In a world where basic human rights are under attack and discrimination is widespread, Advancing Equality reminds us of the critical role of constitutions in creating and protecting equal rights. Combining a comparative analysis of equal rights in the constitutions of all 193 United Nations member countries with inspiring stories of activism and powerful court cases from around the globe, the book traces the trends in constitution drafting over the past half century and examines how stronger protections against discrimination have transformed lives. Looking at equal rights across gender, race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity, disability, social class, and migration status, the authors uncover which groups are increasingly guaranteed equal rights in constitutions, whether or not these rights on paper have been translated into practice, and which nations lag behind. Serving as a comprehensive call to action for anyone who cares about their country's future, Advancing Equality challenges us to remember how far we all still must go for equal rights for all.

Описание: Most self-help or personal growth books help their readers learn to "cope" better with one specific problem that troubles them. In contrast, Fear of the Abyss offers healing for a wounded core by providing guidance to those with a certain constellation of issues, which Dr. Edwards calls the "PCS" personality. While perfectionism, control, and shame may be the issues that readers most easily relate to, they form part of a pattern that also includes such issues as rigidity, black-and-white thinking, indecisiveness, and relationship difficulties caused by a need to be needed.Dr. Edwards sees this entire constellation as rooted in a core fear that varies from person to person. It is the object of this fear that she calls the "abyss." Through a series of clinical vignettes drawn from her own experience as well as exercises accompanying most chapters, she helps the reader develop self-awareness and compassion for him- or herself, as well as a greater sense of authenticity."This book is a true gift. Aleta Edwards is ... a genius in simplifying how to get to the root of the issues that trouble us - how to embrace the shadow and transcend to love, compassion, and honor. Fear of the Abyss is a must read for every psychotherapist, not to mention anyone who suffers from shame and perfectionism - which I'd say is most if not all all of us." -Lisa Ortigara Crego, PhD, LCSW, CEDS, CAP, NBCCH, Clinical Psychotherapist, Doctor of Addictions Psychology, Nat. Bd. Cert. Hypnotherapist"In this engaging book, Dr. Aleta Edwards sheds new light on the issues of perfectionism, control, and shame. Breaking from the traditional model of diagnosis, she explains the role of trauma as a major factor in the development of the 'PCS' personality and emphasizes the adaptive nature of these issues. This book is recommended for its thoughtful text and helpful exercises, as well as the spirit of hope." -Nina Savelle-Rocklin, PsyD, Psychoanalyst, award-winning writer of the "Make Peace with Food" blog and host of the "Win the Diet War" podcast"This is a great book for individuals who struggle with shame and perfectionism. I've recommended it to several clients and they have found it very helpful. I believe this book is a good tool as an addition to therapy or by itself as a self-help book." -Ana Maria Aluisy, MA, LMFT, LMHC, CRC, relationship specialist, featured on CNN Latino, Super Q Radio and ESPN Deportes Radio
Описание: In post-Gold Rush San Francisco, Ina Coolbrith was known as the pearl of her tribe, a tribe that included Bret Harte, Mark Twain, and John Muir. Jack London and Isadora Duncan considered her their literary godmother, and John Greenleaf Whittier knew more of her poems by heart than she did his. Regardless of the acclaim from others, Coolbrith met with a series of challenges throughout her life that tested her devotion to her art. In the end, she put her full faith in poetry and her story reveals the saving grace of creativity in a woman's life. Ina Coolbrith: The Bittersweet Song of California's First Poet Laureate is a new biography about a pioneer poet, Oakland's first public librarian, and the most popular literary ambassador in the early American West. George's deftly told and deeply researched book follows the struggles and triumphs of Coolbrith from her birth in 1841 as a niece of Mormon founder Joseph Smith to her death in 1928 as California's most beloved poet. California crowned Ina Coolbrith its first poet laureate in 1915 during San Francisco's Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and 2015 marks the centennial of her being named California's beloved first lady of letters. Aleta George writes about nature and culture in California. Her work has been featured in Smithsonian.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Los Angeles Times. This is her first book. "Telling Coolbrith's story, author Aleta George offers an intriguing glimpse of fin de si cle California and the rousing, sometimes rowdy adolescence of our nation." -Gerald Haslam, award-winning author and professor emeritus, Sonoma State University "In a book marked by literary grace and conviction, Aleta George presents a nuanced yet compelling portrait of a major California figure." -Malcolm Margolin, Heyday Books "Coolbrith's life is so captivating that it has been waiting not just for another biographer, but for a first-rate storyteller." - David Alpaugh, Ina Coolbrith Circle
