Winner of the Lambda Literary Jeanne Cordova Prize for Lesbian/Queer NonfictionFinalist, Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Memoir/BiographyFinalist, Publishing Triangle's Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian NonfictionAn Indie Next Pick For readers of Maggie Nelson and Leslie Jamison, a fierce and dazzling personal narrative that explores the many ways identity and art are shaped by love and loss. In her critically acclaimed memoir, Whip Smart, Melissa Febos laid bare the intimate world of the professional dominatrix, turning an honest examination of her life into a lyrical study of power, desire, and fulfillment. In her dazzling Abandon Me, Febos captures the intense bonds of love and the need for connection -- with family, lovers, and oneself. First, her birth father, who left her with only an inheritance of addiction and Native American blood, its meaning a mystery. As Febos tentatively reconnects, she sees how both these lineages manifest in her own life, marked by compulsion and an instinct for self-erasure. Meanwhile, she remains closely tied to the sea captain who raised her, his parenting ardent but intermittent as his work took him away for months at a time. Woven throughout is the hypnotic story of an all-consuming, long-distance love affair with a woman, marked equally by worship and withdrawal. In visceral, erotic prose, Febos captures their mutual abandonment to passion and obsession -- and the terror and exhilaration of losing herself in another. At once a fearlessly vulnerable memoir and an incisive investigation of art, love, and identity, Abandon Me draws on childhood stories, religion, psychology, mythology, popu

Evangelista risked her life to tell this story."--Tara Westover, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Educated "A journalistic masterpiece"--David Remnick, The New Yorker For six years, journalist Patricia Evangelista documented killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of then president Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs--a crusade that led to the slaughter of thousands--immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of terror created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others. The book takes its title from the words of a vigilante, which demonstrated the psychological accommodation many across the country had made: "I'm really not a bad guy," he said. "I'm not all bad. Some people need killing." A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an investigation into the human impulses to dominate and resist.

Through candid, intimate correspondence with friends, lovers, and family, Emezi traces the unfolding of a self and the unforgettable journey of a creative spirit stepping into power in the human world. Their story weaves through transformative decisions about their gender and body, their precipitous path to success as a writer, and the turmoil of relationships on an emotional, romantic, and spiritual plane, culminating in a book that is as tender as it is brutal. Electrifying and inspiring, animated by the same voracious intelligence that distinguishes Emezi's fiction, Dear Senthuran is a revelatory account of storytelling, self, and survival.

タイトル: Water on Fire: A Memoir of War著者: Tarek El-Ariss出版社: Other Press出版日: 2024年04月23日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。In this evocative, insightful memoir, a leading voice in Middle Eastern Studies revisits his childhood in war-torn Lebanon and his family's fascinating history, coming to terms with trauma and desire. Water on Fire tells a story of immigration that starts in a Beirut devastated by the Lebanese Civil War (1975-90), continues with experiences of displacement in Europe and Africa, moves to northeastern American towns battered by lake-effect snow and economic woes, and ends in New York City on 9/11. A story of loss, but also of evolution, it models a kind of resilience inflected with humor, daring, and irreverence. Alternating between his perspective as a child and as an adult, Tarek El-Ariss explores how we live with trauma, poignantly illustrating the profound impact of war on our perception of the world, our fears and longings. His memoir is at once historical and universal, intellectual and introspective, the outcome of a long and painful process of excavation that reveals internal turmoil and the predicament of conflict and separation. A contemporary "interpretation of dreams" dealing with monsters, invisible creatures, skin outbreaks, and the sea, it is a book about objects and elements, like water and fire, and about how encountering these elements triggers associations, connecting present and past, time and space.

