Cognitive and Emotional Aspects of Academic Performance

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (née Perkins; July 3, 1860 - August 17, 1935), also known by her first married name Charlotte Perkins Stetson, was an American humanist, novelist, writer, lecturer, advocate for social reform, and eugenicist. She was a utopian feminist and served as a role model for future generations of feminists because of her unorthodox concepts and lifestyle. She has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Her best remembered work today is her semi-autobiographical short story "The Yellow Wallpaper", which she wrote after a severe bout of postpartum psychosis.

Schönheit als Machtfrage: Wer im Fokus steht - und wer unsichtbar bleibtWas wir schön finden, ist keine private Geschmacksfrage. Sebastian Conrad zeigt, wie Macht, Politik, Märkte und Medien formen, was als schön und erstrebenswert gilt - und damit auch, wer Sichtbarkeit und gesellschaftliche Anerkennung gewinnt und wer ausgeschlossen bleibt.In seiner Weltgeschichte der Schönheit führt der profilierte Historiker vom frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart, von Europa und den Amerikas bis nach Afrika und Asien. An Phänomenen wie Bodybuilding, Miss-Wahlen, Kosmetik und Schönheitsoperationen zeigt er, wie Schönheitsnormen global zirkulieren und sich in Körper einschreiben, aber auch, wie sie umkämpft sind und immer neue Formen annehmen. Ein kluges, hochaktuelles Buch über das Regime der Schönheit - und darüber, wie tief sie unsere Wahrnehmung, unsere Selbstbilder und unser Leben prägt.

Plato's Apology - A Riveting Defense of Philosophy and the Pursuit of Truth
Step into the courtroom of ancient Athens and witness a moment that forever shaped the course of Western thought. Plato's "Apology" is not an apology in the modern sense but a powerful and eloquent defense of philosophy, virtue, and the examined life, as spoken by Socrates himself.

In this timeless dialogue, Socrates stands trial, accused of corrupting the youth and challenging the gods of Athens. Armed only with his words, he confronts his accusers with sharp logic, unyielding honesty, and a fearless pursuit of truth. His defense transcends the courtroom, posing questions that still resonate: What does it mean to live a good life? Is it better to suffer injustice than to commit it? And how should we face death?

Perfect for readers who:

Seek to explore the foundations of philosophy and ethics
Are inspired by courageous thinkers who challenge the status quo
Enjoy timeless debates on morality, justice, and the human spirit
"Plato's Apology" is more than a historical account-it's a bold challenge to live authentically, question boldly, and think deeply. Whether you're a seasoned philosopher or just beginning your journey into the classics, this is a must-read that will ignite your mind and stir your soul.

Dare to embrace wisdom. Add this cornerstone of philosophical thought to your collection today.

Plato's Apology

Collective and individual trials and tribulations are constant realities for Armenians in Turkey since 1923. More than a century after the Armenian Genocide, anti-Armenian public rhetoric and misrepresentations are commonplace in print and broadcast media, among government officials, public figures, and the general public. State discrimination against the Armenian community and the non-Muslim minorities in Turkey is as old as the Republic and has been institutionalized and structured over the decades. Against this background, The 'Other' Citizens: Armenians in Turkey presents a discussion of the two main schools of thoughts within the Armenian community in Turkey and highlights several sociological concepts that are useful to the understanding and analysis of the Turkish state's and society's treatment of the Armenians.

