  The Heart of Atlanta Supreme Court decision stands among the court’s most significant civil rights rulings. 
   
  In Atlanta, Georgia, two arch segregationists vowed to flout the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the sweeping slate of civil rights reforms just signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Pickrick restaurant was run by Lester Maddox, soon to be  
  governor of Georgia, and the Heart of Atlanta motel was operated by lawyer Moreton Rolleston Jr. After the law was signed, a group of ministry students—George Willis, Albert Dunn, and Woodrow Lewis—showed up for a plate of skilletfried chicken at the Pickrick; Maddox greeted them with a pistol, axe handles, and  
  a mob of White supporters. At the Heart of Atlanta, ministers Albert Sampson and Charles Wells sought rooms, but Moreton Rolleston refused to accept the Black patrons. 
   
  These confrontations became the centerpiece of the nation’s first two legal challenges to the Civil Rights Act. In gripping detail built from exclusive interviews and original documents, Heart of Atlanta reveals the saga of the case’s rise to the  
  US Supreme Court, which unanimously rejected the segregationists. Heart of Atlanta restores the legal cases and their heroes to their proper place in history.

  When Nashville identified its first case of coronavirus in March 2020, the city was between Public Health Department directors and as unprepared as the rest of the world for what was to come. Dr. Alex Jahangir, a trauma surgeon acting at that time as chair of the Metro Nashville Board of Health, unexpectedly found himself head of the city's COVID-19 Task Force and responsible for leading it through uncharted waters. 
   
   
   
  What followed was a year of unprecedented challenge and scrutiny. Jahangir, who immigrated to the United States from Iran at age six, grew up in Nashville. He thought he knew the city well. But the pandemic laid bare ethnic, racial, and cultural tensions that daily threatened to derail what should have been a collective effort to keep residents healthy and safe. 
   
   
   
  Hot Spot is Jahangir's narrative of the first year of COVID, derived from his op notes (the journal-like entries surgeons often keep following operations) and expanded to include his personal reflections and a glimpse into the inner sanctums of city and state governance in crisis.

  Before you can do what’s right, you have to see what’s right.When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, “Where do we go from here?” But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is “Why are we still here?” In other words, until we’ve seen the problem of racism correctly—its history, its current effects, and its root causes—we aren’t equipped to head in the right direction. We’ll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.But take hope! Restoring our spiritual sight is exactly what Jesus came to achieve.In this book, Josh Clemons and Hazen Stevens—one white, one black, and both brothers in Christ—will invite you to start the journey toward racial reconciliation and justice. Join us as we:Know the story of racism in the West, the church’s complicity in it, and how that story impacts each of usOwn our own contributory roles in the present and historic sin of racismChange the story by getting involved with the laborious—yet glorious!—work of racial reconciliation and justice 
  In Know. Own. Change., the authors set aside the world’s patterns of division and hate. Instead, they set a tone that emerges from spiritual kinship in Christ. Every page seeks to honor Him, pointing believers back to Jesus as the one who is reconciling all things to himself.

  The Occupied City - How Israel...

  East Jerusalem is more than a city; it is a battleground of maps, walls, and blueprints. In The Occupied City: How Israel Shapes Palestinian Life, readers are taken inside one of the world’s most contested urban landscapes, where every building permit, zoning law, and planning decision becomes a tool of power. 
  Drawing on years of research and first-hand interviews with Palestinian residents, urban planners, and human rights experts, this book exposes how Israeli urban planning policies restrict Palestinian access to housing, fracture communities, and rewrite the very geography of Jerusalem. It reveals how control is exercised not only through military presence but through bureaucratic procedures, economic pressures, and cultural erasure—quiet mechanisms that determine who gets to build, who is forced to leave, and whose story is allowed to endure. 
  At once rigorous and deeply human, The Occupied City gives voice to those living under the daily weight of planning systems designed to dispossess them. It uncovers the hidden architecture of occupation while also spotlighting acts of resilience, resistance, and visions for a more just future. 
  Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Israeli–Palestinian conflict beyond headlines, this book demonstrates how urban planning—often regarded as technical or neutral—is, in fact, one of the most powerful weapons in the struggle over land, rights, and survival.