タイトル: Memoirs from Beyond the Grave: 1815 -1830著者: Alex Chateaubriand, François-Réne; Andriesse出版社: NYRB Classics出版日: 2025年12月02日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。The third part of the epic autobiography of Chateaubriand, the aristocratic Frenchman who lived through the beginning of the French Revolution and who would become the founder of the Romantic movement in Europe, now in a new, unabridged English translation--the first in a century. In 1815--with the Napoleonic era at an end and royalty restored--François-René de Chateaubriand seemed poised, along with the Bourbon family he'd long supported, to wield unprecedented power. Already one of France's most celebrated writers, he now became an ambassador and statesman of the French kingdom. Yet as passionate about royalty as Chateaubriand was in principle, in reality he was a recalcitrant subject. A defender of the constitution and of freedom of the press, he quarreled constantly with Louis XVIII and Charles X and eventually tendered his resignation--just in time for the July Revolution, which put an end to Bourbon rule and allowed Chateaubriand to go back to praising the family, now safely exiled to the realm of the ideal. In the third volume of Alex Andriesse's new translation of Memoirs from Beyond the Grave, Chateaubriand writes about international politics, a papal conclave, and the revolutionary strife of 1830 with undiminished flair. And he remains one of the great masters--perhaps unequaled in this--of literary digression. Readers will gladly accompany him on walks around Paris and Rome, as he reflects on storms and ruins, moonlight and mortality.

タイトル: Memoirs from Beyond the Grave: 1800-1815著者: François-Réne Chateaubriand出版社: NYRB Classics出版日: 2022年09月27日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。The second part of an infamous memoir about life in the time of Napoleon by a rebellious literary celebrity. In 1800, François-René de Chateaubriand sailed from the cliffs of Dover to the headlands of Calais. He was thirty-one and had been living as a political refugee in England for most of a decade, at times in such extreme poverty that he subsisted on nothing but hot water and two-penny rolls. Over the next fifteen years, his life was utterly changed. He published Atala, René, and The Genius of Christianity to acclaim and epoch-making scandal. He strolled the streets of Jerusalem and mapped the ruins of Carthage. He served Napoleon in Rome, then resigned in protest after the Duc d'Enghien's execution, putting his own life at tremendous risk. Memoirs from Beyond the Grave: 1800-1815--the second volume in Alex Andriesse's new and complete translation of this epic French classic--is a chronicle of triumphs and sorrows, narrating not only the author's life during a tumultuous period in European history but the "parallel life" of Napoleon. In these pages, Chateaubriand continues to paint his distinctive self-portrait, in which the whole history of France swirls around the sitter like a mist of dreams.

タイトル: Memoirs from Beyond the Grave: 1768-1800著者: François-René de Chateaubriand出版社: NYRB Classics出版日: 2018年02月20日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Written over the course of four decades, François-René de Chateaubriand's epic autobiography has drawn the admiration of Baudelaire, Flaubert, Proust, Barthes, and Sebald. Here, in the first books of his massive Memoirs, spanning the years 1768 to 1800, Chateaubriand looks back on the already bygone world of his youth. He recounts the history of his aristocratic family and the first rumblings of the French Revolution. He recalls playing games on the beaches of Saint-Malo, wandering in the woods near his father's castle in Combourg, hunting with King Louis XVI at Versailles, witnessing the first heads carried on pikes through the streets of Paris, meeting with George Washington in Philadelphia, and falling hopelessly in love with a young woman named Charlotte in the small Suffolk town of Bungay. The volume ends with Chateaubriand's return to France after seven years of exile in England. In this new edition (the first unabridged English translation of any portion of the Memoirs to be published in more than a century), Chateaubriand emerges as a writer of great wit and clarity, a self deprecating egotist whose meditations on the meaning of history, memory, and morality are leavened with a mixture of high whimsy and memorable gloom.

This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn't always see me.As I wrote Finding Me, my eyes were open to the truth of how our stories are often not given close examination. We are forced to reinvent them to fit into a crazy, competitive, judgmental world. So I wrote this for anyone running through life untethered, desperate and clawing their way through murky memories, trying to get to some form of self-love. For anyone who needs reminding that a life worth living can only be born from radical honesty and the courage to shed facades and be . . . you.Finding Me is a deep reflection, a promise, and a love letter of sorts to self. My hope is that my story will inspire you to light up your own life with creative expression and rediscover who you were before the world put a label on you.

