  In 1968, biologist John Calhoun began an experiment at the National Institute of Mental Health in Maryland. Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison. 
  	Calhoun had already undertaken similar experiments. In fact, this would be his 25th attempt at creating a self-sustaining rodent colony. This experiment was known as the Mortality-Inhibiting Environment for Mice, but informally, it was known as mouse heaven or, more commonly, mouse utopia.  
  	The experiment was carefully crafted, and Calhoun’s previous experience was used to design a “perfect” environment for mice. Free from predators, disease, and stress, with unlimited access to water and plentiful food supplies, the mice involved could, in theory, live much longer lives than mice in the wild. Calhoun built the “mouse universe,” added mice, and provided food and water. Then, for almost five years, he simply watched what happened in mouse utopia. 
  	While it may be fair to wonder how a fairly obscure zoological experiment that took place over 50 years ago has any relevance to modern society, since the experiment ended, people have been using the findings of what became known as the Calhoun Mouse Utopia Experiment to make predictions about human behavior and human societies. In the decades since Calhoun finished his work, this experiment has been used to “prove,” among other things, that modern urban society is doomed, that contemporary society will inevitably lead to lethal levels of overpopulation, and even that political creeds such as communism and socialism are unsustainable.

  Central American Shifts explores the dynamic and often volatile economic and political history of the region through the lens of Puerto Rico, El Salvador, and Mexico. This 3-in-1 volume examines the deep impact of colonization, independence, globalization, and internal strife, revealing how each country has faced unique challenges and opportunities in shaping their modern identities. 
  The story of Puerto Rico is one of colonialism, statehood debates, and economic reliance on the U.S., as it struggles to balance autonomy with its political relationship with its larger neighbor. El Salvador's economic and social history highlights the legacies of civil war, neoliberal reforms, and the push for development amid violence and inequality. Mexico's economic history offers a rich narrative of revolution, industrialization, trade agreements, and modern challenges, illustrating how the country has navigated the complex balance of tradition and progress. 
  This book provides a deep dive into the intertwined relationships between politics, markets, and the people of Central America, offering essential context for understanding the region's development, its struggles, and its growth.

  Wall Street Journal Bestseller 
  It was the right thing to do. And someone had to do it. 
  Aziz was more than an interpreter for Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux during Chad's eight deployments to Afghanistan. He was a teammate, brother, and friend. More than once, Aziz saved Chad's life. And then he needed Chad to save his. 
  When President Joe Biden announced in April 2021 that the United States would be making a hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robichaux knew he had to get Aziz and his family out before Taliban forces took over the country. As the rescue team began to go to work, they became aware of thousands more--US citizens, Afghan allies, women, and children--facing persecution. 
  This gripping account of two war heroes and friends puts human hearts and names alongside the headlines of one of the most harrowing moments in our history, giving you a closer look at:The resilience of Afghanistan and its peopleThe twenty-year war that took place under four presidentsA mission accomplished and the work that’s still to be done 
    
  Saving Aziz is more than a story of war and rescue: it's about breaking down prejudice and apathy--and why risking it all is worth it when it comes to loving one another. 
    
  Praise for Saving Aziz: 
  "Saving Aziz is the story of two warriors...brought together by war and a brotherhood forged through years of battling...for the cause of freedom and captures the heroic efforts of those who took action to not only rescue Aziz and his family in the US withdrawal but thousands of others." 
  --Tim Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author, US Army Special Forces, Sniper
