  In the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented assault on the American people. Having seemingly appeared out of the ether, it has destroyed industry, family values, marriage, family relations, work ethic, morality, education, health care, independent thought, and the very basis of reality itself- language and the definitions of words. Its reach is all encompassing, with no stone left unturned. The American people are lost in a thick, heavy haze, dazed and confused at the completely alien world around them. How did we get to this point? How did nobody see it coming? Who is responsible? 
  “The Gaslighting of America” explores how the elite, the authorities, and the mainstream media have conspired to deceive the American people. Through the use of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique, they have created a false reality that serves their own interests, while undermining the very foundations of American society.

  American Doom Loop - Dispatches...

  Americans lived in a different reality in 1980: Vermont was the only state that let residents carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Twenty-four states now allow this—and numerous other gun laws have fallen by the wayside. When police were accused of wrongdoing, the default answer from society's arbiters was: "The police wouldn't lie." Editors steered clear of stories about rape and sexual violence. The word "homeless" wasn't in common use. The fabric of the middle class had not yet begun fraying. 
   
   
   
  America of the 2020s is living with cultural shapeshifting rooted in the 1980s. American Doom Loop chronicles the first part of that moving picture, then brings the story forward. 
   
   
   
  As a newspaper journalist, Dale Maharidge had a front-row seat to this decade. He was in the Philippines during the last days of Dictator Ferdinand Marcos, witnessing the US lose a critical piece of its empire dating to the Spanish–American War; he embedded with a group that was a precursor to the Oath Keepers; and he investigated police, who kept trying to get him fired. 
   
   
   
  Through it all, Maharidge gained an invaluable view of a complicated decade that offers insight into our society today.

  As China rises to true superpower status, the United States must take immediate action to catch up in AI capabilities—or facefall disastrously behind technologically, economically, and militarily. 
   
   
   
  Over the past decade, China has quietly and methodically moved into a near-leadership position in artificial intelligence technologies on a global scale. Meanwhile, the United States has responded ineffectively, weighed down by politics, bureaucracy, and an absence of clear strategy. 
   
   
   
  In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? 
   
   
   
  When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution. The United States is losing the race for AI dominance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

  Vergil - The Poets Life

  A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid 
   
  The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. 
   
  But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the Aeneid, was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, who published the epic despite Vergil’s dying wish that it be destroyed. 
   
  Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct his life. Through her intimate knowledge of Vergil’s work, she brings to life a poet who was committed to creating something astonishingly new and memorable, even at great personal cost.

  Relationships between black men and women in America are in crisis—it's time to figure out what's gone wrong and start the healing process.The current divorce rates for black couples have quadrupled since 1960 and is now double that of the general population; rates of domestic violence in black marriages are skyrocketing; and nearly half of married black men admit to having been unfaithful. In What's Love Got to Do with It? Donna Franklin, one of the country's leading African American sociologists, speaks out on these painful, complex issues, providing an incisive and riveting analysis of the gender tensions that are the legacy of slavery and its aftermath.Franklin breaks new ground in explaining why black men and women have trouble relating to each other, and examines their profoundly different starting points, which are influenced by generations of racism and injustice. She shows how black women's strength and self-sufficiency can be used to nurture relationships. Likewise, she teaches black men how to support one another and their relationships with women without excluding women, as has happened with the Million Man March.The challenge of mending the rift between black men and women is formidable but can be made easier. Understanding is the first step on the path to healing.
