Summary

The new biannual, peer-reviewed Journal of Romanian Studies, jointly developed by The Society for Romanian Studies and ibidem Press, examines critical issues in Romanian studies, linking work in that field to wider theoretical debates and issues of current relevance, and serving as a forum for junior and senior scholars. The journal also presents articles that connect Romania and Moldova comparatively with other states and their ethnic majorities and minorities, and with other groups by investigating the challenges of migration and globalization and the impact of the European Union.    Issue No. 2 contains:    Lucian Leuștean: Romania, the Paris Peace Conference and the Protection System of “Race, Language and Religion” Minorities: A Reassessment  Gavin Bowd: Between France and Romania, Between Science and Propaganda. Emmanuel de Martonne in 1919  Doina Anca Cretu: Humanitarian Aid in the “Bulwark of Bolshevism:” The American Relief Administration and the Quest for Sovereignty in Post-World War I Romania  Gábor Egry: Made in Paris?

    The Common Reader - Volume 2

    Virginia Woolf

    Do not think, because this collection of essays is titled Volume 2, that there is anything lesser or additional to it. Here is Virginia Woolf at her most entertaining and informative, relishing the portraits and insights she presents as she surveys a varied collection of individuals in English society and English literature. 
     
    The subjects range from the Elizabethans to Thomas Hardy, and then concludes, unexpectedly, with ‘How Should One Read A Book?' Here is one delight after another: twenty-six occasional pieces (journalistic diversions) which demonstrate that her eye for history, for an individual's place in history and in books, is just as acute and vivid as any character in her better-known novels. 
     
    Many are familiar names. John Donne, Robinson Crusoe, De Quincey, Lord Chesterfield. There is Dr Burney's Evening Party and George Gissing, names which indicate there is no overall scheme whatsoever! Woolf champions certain figures, such as Mary Wollstonecraft (admiring her personal stance and strength) and yet has time to cast a softer, kindly eye on Dorothy Wordsworth. The detail contained in these portraits will last long in the memory—Beau Brummell descending from being the unimpeachable dandy to a sad decline; the curious eccentric personality of the poet and hymn writer William Cowper and his affection for Lady Austen. 
     
    Time and again, the skill and the wit of the great writer that is Virginia Woolf simply stops one in one's tracks, as in her opening lines on Laurence Sterne. The essay is on A Sentimental Journey but she starts with tipping the hat to Tristram Shandy, which appeared when the author was 45. Woolf comments on Sterne: ‘No young writer could have dared to take such liberties with grammar and syntax and sense and propriety and the longstanding tradition of how a novel should be written. It needed a strong dose of the assurance of middle age and its indifference to censure to run such risks of shocking the lettered by the unconventionality of one's style, and the respectable by the irregularity of one's morals. But the risk was run and the success was prodigious.' What a final sentence! Has the 21st century little time for the elegant essay, the joy of focused wit, of kindness, of acute observation, where the very brevity of format provides a space in which to think and reflect? In The Common Reader Volume 2, (published in 1932), the essay lives on and even more so in this sensitive and engaging book by Georgina Sutton.

    How to Success! - A Writer's...

    A clever writing self-help parody that skewers writers’ guides while offering amusing, almost-helpful advice. 
     
    This parody self-help book for writers is filled with hilariously misguided tips, factual-looking charts, and other advice that knowingly pokes fun at writerly foibles while still cheering would-be authors on. With this book, struggling writers can find suggestions for effective paragraph shapes, tips on where to find inspiration (in your reflection, in the shapes of gum stuck to the ground, in a consultation with your doctor), thoughtful poses for author photos, pull-out procrastination excuses, and much more. How to Success! is filled with enough almost-helpful advice to keep aspiring writers amused, unblocked, and on their way to literary fame. 
     
    “How to Success! lightens the pressure many creatives put on themselves to succeed. In effect, it acts as a mirror, showing readers how silly and elusive writing—and writers—can be. Caputo offers practical advice with a comedic twist that will have you laughing out loud.” —Failure Magazine

    A restorative and resonant memoir of a year in the life of an aging shepherd 
    		 
    For 50 years, Barbara McLean has tended a flock of Border Leicester sheep on her small Ontario farm, Lambsquarters. In Shepherd’s Sight she shares the crises, pleasures, and challenges of farm life over the course of a year. Now in her 70s, McLean faces a new problem: how much longer she can continue with the physically taxing work that is her central source of meaning and satisfaction.  
    		 
    Through her unsentimental gaze, we witness the highs and heartbreaks of delivering and rearing lambs, the shearing and spinning of wool, the wildlife in the woods (and occasionally in the house), and the garden produce moving from seed to harvest to table. Even after half a century on this land, McLean is still making fresh observations, and she shares them in evocative, elegant prose. As she moves through the calendar year, she also reflects on years past, offering a long view on climate, stewardship, and agriculture. 
    		 
    With its vivid description and absorbing storytelling, Shepherd’s Sight offers an unforgettable glimpse of a life lived on the land.

    The field of special education in 2022 has progressed to a point where we have ways to treat and support students with learning issues, and yet, we frame so much of the special education process from a deficit-based mindset. Even the word, "disability" supports this negative connotation of neurodiversity. This idea book outlines a paradigm for how to view and work with students with diagnoses formed through experience, research, and creativity in a way that supports an ability-forward mindset. Anyone who is parenting or teaching in the special education field would benefit from reading this book and using its ideas within the context of their practice.

    You will notice that most billionaire families in the world always have a way of passing down wealth from one generation to another.  
    This is because when rich men and women teach their children and grandchildren how to sustain wealth, these children tend to emulate the lifestyles of their parents and continue their legacies. Therefore, if you naturally do not have a millionaire mindset, you can be taught. All you need to do is pay attention to the important information in this book, practice the knowledge you gain, pick the points that work for you (not everything works for everyone but there is a lot to go around), and trust me, having a millionaire mindset is easy to practice and it always yield results.  
    I can imagine that you've read many books and listened to different audiobooks and tapes as well; you might have attended many wealth seminars and listened to many speakers give their adrenaline-power-packed speeches about wealth creation that yielded little to no result. I personally believe that wealth creation is more than a motivational speech and it’s even much more than attending a real estate or stock exchange seminar. I believe it’s about understanding the natural principles that underlays wealth creation. It’s also about developing a wealthy mindset and cultivating good habits with money.  
    Your subconscious must be channeled in such a way that your mind must always be attracted to wealth and positivity, else you won’t see results. 
    This book was written to be as listener-friendly as possible (in case you purchased the audio book version).  
    In this book, you will find the best techniques and tips to creating a millionaire mindset.
