  Discover the ancient symbols that have endured for two thousand years — and learn to work with them today. 
  The runes are one of the oldest symbolic systems in the Western world. Carved into weapons, grave markers, and wooden sticks by Viking Age merchants, they were used for everything from protective magic to love letters to legal inscriptions — and are still in active use today by practitioners who find in them a direct and reliable tool for self-knowledge and spiritual practice. 
  The Magic of Norse Runes is a complete guide to the Elder Futhark, written for readers who want more than a symbol dictionary. Erik Hansen traces the runes from their origins in the second century CE through the full arc of Viking Age history and into the present, grounding every aspect of the practice in the tradition that gave it meaning. 
  Inside: The history of the runic alphabets, from the Elder Futhark to the Dalecarlian runesNorse mythology as the living framework behind the symbolsDetailed explorations of all twenty-four runes, with upright and reversed meaningsThe traditions of runic magic (galdr) and Norse shamanism (seidr)Practical guidance on divination methods and daily rune practiceA tour of the greatest runic inscriptions in existenceAn honest account of the runes' modern revival and contemporary practice 
    
  This is a serious, readable guide to a tradition that rewards patient engagement — written by someone who has been inside it for years and knows where the depth is. 
  Whether you are drawn to the runes by curiosity, by heritage, or by something you can't quite name, this is the place to start.

  Empowerment: Rethinking Gender...

  Empowerment was never meant to create conflict. 
  It was meant to restore balance. 
  Despite decades of laws, policies, and awareness campaigns, gender inequality continues to persist—quietly, deeply, and often in unexpected ways. Working women carry invisible burdens. Men remain confined by rigid expectations. Families and workplaces struggle to translate intention into equality. 
  In Empowerment: Rethinking Gender Roles for a Balanced Society, Dr. (Major) Meeta Tyagi offers a thoughtful, lived exploration of why empowerment efforts often feel incomplete—and what must change for progress to become real. 
  Drawing from real experiences across homes, marriages, workplaces, hospitals, schools, and communities, this book moves beyond slogans to examine how conditioning, silence, misplaced guilt, and distorted narratives sustain imbalance. 
  At its core lies a practical four-step framework for genuine empowerment: Awareness, Boundaries, Discernment, and Action—guiding change without destroying dignity. 
  This is not a book about women versus men. It is about partnership, responsibility, and balance. 
  ABOUT THE AUTHOR 
  Dr. (Major) Meeta Tyagi is a medical professional and administrator whose work spans clinical practice, institutional responsibility, and public service. Her experiences within hospitals, families, and workplaces shaped her reflective engagement with gender roles and empowerment—not as ideology, but as lived reality. 
  She believes empowerment is not endurance or dominance, but balance grounded in dignity and shared responsibility.

  A Legacy of Discrimination - The...

  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.
