  Everyone has an opinion on racism. The vast majority of people would vehemently deny that they or those close to them are "racist," yet many of the most common understandings of racism are highly problematic. "If you mean no harm, then it can't be racist." Yes, it can. "There are anti-discrimination laws now, so racism no longer occurs." Incorrect. "Some of my best friends are Black, so I can't be racist." Not true. 
   
   
    
  In this sharp, open-minded, and witty book, sociologist Jennifer Patrice Sims succinctly addresses these problematic perceptions of racism as fallacies. Building on existing academic theories and drawing on her own cross-national research, two decades of teaching, and analyses of contemporary issues, she delves into the most common and insidious fallacies about racism. In revealing them to be rooted in what scholars call an "epistemology of ignorance," she shows how these perceptions justify and uphold white supremacy (inadvertently or otherwise). 
   
   
   
  Accessibly written and full of concrete examples, this book will be of great value to anyone who wants to understand the common misunderstandings about racism that frustrate contemporary politics, classrooms, workplaces, and dinner tables.

  This book explores one of the most deeply personal questions asked by autistic individuals, parents, and caregivers alike: Will autism change as a person grows older? Drawing from real-world professional insight, lived experience, and relationship-based approaches like RDI, this book walks readers through the full arc of an autistic life. From early childhood to adulthood and beyond, each chapter honestly examines what tends to shift over time, what stays constant, and why every autistic person's journey is entirely their own. Rather than offering false promises or fear-based narratives, this book provides grounded, compassionate guidance rooted in the belief that growth is always possible and that quality of life matters at every age.

  ‘100 Quotes by Niccolò Machiavelli, from The Prince’ gives us an insight into the keen intelligence driving one of Italy’s most powerful political animals. ‘The Prince’ proposes the idea that, in order to survive in the political arena, its combatants must be prepared to do absolutely anything to achieve their aims. This book has cherry-picked the most pertinent and incisive quotes from Machiavelli’s greatest work, which is still pertinent today. An ideal book to dip in and out of, ‘100 Quotes by Niccolò Machiavelli, from The Prince’ is the ideal read for those looking to explore the musings of one of the greatest political philosophers of the Italian Renaissance. Born in Florence, Italy, Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 -1527) was a philosopher, diplomat, author, and historian. Schooled in Latin, rhetoric, and grammar, Machiavelli found employment in the Chancery, responsible for the production of governmental documents. Shortly after, he was given the position of Secretary of the Florentine Republic.During his lifetime, Machiavelli wrote 13 political discourses, and eight works of fiction. His most famous book, ‘The Prince,’ is an exploration of the machinations of monarchy and political survival. In it, he espouses the idea that the key to political success is the use of any means possible, scrupulous, or otherwise. This work has given rise to the term, ‘Machiavellian,’ used as a way to describe someone who is cunning and scheming.
