Just Human: The Quest For Disability Wisdom, Respect, And Inclusion

by Arielle Silverman

Born without sight, Dr. Arielle Silverman has never missed the visual. Being blind never bothered her much but, as she grew, she discovered others saw her blindness very differently. Many people saw her as either helpless or inspirational, but rarely did they see her as just human, with the same capacities and desires as her peers. Arielle has spent a lifetime exploring ways to foster respect and inclusion, not only for blind people like her, but for all of us whose bodies or minds differ from the norm. <P><P> In Just Human, she reflects on her formative years and presents unique anecdotes from her life that carry teachable moments for all of us. She recalls the feel of her mother’s embrace, the smell of her grandparents’ brisket, the inner sensations of a preteen crush, the music on her wedding day, and scholarly lessons from her dissertation research. Her words paint pictures from her mind’s eye: a vision of a world where we can radically accept ourselves and our fellow humans, while at the same time work to change systems of inequality. As she writes of the past and the present, Arielle looks toward the future, considering how we can build a more inclusive world for those who come after us.

Salah: A Believer's Ascension to the Heavens

by Fethullah Gulen

Prayer is an essential part of a Muslim&’s life. While a believer can pray and offer their devotions any time and any where they like, Islamic tradition prescribes a specific form of prayers to be performed at five different times of the day. It is a celebratory act of submission in which believers align themselves with all other creation by offering their praise and gratitude to God, the Merciful, the Compassionate, as they stand, bow, and prostrate in propriety. These daily prayers are called salah, and this book is an all-comprehensive exploration of this spiritual act by one of the leading Muslim scholars of our time. The focus in this book is more on the spiritual aspect of salah, rather than its formulaic details which can be easily found in countless other manuals.

Learning to follow his 8 Steps to Get Cooperized™ may be the way to make you healthy again, as it could the entire world, and help extend your life by as much as 10 years. Even minimal improvements—such as going from being totally inactive to exercising just 30 minutes a day, most days per week—are enough to drastically alter the course of a person&’s life. Reduce your risk of Alzheimer&’s and dementia, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, and certain types of cancer by moving more. Today, at age 94, after practicing and teaching the value of preventive medicine, Dr. Cooper continues to think about new ways of doing things, new ways of presenting and studying data, new ways of looking at prevention. Take a deep dive inside the mind of an icon. He&’s done the research for you. Now it&’s your choice to become healthier sooner than later.

The New Conservatives: Restoring America's Commitment to Family, Community, and Industry

by Oren Cass American Compass

For the fifth anniversary of American Compass, the conservative think tank hailed by the Wall Street Journal as "the forefront of rethinking traditional conservative economic ideas," comes a collection of its best, most influential writingAmerican Compass is the nerve center of the New American Right, the political strategists and policy experts navigating a new Republican path through the economic issues shaping today&’s political landscape—trade and immigration, technology and finance, industrial policy, education, welfare, labor, family, and more. The New Conservatives is the organization&’s ur-text, a collection of its most influential writing on why and how true conservative government fosters markets that serve society—not the other way around. As The Economist put it, American Compass is &“a slaughterhouse for Republican sacred cows.&” With essays and manifestos by American Compass founder Oren Cass, New America co-founder Michael Lind, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Affairs founding editor Yuval Levin, American Affairs founding editor Julius Krein, author and former American Conservative senior editor Helen Andrews, and Comment senior editor Brian Dijkema, The New Conservatives breaks down America&’s economic and political failures before drawing upon a re-assessed American conservative tradition to prove how an innovative conservative movement, breaking from the GOPs free-market dogmatism, is defined by three pillars—productive markets, supportive communities, and responsive politics. The book explores American Compass&’ groundbreaking projects, like the Cost-of-Thriving Index, which explains how the typical American worker could once provide a family with middle-class security on 40 weeks of work but now requires more than 60—a problem, there being 52 weeks in a year. It refines the American conservative tradition, which most people today wrongly assume emphasized free markets and limited government, reminding readers that the early American republic pursued a robust national economic policy with high protective tariffs and intensive public investment. It offers new conservative critiques of modern markets that have failed to deliver on capitalism&’s promise that globalization, cheap labor, and financial markets will deliver widespread prosperity. And it sets capitalism&’s sights on community: re-calibrating a right-of-center attitude toward families, worker power and solidarity, and higher education. The New Conservatives, published in celebration of American Compass&’ fifth anniversary, is a conservative manifest, a ship&’s log, and an updated nautical chart to an economy in which free markets are not an end unto themselves, but are rather a means to an end—national liberty and prosperity—steered by public policy.

