An engrossing and revealing study of why we deem certain animals “pests” and others not—from cats to rats, elephants to pigeons—and what this tells us about our own perceptions, beliefs, and actions, as well as our place in the natural worldA squirrel in the garden. A rat in the wall. A pigeon on the street. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places. When animals pop up where we donÂ’t expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance. ItÂ’s no longer an animal. ItÂ’s a pest.At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem. ItÂ’s not a natural history of the animals we hate. Instead, this book is about us. ItÂ’s about what calling an animal a pest says about people, how we live, and what we want. ItÂ’s a story about human nature, and how we categorize the animals in our midst, including bears and coyotes, sparrows and snakes. Pet or pest? In many cases, itÂ’s entirely a question of perspective.Bethany BrookshireÂ’s deeply researched and entirely entertaining book will show readers what there is to venerate in vermin, and help them appreciate how these animals have clawed their way to success as we did everything we could to ensure their failure. In the process, we will learn how the pests that annoy us tell us far more about humanity than they do about the animals themselves.Â

Mateřské zranění, ať už se projevuje na osobní, kulturní, duchovní či jiné rovině, je soubor zvnitřněných omezujících domněnek a vzorců, jenž nám v dospělosti na mnoha frontách způsobuje komplikace, má vliv na náš sebeobraz i na způsob, jak vnímáme druhé a svůj potenciál. Dcery ovládá neodbytný pocit, že je s nimi něco v nepořádku. Ze strachu z odmítnutí se nevěnují vlastnímu rozvoji, mají slabé hranice a nejasné ponětí o tom, kým jsou. Toto zranění se projevuje ve všech oblastech našich dospělých životů, od manželství přes rodičovství a kariéru až po vztah k tělu. Teprve ustavičná těžko snesitelná bolest, již způsobuje, v nás dokáže vyburcovat potřebnou motivaci a energii, abychom se konečně odhodlaly ke změně a navázaly kontakt se svým vnitřním dítětem a skrze něj s vnitřní matkou. Kniha známé americké terapeutky a spisovatelky Bethany Webster do hloubky rozebírá fenomén mateřského zranění a nabízí účinné a podrobné postupy, jak se z této nezdravé dynamiky trvale vymanit a zlepšit svůj život.

What went wrong with American business at the end of the 20th century?Until the spring of 2001, Enron epitomized the triumph of the New Economy. Feared by rivals, worshipped by investors, Enron seemingly could do no wrong. Its profits rose every year; its stock price surged ever upward; its leaders were hailed as visionaries. Then a young Fortune writer, Bethany McLean, wrote an article posing a simple question - how, exactly, does Enron make its money?Within a year Enron was facing humiliation and bankruptcy, the largest in US history, which caused Americans to lose faith in a system that rewarded top insiders with millions of dollars, while small investors lost everything. It was revealed that Enron was a company whose business was an illusion, an illusion that Wall Street was willing to accept even though they knew what the real truth was. This book - fully updated for the paperback - tells the extraordinary story of Enron''s fall.

Sure to become a classic on female empowerment, a groundbreaking exploration of the personal, cultural, and global implications of intergenerational trauma created by patriarchy, how it is passed down from mothers to daughters, and how we can break this destructive cycle.Why do women keep themselves small and quiet? Why do they hold back professionally and personally? What fuels the uncertainty and lack of confidence so many women often feel? In this paradigm-shifting book, leading feminist thinker Bethany Webster identifies the source of women’s trauma. She calls it the Mother Wound—the systemic disenfranchisement of women by the patriarchy—and reveals how this cycle is perpetuated by wounded mothers who unconsciously pass on damaging beliefs and behaviors to their daughters.In her workshops, online courses, and talks, Webster has helped countless women re-examine their lives and their relationships with their mothers, giving them the vocabulary to voice their pain, and encouraging them to share their experiences. In this manifesto and self-help guide, she offers practical tools for identifying the manifestations of the Mother Wound in our daily life and strategies we can use to heal ourselves and prevent our daughters from enduring the same pain. In addition, she offers step-by-step advice on how to reconnect with our inner child, grieve the mother we didn’t have, stop people-pleasing, and, ultimately, transform our heartache and anger into healing and self-love.Revealing how women are affected by the Mother Wound, even if they don’t personally identify as survivors, Discovering the Inner Mother revolutionizes how we view mother-daughter relationships and gives us the inspiration and guidance we need to improve our lives and ultimately create a more equitable society for all.
