Описание: "My education was less important to my parents than my little pay. They wanted me to work and turn my wages over to them."We Were Not Spoiled chronicles the early life of a Franco-Mainer born in 1921 in Lewiston and raised there. Lucille Verreault Ledoux's life is typical of many Franco-Americans of her generation, children of immigrants, and, as such, is an important addition to our understanding of Maine's ethnically diverse communities in the last century. YOU WILL FIND OVERLOOKED LIVESWe Were Not Spoiled reveals an eye for often neglected details, of information thought to be marginal and so too frequently lost to students of history. A basic function of memoir is to give witness to a time and a way of life gone by and this book succeeds well at this function. In its pages, we find ourselves going with Lucille into textile mills, living religious orthodoxy, and creating an identity for herself as a woman, wife and mother.

Описание: Mariah Talbot seems to lead a charmed life. Successful and talented, she is an interior designer in Boston`s Back Bay neighborhood and, by all accounts, is fulfilling her dreams. But appearances can be deceiving. Few people know the truth about her tragic past and why she guards her heart so fiercely, or the fact she is still very much in love with a ghost. Andrew Madden is a partner in one of Boston`s elite law firms. Bracing himself for a confrontation on his commute to work one morning, the last thing he expects is to be captivated by the woman who emerges from her car. Mariah is unlike any woman he has ever met, and their attraction is instant. But as he soon discovers, there is much more to her than meets the eye. He clings to the hope that with time, she will come to trust him completely. But time is precious and fleeting. Neither of them could have predicted the bizarre twist of fate that alters the course of their lives forever. Only when Andrew embarks on his own journey, unraveling the haunting secrets of Mariah`s past, does he finally come to understand that love never dies...and neither does the soul.

Описание: It is 1882 in a French-Canadian village south of Winnipeg, and Justine B langer has had her first taste of love at sixteen. After a stolen kiss in the churchyard with her handsome older cousin, Adrien Larence, she dreams of a future with him. But her hopes are dashed when he announces his plans to join the priesthood - one of the few ways for a French Catholic to get ahead in a largely English Protestant population.
Although Adrien's ambition and passions ultimately get him expelled from the seminary, his attempts to succeed in the English-dominated business community are blocked. That is, until he unexpectedly becomes partners with an unwed and pregnant Irish maid who starts up a business in the flourishing brothels of Winnipeg.
While Adrien follows his own course, Justine finds love and builds her own life as wife, mother, and teacher. Yet Adrien's path is destined to crisscross her own, and ultimately, her feelings for him force her to make a choice that could affect the rest of her life.
Set against the historical backdrop of Louis Riel and the Saskatchewan Rebellion and a time when French Manitobans found their language, education, and faith endangered and eroded, Spoiled Heritage - The Manitobans brings to life the details of the rich culture, close-knit family life, and day-to-day living of a courageous minority population that faced injustices and a threat to their religious and language rights....

Ronald Rump, How A Spoiled, Entitled, Blustery Little Boy Became President is a book that examines the political conditions in the United States that enabled the election of an inept, inexperienced, egomaniacal narcissist. The story is written and illustrated in the format of a children's book intended to remind readers about how we elected a person so incredibly unqualified for the office of the president.
The political context for this book highlights the strategic decision of the Republican Party to intentionally withdraw its participation from any Obama initiatives and actively obstruct his ideas for short term political gain. Additionally, the book points out the Democratic Party's inability or unwillingness to embrace, advocate, or explain Obama era policies.
Congressional approval during the Obama administration was at an all-time low. Political infighting, fiscal cliffs, and government shutdowns, amplified by a media that calculates winners and losers rather than policy and outcomes, became the new norm. Because of these forces, Trump was elected.
Further, the book reminds us of the speech and tweets of Donald Trump. His vitriol went unchecked by elected leaders and normalized a tone that undermines our values and ideals. Many of the elected leaders in Washington D.C. have put grandstanding, gridlock, and their own re-elections ahead of doing the peoples' business.

"Spoiled Right allows you to cut through the noise so you can provide kids the childhoods they deserve. Get this book!"
-Richard Freed, psychologist and author of Wired Child
"I am so glad this book exists. As a parent, educator, and screentime consultant aware of the modern challenges presented by excess screen use, I am constantly searching for research-based strategies to apply in my own home and in my work with clients. Dr. Owenz's book is not only chock full of the research we need to support child-centered developmental choices, but it also provides parents and caregivers with practical and tactical 'to-do's' to put intention into (research-backed) action. It's not about 'less screens'; it's about more of the high-quality life experiences that truly contribute to healthy development. Dr. Owenz approaches the challenge of screentime with empathy, warmth, and personal experience to show that less screentime is not only possible, it's preferable in the long run. It is easy to tell parents 'do less screentime, ' but to have a resource that actually maps out the five key ingredients (her S.P.O.I.L. method) for raising healthy and happy children is truly awesome. This book will be a go-to resource for me for a long time!"
-Emily Cherkin, MA Ed, and The Screentime Consultant
From the author of popular parenting blog, Screen-Free Parenting.
If kids are supposed to be spending less time on screens, what should they be doing instead? This book answers that question and gives parents and those who work with them, a science-backed, developmentally appropriate system for emphasizing alternative activities of childhood that can incidentally reduce screen time and minimize the negative effects. It's the much needed "what to do" answer in response to the heavy-handed "what not to do" mandates about children's screen time. Dr. Owenz suggests caregivers do not need another thing to avoid, and instead should be focusing on what children need more of, like social time, play opportunities, outdoor experiences, chores, and a strong relationship with reading.
Meghan Owenz, PhD is an author, parent, counseling psychologist, and professor at Penn State University, Berks. She is the co-founder and writer of the popular parenting website, Screen-Free Parenting. She is a regular speaker on the topic of children's screen time and uses her expertise to advocate for science-backed changes to policies and practices that affect children's well-being. She also created the board game, Starting Lines, to fight creative decline and reward children's out-of-the-box thinking. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two children who are thriving with very limited screen time.

Описание: History's Spoiled Children is the story of a small Ottoman province and its transformation into a modern European state. In some respects, the challenges to the formation of the Greek state could be likened to those encountered by the Western world in its efforts to impose its politico-cultural model on societies foreign to it. Though the Greeks of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were Christians whereas the societies subject to Western experimentation today are Muslim, the political venture known as modernization has treated both as civilizing projects and in no way as equal partners. However, there is one distinction that cannot be ignored. Western Europeans regard Greece and Greeks as foundational in their own history. With this in mind, one may better understand the West's (more or less) particular treatment of these populations, which not only rebelled against the Ottoman Empire in the name of Christianity but also invoked connections to an ancient past in which Europe sees the roots of its own identity. Kostas Kostis explores this perception and traces the formation of this favored modern nation, dubbed in nineteenth-century Europe the ''spoiled children of history'.

Описание: Spoiled Distinctions charts twentieth-century experiments in the aesthetics of the ordinary, arguing that Proust and his literary and philosophical successors (Francis Ponge, Nathalie Sarraute, Yasmina Reza, Pierre Bourdieu, and Roland Barthes, among others) multiply strategies for reading and valuing the everyday.
