Synopsis

Mirror Facts explores the surprising intersection of science, history, and culture found in the everyday object of the mirror. It examines not only the physics of how mirrors reflect light, based on principles of optics and material science, but also how mirror technology has evolved from early polished stones found in archaeological findings to the high-tech reflective surfaces we use today. Did you know that the development of silvering techniques was a pivotal moment in creating clearer, more effective mirrors?

 
The book traces a logical progression, starting with the fundamental laws of reflection and then moving through a chronological history of mirrors across civilizations. It shows how these reflective surfaces have been imbued with cultural symbolism, appearing in art, literature, and even mythology. Exploring this cultural symbolism highlights the fascinating ways different societies view mirrors, from tools for self-reflection to portals in folklore.

 
Mirror Facts takes a unique approach by blending scientific accuracy with historical context and cultural insights. By connecting optics, material science, and art history, the book offers a comprehensive view that will appeal to anyone curious about the hidden stories behind common objects.

    Avoid the speed trap! Discover how changemakers can find lasting solutions to urgent social problems through a proven 5-step process for listening thoughtfully, building broad support, and exploring unconventional options. 
     
     
    Society celebrates leaders who promise fast, easy solutions to the world's problems-but quick fixes are just mirages that fade, leaving us with the same broken systems. The truth is, effective social change happens through slow, intentional actions. The author, a globally acclaimed social entrepreneur, offers a 5-step process for taking the slow lane to change-the lane that gets you to the right place faster: 
     
    -	Listening-Listen to build trust, which can change hearts and minds and allow for something new to emerge. 
    -	Holding the urgency-Accept that even in moments of crisis you can move only at the speed of trust instead of rushing into action. 
    -	Sharing the agency-Create an inclusive environment where everyone can lead. 
    -	Healing democracy-Build bridges that allow marginalized people to participate. 
    -	Maintaining curiosity-Be inspired by nontraditional sources. 
     
    Using dozens of examples-prison reform in England, urban development in Venezuela, healthcare in the Navajo Nation, early childhood education in New York, and many more-The Slow Lane shows how, by following the principles taught in this book, readers can create lasting change.

    Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was a Black political activist, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, which had a following of more than six million African descended people worldwide. Despite his massive popularity, this Jamaican born international leader was wrongfully sentenced to prison by the U.S. government on trumped-up mail-fraud charges. 
     
     
     
    While exoneration efforts began immediately and have continued since his sentencing, a new groundswell movement for Garvey's posthumous pardon is underway—led by his nonagenarian, still-spirited son, Julius Garvey. 
     
     
     
    Edited by Julius Garvey, Justice for Marcus Garvey is a collection of informative essays and personal narratives about the senior Garvey's life and work, demonstrating his essential influence on current social justice movements. The book features contributions from thought leaders and activists, including a foreword by bestselling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Contributors include Paul Coates, founder/director of Black Classic Press; Goulda Downer, president of the Caribbean-American Political Action Committee; Justin Hansford, professor at Howard University School of Law; and Maulana Karenga, widely known as the creator of the holiday Kwanzaa.

    Colin is a young man with mountains of debt.  
      
    He works online in front of a webcam, just trying to make ends meet. How could he refuse an offer to see Thailand and work privately for an older gentleman?  
      
    This would be his first time with a man, but he would do anything to get out of debt – a conviction that will soon be tested. Colin gets an offer through a beautiful woman who is more than meets the eye.  
      
    Will he undergo the procedures necessary to truly become his Master's plaything? Will the humiliation be too much or will he pull through in the end? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesireable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.