タイトル: Half a Life: Half a Life: A Memoir著者: Jill Ciment出版社: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group出版日: 1997年08月18日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Unflinchingly honest, moving, and funny, "Half a Life" shows how a girl without means or promise and with only a loving mother, chutzpah, a bit of fraud, and a lot of luck turned into somebody. In 1964 the Ciment family left middle-class Montreal for the fringe desert communities of Los Angeles, where their always unstable father lost the last vestiges of his sanity. Terrified and broke, in a world he could neither understand nor control, he came apart. When the family finally threw him out, he lived for weeks in his car at the foot of their driveway.Ciment turned herself into a girl for whom a father is unnecessary-a tough girl who survived any way she could. She and her brother Jack helped support the family by working for a shady market researcher, quickly learning to supply their own answers to burning questions like, "Did we like Swanson TV dinners? If so, why? On a scale of one to ten, how would we rate the new Talking Barbie? Arrow wax? Dr. Ross's dog food?" She became a gang girl, a professional forger, and a Times Square porn model. Using a friend's SAT score she cheated her way into art school, and seduced and eventually married her art teacher, a married man thirty years her senior. By turns comic, tragic, and heartrending, "Half a Life" is a bold, unsentimental portrait of the artist as a girl from nowhere, making herself up from scratch, acting up, and finally overcoming the consequences of being the child of a father incapable of love and responsibility.

[and] a potent personal history" (Shelf Awareness).Grace M. Cho grew up as the daughter of a white American merchant marine and the Korean bar hostess he met abroad. They were one of few immigrants in a xenophobic small town during the Cold War, where identity was politicized by everyday details--language, cultural references, memories, and food. When Grace was fifteen, her dynamic mother experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a condition that would continue and evolve for the rest of her life.Part food memoir, part sociological investigation, Tastes Like War is a hybrid text about a daughter's search through intimate and global history for the roots of her mother's schizophrenia. In her mother's final years, Grace learned to cook dishes from her parent's childhood in order to invite the past into the present, and to hold space for her mother's multiple voices at the table. And through careful listening over these shared meals, Grace discovered not only the things that broke the brilliant, complicated woman who raised her--but also the things that kept her alive."An exquisite commemoration and a potent reclamation." --Booklist (starred review)"A wrenching, powerful account of the long-term effects of the immigrant experience." --Kirkus Reviews

タイトル: Lucky Ones: A Memoir著者: Zara Chowdhary出版社: Crown出版日: 2024年07月16日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。A moving memoir by a survivor of anti-Muslim violence in contemporary India that delicately weaves political and family histories in a tribute to her country's unique Islamic heritage "A warning, thrown to the world, and a stunning debut--Chowdhary is a much-needed new voice."--Alexander Chee In 2002, Zara Chowdhary is sixteen years old and living with her family in Ahmedabad, one of India's fastest-growing cities, when a gruesome train fire claims the lives of sixty Hindu right-wing volunteers and upends the life of five million Muslims. Instead of taking her school exams that week, Zara is put under a three-month siege, with her family and thousands of others fearing for their lives as Hindu neighbors, friends, and members of civil society transform overnight into bloodthirsty mobs, hunting and massacring their fellow citizens. The chief minister of the state at the time, Narendra Modi, will later be accused of fomenting the massacre, and yet a decade later, will rise to become India's prime minister, sending the "world's largest democracy" hurtling toward cacophonous Hindu nationalism. The Lucky Ones traces the past of a multigenerational Muslim family to India's brave but bloody origins, a segregated city's ancient past, and the lingering hurt causing bloodshed on the streets. Symphonic interludes offer glimpses into the precious, ordinary lives of Muslims, all locked together in a crumbling apartment building in the city's old quarters, with their ability to forgive and find laughter, to offer grace even as the world outside, and their place in it, falls apart. The Lucky Ones entwines lost histories across a subcontinent, examines forgotten myths, prods a family's secrets, and gazes unflinchingly back at a country rushing to move past the biggest pogrom in its modern history. It is a warning thrown to the world by a young survivor, to democracies that fail to protect their vulnerable, and to homes that won't listen to their daughters. It is an ode to the rebellion of a young woman who insists she will belong to her land, family, and faith on her own terms.

Brian's recounting of his experiences--in all their cringe-worthy, hilarious, and heartbreaking glory--reveal a perpetual outsider awkwardly squirming to find his way in. Indiscriminate sex and escalating drug use help to soothe his hurt, young psyche, usually to uproarious and devastating effect. A no-nonsense mother and broken father play crucial roles in our misfit's origin story. But it is Brian's voice in the retelling that shows the true depth of vulnerability for young Black boys that is often quietly near to bursting at the seams.Cleverly framed around Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "We Real Cool," the iconic and loving ode to Black boyhood, Punch Me Up to the Gods is at once playful, poignant, and wholly original. Broome's writing brims with swagger and sensitivity, bringing an exquisite and fresh voice to ongoing cultural conversations about Blackness in America.