The Ghost Warriors: Inside Israel's Undercover War Against Terrorism

by Katz M. Samuel

The untold story of the Ya&’mas, Israel's special forces undercover team that infiltrated Palestinian terrorist strongholds during the Second Intifada. This new edition includes an epilogue chapter reflecting on Israel-Palestine since 2008 and how the reignited conflict has developed.It was the deadliest terror campaign ever mounted against a nation in modern times: the Second Intifada. This is the untold story of how Israel fought back with an elite force of undercover operatives, drawn from the nation's diverse backgrounds and ethnicities—and united in their ability to walk among the enemy as no one else dared. Beginning in late 2000, as black smoke rose from burning tires and rioters threw rocks in the streets, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Arafat&’s Palestinian Authority embarked on a strategy of sending their terrorists to slip undetected into Israel&’s towns and cities to set the country ablaze, unleashing suicide attacks at bus stops, shopping malls, pizzerias—wherever people gathered. But Israel fielded some of the most capable and cunning special operations forces in the world. The Ya&’mas, Israel National Police Border Guard undercover counterterrorist units, became Israel&’s eyes-on-target response. Launched on intelligence provided by the Shin Bet, indigenous Arabic-speaking Dovrim, or &“Speakers,&” operating in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza infiltrated the treacherous confines where the terrorists lived hidden in plain sight, and set the stage for the intrepid tactical specialists who often found themselves under fire and outnumbered in their effort to apprehend those responsible for the carnage inside Israel. This is the compelling boots-on-the-ground true story: a tale of daring and deception that could happen only in the powder keg of the modern Middle East.

Crockett: The Real-Life Adventures of the Frontier Legend

by Buddy Levy

&“A great myth-busting story, written in a taut narrative style that is guaranteed to keep the reader up all hours turning the pages.&” —Martin Dugard, coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller Killing Lincoln (with Bill O&’Reilly)Crack open the most in-depth, exciting portrait of Davy Crockett ever written, from acclaimed bestselling adventure-history author Buddy Levy.

From a humble childhood and meager education, the legendary adventurer David Crockett led a distinguished life, winning three elections as a congressman and earning a presidential nomination. Buddy Levy reveals the fascinating truth of Crockett, beyond the newspaper spins and folkloric celebrity status, as a figure that both embraced and clashed with the identity of the American Old West.

But in this beautifully written narrative, Davy Crockett emerges as never before: a rugged individual, a true American original, and an enduring symbol of the Western frontier.

Hope I Get Old Before I Die: Why Rock Stars Never Retire

by David Hepworth

From the author of Abbey Road and Never a Dull Moment, the basis for AppleTV's 1971 documentary, come the stories of how rock icons like Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and more have survived, thrived, and remained the most powerful forces in music.When Paul McCartney closed Live Aid in July of 1985, we thought he was rock&’s Grand Old Man. He was forty-three years old. As the forty years since have shown, he—and many others of his generation—were just getting started. This was the time when live performance took over from records. The big names of the &’60s and &’70s exploited the Age of Spectacle that Live Aid had ushered in to enjoy the longest lap of honor in the history of humanity, continuing to go strong long after everyone else in the business had retired. This is a story without precedent, a story in which Elton John plays a royal funeral, Mick Jagger gets a knighthood, Bob Dylan picks up a Nobel Prize, The Beatles become, if anything, bigger than The Beatles, and it&’s beginning to look as though all of the above will, thanks in a large part to technology, be playing in Las Vegas forever.

Son of Birmingham: A Memoir

by Randall Woodfin Edward T. Bowser

Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight.This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks readers through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Expressive Networks: Poetry and Platform Cultures

by Matthew Kilbane

Expressive Networks convenes an urgent conversation on digital media and the social life of contemporary poetry. Tracing how poems circulate through online spaces and how capitalized platforms have come to pattern the reading and writing of poetry, contributors emphasize both the expressivist cast of digital literary culture and the deep-running ambivalence that characterizes aesthetic and critical responses to platformed cultural production. The volume features chapters on Pan- African spoken word programs, Singaporean Facebook groups, decolonial hemispheric networks, and Japanese media-critical poetries as well as platforms such as Twitter/X, Instagram, and Amazon. Though contributors write from a variety of methodological positions and address themselves to a range of archives, they share the primary conviction that the impact of Web 2.0 on literary practice is far-reaching, far from self-evident, and far more variegated and unpredictable than easy summations of social media’s influence suggest. Expressive Networks asks after poetry’s present and future by examining what poems themselves express about the social make-up of networked platforms. Edited by Matthew Kilbane with contributions from Cameron Awkward-Rich, Micah Bateman, Andrew Campana, Sumita Chakraborty, Scott Challener, C.R. Grimmer, Tess McNulty, Michael Nardone, Seth Perlow, Anna Preus, Susanna Sacks, Carly Schnitzler, Melanie Walsh, and Samuel Caleb Wee.
