    Analyzes the current wave of depression, or "desertion," that is causing more and more people to abandon hope and desire in a world where social, political, and environment collapse seems inevitable. 
     
     
     
    Depression is rife amongst young people the world over. But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unlivable future? 
     
     
     
    In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this "depression" is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as "desertion." A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain. 
     
     
     
    Berardi analyzes why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from "both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability" (Chicago Tribune). 
     
     
     
    As Erich Fromm points out, ours is "a life between having and being"—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. 
     
     
     
    The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    A timely defense of affirmative action policies that offers a more nuanced understanding of how centuries of invidious racism, discrimination, and segregation in the United States led to and justifies such policies from both a moral and constitutional perspective. 
     
     
     
    In A Legacy of Discrimination, leading constitutional scholars Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone trace affirmative action's history and the legal challenges it has faced over the decades. They argue that in order to fully comprehend affirmative action's original intent and impact, we must reacquaint ourselves with the era in which it arose, beginning with the most important Supreme Court decision of the twentieth century, 1954's Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Assessing this history, Bollinger and Stone introduce subsequent, and evolving, affirmative-action case law that had the intent and effect of constraining social, educational, and economic progress for Black people and other minority groups. They demonstrate how and why affirmative action policies stand on firm legal ground and must remain protected. Further, they explain why Americans must view affirmative action as a long-term moral commitment to secure justice, especially for Black Americans, after three and a half centuries of grave injustice that violates the most essential aspirations of our nation.

    In a shattered America ruled by tyranny and fear, freedom is on the brink of extinction. 
    Once a beacon of democracy, the United States has fallen under the iron grip of a ruthless autocrat and his sinister regime. Behind the scenes, a billionaire technocrat orchestrates a surveillance state so vast and oppressive, no one escapes its gaze. As white nationalist militias enforce brutal policies and entire populations vanish into the night, a secret resistance rises from the shadows. 
    Led by the fearless Sophia Navarro, the elite Black Aegis Division fights a desperate shadow war against the Ivory Empire's monstrous machine. When Sophia discovers her long-lost mother may be imprisoned within the regime's most feared black site, Obsidian, she must lead a daring mission into the heart of darkness—risking her life, her team, and the last flicker of hope for humanity. 
    But in a world built on lies and betrayal, the truth is a weapon more dangerous than any gun. 
    The Last Defenders: Rise of the Black Aegis is a pulse-pounding dystopian thriller about loyalty, sacrifice, and the unbreakable human will to resist. Perfect for fans of V for Vendetta, Children of Men, and The Hunger Games, this gripping saga marks the beginning of an epic battle for the soul of a nation.
