  An exhilarating exploration of natality, a much-needed counterpoint to mortality, drawing on the insights of brilliant writers and thinkers. 
   
   
   
  Birth is one of the most fraught and polarized issues of our time, at the center of debates on abortion, gender, work, and medicine. But birth is not solely an issue; it is a fundamental part of the human condition, and, alongside death, the most consequential event in human life. Yet it remains dramatically unexplored. Although we have long intellectual traditions of wrestling with mortality, few have ever heard of natality, the term political theorist Hannah Arendt used to describe birth's active role in our lives. In this ambitious, revelatory book, Jennifer Banks begins with Arendt's definition of natality as the "miracle that saves the world" to develop an expansive framework for birth's philosophical, political, spiritual, and aesthetic significance. 
   
   
   
  Banks focuses on seven renowned western thinkers to reveal a provocative countertradition of birth. She narrates these writers' own experiences alongside the generative ways they contended with natality in their work. Passionately intelligent and wide-ranging, Natality invites listeners to attend to birth as a challenging and life-affirming reminder of our shared humanity and our capacity for creative renewal.

  The Shocking Truth about Media Bias

  The media plays an essential role in shaping public perception, influencing opinions, and determining which issues receive attention. Every day, millions of people rely on news outlets to stay informed, trusting that journalists will present facts objectively. However, the reality is far more complex. Media bias is an undeniable force that affects how stories are reported, which facts are emphasized, and how narratives are framed. This bias can be subtle or overt, intentional or unintentional, but its consequences are profound.  
    
  Throughout history, media bias has been used as a tool for persuasion, propaganda, and agenda-setting. Governments, corporations, and interest groups have long recognized the power of controlling information. Whether through selective reporting, misleading headlines, or emotional language, media outlets can manipulate public sentiment. The question is not whether bias exists, but how it manifests and how it influences society.  
    
  One of the biggest challenges in recognizing bias is its ability to blend seamlessly into seemingly objective reporting. The way a journalist chooses to present a story—what details they include, the sources they cite, and even the language they use—can subtly push readers or viewers toward a particular perspective. Some media organizations openly align with political ideologies, while others claim impartiality but still reflect the interests of their ownership or advertisers. In a time when trust in journalism is declining, it is crucial to understand how bias operates and how to separate fact from opinion.