タイトル: Memorial Days著者: Geraldine Brooks出版社: Viking出版日: 2025年02月04日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。A New York Times Bestseller "Brooks tracks the geography of grief with patience and grace as she comes to terms with the ongoing nature of outliving the ones you love most. ... Her memoir is certainly a testament to her own unique loss, but it's moreover a lifeline to others who will find themselves in this familiar, shattered landscape of grief." --Los Angeles Times "A rich account of marriage and mourning." --Washington Post A heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey towards peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Horse Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz - just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy - collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk. After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha's Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at the beach. But all of this ended abruptly when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf. Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the various ways in which cultures grieve and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony's death. A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.

タイトル: One Way Back: A Memoir著者: Christine Blasey Ford出版社: St. Martin's Griffin出版日: 2025年03月18日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Now a New York Times bestseller "A blisteringly personal memoir...a thoughtful exploration of what it feels like to become a main character in a major American reckoning." --The Washington Post"An insightful tour de force." --People On September 27, 2018, Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee which was considering the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. She described an alleged sexual assault by the Supreme Court nominee that took place at a high school party in the 1980s. Her words and courage on that day provided some of the most credible and unforgettable testimony our country has ever witnessed. In One Way Back, Ford recounts the months she spent trying to get information into the right hands without exposing herself and her family to dangerous backlash. Drawing parallels to her life as a surfer, she explains the process of paddling out into unknown waters despite the risks and fears, knowing there is only one way back to shore. The book reveals riveting new details about the leadup to her testimony and its overwhelming aftermath and describes how she continues to navigate her way out of the storm. This is the real story behind the headlines and the soundbites, a complex, page-turning memoir of a scientist, a surfer, a mother, a patriot and an unlikely whistleblower. Ford's experience shows that when one person steps forward to speak truth to power, she adds to a collective whole, causing "a ripple that might one day become a wave."

タイトル: Fifty Sounds: A Memoir of Language, Learning, and Longing著者: Polly Barton出版社: Liveright出版日: 2022年03月15日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。"The language learning I want to talk about is sensory bombardment. It is a possession, a bedevilment, a physical takeover," writes Polly Barton in her eloquent treatise on this profoundly humbling and gratifying act. Shortly before graduating with a degree in philosophy from the University of Cambridge, Barton on a whim accepted an English-teaching position in Japan. With the characteristic ambivalence of a twenty-one-year-old whose summer--and life--stretched out almost infinitely before her, she moved to a remote island in the Sea of Japan, unaware that this journey would come to define not only her career but her very understanding of her own identity.Divided into fifty onomatopoeic Japanese phrases, Fifty Sounds recounts Barton's path to becoming a literary translator fluent in an incredibly difficult vernacular. From "min-min," the sound of air screaming, to "jin-jin," the sound of being touched for the first time, Barton analyzes these and countless other foreign sounds and phrases as a means of reflecting on various cultural attitudes, including the nuances of conformity and the challenges of being an outsider in what many consider a hermetically sealed society.In a tour-de-force of lyrical, playful prose, Barton recalls the stifling humidity that first greeted her on the island along with the incessant hum of peculiar new noises. As Barton taught English to inquisitive middle school children, she studied the basics of Japanese in an inverse way, beginning with simple nouns and phrases, such as "cat," "dog," and "Hello, my name is." But when it came to surrounding herself in the culture, simply mastering the basics wasn't enough.Japanese, Barton learned, has three scripts: the phonetic katakana and hiragana (collectively known as kana) and kanji (characters of Chinese origin). Despite her months-long immersion in the language, a word would occasionally produce a sinking feeling and send her sifting through her dictionaries to

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Testimony as Historical Record: Voices from the Holocaust How Survivor Accounts, Hidden Diaries, and Resistance Networks Document Genocide and Shape Memory, 1933?1945【電子書籍】[ Sofia Lane ]

