  "A gripping account of survival and a condemnation of the conditions that marginalize and endanger the unsheltered." —KIRKUS 
  "Superb... Sharp dialogue, incisive observations, and polished prose." —BookLife EDITOR'S PICK 
  Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars -- while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. 
  A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. 
  This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of technologies and peoples that should not be together, but are. It upends stereotypes about children who survive abuse, young sex workers, LGBTQ youth, resilience in the face of immense grief and trauma, and how communities form to overcome some of the deadliest forms of discrimination. It reveals to readers that there was never a case for tech's shine in the first place. 
  Most of all, it is a story of tremendous resilience and how we can remake trauma into an invitation to be part of a larger world.

  The Enlightenment, a period of intellectual and philosophical advancement in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, laid the groundwork for many of the principles that would shape modern democratic societies. Its influence reached far beyond Europe, significantly impacting the American colonies and their path to independence. Understanding the roots of Enlightenment thought requires exploring the major intellectual movements that preceded it, including the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Reformation. 
  At the heart of the Enlightenment was a growing emphasis on reason, individualism, and skepticism toward traditional authority. The Renaissance, which spanned the 14th to the 17th centuries, marked a resurgence in classical learning and a renewed focus on humanism—the belief in the value and agency of human beings. Renaissance thinkers, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, laid the groundwork for later intellectual revolutions by advocating for a more secular view of the world, emphasizing human capability and creativity. This shift from a purely religious worldview to one that incorporated human reason would directly influence Enlightenment thinkers who challenged the authority of both the church and monarchy. 
  The Scientific Revolution, which began in the 16th century with figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, was a key precursor to Enlightenment thought. The scientific discoveries of this era demonstrated the power of reason and observation in understanding the natural world. These discoveries not only transformed scientific inquiry but also encouraged a new way of thinking about society and governance. The methods of empirical observation and logical reasoning that characterized the Scientific Revolution were adopted by Enlightenment philosophers, who sought to apply them to human behavior, politics, and ethics.

  The Weimar Republic - Inflation...

  To summarize everything about this topic, the Weimar Republic was a disaster. Perhaps the setup of the republic wasn’t as much as fault as just the world events that led to the Great Depression, the eventual surrender of Germany to France, Russia, and England in World War I before that, and other significant changes in the economy at the time. 
  The Weimar Republic was a federal constitutional republic that lasted in Germany from 1918 to 1933. The German Reich (Deutsches Reich) was the main name of the state, which was also referred to as the German Republic (Deutsche Republik). The first word associates with the city of Weimar, which hosted the republic's first constituent assembly. The nation was typically described as "Germany" in English; the title "Weimar Republic" didn't become well-known till the 1930s. 
  Do you want to buy a few eggs with thousands of marks? How about a loaf of bread for ten thousand dollars? The inflation in the Weimar Republic led to a severe economic downturn, one that had probably never been there ever before. This led to other problems, which also explained the rise of Nazi Germany somewhat later. 
  If you want to understand all these things, then go ahead and get started.
