones y promesas. El modo en que volaron las entradas del Eras Tour en Buenos Aires y la tensión feliz de la espera pusieron en el centro de la escena el fenómeno Taylor, pero solo para el ojo no entrenado, porque los y las swifties de este lado del mundo la amaban ya desde las primeras eras. 

Este libro recoge alrededor de cien testimonios: sus sueños con la más cercana de las divas, las fantasías con esa persona que nos canta mirándonos a los ojos, que nos contiene y que nos explica. 

Entendemos a Taylor porque ella nos entiende y porque la vimos crecer ante nuestros ojos.

“In this beautiful gem about a girl who wants to learn to read, letters burst forth from imagery done in cut-paper collage and a rainbow of color, each page telling its own story with a quiet, understated voice.” — B.C. (New York Times)

The war is over and little Ayobami can finally go to school. Everyone is extremely happy, and joy is all over the town. The children are excited to go to school and have a great time, but Ayobami is so impatient that she cannot wait for the other kids and decides to go to class alone.

To keep her from getting lost, Ayobami’s father builds a paper boat and pushes it out into the river, telling her, "If you follow it downstream, you will arrive at the schoolhouse.” But when the ship sinks, Ayobami must find another way to school through the winding paths of the jungle.

With only the help of a paper and a spent pencil, Ayobami sets off on an exciting journey with a fundamental objective: to learn to read and write. Will the wild animals from the jungle allow her to reach her destination safely?
