Описание: "This is history at its most immediate and moving....A marvelous and memorable book." --Jon Meacham"The Only Plane in the Sky is a stunning and important work--chilling, heartbreaking--and I cannot stop thinking about it." --Anderson CooperThe first comprehensive oral history of September 11, 2001--a panoramic narrative woven from the voices of Americans on the front lines of an unprecedented national trauma. Over the past eighteen years, monumental literature has been published about 9/11, from Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower, which traced the birth and rise of al-Qaeda, to The 9/11 Commission Report, the government's definitive factual retrospective of the attacks. But one perspective has been missing up to this point--a 360-degree account of the day told through the voices of the people who experienced it. Now, in The Only Plane in the Sky, award-winning journalist and bestselling historian Garrett Graff tells the story of the day as it was lived--in the words of those who lived it. Drawing on never-before-published transcripts, recently declassified docu-ments, original interviews, and oral histories from nearly five hundred government officials, first responders, witnesses, sur-vivors, friends, and family members, Graff paints the most vivid and human portrait of the September 11 attacks yet. It begins in the predawn hours of airports in the Northeast, where we meet the ticket agents who unknowingly usher ter-rorists onto their flights, and then the flight attendants inside the hijacked planes themselves. In New York City, first responders confront a scene of unimaginable horror at the Twin Towers. From a secret bunker underneath the White House, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice watch for incoming planes on radar. In the offices of the Pentagon, top officials feel the violent tremor as their headquarters comes under attack. Aboard the small number of unarmed fighter jets in the air, pilots make a pact to fly into a hijacked airliner if necessary to stop it from reaching its target. In the skies above Pennsylvania, civilians aboard United Flight 93 make the ultimate sacrifice in their place. Then, as the day moves forward and flights are grounded across the country, Air Force One circles the nation alone, its passengers isolated and afraid. More than simply a collection of eyewitness testimonies, The Only Plane in the Sky is the historic narrative of how ordinary people grappled with extraordinary events in real time: the father and son working on separate floors in the North Tower, caught on different ends of the impact zone; the firefighter who rushes to the scene to search for his wife who works at the World Trade Center; the operator of in-flight telephone calls who keeps her promise to share a passenger's last words with his family; the beloved FDNY chaplain who stays on the scene to perform last rites for the dying, losing his own life when the Towers collapse; the newly widowed young father who picks his infant daughter up from daycare for the first time as a single dad; the teachers who hold their fear at bay while evacuating terrified children from schools mere blocks from the World Trade Center; the generals at the Pentagon who break down and weep when they are barred from rushing into the burning building to try to rescue their colleagues; and the students of all ages who struggle to process the morning's events, from those who grimace through school picture day to those who are following the news on college campuses far from home. At once a powerful tribute to the courage of everyday Americans and an essential addition to the literature of 9/11, The Only Plane in the Sky weaves together the unforgettable personal experiences of the men and women who found them-selves caught at the center of an unprecedented human drama. The result is a unique, profound, and searing exploration of humanity on

Understanding and putting Relational-Cultural theory into practice
In the last decade, modern neuroscience has validated almost all of the early tenets of Relational-Cultural theory (RCT): relational development through the life span, the neuroscience of connection, and social justice. The American Psychological Association invited RCT into its "Psychotherapy monographs series", noting it was one of the ten most important psychological theories in North America.
This book addresses many of RCT's newest applications. It is a compilation of writings by people who presented at and attended the conference Transforming Community: The Radical Reality of Relationships co-sponsored by The College of St. Scholastica (CSS), the Wellesley Centers for Women, and the Jean Baker Miller Training Institute at Wellesley College held from June 9-12, 2016 in Duluth, Minnesota on the campus of CSS.
The four main sections of the book - Neuroscience and Health Care, Education, Environment, and Social Justice are reflective of the discussion groups convened at the conference. Heart-felt dialogue addressed how RCT can be applied to education, race, white privilege, the neurobiology of connection, resistance to marginalization, LBGTQI issues, mentorship, girl-centered practice, intellectual mattering, disruptive empathy, the radical reality of relationships, integrating critical race and relational cultural theories, our intrinsic relationship with the environment, and relational advocacy.
The authors and editors hope you will find RCT useful in working with clients, communities, and institutions. It is hoped more than anything that this book inspires you to keep on the path of developing the practice and the understanding of the power of connection and the possibility of building a more empathic community, both in your practices and in your personal lives.
What is Relational-Cultural Theory?
Relational-Cultural theory (RCT) places relationships at the center of human growth. People grow through and toward relationship throughout the lifespan. While the culture calls for independence, autonomy, a "stand on your own two feet," mentality, RCT points out our ongoing need to be connected with others. When we are excluded or isolated the resultant social pain travels the same pathways to the same place in the brain as the pain of physical injury or experiencing an intense need for food or water. RCT suggests we need to participate in mutually empathic relationships in order to survive and grow strong. This theory has been applied to psychotherapy, education, social work curricula, graduate psychology programs, social policy, and has been viewed as a revolutionary new model of human nature and social construction. RCT provides a positive and hopeful picture of human development, a model that celebrates bridges not walls.
