Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT AND PHILOSOPHY Is George Michael’s crush on his cousin unnatural? Is it immoral for Lindsay to lie about stealing clothes to hide her job? Is Gob better off living his life in bad faith? What inferences can we draw from Tobias’s double-entendres? Are the pictures really of bunkers or balls? The Bluth family’s faults, foibles, and character flaws are so excruciatingly familiar that we squirm in painful recognition of the outrageous impulses that we all have but would never act on. The Bluths seem utterly unaware of the gaping distance between their behavior and accepted social norms. Lurking behind this craziness are large moral and philosophical issues to be explored. From Plato to Aristotle, from Descartes to Marx, Arrested Development and Philosophy draws from great philosophical minds to shed new light on the show’s key questions and captivating themes, including the nature of self-knowledge and happiness, business ethics and capitalist alienation, social class, the role of error in character development, and much more.

Book excerpt: We celebrate this milestone; however, we recognize that, as authors, we are responsible for providing readers with essential, up-to-date factual material, policy trends, and changes in law enforcement practices, leadership, emotional intelligence, and mental health. For law enforcement practitioners, Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the capacity to effectively and efficiently perceive and process emotions. Emotional Intelligence (EI), by definition, is the ability to motivate and endue oneself despite frustration; to control impulses and postpone satisfaction; to manage feelings and keep trouble from overwhelming the ability to think; to emphasize and to hope-the ability to manage EI abilities with the mindset, personality, and temperament. EI merges two of three mental cognition and the effects of intelligence and emotion. EI allows individuals to know and understand themselves, control their actions, plan, adapt to change, manage conflict, relate, and understand others, and build deep, meaningful relationships. Emotions are the result of cognitive interpretation of situations. EI relies on the individual's capacity, determined by variables, which include character and power, to learn new data, gather data, and participate in rational critical thinking. The Approach of This Text In learning about Emotional Intelligence, observers can gain a unique understanding of how the four competencies of Emotional Intelligence intersect-beginning with Self-awareness and the capacity of how it is perceived through one's feelings correctly at the time. Emotions are reactions to the world around us; where do they derive? Self-awareness has a clear sense of character and integrity, including strengths, weaknesses, ideas, beliefs, motives, and emotions. In organizational practices, self-control and self-awareness are the difference between an outstanding public administrator and an outstanding organization. The key assumptions run throughout this book. One concerns the nature of EI as a discipline; the other concerns the best way to analyze EI. EI is interdisciplinary. Criminal justice, sociology, psychology, history, law, and political science contribute to our understanding of EI. This cross-fertilization is enriching, yet it requires familiarity with vast literature. This text is structured with a strong focus on coherence, making this interdisciplinary approach comprehensible yet accessible. EI is a system. In our book, the concept of EI serves as a framework for

Book excerpt: The mysterious death of a journalist pulls Washington fixer Joe DeMarco into a conspiracy of power and politics in “one of the best thrillers of the year” (Booklist). Author of House Witness, 2019 Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel Days after claiming he had a lead on a story that would make Watergate look like a misdemeanor, a mediocre writer from the Washington Post is found accidentally drowned. But Joe DeMarco’s boss—the Speaker of the House—thinks there’s nothing accidental about it. Mostly because the reporter was on the trail of Senator Paul Morelli. Morelli is all but a shoe-in for the Democratic presidential nomination. But his golden boy public persona hides a monstrous character. Somehow, all of his sinister scandals seem to be cleaned up by a mysterious benefactor who stays just out of sight. Setting up a sting to catch the predatory Morelli, DeMarco thinks his job is done—until those who helped him with the sting start turning up dead. And unless he can uncover the powerful people who are protecting Morelli, DeMarco knows he’s next . . . In this chilling novel of unfettered power and final justice, Mike Lawson proves once again that he “has a true insider’s insight about real-world spinelessness, venality, and corruption that have taken the place of moral courage and true leadership on Capitol Hill” (The Washington Times).

Book excerpt: Yoga is for everyone. Not being a “Yoga Practitioner” should not stop one from reading or referring to this book. Iyengar Yoga accommodates and teaches every student the many variations and levels of Asana and Pranayama practice. Where the teacher’s role finishes, the student’s real role begins. Studying the mind through our body via practice of Asanas and Pranayama is a practical and clinically examinable approach. This is the foundation of Iyengar Yoga Practice. However, this approach as practical as it may be, also gives rise to many questions, queries and doubts. Some of them might be simple while others may be complex requiring analysis and time for answers This book is our earnest effort to answer many such questions. Divided into 5 sections – Women’s Health, Fat Loss, Savasana and Pranayama, Intermediate and Light on Yoga for youth, each section talks to its target group of students, yet, it is not limited to one or either group. It is a humble effort to help students, teachers or curious minds to clear doubts about Yoga, Iyengar system in particular. Our aim at Shriyog is to create independent students and long-term practitioners who have complete control of their physical health, diet, breath and mind. This is a small step towards it.
Download or read book No One Can Arrest Our Dreams written by Clarice O. Thomas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A narrative inquiry into the lives of three men, Robert, Raheem, and Warren, this book shares their stories about over-discipline in school, adverse teacher-student relationships, and violent community policing that proceeded and intersected with their involvement in the criminal justice system. After being incarcerated, the men restored their dreams through the same structure that helped remove them from society—the education system. This book critically analyzes the school policies and individual practices that inflict educational harm upon the lives of students who experience criminalization, disengagement, and lack connectedness and a sense of belonging at school. The narratives center the voices of three men who describe how home environments and educational policies and practices structure schools into locations where Black and other minoritized students are forced to survive. Their stories help examine how criminalized experiences—school removal and incarceration—intersect with historical and social factors that create anti-Black practices in schools and communities. These narrative accounts are critical pedagogical tools for those who work with Black, Latinx, low-income, and other minoritized youth. Readers will have a more in-depth understanding about how Black males experience schools, neighborhoods, and the world. This volume will appeal to teachers and teacher educators in K-12 schools, colleges, and universities. More specifically, faculty in programs that lead to elementary, middle, and secondary education certifications can incorporate the stories into courses around cultural diversity, equity and inclusion, social justice, and humanizing pedagogies. Community organizations can use the narrative accounts to create spaces for transformative conversations that aim to improve school and community policing practices.

Download or read book The Arrest written by Jonathan Lethem and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The Feral Detective and Motherless Brooklyn comes an utterly original post-collapse yarn about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car. The Arrest isn’t post-apocalypse. It isn’t a dystopia. It isn’t a utopia. It’s just what happens when much of what we take for granted—cars, guns, computers, and airplanes, for starters—quits working. . . . Before the Arrest, Sandy Duplessis had a reasonably good life as a screenwriter in L.A. An old college friend and writing partner, the charismatic and malicious Peter Todbaum, had become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. That didn’t hurt. Now, post-Arrest, nothing is what it was. Sandy, who calls himself Journeyman, has landed in rural Maine. There he assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm. But then Todbaum shows up in an extraordinary vehicle: a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor. Todbaum has spent the Arrest smashing his way across a fragmented and phantasmagorical United States, trailing enmities all the way. Plopping back into the siblings’ life with his usual odious panache, his motives are entirely unclear. Can it be that Todbaum wants to produce one more extravaganza? Whatever he’s up to, it may fall to Journeyman to stop him. Written with unrepentant joy and shot through with just the right amount of contemporary dread, The Arrest is speculative fiction at its absolute finest.