The 'Other' Citizens

Kamal Shair's book is a classic rags to riches story: the village boy, who with determination and education, achieves business success, wealth, more wealth, and then influence and power. What makes it unusual is that it emanates from the Arab world. Rarely among Arabs have individuals from thoroughly modest backgrounds, with no access to links, networks or connections become truly global commercial players. Shair was born in a small town in what was then Transjordan and dragged himself through school (his mother was illiterate), moved to college in Beirut, then sailed off to America (Michigan and Yale) and returned to the Middle East to create a multinational corporate empire engaged in trade, construction and manufacturing. Dar al Handasah - Arabic for House of Engineers - was founded in a small flat in Beirut and today, spans the globe with offices in 37 countries. In its early years, Dar al Handasah fought off competition from established western consultancies to win contracts for prestige engineering throughout the Middle East. Eventually, its activities extended further to Europe, the United States, Africa and Asia. By not following the usual pattern of patronage and favours, Kamal Shair applied a fresh kind of ethic in an environment with a loosely-structured business ethic. In the process, he lived through and witnessed at first hand and at close quarters some of the most dramatic events of the modern Arab world. This is quite an extraordinary tale and a very original prism through which to read the turbulent post-World War II history of the Middle East. At the same time we see the growth, despite all the odds, of one of the world's great engineering and business enterprises in a narrative of epic and inspirational proportions.

Out of the Middle East

Over the past two decades, Latin American politicians and activists have reckoned with their nations' histories of racism, forced displacement of native peoples, and inequality by acknowledging Indigenous communities as peoples preexisting the modern states. In Argentina-a nation long fixated on presenting itself as "white" and "European"-this shift has been dramatic. After decades of erasure and racism toward Indigenous peoples, Argentinian civil society is identifying Indigenous groups as not just an element from the past, but as nations central to the country's culturally plural and multiracial identity.
 
 In Urban Indigenous Assemblages, Ana Vivaldi considers how Argentina's urban Indigenous population fits into this recent political and social movement. To do this, she focuses on how the Qom Indigenous people-whose traditional territories are in northern Argentina-have moved to Buenos Aires, made homes in shantytowns alongside other migrants, and remade urban space by building Indigenous lives in the city. Starting from a Qom barrio in Greater Buenos Aires, Vivaldi traces how Qom peoples' travels to rural communities and movement across the city create complex networks and produce an urban life always in connection to other places. She argues that urban racialized indigeneities represent sites of contradictory relations visible and invisible to state actors and hypervisible to development agencies, as the Qom are expected to prove their authenticity and remove themselves from important relationships with nonwhite neighbors to access rights and recognition.
 
 Based on eighteen months of fieldwork, this book analyzes the historical process that created the barrio: the constant remaking of this Indigenous space in interaction with state institutions and NGOs, the links between the barrio and northern Argentina through travels "far out" to rural communities in the Chaco, and the expansion of "Indigenous territories" beyond bounded location.

The Souls of Black Folk: Essays and Sketches is a 1903 work of American literature by W. E. B. Du Bois. It is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature.

The book contains several essays on race, some of which had been published earlier in The Atlantic Monthly. To develop this work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African American in American society. Outside of its notable relevance in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works in the field of sociology.

In The Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois used the term "double consciousness", perhaps taken from Ralph Waldo Emerson ("The Transcendentalist" and "Fate"), applying it to the idea that black people must have two fields of vision at all times. They must be conscious of how they view themselves, as well as being conscious of how the world views them.

The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks asks 'Who speaks for the Catholic Church during a humanitarian crisis?' and answers that there is no single voice; only a plurality of Catholic actors whose relationships with the Holy See differ sharply, and whose humanitarian work is shaped as much by internal organisational dynamics and Church politics as by the crises they respond to.This book offers the first comparative study of three of the world's most significant Catholic humanitarian networks: the Caritas confederation, the Jesuit Refugee Service, and the Community of Sant'Egidio, through drawing on over thirty interviews and extensive fieldwork in Rome and the Vatican. Each network occupies a distinct status (dependent, semi-dependent, and independent organisations) in relation to Church hierarchy, producing strikingly different approaches to assisting refugees and forced migrants. Moving between the internal governance of the Church and the external landscape of secular humanitarianism, the book exposes a persistent and more nuanced "religious literacy gap" among UN agencies, donors, and NGOs working alongside faith-based partners. Combining an interpretivist, practitioner-informed methodology at the intersection of IR, religion, and humanitarianism, Dr Intropido directly engaged with diplomats, humanitarian workers, and Church officials, offering both a new theoretical account of religious actors in world politics and a practical checklist for anyone partnering with Catholic humanitarian organisations.The Politics of Catholic NGO Networks will be essential reading for students and scholars of religion and politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology of religion, humanitarian, development, and migration studies, and for practitioners navigating the increasingly visible role of religion in global affairs.

