Synopsis

In "Sketches from the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice," Edward A. Freeman masterfully intertwines travel writing with historical narrative, offering readers a vivid tapestry of Venetian culture and its surrounding territories. Freeman's literary style is characterized by his eloquent prose and deep introspection, providing a rich exploration of the landscapes, customs, and historical significance of both Venice and its neighboring regions. The book emerges from the Victorian era's fascination with travel and cultural exploration, reflecting the zeitgeist of an age eager to understand the complexities of European identity amid the backdrop of Italy's Renaissance heritage. Edward A. Freeman was not merely a historian but also an ardent traveler, whose passions for history and geography shaped his perspectives on the lands he encountered. His scholarly pursuits and his profound admiration for Italy inspired him to capture the enchanting essence of Venice and its surroundings. Freeman's experiences and observations serve as a lens through which readers can examine the broader historical narratives that define a region renowned for its art, architecture, and multifaceted culture. I highly recommend "Sketches from the Subject and Neighbour Lands of Venice" to enthusiasts of travel literature, history, and Italian culture. Freeman's keen insights and poetic descriptions will transport you to the enchanting canals and vibrant life of Venice, inviting you to ponder the profound connections between place, identity, and memory.

    In 1954, Steve Jones entered the world fragile and premature, quickly labeled “broken” by doctors and dismissed by society. But his parents refused the prevailing wisdom of the time. They chose to keep him home, to raise him with dignity, and to believe in his worth. 
    For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken is the intimate, heartfelt memoir of a brother who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Stuart D. Jones traces Steve’s journey: his battles with exclusion, his breakthroughs in education, his humor and resilience, his friendships and love, and the tragedy that ended his life too soon. 
    By turns satirical, humorous, and deeply moving, this book illuminates both the progress made and the injustices that remain in how we treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 
    Above all, it is a tribute to Steve himself—a man who was never broken, who lived with joy and dignity, and who continues to inspire through the story left behind.

    The Mexican drug war, also known as the Guerra contra el narcotráfico en México, is the Mexican theater of the global war on drugs, a campaign led by the United States federal government. This war has resulted in a protracted, asymmetric low-intensity conflict between the Mexican government and various drug trafficking organizations. The Mexican government’s main objective when it intervened militarily in 2006 was to curb drug-related violence, which had escalated in the preceding years. The government’s stated aim, in collaboration with U.S. officials, was to eliminate the cartels and reduce the demand for drugs trafficking. 
    Violence erupted after the 1989 arrest of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, who was the leader and founder of Mexico’s first major drug cartel, the Guadalajara Cartel. His arrest led to the dissolution of the cartel as high-ranking members splintered off to create their own groups. This fragmentation gave rise to the Sinaloa, Juarez, Tijuana, and Sonora cartels, among others, which began to battle for control over lucrative trafficking routes and territories. This marked a new chapter in the drug war, with the cartels becoming increasingly violent in their efforts to secure dominance. 
    Mexican drug trafficking organizations have been a powerful force for decades, but their power surged significantly in the 1990s after the collapse of the Colombian Cali and Medellín cartels. By 2007, Mexican criminal groups controlled an overwhelming 90% of the cocaine entering the United States. Efforts to arrest cartel leaders, including those in the Tijuana and Gulf cartels, often resulted in even more violence, as smaller gangs competed for control over key drug trade routes into the U.S.

    The New York Times bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests" (Molly Ivins).**Unabridged for the first time with a new introduction**This program is read by the author. Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" (Chicago Tribune), "very funny and very painful" (San Francisco Chronicle), and "in a different league from most political books" (The New York Observer), What's the Matter with Kansas? unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas—a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars. Charting what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment—Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books

    Read by the author. 
    Discover Jesus' goals of togetherness, oneness, and unity in an increasingly divided world. When you learn to confront the areas in your heart that might not love as Jesus loved, you can help build a flourishing, Christ-like culture. 
    Throughout his ministry, Jesus specifically bridged the gap with the ostracized, outcast, and overlooked. He told his followers to do the same. The gospel message is for everyone—and our mission as believers is to make disciples of Jesus, not duplicates of ourselves. This requires us to live and love beyond our preferences, to build relationships with those who are different from us, and to go beyond the boundaries of unspoken rules and invisible lines. It's time to break the strongholds of division that have been passed down from generation to generation. 
    In Love Outside the Lines, Jimmy Rollins willexpand the gospel message of Christ beyond the lines of cultural norms,show us how to follow in Jesus' footsteps by moving away from racial stereotypes and moving toward things that unite us,empower a culture of people willing to be part of the conversation on racial reconciliation,help us embrace the kingdom truth that we are better together than we are divided, andexemplify a life of dynamic diversity at church, work, and home. 
      
    Join Jimmy on a powerful journey to rediscover the discipleship of diversity that leads to unity. Together, we will confront our comfort-zone barriers—both known and unknown—and take a detour to pursue the kind of diverse relationships and honest dialog that build a flourishing Christ culture.
