  Do you feel disconnected? Lonely? Sick and tired of being sick and tired? Long before COVID-19 emerged, researchers were reporting that united states citizens were having less sex. Some even going so far as to call it a “sex apocalypse”. Throughout this book, Dr. bird explores not only how and why this phenomenon occurred, but also unboxes foundationally regifted social, relational, and technological u.s. misinformation(s) and disinformation(s), which have devolved into our digital and increasingly algorithmic envirusment. To do so, first, they argue that our dominant ideas of intelligence have always been limited. Then, they connect those logics to escalating environmental crises. Third, Dr. bird reveals how our major ideas of relational intelligence have been tainted by these widely accepted human misconceptions. And, not only that, but that this mentality has been copy and pasted across nearly everything that we do and love. In doing so, Dr. bird makes clear how the envirusment era presents us abundant opportunities to understand how, in numerous violent taken for granted ways, an idea that the “body is a machine” has infected our lifestyles, sickening, disabling, and poisoning us all to death for profit. Yet, in new viral forms, instead of liberatory solutions, the richest continue to invest in more inhumane artificial intelligence. Instead, Dr. bird insists current problems cannot be solved without transformational human solutions, reminding us that we all hold and can embrace our authenticity, reflecting on our life’s knowledge, to fix this shit.

  "Marshaling fine-grained historical detail and scrupulous analysis, Hardwick persuades." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  As a Black autistic pastor and disability scholar, Lamar Hardwick lives at the intersection of disability, race, and religion. Tied to this reality, he heeded the call to write How Ableism Fuels Racism to help Christian communities engage in critical conversations about race by addressing issues of ableism. 
   
   
   
  Hardwick believes that ableism—the idea that certain bodies are better than others—and the disability discrimination fueled by this perspective are the root causes of racial bias and injustice in American culture and in the church. Here, he uses historical records, biblical interpretation, and disability studies to examine how ableism in America led to the creation of images, idols, and institutions that perpetuate both disability and racial discrimination. 
   
   
   
  He then goes a step further, calling the church into action to address the deep-seated issues of ableism that started it all and offering practical steps to help listeners dismantle ableism and racism both in attitude and practice.

  History for Kids: The Lives of...

  Editors Charles River

  The Founding Fathers have held a special place in American society since the nation gained its freedom, and many of them had become national heroes even before then. Over 200 years later, Americans still look with reverence to these men, often debating with each other what the Founding Fathers would think about a certain issue, or how they would judge a certain law or legislation. In many respects, these men have become icons, whose words, thoughts and deeds are rarely questioned. 
  Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights and myths of Washington's life. Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in authoring the Declaration of Independence, laying out the ideological groundwork of the notion of states’ rights, leading one of the first political parties, and overseeing the expansion of the United States during his presidency. Before the United States of America even existed, the first American celebrity was Benjamin Franklin, who dabbled throughout his life in many fields as an author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. Despite being one of the youngest delegates at the Constitutional Convention, James Madison was the Convention’s most influential thinker, and the man most responsible for the final draft of the U.S. Constitution, forever earning the name "Father of the Constitution). And if the American Dream has come to represent the ability to climb the social ladder with skill and hard work, no Founding Father represented the new America more than Alexander Hamilton, an orphan who rose to become one of the influential Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention, the driving force behind the Federalist Papers, and the leader of a political party before engaging in the country's most famous duel.