Über den Mut, die Orientierung zu verlierenEs geschah schleichend, dann mit voller Wucht: Carlotta Wald entglitt das Gefühl für die Welt, in der sie dachte zu leben. Begriffe entleerten sich: Was der Westen, was links oder rechts war - es verschwamm.Bis vor wenigen Jahren war alles politisch, die Lage war ernst: die Klimakatastrophe, die erodierende Weltordnung, neue Kriege, Fremden-, Frauen-, Queer-Feindlichkeit. Heute ist die Lage noch ernster, aber wir vor allem erschöpft. Wir haben die Überzeugung verloren, etwas bewirken zu können. Den Glauben daran, dass ein gutes, integres Leben möglich ist. Dass es etwas bringt, sich aufzuregen. Nur warum?Von ihrer eigenen Orientierungslosigkeit ausgehend, versucht Carlotta Wald einem Gefühl auf die Spur zu kommen: einer politischen und moralischen Erschöpfung. Dem Gefühl, politisch völlig ausgebrannt zu sein und nicht zu wissen, wieso. Es zieht sich durch alle Milieus. Niemand weiß mit der schwindelerregenden Gegenwart umzugehen. Alle suchen nach Halt.Wie konnte es dazu kommen? Und wie finden wir in der Gegenwart wieder Sinn? Wie kommen wir wieder zu Bewusstsein? Carlotta Walds Buch ist eine philosophische, persönliche, poetische Erkundung. Und ein Einspruch: Was, wenn wir uns jetzt nicht dem Reflex hingeben, wissen zu müssen, was ist, sondern den Mut aufbringen, die Orientierung verlieren - kurz mal nicht wissen, was Sache ist, um dann wieder klar zu sehen? Sich in diesen Zeiten&nbsp;lost zu fühlen, ist keine Schwäche. Es ist die notwendige Bedingung, um etwas Neues zu beginnen. Und zwar jetzt.&nbsp; 
'Dieses Buch zerschlägt die Scheiben eines verrückt gewordenen, rasend anmutenden, aber auf der Stelle stehenden Zuges und bittet uns auszusteigen, loszugehen - also tun wir das! Los!' Heike Geißler

A long-overdue analysis of how Black lesbians have asserted their lived experience through creative practice, pushing back against heteropatriarchal systems that deny them visibility.
 
 "We Must Document Ourselves Now" examines the essential but oft-ignored importance of Black lesbian literature and film in queer literary and film histories, arguing that Black lesbian cultural texts reflect creators' lived experiences and resist the heteropatriarchal systems that deny Black lesbians visibility in popular culture. Stephanie Andrea Allen contends that these texts have three goals: to lay bare the experiences of Black lesbians in a raced, gendered, classed, and homophobic society; to challenge the notion that claiming Black lesbian identity is marginal or forbidden; and to take care of Black lesbians by bearing witness to their experiences through creative practice.
 
 Insisting that Black feminist creative practice is an integral form of self and community care, Allen weaves analysis of cultural output spanning key sociocultural moments from 1974 to 2020 with interviews with Black lesbian cultural workers. "We Must Document Ourselves Now" examines the Black Arts / Black Power movement, the "boom" in lesbian and gay publishing, the so-called golden era of Black film, and twenty-first-century visual media to demonstrate how representations of Black lesbians, or lack thereof, were vital to constructing a cultural canon that focused on illuminating Black lesbian experiences in the United States.
