Start in Your Own Backyard - Steve Nygren

If it’s not working change it . . . one backyard at a time. Visionary placemaker Steve Nygren chronicles the rise of Serenbe, a pioneering model in biophilic living outside Atlanta, and charts a path for others wishing to challenge the status quo, embrace optimism, and reinvent their communities—and themselves.For many Americans, life is no longer working. We are increasingly sick, stressed, anxious, and unhappy. Many feel left behind by the economy, disillusioned by once-respected institutions, and helpless in the face of environmental decline. Steve Nygren argues that much of this can be traced to where—and how—we live. By rethinking and reinvesting in our own communities, we can rediscover the joy of connected, meaningful lives for ourselves and future generations. Start in Your Own Backyard provides a blueprint for developing sustainable communities where citizens of all generations can thrive, and awe is found in everyday moments, which requires understanding: The unintended consequences of sprawl, and why clustered development supports more green space, more housing, and lower costs Why being disconnected from nature and each other is at the root of many environmental, societal, and health-related woes Tactics to encourage a local food-based economy (and why that matters) How small yards, ...

He had been in prison for nearly half his adult life. He was funny and frightening, loathed, loved and feared. Boudreau seemed invincible, a miscreant who would plague the village forever. As many people said, if those fellows hadn''t killed him, someone else would have.Blood in the Water is a gripping story in a brilliantly drawn setting, about power and law, security and self-respect, and the nature of community.

Exercise in Uncertainty, An - Jonathan Gluck

In this thought-provoking memoir, an award-winning journalist explores the chaos, doubt, and search for meaning that come with staying one step ahead of cancer for decades.At age thirty-eight, Jonathan Gluck, a new father with a promising journalism career, was shocked to learn he had multiple myeloma, a rare, incurable blood cancer. He was told he had eighteen months to live.That was more than twenty years ago.Gluck isn’t just something of a medical miracle. He’s also part of a growing population. Thanks to revolutionary medical advances, many cancers and other serious illnesses are no longer death sentences but chronic diseases people can often live with for years. While doctors continue to look for “magic bullet” cures, they can now extend patients’ lives by slowing the progression of their diseases one treatment at a time. The result is a strange, new no-man’s-land between being sick and being well where Gluck and millions of others reside.In An Exercise in Uncertainty, Gluck maps this previously uncharted territory. Among the many vexing side effects of chronic illness he explores is uncertainty—never knowing from one day to the next how one’s illness might change them physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Identity-Conscious Practice in Action - Liza Talusan

When teachers and leaders implement an identity-conscious practice, they can provide a more responsive and responsible learning environment. Unfortunately, avoiding the impact of identity can create problematic and oppressive conditions in schools. So how do we lead with an identity-conscious lens? Award-winning author Liza Talusan provides real-world scenarios that educators can work through to apply an identity-conscious practice. Talusan helps educators grapple with three key questions: 1) How do I build knowledge about scenarios that involve identity? 2) How do my own thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs contribute to inequitable conditions? 3) What actions can I implement in my classroom/meeting spaces to align with principles of equity and justice? Readers explore these questions through case studies on race, class/socioeconomic status, religion/faith, disability, sexual orientation, gender, language, and age. With the book''s numerous real-world examples, Talusan makes the concept of an identity-conscious practice more tangible, so you feel ready and empowered to implement it day-to-day in your own practice.
