Word Power Made Easy
by Norman LawisWord Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis is a comprehensive vocabulary-building guide designed to help readers strengthen their language skills in a structured, engaging way. Divided into clear sessions, the book introduces words through themes such as personality traits, professions, science, and habits, ensuring contextual understanding rather than rote memorization. Each section begins with a diagnostic test to assess current knowledge, followed by step-by-step lessons that introduce new words, their meanings, origins, and proper usage. The book also incorporates review exercises and comprehensive tests at regular intervals to reinforce learning and track progress. More than just a dictionary of words, it emphasizes etymology, showing how roots, prefixes, and suffixes shape meaning, thereby enabling readers to decode unfamiliar words independently. By blending quizzes, repetition, and practical application, Lewis turns vocabulary building into a progressive skill rather than a chore. Ultimately, the book aims to not only expand word knowledge but also to improve overall communication, self-confidence, and comprehension, making it a lifelong reference for students, professionals, and language enthusiasts alike.

Pathos and Praxis: An Integrated Phenomenology of Life (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Scott DavidsonPathos and Praxis presents a new and original framework for an integrated phenomenology of life. It provides the first comparative study of two influential French philosophers, Paul Ricoeur and Michel Henry, and shows that their debates over the interpretation of Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx signal two rival approaches to the phenomenology of life.Author Scott Davidson demonstrates that while Henry reveals the phenomenological meaning of life through an inward turn to a pure subjective feeling of being alive, Ricoeur anchors its significance in the reciprocal interaction between the self and the world. But these two alternatives are not necessarily opposed.Pathos and Praxis proposes an integrated phenomenology of life to which both Henry and Ricoeur make an important contribution. To be a self is to suffer the pathos of "having a life" but also to be capable of engaging in the praxis of "leading a life." By thinking the pathos and praxis of life together, the integrated approach preserves human agency against deterministic conceptions of life and at the same time avoids the meritocratic hubris that depicts one's life solely as the result of one's own doing. This integration of having and leading a life reframes our thinking about human capabilities and vulnerabilities in a way that has important implications for biopolitics and the ethics of life.
Remarks I–V: Black Notebooks 1942–1948 (Studies in Continental Thought)
by Martin HeideggerThis volume of Martin Heidegger's Black Notebooks contains five short notebooks the philosopher composed during the pivotal years of 1942 to 1948. The notebooks constitute a form of intellectual diary with personal reflections on the fall of National Socialism, the occupation of Germany after WWII, and Heidegger's own philosophical legacy. They address Heidegger's political activities as Rector of Freiburg University in the early phase of National Socialism and testify to his embittered reaction to his own denazification process.While this volume constitutes Heidegger's most intensely personal and autobiographical text, it also documents pivotal philosophical moments between his earlier and later philosophy. Readers interested in the history of intellectuals under National Socialism will find personal insights from the hand of a major philosopher who became involved with National Socialism. Readers interested in the development of Heidegger's thinking will find insightful documentation for the emergence of his post-WWII philosophical work.

Hairwork in Victorian Literature and Culture: Matter, Form, and Craft (Palgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture)
by Heather HindThis book presents an original and engaging study of the cultural history and literary significance of hairwork – the crafting of decorative objects, such as jewellery, from human hair – in Victorian Britain. Hairwork became increasingly fashionable and commercialised in the mid-nineteenth century, before swiftly declining in popularity. Yet, in the Victorian imagination, hairwork held a peculiar capacity to emerge from and capture moments of tension: it was made to mark relationships as they were redefined or consolidated; to process transitions and articulate hope for the future; and to express identities as they were questioned and explored. This book reconstructs and interprets the role of hairwork in revealing and negotiating such desires and anxieties by studying its historical trajectory, surviving artefacts, and practices alongside its literary representations in works by Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, Wilkie Collins, and Margaret Oliphant. It shows how the combination of hairwork&’s matter, form, and craft – the material of hair, the designs and uses of hairwork, and the processes of its making – expose the complexities and tensions within identity, affective relationships, and social relations and thus contributed to its unique place in Victorian culture.

