Book excerpt: During the French Revolution, Jazelle l`Heaureau, of both royal and common blood, is betrothed to Laurent Picard. The man she loves, Charles Bruneau, chateau manager, battles customs and new laws to marry her before Picard, and save the chateau for her. While Charles is away fighting for his king the chateau is commandeered by the French Army under the command of Lieutenant Cardin, who appropriates Jazelle for himself. Wounded, Charles cannot keep her safe from Cardin, but her Uncle Fromert l'Heaureau can. Or is Fromert her father? Jazelle is sentenced to the guillotine. Will use of the family motto, We Conspire to Survive, and an American Indian totem allow her to escape? Will Charles return in time for the family to sail for the New France in Canada? …Outside the prison the bright spring sun blinded Jazelle. She stumbled forward behind ten others prisoners, a bayonet pricking her back. She felt blood warm against her skin. Feet stumbled behind her. The street was just wide enough for people to stand three or four deep, pressed against buildings. Jeering men and women waved red, white and blue cockades. Shouting, laughing, calling names, hurling curses. The prisoners shuffled down the steps onto the cobbles. Jazelle looked ahead. The guillotine blocked the end of the street, reaching to heaven, its iron frame black as hell, sunlight sparkling off the knife. Except at the blade end. Her throat constricted. She gasped for breath, pressed a fist against her chest, forced a breath…

Book Synopsis Keep Your Head to the Sky by : Grey Gundaker
Download or read book Keep Your Head to the Sky written by Grey Gundaker and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of African American home ground knits together diverse aspects of the American landscape, from elite suburbs and tower apartments to the old homeplaces of the countryside, to the tabletop array of family photos beside the bed of a housebound elder. This fascinating volume focuses on ways African Americans have invested actual and symbolic landscapes with signifigance, gained the means to acquire property, and brought new insight to the interpretation of contemporary, historical, and archaelogical sites. Keep Your Head to the Sky demonstrates how visions of home, past and present, have helped to shape African Americans' sense of place, often under extremely hostile conditions.

Book Synopsis Watch Your Head by : Kathryn Mockler
Download or read book Watch Your Head written by Kathryn Mockler and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A warning, a movement, a collection borne of protest. In Watch Your Head, poems, stories, essays, and artwork sound the alarm on the present and future consequences of the climate emergency. Ice caps are melting, wildfires are raging, and species extinction is accelerating. Dire predictions about the climate emergency from scientists, Indigenous land and water defenders, and striking school children have mostly been ignored by the very institutions – government, education, industry, and media – with the power to do something about it. Writers and artists confront colonization, racism, and the social inequalities that are endemic to the climate crisis. Here the imagination amplifies and humanizes the science. These works are impassioned, desperate, hopeful, healing, transformative, and radical. This is a call to climate-justice action. Edited by Madhur Anand, Stephen Collis, Jennifer Dorner, Catherine Graham, Elena Johnson, Canisia Lubrin, Kim Mannix, Kathryn Mockler, June Pak, Sina Queyras, Shazia Hafiz Ramji, Rasiqra Revulva, Yusuf Saadi, Sanchari Sur, and Jacqueline Valencia Proceeds will be donated to RAVEN and Climate Justice Toronto.
Book Synopsis Keeping My Head by : Charlotte Chapman
Download or read book Keeping My Head written by Charlotte Chapman and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 1112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiographical account speaks out about domestic violence, parental alienation and mental illness. In particular it expresses the damage done when family members refuse to admit there is a problem, and instead turn on the person who raises the alarm. This is the true story of a disappearance triggered by bullying – and a Facebook campaign that helped bring a missing man home. It documents five years of harassment of a family – harassment that caused behavioural problems, physical illness and ultimately, mental breakdown. Sections written by the author's daughter (now 17) give a child's eye view of living with abuse. Comments by readers include: “Utterly amazed by this objective record of an horrendous experience... the writing drew me in, in an intimate and personal way, producing all sorts of raw emotions. Moved to tears by the chapter on abused wives.” “Could not stop reading. I am simply stunned. Speechless.” “... an inspiration. I've no doubt this book will be invaluable to many women out there who have suffered/are suffering in similar circumstances.” “I could see a movie being made out of this book... there is a great storyline: lovely English woman with two wonderful daughters marries into the Great American Dream, which slowly turns into a nightmare.”
Book Synopsis Keeping Your Head in the Game by : Gary Bloom
Download or read book Keeping Your Head in the Game written by Gary Bloom and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on his work with elite athletes, the world's first sports psychotherapist on what to do when life throws you a curveball 'Cracking tales, a great read' Nigel Owens MBE, rugby union referee 'Absolutely fascinating . . . a genuine must-read for anyone interested in the human side of sport' Peter Drury, football commentator Elite athletes play out their lives in the most public of arenas. Everything they do is analysed in real time and then picked apart in the pub and in the press afterwards. 'Why did they miss that penalty?', 'What made them fall at the first jump?', 'That press conference was a bit weird.' We can all speculate, but what's really going on? In Keeping Your Head in the Game we peer into this highly confidential world. We follow the journeys of ten athletes in their therapy sessions with sports psychotherapist Gary Bloom, from a rugby player arrested for a drunken brawl, through a homesick cricketer on tour, to a snooker player struggling with his feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Structured around the emotions we all experience on a daily basis - shame, anger, fear, jealousy and envy, love - chapter by chapter, the book reveals, explains and attempts to resolve the inner traumas that have an impact on the performance of these sports personalities. Seeing how they overcome their demons is a powerful way of tackling our own and, as Gary says, happier players play better - in sport and in life. 'For anyone interested in competitive sport, what people have to do to get to the top and what that can do to the human psyche' Catherine Jackson, journalist and former editor of Therapy Today 'It's amazing how clubs invest in repairing the bodies of their players whilst largely ignoring their minds. Elite athletes are just as fragile as the rest of us. Happily change is on the way and this must-read book will only accelerate that' Jon Champion, football commentator

