  The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality.   The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name “Murderville.” As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region’s vicious history.   Includes photos!

  We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary ideologies and movements, combined with an escalating assault on democratic institutions and structures. Nevertheless, most studies of these phenomena remain anchored in a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost entirely limited to the Global North. Yet, authoritarian transformations in the South — and the struggles against them — have not only been just as dramatic as those in the North but also preceded them, and consequently have been studied by Southern scholars for many years. 
  
  This volume brings together the work of more than 15 scholar-activists from across the Global South, combining in-depth studies of regional processes of authoritarian transformation with a global perspective on authoritarian capitalism. 
  
  With a foreword by Verónica Gago.

  "I shall not fight." 
  On a battlefield filled with warriors, one man collapses. 
  Not from weakness—but from overwhelming doubt. 
  In that moment, the Bhagavad Gita begins. 
  In The Complete Bhagavad Gita: All That I Have Learnt, Dr Bhaskar Bora brings this timeless dialogue into a deeply human, personal, and contemporary space. 
  This is not just a translation. 
  It is not just commentary. 
  It is a lived encounter with the Gita. 
  Written with rare honesty and philosophical depth, this book explores: 
  • The inner battlefield of doubt, fear, and decision 
  • The immortal nature of the self beyond life and death 
  • The meaning of duty (dharma) in a complex world 
  • Karma Yoga — how to act without attachment 
  • Equanimity in success and failure 
  • The psychology of despair and transformation 
  • The path from confusion to clarity, from collapse to strength 
  Drawing from classical teachings, modern understanding, and personal experience, this book bridges: 
  Ancient wisdom and modern life 
  Philosophy and lived reality 
  Krishna's voice and the human struggle 
  This is a book for: 
  • Readers of the Bhagavad Gita seeking deeper understanding 
  • Students of Hindu philosophy and Vedanta 
  • Those facing life's difficult decisions and inner conflicts 
  • Anyone searching for meaning, strength, and clarity 
  This book does not give you easy answers. 
  It does something more powerful. 
  It walks with you through your own Kurukshetra. 
  And perhaps, like Arjuna, you will begin to hear a voice within: 
  Rise. Act. Live. 
  Because the Gita is not just a scripture. 
  It is a mirror. 
  And what you see in it may change your life.

  Lions of Medina - The True Story...

  Thursday, October 12, 1967. 
  Marine Lance Corporal Kevin Cahill stepped onto a trail deep in the remote Hai Lang National Forest of South Vietnam. Following Cahill were the 166 Marines of Charlie Company, First Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division. Confident, well armed and ready to fight, their mission was to locate and annihilate any North Vietnamese Army forces they could find. 
  Cahill, a sharp and experienced point man, knew that taking the well-worn and ominous trail was a bad idea, but an order was an order and he led Charlie Company forward. It was a decision that would cost the 19-year-old his life. As he took a step to his left, toward a small knoll, Cahill walked right into the blast of a machine gun and the column of men he led suddenly faced decimating grenade and small- arms fire. 
  Rather than Charlie Company finding the enemy, the NVA, over two thousand men strong, had found Charlie Company. Surrounded, outnumbered, out-gunned, and quickly running out of ammunition, the Marines now faced annihilation and hell on earth under the jungle canopy. 
  Would the men of Charlie Company survive? How could they hope to beat back a vastly superior enemy force set on their complete destruction? Who would ever live to tell the tale of the “Lions of Medina”?
