Download or read book It Seems to Me written by Leonard C. Schlup and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important women of the 20th Century, Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was also one of its most prolific letter writers. Yet never before has a selection of her letters to public figures, world leaders, and individuals outside her family been made available to general readers and to historians unable to visit the archives at Hyde Park. It Seems to Me demonstrates Roosevelt's significance as a stateswoman and professional politician, particularly after her husband's death in 1945. These letters reveal a dimension of her personality often lost in collections of letters to family members and friends, that of a shrewd, self-confident woman unafraid to speak her mind. In her letters, Roosevelt lectured Truman, badgered Eisenhower, and critiqued Kennedy. She disagreed with the Catholic Church over aid to parochial schools, made recommendations for political appointments, expressed her opinion on the conviction of Alger Hiss. Some letters demonstrate her commitment to civil rights, many her understanding of Cold War politics, and still others her support of labor unions. As a whole, this collection provides unique insights into both Eleanor Roosevelt's public life, as well as American culture and politics during the decades following World War II.

Book excerpt: It Seems to Me was created to make the Bible more accessible to the average reader. It offers a sensible approach to the whole Bible, with the primary goal of helping people find modern paths through the ancient book. It focuses on such themes as the ancient context of the Bible, how language works, biblical images, the nature and limitations of theology, and changing understandings of reality in the search for those paths. The primary mission of the Bible teacher is to help people feel at home in the Bible. Most people know little bits and pieces of the Bible and can quote a few verses from various passages, but often there is little understanding of the central concerns and the overarching story of the Bible. This little book is intended to help Christians move toward that understanding and discover their identity and mission as the people of God.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Download or read book Psychotic Disorders written by Federico Durbano and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, with the involvement not only of clinical psychiatrists but also of neurobiologists, specific issues of psychotic disorders (mainly schizophrenia and mood disorders) are reviewed. The focus of attention ranges from therapeutics to the new frontiers of epigenetics. A special focus is on the individual reactions to psychosis (ranging from psychological ones to treatments and neurobiological basis). Because of the rapid development of neurosciences, which are showing common underling factors to different phenotypical expressions of mental illness, we are facing an enormous growth of biological data, which is not always easy to interpret. The risk is to forget that we are relating to other individuals, with their stories, and, most of all, with their environmental resources and interactions. The contributions to this book will range from individual experience (a personal history of illness) through some aspects of individual management of illness (insight), from correct use of available psychosocial resources to the environment-gene relationships (epigenetics).

That driver who upset you might be the oncologist you go to when an MRI shows you have a suspicious-looking growth in your abdomen. Sow kindness; reap kindness. If we hope to win others to Jesus, we must treat them kindly." This collection of articles written for the Adventist Review along with other meditations will touch your heart. Author R. Lynn Sauls offers his insights on a variety of subjects through these vignettes of life.
