  Inflation is back, and its impact can be felt everywhere, from the grocery store to the mortgage market to the results of elections around the world. Yet the conventional wisdom about inflation is stuck in the past. Since the 1970s, there has only really been one playbook for fighting inflation: raise interest rates, thereby creating unemployment and a recession, which will lower prices. But this simple story hides a multitude of beliefs about why prices go up and how policymakers can wrestle them back down, beliefs that are often wrong, damaging, and have little empirical basis. 
   
   
   
  Leading political economists Mark Blyth and Nicolò Fraccaroli reveal why inflation really happens, challenge how we think about it, and argue for fresh approaches to combat it. With accessible and engaging commentary, and a good dose of humor, Blyth and Fraccaroli bring the complexities of economic policy and inflation indices down to earth. 
   
   
   
  Climate shocks, demographic change, geopolitical tensions, and politicians promising to upend the global order are all combining to create a more inflationary future, making a new paradigm for understanding inflation urgently necessary. Astute, timely, and engaging, Inflation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the forces shaping our economy and politics.

  A veteran environmentalist shares her roadmap to a healthier world—one that uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities everywhere.
  We have reached a critical tipping point in our fight for the environment: Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters devastate homes, and the most vulnerable suffer the health effects of pollution. Yet our laws are designed to accommodate this destruction rather than prevent it. Without government support, it's no wonder people feel powerless. But there is a solution.
  In The Green Amendment, veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority—our state and federal constitutions—to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment.
  Through compelling interviews with activists on the ground, clear evidence from experts, and heartbreaking stories from those hit hardest by environmental ruin, The Green Amendment lights the path forward. In this updated edition of her trailblazing 2017 book, van Rossum invites readers to join the movement by sharing:
  
  - Why Green Amendments work where other movements have failed
  - How to position Green Amendments and what specific language offers the strongest legal protections
  - How to argue in favor of environmental rights, and the economic and health benefits that will help activists make the case
  - How Green Amendments address the crucial intersection of environmentalism and anti-racism
  - What everyone—from artists and students to scientists and lawyer—can do to further the cause
  With the power of The Green Amendment, we can claim our environmental rights, ensuring a clean, safe Earth for generations to come.

  "Emile, or On Education" is a novel written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and published in 1762. The book is a treatise on education and focuses on the development of a single individual, Emile, from infancy to adulthood. 
  Rousseau's novel is notable for its emphasis on natural education, or the idea that children should be allowed to learn through their own experiences and interactions with the world around them. The book is divided into five sections, each of which focuses on a different stage of Emile's life and the corresponding education he should receive. 
  In the first section, Rousseau argues that children should be allowed to develop naturally and that their education should be based on their own interests and abilities. He also emphasizes the importance of physical education and the need for children to learn through play. 
  In the second section, Rousseau discusses the importance of developing Emile's sense of morality and character, emphasizing the need for him to learn to be honest, courageous, and independent. 
  The third section focuses on Emile's intellectual education, including the importance of developing his reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills. 
  In the fourth section, Rousseau discusses Emile's social education, including his interactions with other people and the importance of developing his empathy and understanding of others. 
  Finally, in the fifth section, Rousseau discusses the importance of Emile's religious education and the role that religion should play in his life. 
  Overall, "Emile, or On Education" is a significant work in the history of educational philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and educators today.

  Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
   
   
   
  Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
   
    
   
  Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.
