Summary

Lost Indigenous Cities unveils the remarkable, often overlooked, urban achievements of pre-Columbian America. Challenging traditional historical narratives, the book explores the sophisticated architectural ingenuity, intricate social structures, and sustainable practices of indigenous societies long before European contact. These cities demonstrate a high level of social organization, technological innovation, and environmental awareness. Discoveries reveal widespread urbanization, sophisticated infrastructure, and intricate social organization, exemplified by monumental architecture and innovative urban planning in places like Cahokia, Caral, and various Mayan centers.

 
The book progresses by first introducing indigenous urbanism and its challenge to traditional perspectives. It then details monumental architecture and urban planning, followed by examinations of social and political structures. Finally, the approach investigates sustainable practices.

 
By centering the narrative on indigenous achievements, Lost Indigenous Cities challenges Eurocentric biases, offering a comparative analysis of urban centers across different regions of the Americas to identify common themes and unique adaptations.

Black Skin White Masks

Frantz Fanon

Few modern voices have had as profound an impact on the black identity and critical race theory as Frantz Fanon, and Black Skin, White Masks  represents some of his most important work. Fanon's masterwork is now available in a new translation that updates its language for a new generation of listeners. 
 
 
 
A major influence on civil rights, anti-colonial, and black consciousness movements around the world, Black Skin, White Masks is the unsurpassed study of the black psyche in a white world. Hailed for its scientific analysis and poetic grace when it was first published in 1952, the book remains a vital force today from one of the most important theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, and racial difference in history.

The Enchiridion

Epictetus

"Some things are up to us, and some things are not up to us."

With this single, revolutionary sentence, Epictetus unlocks the secret to an invincible life. The Enchiridion is a collection of 53 short, punchy lessons designed to strip away the anxiety, anger, and grief that come from trying to control the uncontrollable. As a former slave who rose to become one of Rome's most respected teachers, Epictetus speaks with the authority of someone who truly understands hardship. He teaches that our happiness depends not on what happens to us, but on how we interpret what happens. This book is a tactical manual for the soul, providing the psychological armor needed to navigate a world of uncertainty with dignity and calm.

The Power of Perception: Epictetus famously argues that "men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them." The Enchiridion provides the mental exercises necessary to reframe setbacks—from a broken cup to the loss of a job—as opportunities to practice virtue and maintain your "ruling faculty."

The Disciplines of Desire and Action: The handbook outlines how to align your desires with reality. By training yourself to want only what is within your control, you become immune to disappointment. Epictetus guides the reader toward the role of the "cosmopolitan"—a citizen of the world who acts with social duty while remaining internally detached from the outcome.

Why It Is a Global Masterpiece: The Enchiridion has been the bedside companion of emperors, generals, and modern-day leaders for two millennia. From Marcus Aurelius to Admiral James Stockdale in a POW camp, its "no-excuses" approach to personal responsibility and emotional freedom has saved countless minds from despair. It is the shortest path to a life of tranquility.

Witch Power - Hexing the...

Emma Quilty

When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
 
Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
 
Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
 
But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.
