  The Worst Trickster Story Ever...

  When did the federal government's self-appointed, essentially limitless authority over Native America become constitutional? 
  The story they have chosen to tell is wrong. It is time to tell a better story. Thus begins Keith Richotte's playful, unconventional look at Native American and Supreme Court history. When the Supreme Court first embraced plenary power in the 1880s it did not bother to seek any legal justification for the decision–it was simply rooted in racist ideas about tribal nations. By the twenty-first century, however, the Supreme Court was telling a different story, with opinions crediting the U.S. Constitution as the explicit source of federal plenary power. 
  Just as importantly, why did it change its story? And what does this change mean for Native America, the Supreme Court, and the rule of law? In a unique twist on legal and Native history, Richotte uses the genre of trickster stories to uncover the answers to these questions and offer an alternative understanding. 
  The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told provides an irreverent, entertaining synthesis of Native American legal history across more than 100 years, reflecting on race, power, and sovereignty along the way.

  Essential listening for IIT aspirants, alumni, educators, policymakers, and every Indian family that has ever dared to dream.

  In this landmark work, PanIIT Chairman Prabhat Kumar delivers a sweeping, unflinching account of the IIT ecosystem -- its Cold War origins, the brutal JEE entrance exam, the ?15,000-crore Kota coaching industry, the brain-drain debate, the mental health crisis on campus, and the salary illusions that drive families to financial ruin.

  America’s Disenfranchised - Why...

  Voting is foundational in a democracy, yet over six million American citizens remain stripped of their ability to participate in elections. Once convicted of a felony, people who complete their sentences reenter society, but no longer with the civil rights they once had. They may return to school, secure employment to provide for their families, and become law-abiding, tax-paying citizens―sometimes for decades―and still be denied the voting rights afforded to every other citizen.Desmond Meade, director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and a returning citizen himself, played an instrumental role in the landslide 2018 Amendment 4 victory in Florida, which used the ballot box to restore voting rights to 1.4 million Floridians with a previous felony conviction. Meade argues how, state by state, America can do better. His efforts in Florida present a compelling argument that creating access to democracy for those living on the fringes of society will create a more vibrant and robust democracy for all. He is the winner of the 2021 Brown Democracy Medal for his continuing work to restore voting rights and connect Americans along shared social values.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Chronic insomnia is not fixed by lying in bed longer, chasing perfect sleep hygiene, or hoping tonight will be different. 
   
  This audiobook gives tired listeners a clear 14-night sleep reset built around sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, and the behavioural habits that keep chronic insomnia alive. Instead of vague relaxation advice, it explains how insomnia becomes trained into the bed, the clock, the body, and the nervous system, then shows how to break that pattern night by night. 
   
  You will learn how to rebuild sleep pressure, stop clock-watching, handle 3 a.m. waking, reduce bedtime anxiety, use a consistent wake time, and stop turning the bedroom into a place for racing thoughts and frustration. 
   
  If you feel exhausted during the day but wired at night, this is a direct, practical guide for getting out of the chronic insomnia loop and waking up rested again.

  Demystifying Evil - A Biblical...

  The evil that afflicts our lives often leaves us confused and directionless, wounded and powerless. How should we respond to evil's power to assault us? How can we understand God's work in a world that seems all too often to be permeated with evil?
  Narrating her own wrestling with evil as well as engaging in biblical and philosophical analysis, biblical scholar Ingrid Faro explores the many dimensions to evil. Soberly honest, biblically engaged, and theologically nuanced, Demystifying Evil examines the power of evil to disrupt and fragment our lives and tempt us to collude with it.
  But evil does not have the last word. Faro takes us on a journey into the book of Genesis, the Ancient Near East culture, the cross, and her own story of suffering to engage the undoing of evil.
