Common Ground - Eileen Flanagan
As heat waves, wildfires, storms, and floods become ever more deadly, it has become apparent that we have a shared stake in protecting the air, water, and climate - for ourselves and for future generations. There is a groundswell of action as citizens of all ages struggle to address the problem - some commit civil disobedience or move money out of fossil fuels. In Common Ground, veteran Quaker activist, facilitator, and teacher Eileen Flanagan takes us on a personal journey through her environmental direct-action experiences as well as her relationships with community elders to understand how we can form coalitions to actually make a difference. Flanagan shows that ''the illusion of separation'' is at the root of interlocking environmental crises and that it''s often politicians and corporations who benefit by keeping the rest of us divided across lines of race, class, religion, and generation. But we are at a new moment in human history. Amid the chaos and conflict of our times, people are stretching their hands across old divides and are ready to take action. In Common Ground, Flanagan argues that more than technology or even elections, acting in solidarity with all life is humanity''s best hope for survival. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

As the seasons change and the birth of his child draws closer, his transformative journey into the blurry space where human and nature meet becomes increasingly profound.

Common Ground - Florencia G. Henshaw, Maris D. Hawkins
“Common Ground is accessible to teachers at all levels yet firmly rooted in current questions of second language acquisition (SLA). One of its primary strengths is the authors themselves, both of whom are accomplished language teachers who understand the challenges and opportunities in communication-focused language teaching. Their experience, expertise, insight, and enthusiasm for language teaching translate into a book that is refreshingly practical for teachers, especially teachers who are striving to break from traditional drills commonly presented in textbooks. I hope this book finds its way into the hands of every language teacher who is looking for concrete examples of how SLA principles meet the realities of the classroom."—Stacey Margarita Johnson, Vanderbilt University

Love in the Blitz - Eileen Alexander
‘Her voice is absolutely, beguilingly conversational … Intelligent, allusive, iconoclastic, captivatingly intense … This is the news from the domestic frontline: personal, unique, unexpurgated, without propaganda, as it unfolded and was experienced … Splendid’William Boyd, GuardianWith the intimacy and wit of a Second World War Bridget Jones, Eileen Alexander offers a portal into life during the Blitz.Eileen Alexander fell in love amidst the falling of bombs, finding a quotation from poetry at every turn. Graduating from Cambridge in 1939, she had just been injured in a car crash (the man she had a soft spot for was driving) and had firm ambitions of studying further, making herself useful and absolutely not getting married.Her letters offer a love story and a unique snapshot of the home front, as well as resurrecting the voice of a profoundly funny writer.‘I wonder what anyone would think if they suddenly came across my letters to you & started reading them in chronological order?’ Eileen wrote in 1941. ‘I think they’d say “This girl never lived till she loved†– and it would be true, darling.’

The Lamplighters of the Phoenix Park - Donal Fallon, James Flanagan, Frank Flanagan
The Phoenix Park in Dublin holds a special place in the collective memory of Irish people. From the assassinations of 1882 and the destruction of several imperial monuments, to the arrival of Douglas Hyde as Ireland''s first president and Pope John Paul''s 1979 visit, it has been at the centre of Irish society for centuries.But the park is also part and parcel of daily life for many Dubliners - none more so than the Flanagan family, who have been lighting the gas lamps within its walls since 1890.Here, historian Donal Fallon speaks to brothers Frank and James Flanagan, lamplighters of the park, to give us a snapshot of a fading tradition, and a unique history of one of Ireland''s most beloved places.With stunning photographs, historical events and personal stories, The Lamplighters of the Phoenix Park shines a light on the park at the centre of our national identity, through the prism of this singular family, whose histories have been intertwined for more than 150 years.

Learning to Love - Eileen Caddy, David Earl Platts
An insightful guide for consciously bringing compassion and love into your life Every person is born with the capacity to love. Over time, however, many of us have built barriers within ourselves as a reaction to painful experiences, and following these, we often develop fears, beliefs, and behaviors that keep these barriers firmly in place. The primary lesson in life is to learn to love, and this starts right on our doorstep. Often it is self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness that hold us back from experiencing all the love around us. Only when we start to love and accept ourselves with all that we are can we love others freely and fully. Learning to love requires an intention to change and a willingness to take action. Once we understand how to work with our doubts and fears and learn how to change our beliefs and behavior, our barriers will melt away and we spontaneously open up to connect deeply and harmoniously with the full flow of the river of life.

