Critical Aesthetic Pedagogy: Toward a Theory of Self and Social Empowerment (New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies)

This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2012.
This book introduces a progressive type of education called Critical Aesthetic Pedagogy. This pedagogy utilizes the arts to promote critical learning, and incorporates particular types of aesthetic experiences into pedagogical practices to increase students’ social empowerment and commitment to social justice. The first coherent body of work that marries critical pedagogy and aesthetics, the book guides theory and practice for teacher educators interested in infusing their critical pedagogical practices with the arts. It also proposes tangible reforms in the public school system that will enable a critical aesthetic process to take root and thrive.
Critical Aesthetic Pedagogy can be used in upper-level undergraduate and graduate teacher education and art education courses. It can also help P-12 teachers and art organizations to successfully develop and carry out critical aesthetic practices at all levels. In addition, it provides a rationale for school administrators, community leaders, and educational policymakers for embracing critical aesthetic practices as a way to improve the education of all children.

The MindBody Code: How to Change the Beliefs that Limit Your Health, Longevity, and Success

Why is it so difficult to change our beliefs and behaviors even when we know they no longer serve us? How can certain individuals reverse incurable disease while others suffer the effects of childhood wounds despite years of therapy? These are the questions readers will explore in the much-anticipated new book from clinical neuropsychologist and biocognitive science founder Dr. Mario Martinez.

In The MindBody Code, Dr. Martinez challenges us to embrace a radically new paradigm for health and well-being. Readers will not only learn the basics of this fascinating cutting-edge science, but they will also learn to communicate with the body in its own biosymbolic language for results that until this point may have been elusive at best. Martinez reveals the way our cultural beliefs impact our immune system, the pathway to healing the archetypal wounds of shame, abandonment, and betrayal, and much more.

Revolution

We all know the system isn’t working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there’s nothing we can do: “It’s just the way things are.”
 
In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that’s fun and inclusive.
 
You have been lied to, told there’s no alternative, no choice, and that you don’t deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists, and BBC stalwarts.
 
This book makes revolution not only possible but inevitable and fun.

Empowerment: Taking Charge of Your Life

In Chapter One of Walden, Henry David Thoreau notes that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” EMPOWERMENT: TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE advises its readers on just how to avoid that “desperation trap” through a set of specific approaches to effective handling of our daily financial and economic challenges. Nothing could be more important to our lives. Consumer economist and author Dr. Eugene F. Elander explains clearly and thoroughly, step by effective step, how each of us can take control of our lives away from the many corporate, government, and agency forces which seek to dominate us and determine our decisions. This allows us to become “the masters of our fates and the captains of our souls” as William Ernest Henley put it. We can become Empowered; we deserve no less. You can take charge of your own destiny by learning and applying techniques which allow you to deal effectively with “the system” – the forces which seek to control us and our lives. Chapter by chapter and step by step, Empowerment: Taking Charge of Your Life provides tried and true ways of dealing with common issues and solving real-life problems. For all of us who are frustrated trying to cope with an increasingly-impersonal system which neglects our needs, Empowerment:Taking Charge of Your Life by Dr. Eugene F. Elander will provide a key set of answers.

Empowerment is S.E.X.Y.: Learning Healthy Selfish and the 4 Secret Steps to Making Life and Love Work.

Can Selfish be Sexy? Can S.E.X.Y be the Roadmap to Authentic Empowerment? Sexy is a mysterious, external energy force that we all crave. What if however, creating authentic S.E.X.Y. actually started from an energy force from within? Meaning, what if our physical glow is actually sparked from an internal self-awareness? What if passion for others is first based on love for Self? There is a four part secret to finding our authentic S.E.X.Y. Now Dr. Tracy, creator of Empowerment is S.E.X.Y.® shares the secret steps to finding yours. In this book you will learn that: S – SELFISH: Selfish is a love word, a protection word and a mandatory word of empowerment. Based in Self-Love, Self-Care and Self-Esteem, the first step on the journey to S.E.X.Y. is learning Selfish. E – EMPOWERED: In order to carve the life we desire, or fix our life when it breaks, we need proper tools in our Life Tool Box. Stop Two on our journey therefore is learning how to ‘lift your hood, check out your personal goods’ and do an inventory of your life tools. X: X-SPOT: We are the Universe’s creative idea. As such we have the right to walk an individual path that feels good to us. Step Three on the road to S.E.X.Y. is to find your X-Spot to individuality and become your grandest self, without apology. Y: “YES” to Rightful Good: As a Citizen of Self, there are 15 “Constitutional” Rights we are granted upon birth. These birthrights guarantee us our right to happiness – to S.E.X.Y.! Step four on the journey is learning to say “Yes” to your Emotional Rights. If you are ready to undress your soul; if you are ready to enjoy the person you see in the emotional mirror of life, the tools (and toys) within Empowerment is S.E.X.Y. are waiting for you.