Cultivate an AI Mindset: Identifying and Efficiently Leveraging the Opportunities and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence
by Martina PeukertThe book shows how leaders and employees can develop a mindset to recognize the opportunities of artificial intelligence and think actively and with a future-oriented perspective. Digital transformation requires more than just technical know-how – it demands an open attitude toward new technologies and the courage to question existing thought patterns. An AI mindset therefore means responding openly to change and consciously and strategically leveraging the possibilities of artificial intelligence. It&’s about overcoming uncertainty toward the unknown and embracing AI as a tool for innovation and efficiency. The author explains how leaders can motivate their employees to see AI as an asset, reduce prejudices and fears, and why it is beneficial to engage with this technology. She highlights the opportunities and potential risks of AI and outlines how to proactively address them. With best practices, proven strategies, and AI tools, the author guides you through the key steps – from process optimization to training your team.
Cheap Labour Regime in Platform Capitalism: How Flexible Accumulation Fuels the Super-Exploitation of Gig Workers
by Arif NoviantoThis book offers a groundbreaking exploration of platform-based labor in the Global South, with Indonesia as its primary case study. Moving beyond familiar accounts of precarious work, this book addresses a central paradox: Why do millions continue to aspire to become platform workers, despite low pay, poor protections, and grueling conditions? Drawing on Michael Burawoy&’s labor regime theory, the author examines how labor is governed and exploited under platform capitalism. Through a rigorous mixed-methods research design the book identifies five structural pillars of the "cheap labor regime": the persistent oversupply of labor, hyper-competition between platforms, neoliberal state complicity, labor processes engineered for maximum surplus extraction, and the erosion of workers&’ bargaining power. Indonesia, with an estimated 5 million platform workers, stands as one of the clearest examples of super-exploitation in the digital economy. This book dissects the mechanisms that normalize such conditions, exposing how labor is commodified and discipline enforced not only through economic necessity but also through the architecture of the platforms themselves. This book is essential reading for scholars, students, policymakers, labor organizers, and readers interested in critical perspectives on the future of work. It delivers fresh insights into how digital capitalism shapes labor relations, particularly in the Global South—offering a powerful framework for understanding resistance, inequality, super-exploitation and the enduring allure of platform work.
Religion and Racial Capitalism
by María Eugenia Funes Grace TienMuch of the discourse around diversity, equity, and inclusion have encountered two blind spots. First, discourse in the academy and beyond have prioritized the intersectionality of race and gender but neglected the intersectionality of race and class. Secondly, the resurgence (and now backlash) to diversity, equity, and inclusion have largely benefited cultural and economic elites on the political left and left behind the working class. This book suggests that the framework of racial capitalism can help bring attention to these gaps, in part due to renewed scholarly interest in racial capitalism across academic disciplines. This edited volume is largely motivated by the above gaps in academic and mainstream discourse and makes two primary contributions: first, we examine the unique intersection of religion and racial capitalism, and second, we analyze case studies of racial capitalism in country contexts outside of the U.S., drawing on case studies from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Scholars, particularly historians, have largely examined racial capitalism in the U.S. context. Studies in this edited volume highlight how the challenges and manifestations of racial capitalism, or the complex, intertwined relationship between racial and economic inequality, are not particular to America and the West. Part I of the book investigates the past, or &“origin stories,&” of religion and racial capitalism. Part II, the present, underscores contemporary empirical studies of religion and racial capitalism, like how religious institutions have reinforced, justified, or even promoted racial and economic injustices. Lastly, Part III, future, presents ways forward, or potential interventions in response to religion and racial capitalism.
Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited (Vintage International)
by Vladimir NabokovFrom one of the 20th century's great writers comes one of the finest autobiographies of our time. • "Scintillating … One finds here amazing glimpses into the life of a world that has vanished forever." —The New York Times Speak, Memory was first published by Vladimir Nabokov in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised and republished in 1966. Nabokov's memoir is a moving account of a loving, civilized family, of adolescent awakenings, flight from Bolshevik terror, education in England, and émigré life in Paris and Berlin. The Nabokovs were eccentric, liberal aristocrats, who lived a life immersed in politics and literature on splendid country estates until their world was swept away by the Russian revolution when the author was eighteen years old. Speak, Memory vividly evokes a vanished past in the inimitable prose of Nabokov at his best.
'Salem's Lot
by Stephen KingNOW A NEW FILM STREAMING ON MAX • #1 BESTSELLER • Ben Mears has returned to Jerusalem&’s Lot in hopes that exploring the history of the Marsten House, an old mansion long the subject of rumor and speculation, will help him cast out his personal devils and provide inspiration for his new book. • With an introduction by Joe Hill"A master storyteller." —The Los Angeles TimesWhen two young boys venture into the woods, and only one returns alive, Mears begins to realize that something sinister is at work.