Burnout to Breakthrough - Eileen McDargh
"Eileen delivers a new perspective on the burnout crisis with humor, good sense, and unique ideas on how to manage our brains. I owe my daily well-being to her. Keep this book at your side to help you glide through your workday." --Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, author of The Discomfort ZoneIt''s official. For the first time, the World Health Organization has classified burnout as a health problem. Renowned motivational speaker Eileen McDargh proposes that to tackle it, we must learn to break out of energy-draining thoughts and behaviors.Resilience, she argues, is strictly a matter of energy management--by better managing your energy, you can both build resiliency and overcome burnout.

She provides an in-depth energy analysis and gives you the keys to master the four dimensions that can give you a resilience breakthrough: head, heart, hands, and humor.

These new poems upend genre in a vernacular that enacts, like nothing else, the way we speak (inside and out today). From walking around Marfa and New York City with an orange pit bull to Eileen''s transcendent acceptance speech as President, Evolution lifts a can of Diet Coke as an End-of-the-World toast to embodiment, irreverence and risk.

Dobře známé zlo - Gwen Adshead, Eileen Horne
Co člověka vede k tomu, aby spáchal strašný násilný čin? Doktorka Gwen Adshead nabízí neotřelý a překvapivý vhled do problematiky násilí a lidské mysli, přičemž vychází z třiceti let vlastních zkušeností na pozici terapeutky pro pachatele závažných trestných činů. Kariéra Gwen Adshead na stránkách knihy ožívá v podobě řady nekompromisních obrazů i díky spoluautorce Eileen Horne.Po boku lékařky a jejích pacientů zjistíme, jaký význam má lidská krutost pro pachatele, ať už jsou to sérioví vrazi, stalkeři, žháři, či sexuální násilníci. Z první ruky uvidíme, jak se mysl může změnit, když lidé, které by někdo mohl označit za „zlé“, přijmou zodpovědnost za své činy a pochopí své uvažování.Výsledky jsou různé a sahají od naděje k zoufalství, od popírání k vyléčení. Dotyční muži a ženy jsou v těchto příbězích vykresleni v celé své složitosti a lidskosti. Kniha nabízí přesvědčivé argumenty pro soucit namísto odsuzování, což je o to podstatnější, protože nyní žijeme v době přeplněných věznic, velkých škrtů v oblasti péče o duševní zdraví a obrovských sociálních problémů.

Chelsea Girls - Mx Eileen Myles
In this breathtakingly inventive autobiographical novel, Eileen Myles transforms their life into a work of art. Suffused with alcohol, drugs, and sex; evocative in its depictions of the hardscrabble realities of a young queer artist's life; with raw, flickering stories of awkward love, laughter, and discovery, Chelsea Girls is a funny, cool, and intimate account of how one young writer managed to shrug off the imposition of a rigid cultural identity. Told in Myles's audacious and singular voice made vivid and immediate by their lyrical language, Chelsea Girls weaves together memories of Myles's 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, their volatile adolescence, their unabashed "lesbianity," and their riotous pursuit of survival as a poet in 1970s and 80s New York.

a "Working Life" - Eileen Myles
''Ruthlessly unguarded, surgically self-parodic and infinitely funny ... An indispensable book about friendship and intimacy; I alternately laughed and shivered as I turned the pages'' GuardianFrom the prolific poet, activist and writer Eileen Myles, a "Working Life" unerringly captures the measure of life. Exploring permanence and mortality, danger and safety, fear and wonder, these poems arise in the close quarters of air travel, the flashing of a landscape through a train window, in a truck tooling around town, or on foot with a dog during the pandemic lockdowns.Their lines unabashedly sing the happy contradictions of love and sex, spill over with warnings about the not-so-future world threatened by climate change and capitalism, and find transcendent wonder in the landscapes and animals around us, and in the solitary and collective act of caring for one another and our world.With intelligence, heart and singular vision, a "Working Life" shows Myles working at a thrilling new pitch of their poetic and philosophical powers.
