Hello Stranger: Musings on Modern Intimacies
by Manuel BetancourtWitty and winkingly playful, Manuel Betancourt&’s Hello Stranger explores modern queer romance and the expansive possibilities of ephemeral intimacies&“Hello stranger.&” As an opening line, you really can&’t ask for better.Hello Stranger is a book about chance encounters—at a bar, through social media, in a bathhouse—and what a stranger can reveal about who we are and who we could still yet be. A stranger, after all, is a site of endless possibilities.As Manuel Betancourt looks back on his past relationships, he turns to characters and narratives that helped him question notions of what monogamy and coupledom (and relationships and marriage) can and should look like. From films like Before Sunrise and Cruising to the poetry of Frank O'Hara and the musicals of Stephen Sondheim, Betancourt uses pop culture to make sense of the alluring prospect of forging intimacies with strangers—even, or especially, the strangers within ourselves.At once a personal excavation and a broad cultural critique, Betancourt grapples with everything from online sexting and real-life cruising to divorces and throuples. Hello Stranger examines the intimacies we crave, value, and oftentimes destroy with rote familiarity.
Reconnected Parenting: Healing the Whole Family Nervous System Through Regulation, Breathwork, and Play Therapy
by Emma Johnston Eleanor MannThis book takes parents from feeling disconnected to reconnecting with their true, authentic center, so they can be free to respond the way they really want to and create a life of ease, consciousness, and enjoyment in their family life.Most of us are self-aware, know a lot about parenting, and already have a lot of tools in our toolbox. We know our triggers and when they are triggered; we know about regulation; and we even have lists of scripts and are knowledgeable about what experts think we should do and say in those moments. And yet, when it comes down to it, in the moment of stress, we can&’t seem to actually make a difference in the way we respond.Reconnected Parenting is a guide to help parents do better in the moments that count; and it shows readers how understanding the nervous system and using our breath to rewire our reactions from our body up creates deep, lasting change.You will be taken on a journey through the science behind the nervous system and how this is holistically linked to connecting to our truest and most spiritual selves.

Ultimately, these storylines crescendo and converge into a dramatic and harrowing turn of events. With heart, wit, and courage, and through pain, these characters traverse territory that both challenges and defines the bonds of family.Sweeping yet compact, I&’ll Come to You investigates themes of intimacy, memory, loss, grief, and reconciliation, and the wonder, terror, frustration, fear, and magic of brushing up against the unknowable—both around us and within us.
Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From--and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them
by Anu GuptaFor readers of Caste, Sapiens, and The Dawn of Everything, a page-turning deep-dive into how bias is learned—plus a strikingly original and highly effective set of tools to un-learn it.Imagine a world without bias. A world where all human beings can truly be just as they are and unleash their full potential.Take a moment to imagine how you feel in such a world—not what you think about it, or whether you believe it's possible, but how you feel.This is the proposition that opens Breaking Bias. It&’s your invitation to embark on a journey that will radically change your experience and show you how you, in turn, can help reshape our world.Drawing on two decades of original research and experience training thousands of students, Anu Gupta, a lawyer, scientist, and educator whose work focuses on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, has written a comprehensive and compellingly readable guide for anyone who wants to understand and unlearn conscious and unconscious biases. Whether you're a teacher or student, engineer or creative, parent or grandparent, this book will train you to become more aware of and transform bias in your daily life and within you—especially beliefs and perceptions you may hold about yourself and others.Blending ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern scientific evidence, Anu takes us on a deep-time journey to explore human identities and identity-based biases and to recognize that breaking bias is the key to unlocking multiple crises in our world—from racism, sexism, classism, and other -isms to burnout, loneliness, and climate change. Then he offers his signature PRISM toolkit—a science-backed, somatically informed set of contemplative tools—to help us dismantle learned bias within ourselves and in the world around us, moment by moment, with probing questions and writing prompts throughout the book that invite us to put these tools to use right from the start.Breaking Bias is one of the few books that go beyond examining the history of bias to offer actual training in how to reduce bias, and it&’s the only one written by an author with Anu's unique intersectional identities: a gay brown immigrant with Buddhist, Christian, and Hindu roots who is also an American lawyer and scholar of bias with lived experiences that span the globe. This is a book with the potential to transform the way we think and the way we live.

Local Resource Mobilization: A Panacea for Local Development in Bangladesh
by Salma Mobarek Md Nurul MomenBangladesh has one of the most centralized local resource management systems in Asia. It is, however, one of the lowest-performing regions in terms of local resource mobilization. The book focuses on the union council, otherwise known as a Union Parishads (UPs), which is the smallest rural local government unit in Bangladesh. The book examines the legal provisions and practices of resource mobilization at UPs to understand the effects of resource mobilization on development activities and the obstacles encountered by UPs when attempting to mobilize resources. Based on the extensive empirical research into UPs, which includes surveys, focus group discussions, interviews, as well as a review of government reports, working papers, and legal frameworks, the authors argue that current legal provisions and practices in local resource mobilization are ineffective for their intended purpose. The book also suggests remedies and policy recommendations for the effective mobilization of local resources.

Biogeochemistry and the Environment
by Michael O'Neal CampbellBiogeochemistry may be defined as the science that combines biological and chemical perspectives for the examination of the Earth’s surface, including the relations between the biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Biogeochemistry is a comparatively recently developed science, that incorporates scientific knowledge and findings, research methodologies, and models linking the biological, chemical, and earth sciences. Therefore, while it is a definitive science with a strong theoretical core, it is also dynamically and broadly interlinked with other sciences. This book examines the complex science of biogeochemistry from a novel perspective, examining its comparatively recent development, while also emphasizing its interlinked relationship with the earth sciences (including the complementary science of geochemistry), the geographical sciences (biogeography, oceanography, geomatics, earth systems science), the biological sciences (ecology, wildlife studies, biological aspects of environmental sciences) and the chemical sciences (including environmental chemistry and pollution). The book covers cutting-edge topics on the science of biogeochemistry, examining its development, structure, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary relations, and the future of the current complex knowledge systems, especially in the context of technological, developments, and the computer and data fields.
