Cyrus Thomas, a prominent American archaeologist of the late 19th century, was instrumental in the systematic study of Native American cultures and artifacts. His extensive fieldwork and scholarly inquiry into the symbols and structures of ancient Mesoamerican societies position him as a key figure in the exploration of indigenous histories. Thomas'Äôs passion for uncovering the authentic narratives behind these texts reflects his broader commitment to affirming the value and complexity of Native American heritage. "Notes on Certain Maya and Mexican Manuscripts" is an essential read for anyone interested in ancient cultures, linguistics, or anthropology. Thomas's insights not only contribute to academic discourse but also invite general readers to appreciate the depth of Mesoamerican history, making it an invaluable addition to any library.

    Do you have a Third Place? Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant. In a timely and thoughtful examination, Richard Kyte, PhD, explores the places that nurture our souls and make up the bedrock of our communities. Third Places can range from a neighborhood tavern, to a community center, to a local bookstore or coffee shop. They are the critical gathering spaces where friendships are formed, relationships are nurtured, and the tapestry of community is woven. Yet, for an ever-growing list of reasons, many people today find themselves without a third place of their own. At a time when our nation is facing an epidemic of loneliness, when communities are suffering from loss of trust, low levels of engagement, despair, and political polarization, what if the answer to many of our problems lies in a simple idea? What if we just need to pay attention to the places where we find ourselves?

    Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Finalist
    A former officer grapples with the reality of our broken police culture
    Our society has long been stuck in cultural and ideological battles about police brutality and the police force's broken relationship with our communities. Rethinking the Police promises to start a more hopeful conversation.
    Daniel Reinhardt spent twenty-four years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself.
    In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality. But Reinhardt doesn't stop there: he offers a new model of policing based not in dominance and control but in a culture of servant leadership, with concrete suggestions for procedural justice and community policing.
