Book excerpt: READ THE FINAL FIRSTHAND ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF ARNHEM BRIDGE FROM FORMER PARATROOPER JOHN HUMPRHEYS, AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR STUART TOOTAL 'The last of the legends. A gripping, visceral and immensely moving read. Courage beyond measure, coupled with humility to act as a lesson to us all. No more fitting tribute – we remember them' Damien Lewis ---- A powerful and authentic account of one soldier's war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all points in between. John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight. Aged 101, Humphreys began to pen his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Para is Humphrey’s parting gift, and the final time we will read an account from a soldier of our Greatest Generation bearing witness to the heroism and sacrifice of this legendary action – told with incredible honesty and irrepressible spirit.

Download or read book On Be come ing a Woman of Wisdom written by Patricia Spinoza and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of this memoir picks up where Volume 1 left off with the author on her way to the Krishnamurti Educational Center in Alresford, England, about 60 miles southwest of London, to live and study in this spiritual community. As she turns from the external journey of her youth and young adulthood to an inward psychic journey, devastating and sublime in its revelations, we witness the author’s continued quest to explode her natural sexual Shakti Energy into an influential and artful feminine wisdom. From mid-life to cronehood, we wonder at the unfolding of a relationship of chaos and love, at her embracing of celibacy, join her in the darkness of unknowingness, and journey into the hidden influence of the patriarchy. We cheer as she meets the challenges of attaining her bona fides as a Process Work therapist and delight in witnessing her heart opening during three months volunteering at an orphanage in India. Further, we follow the author’s growing psychological and emotional maturity through sorceric maneuvers and psychedelic medicine work. Her journey culminates in an unexpected relationship with a tantric partner that, through their united body energies, leads to a vast, formidable, and sustained opening to sublime joy and connection with the very fabric of life. In this and the previously published volume, the author unashamedly exemplifies a pathway through conventional, societal, and familial limits to the hidden spiritual truths behind women’s sexuality and truth-telling. These two books are nothing less than a call for women in every walk of life to dare to embrace their personal stories, family lineage, intimate relationships, motherhood, and sexual energies with wonder and curiosity and courageously tell their stories. The author proposes that this vital ownership and declaration by women of their full feminine wisdom and power is the key to reshaping our society and sustaining the beauty and plentitude of planet Earth so she can sustain us.
Download or read book Intersectionality and Group Analysis written by Suryia Nayak and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on clinical practice, this book explores how the Black feminist idea of intersectionality is vital to all group work practices, including group analysis. Intersectionality enables exploration of power, position, and privilege in group work; this volume is an argument for the ‘decolonizing’ of therapeutic group training, practice, and institutional traditions. The wide range of contributors discuss the impact of intersectionality on their work within group analysis, from clinical examples to theoretical reflections. Chapters span topics such as leadership, racism, working with survivors of sexual violence, and the experience of being a political refugee. Intersectionality and Group Analysis provides a space to develop clinically relevant theory for the future and includes an accessible introduction to the concepts of intersectionality. This essential text will be key reading for group analysts, other professionals working with and within groups, and readers looking to learn more about enhancing diversity within structures and organizations.

Good and evil are going to clash as the righteous now decide to fight Aleister. Chrysalis is the first in the Aleister Crowley Trilogy: The House on Boleskine.
Download or read book Women of Color written by Elizabeth Brown-Guillory and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the mother-daughter relationship has never been greater, yet there are few books specifically devoted to the relationships between daughters and mothers of color. To fill that gap, this collection of original essays explores the mother-daughter relationship as it appears in the works of African, African American, Asian American, Mexican American, Native American, Indian, and Australian Aboriginal women writers. Prominent among the writers considered here are Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Maxine Hong Kingston, Cherrie Moraga, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Amy Tan. Elizabeth Brown-Guillory and the other essayists examine the myths and reality surrounding the mother-daughter relationship in these writers' works. They show how women writers of color often portray the mother-daughter dyad as a love/hate relationship, in which the mother painstakingly tries to convey knowledge of how to survive in a racist, sexist, and classist world while the daughter rejects her mother's experiences as invalid in changing social times. This book represents a further opening of the literary canon to twentieth-century women of color. Like the writings it surveys, it celebrates the joys of breaking silence and moving toward reconciliation and growth.