＜p＞The Holocaust's historical record exists because victims documented their own persecution even as it happened. This book examines how Jewish diarists, ghetto archivists, resistance fighters, and survivors created firsthand testimony that became essential evidence of Nazi genocide between 1933 and 1945. It traces how these sources reveal not only systematic murder but also Jewish agency, community resilience, and the moral choices ordinary people faced under impossible conditions. Drawing on the Oyneg Shabes archive, Sonderkommando testimonies, hidden diaries like those of Emanuel Ringelblum and Etty Hillesum, postwar survivor accounts, and documentation efforts across occupied Europe, the narrative follows those who consciously preserved evidence for future generations. It explores how Warsaw Ghetto historians buried metal containers of documents before deportations, how Auschwitz prisoners smuggled notes describing gas chambers, and how survivors gave testimony despite trauma to ensure the world would know what happened. The book examines these sources as both historical evidence and acts of resistanceーwriting became a way to maintain humanity, assert identity, and counter Nazi erasure. It traces how survivor testimony evolved from immediate postwar accounts through Eichmann trial testimonies to video archives, and how memory institutions use these sources to document not just death but the lives, cultures, and communities the Nazis destroyed. Relevant for readers interested in how historical evidence is created under persecution, how testimony functions as both documentation and memorial, and how societies construct collective memory of atrocity through survivor voices.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞While the Armenian Genocide has received significant international recognition, the related experiences of Greeks and Assyrians are largely unknown and overlooked. In an original contribution to genocide studies, Themistocles Kritikakos examines the enduring legacies of the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides in the late Ottoman Empire (1914?1923). This book presents the first comprehensive comparative analysis of their efforts to achieve genocide recognition in Australia, advancing our understanding of the Ottoman genocidal campaign and its long-term consequences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Australians witnessed and reported the atrocities and suffering, and provided humanitarian support to survivors between 1915 and 1930. Yet Australian national narratives of reconciliation with Turkey around the Gallipoli Campaign (1915) are in persistent tension with the recognition efforts.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Drawing from oral interviews with descendants of survivors and research in memory and genocide studies, the book explores the intergenerational effects of silence and memories of violence and displacement within families and communities in the diaspora. It examines commemorative practices, sites of memory, and intercommunal coalition-building.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Kritikakos sheds new light on how individuals, families, and communities process and negotiate traumatic experiences across time and place. The study demonstrates how communities that once remembered traumatic pasts separately have developed shared narratives through new forms of remembrance, strengthening their pursuit of recognition.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The book discusses his decision to join the Marines, basic training, Navy schools, two tours in Vietnam, and his decision to muster out. The book closes with his difficult reentry into civilian life and somewhat tumultuous entry into the University of Maryland as an undergraduate Electrical Engineering student. It has some very graphic observations on war's effects on young servicemen.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Frank started compiling this book from notes and observations he had written over the years after his youngest son, Anthony (Tony), questioned him on Father’s Day 2008 about his time served in Vietnam. Since his dad didn't talk much of his time in Vietnam, Tony wondered if he had any disturbing stories about Vietnam. Half way through Frank’s response, Tony stopped his father and said what he was relaying was very hard to listen to.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞The 2008 conversation served as the impetus for Frank to gather his notes and memories and put them to paper, which resulted in an unpublished book for his family, friends, and children to read as a glimpse into his formative young adult years.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞The unpublished book has stirred many interesting conversations over the years and has helped Frank deal with many issues that he kept hidden within for decades.

＜p＞This gripping insider’s account chronicles how and why a young woman in 1950s Algiers joined the armed wing of Algeria’s national liberation movement to combat her country’s French occupiers.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Fiction of Memory Why your most vivid memories are likely lies【電子書籍】[ David Loft ]

＜p＞"The Fiction of Memory ? Why your most vivid memories are likely lies" shatters the metaphor of the brain as a video camera. We believe that when we remember, we are playing back a file. In reality, we are rewriting a story. Every time we recall a memory, we alter it, adding details that weren't there and removing ones that were. Science writer David Loft explores the groundbreaking work of psychologist Elizabeth Loftus. The book details the "Lost in the Mall" experiment, where researchers successfully implanted false childhood memories in adults. It examines the terrifying implications for the justice system, showing how eyewitness testimony can be manipulated by a single leading question. "The Fiction of Memory" teaches readers to be skeptical of their own past. It argues that memory is not a historical record, but a creative act of the present, designed to help us navigate the future, not preserve the truth.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Moments That Feel Like Being a Child Again Understanding Emotional Flashbacks, Nervous System Memory, and Reactions That Don't Match the Present【電子書籍】[ Thalia Brookstone ]