And only he, with a small group of allies, can hope to contain the evil that is growing within the borders of this small New England town.With this, his second novel, Stephen King established himself as an indisputable master of American horror, able to transform the old conceits of the genre into something fresh and all the more frightening for taking place in a familiar, idyllic locale.
The Battle Among the Gods: From Liberation Theology to the New Religious Right in Brazil
by André CastroThe Battle Among the Gods explores the evolving relationship between religion and national identity in Brazil, tracing its roots from the messianic figure of Antônio Conselheiro and the Canudos community, through the transformative era of Liberation Theology, to the contemporary rise of evangelical influence and far-right politics. Grounded in two key intellectual traditions: Brazilian critical thought (Antônio Candido, Roberto Schwarz, Paulo Arantes) and Latin American Liberation Theology (Hugo Assmann, Pablo Richard, Franz Hinkelammert), this book offers a unique analytical synthesis. It interrogates how literary, theological, and political forms shape and reflect the experience of spiritual conflict in a fractured society. As Brazil becomes a global focal point for the interplay of faith and authoritarianism, this book provides essential insight into how religious movements help construct political identities and agendas. It reveals the shared roots between progressive and reactionary religious politics, offering a critical lens on the global resurgence of spiritually framed far-right ideologies. This title is an essential read for scholars of political theology, Latin American studies, religious studies, and contemporary politics, The Battle Among the Gods reframes our understanding of religion’s role in the modern political imagination, both in Brazil and beyond.

Zero Generation Holocaust Literature: The Art of Non-Survival (The Holocaust and its Contexts)
by Adam J. GoldwynThis book is about &“zero generation&” witness literature: texts written by those who died in the Holocaust and who knew, at the time of their writing, that they would not survive. As such, they offer a unique perspective that differs from the more widely read and taught literature written by first generation survivors like Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi. These texts were produced across the concentrationary universe and include: the ghetto diaries of Dawid Sierakowiak (Łódź) and Chaim Kaplan (Warsaw); transit camp work, such as the paintings of Felix Nussbaum (Saint-Cyprien) and the poetry of Yitchak Katznelson (Vittel); anonymous letters thrown from cattle cars; Sonderkommando writing and photography from Auschwitz; non-Jewish letter-writing from Gestapo prisons by Helmuth-James and Freya Von Moltke (Tegel); and the literary work of Hannah Szenes, from her diaries in Palestine to her last poetry and letter in a Budapest prison the day of her execution.

From Rumi to Buddha: Charting Alternative Spiritualities in Contemporary Türkiye (Palgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities)
by Betül Avcı H. Şule AlbayrakAn anthology of diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to new spiritualities, this volume brings together interdisciplinary case studies from literature, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and religious studies. It focuses on a range of figures, movements, concepts, and practices associated with non-traditional spiritualities in contemporary Türkiye, examining how novel, eclectic, quasi-desacralized, and self-oriented forms of spirituality are increasingly favored over traditional ones. Grounded in the current cultural context, the contributors explore how spiritualities originally inspired by Southeast Asian traditions, Shamanic practices, and other sources are first transformed into Western forms, then adapted into Muslim-Turkish settings. The term &“alternative&” highlights the creative, eclectic, non-traditional, or even anti-religious nature of such practices. As the first volume of its kind, this book is an essential resource for scholars of new religious movements and alternative spiritualities in Türkiye.

Obstetrics in Family Medicine: A Practical Guide (Current Clinical Practice)
by Paul Lyons Nathan McLaughlin Monica TulimieroObstetrics, as with all domains of medicine, is always advancing. New science leads to new practice while changes in the environment produce new and emerging challenges, such as the corona virus. The purpose of this new edition is to align this text and its state-of-the-art information with important changes that have occurred in the four years since the last edition was published. The first section of this book focuses on preconception and prenatal care. There are several crucial updates to these chapters. The most critical update to this section falls in the Vaccines in Pregnancy chapter and details the risks and benefits of the COVID vaccine in pregnant women and women looking to get pregnant. There are also counseling updates on preconception nutrition, preconception risk assessment, pre-existing disease management and advances in prenatal screening and prenatal US recommendations and infectious disease detection. Multiple updates on medications in pregnancy are also included as new classes of medications are frequent in this demographic such as diabetes and weight loss medications. The second section details various complications that arise in pregnancy. There are updates to the majority of the chapters in this section, some of which include new screening protocols for dysmorphic growth and genetics, treatments that have since been removed from preterm labor recommendations and again, the most major update would be to the infection in pregnancy chapter, particularly in terms of COVID. The smallest section of the book is the third one on labor and delivery. There are only three chapters in this section so there are minimal updates, but all current best practices are reflected. The fourth and fifth sections of this book focuses on complications of labor and delivery and postpartum management. There are both major and minor changes to these sections. A current understanding of what constitutes &“prolonged&” labor and best practice pathways are introduced as well as updates to the newborn evaluation including screening for genetic, cardiac and hearing issues as well as current guidelines for the management of hyperbilirubinemia. Written by experts in the field, this fully revised and expanded fourth edition of Obstetrics in Family Medicine is a valuable resource for a wide range of primary care providers who provide direct or indirect care of patients of childbearing age. This book also appeals to nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nursing personnel working in the primary care setting. Additionally, this book serves as a useful guide for medical providers who intersect with pregnant, or possibly pregnant patients including emergency medicine physicians, surgeons, EMT's and paramedics.
