  The Prince (Hero Classics)

  Niccolo Machiavelli

  Part of the Hero Classics series 
  “Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.” 
  The Prince is generally labelled as a cynical and overly pragmatic account of gaining and retaining political power. It is a significant deviation from the righteous meditations of Plato and Aristotle, which emphasise the goodness of human nature. Living in a harsh political climate, Machiavelli devised a more practical and true-to-life guide for leaders who cannot possibly be always good and just. For instance, he talks among other things about the importance to inflict pain all at once but distribute the rewards available gradually and in limited amounts. Besides, the idea that ‘the ends justify the means’ had never been featured in literature so prominently and openly before. Far-fetched at first glance, Machiavelli’s insights after some analysis starts making practical sense when every state and society need to maintain one thing – stability. 
  Although not idealistic, the text is undeniably valid as we can easily track the Prince’s features in the best and the worst political leaders of the previous century who are united by the amount of power they were able to exerts – from political heroes such as Churchill and JFK to fascist and communist dictators. In the modern world, The Prince is a viable manual of conduct more than ever with the intense demand for competitiveness not only in the political but equally in business and other spheres. 
  The text is also famous for being written in the vernacular rather than in classical Latin. What might surprise modern readers is that, actually, this peculiarity halted the text’s dissemination across Europe as most translations were still done from Latin. The text nevertheless has reached its audience and become one of the most recognizable and accessible reads on politics and leadership.

  Black women continue to have a complex and convoluted relationship with their hair. 
   
   
   
  From grammar and high schools to corporate boardrooms and military squadrons, Black and Afro Latina natural hair continues to confound, transfix, and enrage members of White American society. Why, in 2022, is this still the case? Why have we not moved beyond that perennial racist emblem? And why are women so disproportionately affected? 
   
   
   
  Why does our hair become most palatable when it capitulates, and has been subjugated, to resemble Caucasian features as closely as possible? Who or what is responsible for the web of supervision and surveillance of our hair? Who in our society gets to author the prevailing constitution of professional appearance? 
   
    
   
  Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened White supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in schools, academia, and corporate America might lead to greater understanding and respect.

  Female Fear Factory -...

  "Patriarchy does not respect national boundaries. It is unabashedly promiscuous in its influences and tethers. Yet, it does use nationalism very productively."
  
  An empty street at night. A crowded bus. A lecture hall. All sites of female fear, instilled in women and those who have been constructed female, from an early age.
  
  Drawing on examples from around the world - from Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa to Saudi Arabia, the Americas and Europe, Gqola traces the construction and machinations of the female fear factory by exposing its lies, myths, and seductions. She shows how seemingly disparate effects, like driving bans, street harassment, and coercive professors, are the product of the ever-turning machinery of the female fear factory, and its use of fear as a tool of patriarchal subjugation and punishment.
  
  Female Fear Factory: Unravelling Patriarchy's Cultures of Violence is a sobering account of patriarchal violence in the world, and a hopeful vision for the work of unapologetic feminist imaginative strategies across the globe.

  This summary book is meant to complement the original. It is not intended to replace the fine book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, #1 bestselling authors. 
  Readers soon find themselves injected into the worldwide war on terror, which started more than two decades ago on September 11, 2001. 
  America went into battle mode as the World Trade Center towers crumbled, the Pentagon burned, and a tiny number of passengers fought frantically to prevent a third jet from carrying out its murderous flight plan. Killing The Killers tells the story of America's long struggle against radicals who plotted and carried out not just the 9/11 atrocities but hundreds of others throughout the globe, finally destroying whole countries in their pursuit for power. 
  Killing The Killers follows the United States' fight against Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Libya, and elsewhere, as well as specific targets of these organizations' most renowned commanders. O'Reilly and Dugard provide an irresistible narrative of our era's most crucial battle with new detail and well-sourced material.