＜p＞Emotional flashbacks don't announce themselves. There's no clear memory, no obvious trigger. You just suddenly feel small, powerless, or overwhelmed in ways that don't match what's actually happening. Your body responds to the present as if it's the past. A tone of voice, a feeling of exclusion, a moment of criticismーand you're back in emotional territory you thought you'd left behind. This book explores why emotional flashbacks happen, examining how the nervous system stores childhood experiences not as narrative memory but as felt sense. It draws on trauma research and attachment theory to explain why certain situations activate old survival responses, why you might feel shame or terror that seems disproportionate, and why logical understanding doesn't always change emotional reaction. Rather than pathologizing these responses or demanding you "get over" the past, it examines what happens when childhood coping strategies persist into adulthood. It explores the gap between intellectual awareness and somatic responseーrecognizing that your body remembers what your mind has forgotten, and that intense reactions aren't overreactions but old protections still running in the background. For those who've felt confused by their own emotional intensity, who recognize patterns but can't seem to change them, or who wonder why certain situations feel unbearable, this book offers clarity about how the past lives in the presentーand what that means for healing.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Ongoing Return Mapping Memory and Storytelling in Palestine【電子書籍】[ Rana Barakat ]

＜p＞In Palestine, a walk across the landscape is a journey of return that defies time, layered with sediments of personal experience and collective peoplehood. For Palestinian scholar Rana Barakat, the experience of place is guided by the stories and memories of her grandmother, who was among the 750,000 people forcibly displaced in 1948 by the newly formed Israeli government. Since then, the violence of settler colonialism has actively prevented the return of Palestinian refugees, including those from Lifta, her family’s ancestral village. In the present, the settler state of Israel controls the fate of the remaining structures in Lifta, enforcing so-called development plans that limit access and leave the valley appearing frozen in time. By gathering stories from family and community members alongside archival sources and lived experience in the West Bank under Israeli occupation, Barakat reveals how storytelling provides a form of ongoing return to a once-thriving village and to Palestine itself.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One of the first books to position Palestinian studies within Indigenous studies, Barakat offers a rich perspective on Palestinian history and the lives of its people today. Embedded in a deeply personal journey, ＜em＞Ongoing Return＜/em＞ takes the reader through the past via the present and dares to imagine futures for Palestine and its people.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Remembering Resistance A Jewish Memoir from Nazi-Occupied Budapest, 1944-45【電子書籍】

＜p＞The existence and achievements of Jewish “self-rescuers” within Nazi-occupied Hungary remains, in spite of their significance, historically underexplored. In this illuminating chronicle of the life and work of a Jewish couple, L?szl? and Eugenia Szamosi, ＜em＞Remembering Resistance＜/em＞ seeks to address this lacunae, offering a unique insight into a family’s personal history of resistance under the Nazi regime. Combining oral testimony from fellow survivors, with a previously-unpublished translation of L?szl?’s memoir, this book foregrounds the remarkable work of the Szamosis and their network, in rescuing Jews from the Death Marches and reuniting displaced families. Through doing so, this book offers a powerful framework for mediating how we remember Jewish experiences of the Holocaust.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Doorway Effect Why walking into a room makes you delete your memory【電子書籍】[ Emily Moss ]

＜p＞"The Doorway Effect ? Why walking into a room makes you delete your memory" explains a universal human experience: You walk into the kitchen to get something, pass through the door, and suddenly have no idea why you are there. This is not early-onset dementia; it is a feature of how the human brain organizes memories. Author Emily Moss describes the "Event Horizon" theory. The brain treats different rooms as different "files." When you walk through a doorway, the brain performs a "context reset" to free up processing power for the new environment, effectively dumping the short-term memory from the previous room. "The Doorway Effect" offers comfort and strategies. It teaches readers to carry physical cues (like holding the empty cup) to bridge the context gap. It is a fascinating look at the spatial nature of thought and why our minds are mapped to our physical surroundings.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
