  Russia's War on Everybody - And...

  Russia's 2022 attack on Ukraine saw confrontation between Moscow and the West spill over into open conflict once again. But Russia has also been waging a clandestine war against the West for decades. Hostile acts abroad, from poisoning dissidents to shooting down airliners, interfering in elections, spying, hacking, and murdering, have long seemed to be the Kremlin's daily business. But what is it all for? Why does Russia consistently behave like this? And what does it achieve? 
   
   
   
  In this book, Keir Giles explains how and why Russia pushes for more power and influence wherever it can reach, far beyond Ukraine—and what it means not just for governments, but for ordinary people. Bringing together stories from the military, politics, diplomacy, espionage, cyber power, organized crime, and more, Giles describes how Moscow conducts its campaigns across the globe, and how nobody is too unimportant to be caught up in them. By lifting the lid on the daily struggle going on behind the scenes to protect governments, businesses, societies, and people from Russian hostile activity, Russia's War On Everybody shows how Moscow's hostile intentions for the rest of the world are far broader and more ambitious, and the ways it tries to achieve them far more pervasive and damaging, than we realize.

  How to Steal a Presidential...

  From two distinguished experts on election law, an alarming look at how the American presidency could be stolen—by entirely legal means 
   
  Even in the fast and loose world of the Trump White House, the idea that a couple thousand disorganized protestors storming the U.S. Capitol might actually prevent a presidential succession was farfetched. Yet perfectly legal ways of overturning election results actually do exist, and they would allow a political party to install its own candidate in place of the true winner. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig and Matthew Seligman work through every option available for subverting a presumptively legitimate result—from vice-presidential intervention to election decertification and beyond. While many strategies would never pass constitutional muster, Lessig and Seligman explain how some might. They expose correctable weaknesses in the system, including one that could be corrected only by the Supreme Court. 
   
  Any strategy aimed at hacking a presidential election is a threat to democracy. This book is a clarion call to shore up the insecure system for electing the president before American democracy is forever compromised. 
   
  Lawrence Lessig is the Roy L. Furman Professor of Law and Leadership at Harvard Law School. Matthew Seligman is a fellow at the Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School and a partner at Stris & Maher LLP.

  On Liberty

  John Stuart Mill

  On Liberty by John Stuart Mill is a powerful and enduring philosophical essay that explores the nature and boundaries of individual freedom in society. Written in 1859 during a period of political and intellectual upheaval, Mill makes an impassioned case for the sanctity of personal liberty—arguing that individuals should be free to act, think, and express themselves as they choose, so long as they do not harm others. 
  Mill’s central thesis, often referred to as the "harm principle," remains one of the cornerstones of liberal political thought: that the only justification for societal or governmental interference in a person’s life is to prevent harm to others. With remarkable clarity, he examines the relationship between authority and autonomy, tackling issues like free speech, individuality, moral policing, and the role of dissent in democratic society. 
  Narrated with depth and thoughtfulness by Luke Oldham, this audiobook brings to life one of the most influential works in political philosophy—a timeless defense of freedom and a clarion call for the courage to think for oneself.
