  The Shocking Truth about Drug...

  Drug policies around the world have long been a contentious issue, influencing not only the legal and political landscapes but also public health, economics, and societal structures. The regulation and criminalization of drugs have shaped global attitudes toward substance use, and in turn, these policies have had profound, sometimes detrimental, effects on individuals and communities. As we examine the shocking truth about drug policies, it becomes clear that the system in place is not only ineffective but also exacerbates many of the problems it seeks to address. 
  	  
  In its most basic form, drug policy refers to the laws, regulations, and practices that govern the production, distribution, and use of controlled substances. But this simple definition belies the complexity of the issue. Drug policies intersect with numerous societal factors, including crime, health, racial disparities, and international relations. The war on drugs, for instance, has led to millions of individuals being incarcerated, often disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Meanwhile, the cost of enforcing these laws—both financially and socially—has ballooned, without significant improvements in public safety or health outcomes. 
  	  
  In countries like the United States, the harsh consequences of drug criminalization have sparked debates on whether a punitive approach is the most effective or if alternative solutions, such as decriminalization or harm reduction, would yield better results. Across the globe, there are countries that have adopted progressive policies, focusing on treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. These nations have witnessed significant improvements in public health and reduced rates of incarceration, challenging the traditional narrative around drug use and its societal consequences.

  When Erica met John Baccus, it was the beginning of a love story that would span 41 unforgettable years-full of laughter, devotion, adventure, and quiet moments that stitched their souls together. Erica was the outgoing wife that wanted to travel the world and John was the supportive husband that never told her no. So when John was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and the choice came along, he asked Erica if she would help him end his life, and of course, her answer was yes. 
  In this deeply moving memoir, Erica Baccus invites readers into their intimate journey-through the beauty of their shared life, the heartbreak of decline, and the courageous choice John made to say goodbye on his own terms through assisted suicide. 
  A Promise Kept is more than a story of loss-it's a powerful testament to enduring love, dignity, and the strength it takes to honor a partner's final wish. With honesty and grace, Erica shows that even in the hardest moments, there is light, hope, and a different kind of happy ending. 
  This is their story.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky became the writer best known for his treatment of the big questions of ethics, religion, and philosophy. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, Deborah Martinsen explores Dostoevsky's tumultuous life story: his political imprisonment and narrow escape from execution, his Siberian exile, his gambling addiction, his romantic marriage, and his literary success. Martinsen also delves into his major works—Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The Brothers Karamazov, The Diary of a Writer, and more. Each chapter analyzes a key theme or aspect of Dostoevsky's writing that showcases his profound insights into human nature and society: doubling, freedom, shame, social justice, scandal, aesthetics, ethics, faith, and the eternal questions. Martinsen also demonstrates how Dostoevsky's novels remain relevant today as they address pressing questions about freedom, morality, and meaning in a complex world.
