  When Ryan Dennis's father was crushed by heavy machinery on their New York dairy farm, both men accepted the accident as a risk of agricultural life. But it was harder to comprehend being crushed by low milk prices, big banks, and the policies that destroyed America's family farms. Even though Ryan grew up watching his father and grandfather struggle to survive, he always thought he would follow in their footsteps and take over the family farm. But as he milked cows and fed calves, the world outside the barn was changing. Between 2003 and 2020, 40,000 dairy farms went out of business in the United States.Barn Gothic is an elegy for family farmers and an intimate portrait of three generations laboring to be fathers and sons while their livelihood falls apart. Beautifully told with a farmer's restraint and a poet's grace, it is a story of personal loss amid corporate corruption and of finding a way forward when everything you know disappears.

  Rodney grew up during the crack epidemic, with guns, drugs, and the threat of incarceration an accepted part of daily life for nearly everyone he knew. To rent his own apartment, he needed a paycheck—something the money from dealing drugs didn't provide. For that, he took a position in 1992 with a new nonprofit, the Earth Conservation Corps. Gradually, Rodney fell in love with the work to restore and conserve the polluted Anacostia River that flows through DC. As conditions along the river improved, he helped to reintroduce bald eagles to the region and befriended an injured Eurasian Eagle Owl named Mr. Hoots, the first of many birds whose respect he would work hard to earn. 
   
   
   
  Bird Brother is a story about pursuing dreams against all odds, and the importance of second chances. Rodney's life was nearly upended when he was arrested on drug charges in 2002. The jail sentence sharpened his resolve to get out of the hustling life. With the fierceness of the raptors he had admired for so long, he began to train to become a master falconer and to develop his own raptor education program and sanctuary. Rodney's son Mike, a DC firefighter, has also begun his journey to being a master falconer, with his own kids cheering him along the way.

  Montesquieu - The Spirit of Laws...

  Montesquieu, a French philosopher of the Enlightenment, is best known for his seminal work The Spirit of Laws (De l’esprit des lois), published in 1748. His insights into the relationship between law, society, and government laid the foundations for modern political science and deeply influenced subsequent political thought, particularly in the development of constitutional design and theory. Montesquieu’s work was groundbreaking, challenging prevailing ideas about governance, liberty, and the rule of law, offering a complex framework that would shape political thought for centuries. 
  Born in 1689, Montesquieu came from a noble family and was educated in law. His early career included service as a magistrate, which exposed him to the workings of the legal system and provided firsthand experience with the exercise of power. This practical knowledge informed his later philosophical work, as he sought to understand the connections between law and society, as well as the impact of political structures on individual liberty. 
  In The Spirit of Laws, Montesquieu examined a wide variety of political systems, including republics, monarchies, and despotisms, and their corresponding legal frameworks. His most famous contribution to political thought was his theory of the separation of powers, in which he argued that to prevent tyranny, government power should be divided into distinct branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—each with separate functions and the ability to check the other branches. This framework has become a central tenet of modern democratic systems, including the U.S. Constitution.

  This is small part of introduction of the book: Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to a journey through the remarkable life and enduring legacy of one of the greatest minds in human history Albert Einstein. In the pages that follow, we will explore the life of a man whose name has become synonymous with genius, innovation, and revolutionary scientific thought. From humble beginnings in Ulm, Germany, to his later years as a celebrated figure on the world stage, Albert Einstein's life story is one of curiosity, perseverance, and ground-breaking discovery. Born on March 14, 1879, Einstein's early years hinted at the extraordinary path he was destined to tread. His insatiable thirst for knowledge and his uncanny ability to unravel the mysteries of the universe set him on a course that would forever change the landscape of modern physics. This book is more than a mere collection of dates and events; it is a chronicle of a man's quest to understand the fundamental workings of our universe. As we journey through the chapters that follow, we will witness the emergence of his revolutionary ideas the Special Theory of Relativity, the General Theory of Relativity, and the famous equation E=mc². We will stand alongside him during pivotal moments such as the solar eclipse expedition that confirmed his theories and the Nobel Prize recognition that solidified his place in history.
