  Ever tried reading Kant and felt your brain melt into a puddle of transcendental confusion? You're not alone! "Kant You Not" is the hilarious antidote to philosophical pretension that explains Immanuel Kant's revolutionary ideas without inducing narcolepsy. 
  In this irreverent guide to history's most unnecessarily complicated philosopher, author Sophia Blackwell translates Kantian gibberish into actual human language while mercilessly mocking his impenetrable prose, bizarre personal habits, and occasionally absurd conclusions. 
  You'll discover: 
  Why a man who never left his hometown somehow revolutionized Western philosophy 
  How Kant needed 800 pages to say "we can't know things as they really are" 
  Why he thought lying to axe murderers was morally wrong (seriously) 
  How to fake Kantian knowledge at dinner parties without reading the originals 
  Why we're still talking about this guy 200+ years later (Stockholm syndrome) 
  Perfect for philosophy students suffering through assigned readings, professors who secretly hate teaching Kant, or anyone who enjoys watching brilliant ideas get roasted. "Kant You Not" proves that philosophy can be educational AND entertaining—a concept that would probably make Kant himself deeply uncomfortable. 
  Buy now and transform your philosophical confusion into laughter! No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to question everything, especially sentences that run for more than half a page. 
  Part of the bestselling "Cogito Ergo Nope!" series that makes philosophy accessible without being condescending and funny without sacrificing accuracy.

  We have to stop treating a pneumonia patient with cough syrup! The majority of leadership books focus on treating the symptoms of poor leadership and not the disease itself. In leadership the symptoms may be low employee engagement, bad communication, lack of trust, and micromanagement, but the underlying disease relates to CHARACTER. 
  Our data proves that people want to follow character. 
  Ask yourself, "Would you follow you?"  
  Unlike other books, Becoming a Leader of Character simply and boldly tells us HOW to develop our character instead of just telling us we need to have it. Developing character is not complicated, but it is hard. Growing always requires a little sweat! 
  "You have to DO what you want to BE!" 
  If you want something more than theories, and you want to BE the Leader of Character your business, your family, and your country desperately need, read Becoming a Leader of Character and start doing what Leaders of Character DO. 
  This book lays out a plan for you to become that leader you would want to follow - a Leader of Character.

  Emplaced Resistances in Occupied...

  In this deeply personal study, Hammad illuminates an agenda of place, meaning and resistance in territorial struggles through the telling of a less-heard story of how residents of Bil'in understand their world and their lives in the occupied Palestinian West Bank landscape. Taking a case study of a contested and divided Palestinian village situated in the heart of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and known for its sustained, nonviolent protest against the separation wall that cuts through its lived spaces, Hammad examines how villagers live, experience, interpret, and attempt to resist infringements on their property and person. 
  The study considers the spectrum of ways that people resist in this context, examining not only the overt weekly protests but also the everyday acts and subjectivities of resistance of its residents, young and old. The backdrop of the protracted Palestinian-Israel conflict and Palestinians' struggle over space, place, and history- which continues to play out in the present- makes this book politically relevant and empowering as it brings voices from a secluded contested village the world.

  North-West Rebellion The: The...

  The Métis people, later one of the three recognized aboriginal groups in Canada, were an indigenous group that came from marriages between French traders and native women, but Scotch and English cultures were also heavy influencers among the Métis. The term comes from a Latin word for “to mix” and originally referred to the children of these relationships, but the Métis would grow to become a major intermediary between the white settlers moving across North America and native fur traders, and during the 19th century, the Métis “considered themselves a separate nation, different from other people, including the Indians and the French.” 
  Like other native groups, as settlers began further encroaching on territory they inhabited, tensions boiled. In June 1816, a group of Métis attacked Red River colonists and their acting governor at a point known as Seven Oaks. Cuthbert Grant, a Métis fighter, had carried out several attacks against the Red River Colony and Hudson’s Bay Company’s posts, and this pattern would continue until the whites were driven out of Red River altogether. 
  Of course, that local victory wouldn’t stop the inexorable march of settlement altogether, and over the decades, there would be more fighting, with the most notorious outbreak coming in the 1880s. That resistance movement is widely known today as the North-West Rebellion, and all the factors that had gone into forming Canada as it is recognizable today would be at play.
