  An acclaimed Syrian journalist crafts a vital portrait of October 7, 2023, and its aftermath through the harrowing yet life-affirming accounts of twenty-six Palestinians.Throughout 2024, Samar Yazbek met with hundreds of survivors from Gaza, asking each of them about their experience of October 7, 2023, and what their life has been like since that pivotal date. In Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life—a title adapted from one of the flyers dropped on the residents of Gaza minutes before a bombing—Yazbek captures the raw, chilling accounts of ordinary civilians aged thirteen to sixty-five, who have witnessed what history may remember as one of the most savage military offensives of our time.Their stories reveal a nightmarish dystopia, where each survivor has endured unimaginable loss—homes shattered, loved ones vanished, limbs obliterated—and many have been treated in hospitals ravaged by Israeli attacks. But these survivors remain determined to share their experiences, and cling to the hope that their voices will resonate.More than a record of horrors for posterity, this breathtaking collection testifies to the power of education and writing, which remind us of our common humanity.

  Wild Girls - How the Outdoors...

  Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
   
   
   
  This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.

  Leviathan

  Thomas Hobbes

  Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan is one of the most influential works in political philosophy, offering a foundational exploration of human nature, society, and government. First published in 1651, this seminal text examines the structures that sustain social order and the principles necessary to prevent chaos, making it a cornerstone of modern political thought.
  
  In Leviathan, Hobbes presents a vivid and often stark vision of humanity in its natural state—a world governed by fear, self-interest, and the "war of all against all." From this perspective, he argues that individuals willingly surrender certain freedoms to a sovereign authority in exchange for security, law, and stability. This social contract, Hobbes contends, is the foundation of organized society, ensuring peace and preventing the descent into violence and disorder.
  
  Hobbes' writing spans philosophy, political theory, ethics, and human psychology. He delves into the nature of power, the responsibilities of rulers, and the moral obligations of citizens. With clarity and rigor, Hobbes explores the balance between liberty and authority, the role of religion in governance, and the dynamics that allow societies to function cohesively. His arguments have sparked centuries of debate, influencing thinkers from John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau to modern political theorists.
  
  Leviathan is more than a treatise on governance—it is a profound investigation of human behavior, morality, and the tensions between freedom and security. Hobbes' ideas challenge readers to reflect on the responsibilities inherent in citizenship, the necessity of laws, and the mechanisms that sustain social cohesion.
  
  Essential for students of philosophy, political science, history, and law, Leviathan remains as relevant today as it was in the 17th century. Its insights into human nature, power, and society provide a timeless guide to understanding the complexities of political authority and the structures that underpin civilization.

  Did you know that one of Europe’s greatest queens, the incredible Margaret I, united Denmark, Sweden, and Norway in the Kalmar Union in the mid-1300s?  
  For centuries, Denmark “punched above its weight” and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today. 
  Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.  
  Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more “punch above its weight.” But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth. 
  Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following: Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world’s “happiest” countries?Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age? Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden? Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!) How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today? What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power?What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?
