Synopsis

In "The Life of the Outlaw (Boxed Set)", George W. Ogden offers a comprehensive exploration of the American outlaw archetype, spanning various historical periods and cultural contexts. This meticulously researched work employs a narrative style that marries vivid storytelling with rigorous scholarship, making it accessible yet profound. Ogden delves into the sociopolitical factors that have shaped the mythos of outlaws in American folklore, examining figures such as Jesse James and Billy the Kid through an analytical lens that reveals deeper societal reflections. The book is divided into themed sections, each providing a nuanced understanding of the interplay between law, morality, and heroism within American history. George W. Ogden, a noted historian and scholar of American folklore, is well-situated to tackle this subject matter. With a background in cultural studies and a passion for the complexities of American identity, Ogden combines academic rigor with a deep understanding of narrative. His previous works have received critical acclaim for their insightful analysis and engaging prose, offering a rich foundation for this boxed set. I highly recommend "The Life of the Outlaw" to readers interested in American history, cultural studies, and the enduring appeal of the outlaw figure. Ogden's engaging narrative style and extensive research provide not only an entertaining read but also a profound examination of the values and tensions that have shaped the American experience.

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    This is a snapshot of your personal and unique way of processing information. I’ve written it over a period of many years–tweaking it as I researched and learned more about our layers of learning. 
    I’ve taught violin, raised children, and given workshops (some for music students and some for authors of children’s books where we discussed the child’s development at various ages so that when they wrote a book, they knew the thinking of their characters). 
    Kids think differently in just a matter of a few months. What scared them at six years old at seven is just a matter of fact. What made them laugh at four is no longer funny at five. 
    Some topics include: 
    Step 1: - The Dream, Step 2: Creating the Vision (under your control)-What you need to 'activate' -Chatting with the birds-Drift–Driven – Design your life-What is the Gas that Runs the Motor that Feeds the Meter? The Meter, The Motor, The Gas-Today I identified with a gas station.-Life is better when in balance-Correction/praise-Activity/stillness-Humor/thoughtfulness-Guidance/independence-How we are wired-I feel Happy,I feel healthy,I feel Terrific !!-The four D's we can actually influence and one that we can't-Disappointed-Discouraged-Disillusioned-Depressed-Dismayed-Vulnerability - the birthplace of change-Auditory Learner-Do You Deserve a Break Today?-Words have power-Guidance-Do you see, hear, or touch to process?-Super Heroes work hard-Can they burn out or feel stressed?-Have fun while studying”-Capturing the moment-Confessions of a Super Hero-Habits vs Needs-Habits meet needs.-Input vs Core Message-What we listen to makes a difference-How They Are Wired-Give Written Instructions-Sequential Learner-Map People Change the World-Zig Zag Patterns-Planting Seeds and Habits-Kinesthetic Learner-Missed Modalities-The Internal Race-How can we force change without the brain going into a tantrum-Differences in Study Needs-The Dominant Ear-Creating our own reality-Dominant foot

    This book contains three topics: 
    - The Yalta Conference: The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was a pivotal moment in the history of the 20th century, marking the intersection of military triumph and political strategy. As World War II neared its end, the leaders of the three major Allied powers—President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—gathered in the Crimean resort town of Yalta to discuss the future of Europe and the post-war world. This summit was not only a negotiation of territory but a critical turning point that set the stage for the global dynamics that would shape the Cold War and the decades that followed. 
    - Nuremberg Trials: The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military tribunals held after World War II to prosecute prominent leaders of Nazi Germany for crimes committed during the war. These trials were a defining moment in the history of international law and marked the first time that individuals were held accountable on an international stage for atrocities committed by a regime. The trials took place in the city of Nuremberg, Germany, from 1945 to 1949, and were conducted by the Allied powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France—who sought to bring justice to the victims of the Holocaust, forced labor, and widespread destruction caused by the Nazis. 
    - Codebreakers: The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever.

    How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland – North and South – treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states' so-called 'redress' schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.
    
    The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Ireland's carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

    An excellent narrative is remembered by everyone. Regardless of the subject matter, good tales stick with us, whether we hear them on the radio, read about them in the newspaper, or watch them unfold on live television. A good story can be pretty compelling when recounted by a great storyteller. Effective storytellers can captivate their audience, guide them in whichever direction they need, and leave listeners/readers with new information to absorb and a value to carry with them.There's an old adage that people who tell stories are the ones who dominate the world. Whether you're pitching an investor, conducting a meeting, or introducing a new initiative, storytelling should be at the heart of everything you do as a team. Even a phone chat with a potential client entails some form of narrative. You may connect with customers, engage with colleagues, and even start a movement by using the power of storytelling.People often believe that learning a lesson through observation is less painful than learning through experience. When we share and embrace our failures, we assist others in overcoming their own challenges. The story can invest a concept with meaning and emotions in a way that plain writing cannot. People are drawn to stories because they can grasp a concrete object. Stories elicit emotions and motivate people to act.Speeches, presentations, workshops, and even board meetings can all benefit from the use of storytelling. Don't forget about it; it's been one of humanity's most valuable abilities since the dawn of communication.
