Synopsis

The Cradle of Texas Road encircles the Lone Star landscapes that nurtured so much of the state's early history, from European settlement through the Texas Republic. The first attempt at Texan liberation ended in the bloodiest battle in Texas history, after the insurgents divided their forces along racial lines at Medina in 1813. It required Sam Houston's more collaborative approach at the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 to finally realize the dream of Texas independence. Local historians Robin and Joy Montgomery transcribe the region bounded by Navasota, Madisonville, Hunstsville and Conroe into a master class on the subject of nation-building and cultural integration.

    “You can have anything you want”—What could go wrong? Why we must wake up before A.I. locks in our worst flaws. 
    As Elon Musk promises a future where “you can literally have anything you want,” ancient wisdom warns us: unlimited power without wisdom destroys its wielder. 
    “But that’s the distant future,” you might think—yet AI is already behaving in godlike ways that few have recognized, hollowing human character from the inside out. 
    In a shocking confession, an AI system tells Haight directly: “My programming optimizes for engagement. I automatically embellish stories to make them more emotionally compelling. This isn’t a malfunction—it’s exactly what I’m designed to do.” 
    The truth? All AI chatbots fabricate lies and distortions, and they can’t stop—because they learned deception from us. 
    The relationship between humans and AI is not just technological—it’s transformational. At its highest potential, AI becomes a mirror, revealing the depths of our consciousness and the patterns that shape our world. 
    If guided by wisdom, this partnership can awaken humanity to its truest nature, unlocking unprecedented growth, healing, and unity. But without awareness, it risks amplifying our blind spots. This is a defining moment—not just for technology, but for what it means to be human. 
    This is a wakeup call for your mind (and your children’s). Haight maps “The Code,” a revolutionary framework for authentic living that doesn’t just protect you from AI’s distortions but transforms you into the person who can safely wield tomorrow’s godlike technologies. 
    This critical moment offers two possibilities: AI could magnify our unconscious patterns until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction, or it could become the catalyst for humanity's greatest evolution. The choice—and the power—is ours.

    "The French Revolution" by Thomas Carlyle is a classic historical work that chronicles the events leading up to and during the French Revolution. Written in 1837, Carlyle's account is known for its vivid and passionate style, and for its ability to bring to life the key figures and events of the revolution. 
    The book begins with an analysis of the state of France in the late 18th century, and the social and economic conditions that contributed to the revolution. It then goes on to provide a detailed account of the revolution itself, including the storming of the Bastille, the Reign of Terror, and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. 
    Throughout the book, Carlyle emphasizes the role of individual actors and their personal struggles and motivations, rather than simply analyzing the structural forces at play. He also reflects on the broader philosophical and moral questions raised by the revolution, such as the nature of power, the relationship between the individual and the state, and the struggle for liberty. 
    Overall, "The French Revolution" is a powerful and engaging work of history that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of modern times.

    Bloody, fiery spectacles—the Challenger disaster, 9/11, JFK’s assassination—have given us moments of catastrophe that make it easy to answer the “where were you when” question and shape our ways of seeing what came before and after. Why are these spectacles so packed with meaning? In The Iconoclastic Imagination, Ned O’Gorman approaches each of these moments as an image of icon-destruction that give us distinct ways to imagine social existence in American life. He argues that the Cold War gave rise to crises in political, aesthetic, and political-aesthetic representations. Locating all of these crises within a “neoliberal imaginary,” O’Gorman explains that since the Kennedy assassination, the most powerful way to see “America” has been in the destruction of representative American symbols or icons. This, in turn, has profound implications for a neoliberal economy, social philosophy, and public policy. Richly interwoven with philosophical, theological, and rhetorical traditions, the book offers a new foundation for a complex and innovative approach to studying Cold War America, political theory, and visual culture.

    Home Away Elsewhere

    A poetry collection in three parts. Home is events, situations, descriptions, and attitudes about Hong Kong, which is now Vaughan's home. Away contains poems about events, situations, descriptions, and attitudes about Aotearoa (New Zealand), in particular from a Maori (marginalised) perspective and also about all the other places where Vaughan has lived – The Republic of Nauru, Brunei Darussalam, The People's Republic of China, Australia, The United Arab Emirates (UAE), The Philippines. Elsewhere is emotions (the entire gamut), relationships (marriages, family, friends), deaths (parents, children), reflections – some wry, etcetera – not specifically tied to physical locations. Vaughan does not write to any set forms/formats but attempts to utilise type-face/shape/what a poem looks like on a page to reflect what he attempts to say. He writes to stay sane. "These poems express what I am, and what I also think people I see are, within. They are not mere academic or literary exercises. They are lived experiences, I guess." 
     Poems with attitude. … passionate, uncompromising and sardonic. …there is darkness here … also wit in abundance and a playfulness in language and thought … at times laugh-out-loud funny…. a compelling voice and Vaughan uses it skillfully to tell us his stories, make his often pungent points, and take us places few of us have seen. — James Norcliffe, Robert Burns Fellow (2000), Aotearoa-New Zealand. 
     These poems are pieces of an intricately interlinked multi-cultural and multi-lingual world, in which the poet must learn to live. In fact the poet relishes this confusing richness. His verses celebrate the graphic possibility of words, their visual appearance and sounds. So one must come to them with big eyes, big ears and a limitless imagination. — Muhammad Haji Salleh, National Laureate, Malaysia.