Book Synopsis Sustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership by : Emil Jackson
Download or read book Sustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership written by Emil Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustaining Depth and Meaning in School Leadership: Keeping Your Headconcerns the emotional and psychological experience of school leadership - in particular, the felt experience of life as a headteacher. It describes the pressures and rewards of their roles, together with some of the ways that school leaders successfully sustain and develop themselves and their teams in what has become an increasingly complex, challenging, and highly accountable role. This book explores the personal experience of leading schools. Section one provides an overview and analysis of current and historical trends in school leadership, and offers some theoretical frameworks for making sense of these. Section two then offers psychodynamic approaches to supporting and developing school leaders and the impact that trends in executive education continue to have on this. Section three looks at approaches to school leadership development more generally, including team development; influences from the business world; the growth of mentoring and coaching as a leadership intervention; the design and evaluation of leadership development programs and a case study on whole-system development. The last word is given to ten serving headteachers and deputies and their leadership journeys. This range of chapters, concepts and perspectives will support school leaders to maintain an emotional equilibrium while navigating the multi-layered tightrope of intra-psychic, interpersonal and organisational dynamics inherent in school life. Rooted in Jackson and Berkeley's belief that school leaders are likely to be at their best when they find their own unique and authentic way of taking up their leadership role, this book is an accessible, supportive and developmental contribution for all those involved in education leadership.

Book excerpt: The former CEO of Clif Bar, Co-founder of Plum, and serial entrepreneur offers insights about launching and growing a business while maintaining a fulfilled life in this practical guide filled with hard-won advice culled from the author’s own sometimes dark, raw experiences. With a foreword by Steve Blank. Aspiring entrepreneurs are told that to launch a business, you must go all in, devoting every resource and moment to making it work. But following this advice comes at an enormous personal cost: divorce, addiction, even suicide. It means sacrificing the intangibles that make life worth living. Sheryl O’Loughlin knows there is a better way. In Killing It, she shares the wisdom she’s gained from her successful experiences launching a company from the ground up (Plum), running two fast-growing companies (Clif Bar and REBBL), and mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs (Stanford University). She tells it like it is: If you don’t invest in your wellbeing, your business will not succeed, nor will you. Sheryl knows firsthand the difficulty of balancing the needs of her growing family with her physical and mental health, while managing other work and life challenges. In this warm, honest, and wise handbook, she gives you the essentials for killing it in business—without killing the rest of your life. Filled with real-life examples and anecdotes, Killing It addresses common questions including: How do you prepare your significant other for your business venture? How do you time launching and growing your business with the ebb and flow of family life? How do you find joy in the day-to-day? How do you maintain meaningful, supportive friendships? How do you walk away and start again? The ultimate life and business course, Killing It gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to start their enterprise and thrive—both in the office and at home.

Book excerpt: The course of teen love never did run smooth, but these days it seems bumpier than ever. Children are growing up faster and pushing the boundaries of sexuality earlier, as well as facing new kinds of pressures most parents have never even dreamed of. You cannot shut down your daughter's hormones. What she is feeling—the thrill of romantic anticipation and the euphoria of falling in love—is biologically programmed and age appropriate. But watching your daughter discover boys is both exciting and scary. Before you lies a major challenge: helping your daughter navigate the oncoming rush of romance during the young adolescent and teen years. Boy Crazy! shows you how to recognize and remember what your daughter is going through—the excitement of a first date, the throes of a first crush, or the pain of a first broken heart. It also gives you insight into what teen love is like today, and helps you establish yourself as your family’s authority on relationships—no longer will daughters feel starved for guidance and forced to turn to the suspect guidance of the media or peers. Learning how to enjoy romance and build healthy relationships are some of the most important skills to have throughout our lives. This book is a blueprint to understanding and helping your coming-of-age daughter start to develop those skills.

Book Synopsis Keep Your Head Held High by : Karl D. Maxwell
Download or read book Keep Your Head Held High written by Karl D. Maxwell and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-11-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is like no other you have read. You will find it intriguing and inspirational. You are taken on a unique journey of a man, Karl, faced with remarkable struggles, and his personal walk with God to help him survive. The story begins with the conflict of his religious upbringing and sexual orientation. Raised in a traditional Baptist faith which vehemently objects gays, he struggles to find meaning in life beginning at just eight years old. Pressure from his family to be the "perfect" child compounds his struggle, leaving him broken and confused. In an ironic parallel of homophobia and bigotry, Karl seeks acceptance for being gay as his parents once sought acceptance for being African American. He decides to leave home to establish his own identity and meets David, a powerhouse who takes him on a magic carpet ride of discovery and self-acceptance. Wise men say only fools rush in, but Karl doesn't listen. He is hungry for love and adventure but ends up with a little more than he bargained for. David's mix of sugar and spice takes Karl's breath away, and he builds his life around the most unique man he has ever met. Soon afterwards, Karl makes a best friend, Sam, and the trio develops a family based on unconditional love. The tie that binds them is their hunger to be loved simply as they are and not what others want them to be. What makes their story special is that they learn to love themselves notwithstanding the rejection of others and without the support of their families. From out of nowhere, tragedies strike that nearly destroy Karl to his core. He suddenly encounters a life he no longer recognizes and halts at the crossroad to destruction. Completely on his own, he struggles to reconcile his past from his future. The only thing he has is the faith he fostered as a little boy - which still conflicts with his adult identity. He is rescued by Robert, a chivalrous man. Like a broken doll and a damaged bird, Robert delicately pieces Karl back toge

By putting their true selves forward, they will pave the way for a true psychic match.
