  A generational work with far-ranging social and political implications, White Poverty promises to be one of the most influential books in recent years. 
   
   
   
  One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty—along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps—as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result? 
   
   
   
  These are among the questions that the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and the "closest person we have to Dr. King" (Cornel West), addresses in White Poverty, a groundbreaking work that exposes a legacy of historical myths that continue to define both white and Black people, creating in the process what might seem like an insuperable divide. Analyzing what has changed since the 1930s, when the face of American poverty was white, Barber, along with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that just might provide the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans.

  The Harm Reduction Gap - Helping...

  This book teaches how harm reduction can be a safety net for people with substance use disorders that our current addiction treatment rejects, abandons, and leaves behind. 
   
   
   
  Harm reduction is an approach to helping people who engage in high-risk activities to develop the skills and strategies to keep them and their communities safe. This can include the provision of sterile equipment, low-threshold and low-barrier care, and the acceptance of non-abstinence goals in treatment. In this novel guide, Dr. Vakharia discusses the shortcomings of the dominant "Just Say No" drug prevention messages and abstinence-only treatment approaches, introduces harm reduction strategies and technologies borne from people who use drugs themselves, and suggests various policy options available as alternatives to the current policies that criminalize drugs, drug-using equipment, and the settings in which people use drugs. The final chapter calls on the listener to destigmatize drug use and support efforts to reform our drug policies. 
   
   
   
  By highlighting the large gap in our current approach to substance use—the harm reduction gap—this book is the first step for those interested in learning more about the limitations of our current approach to drug use and how to support local efforts to ensure people who use drugs and their communities can stay safe.

  What if public wisdom was only a performance? 
  In Protagoras, Plato stages an epic confrontation between two forces: Socratic philosophy and Sophistic reputation. At the heart of this dramatic dialogue is a question that echoes through the centuries—can virtue be taught, or is it just a clever performance by those who claim to know? 
  With dazzling speeches, sly irony, and relentless questioning, this modern audiobook adaptation brings to life one of Plato’s most dynamic texts. 
  What you’ll discover inside: 
  •	A powerful intellectual showdown between Socrates and the famed sophist Protagoras 
  •	Insight into the tension between rhetoric, education, and genuine wisdom 
  •	Philosophical inquiry into whether virtue is teachable—or even definable 
  •	A vivid, flowing modern translation designed to entertain as well as challenge 
  Whether you're a teacher, student, or truth-seeker, Protagoras will leave you questioning the difference between knowledge and applause.

  The Great Beyond - Unraveling...

  The concept of life after death is one of humanity’s most profound and enduring mysteries. Across cultures and time periods, people have sought to understand what happens after we take our last breath. Whether driven by religious beliefs, philosophical musings, or personal experiences, the question of the afterlife has shaped much of human thought and civilization. It has influenced not only religious teachings but also art, literature, and even scientific inquiries into consciousness and the nature of existence. 
  Throughout history, the afterlife has been envisioned in countless ways. Ancient Egyptians believed in a journey to the underworld where the soul would face judgment, while the Greeks and Romans saw it as a realm of shadows or a place of eternal bliss for the virtuous. In the East, Hinduism and Buddhism introduced the concept of reincarnation, where the soul is reborn into new lives, shaped by karma. Similarly, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have their own distinct visions of heaven, hell, and the possibility of eternal life. 
  Despite the diversity of beliefs, there is a common thread that runs through all of them: the hope that death is not the end, but a transition to another realm or state of being. For many, the afterlife provides comfort, offering a sense of continuity after the end of physical existence. For others, it serves as a source of moral guidance, with promises of reward for virtue and punishment for wrongdoing.
