  The Birth of Anarchism - 1849-1887

  Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail...

  Mankind can rule itself without the force of top-down authority, and freedom is more than just choosing how to meet the needs and demands of capital. Inequality is structural and intentional, not inevitable and necessary.  
  It does not have to be this way. In solidarity, we are better. 
  Think for yourself, and question authority. 
  This is the essence of anarchism, which has a bad name and reputation because it attacks the necessity of centralised power and authority. The media archetype is Tyler Durden, filled with violence and nihilism – yet anarchism is the most positive of political philosophies, one that Jesus and Buddha both preached, stating that empathy and a rejection of authority were key to human flourishing. Neither would disagree with most early anarchists. 
  Proudhon, whose “property is robbery” is perhaps the most well-known anarchist slogan, lays out the conceptual foundation for key anarchist ideas. He argues that usury (charging interest) is a fundamental harm to society, that there is enough for everyone if we simply take other values to be higher than capital gain, that mutualism is inevitable, and that all governments and ideologies make the same mistake, in trying to change society from the top. Positive change must arise from the great masses of humanity, not from their rulers. 
  Bakunin's speeches are about solidarity arising from the masses, and the ground for a global reconfiguration. 
  Louis Lingg was convicted to death with six others, for being one of the ‘Chicago Anarchists’. They were executed to make a political point, based on corrupted evidence and perjury. His statement is one of contempt for the powers that be, and his belief that mankind should be free and should fight until it is. 
  We end with Kropotkin, who firmly believed in decentralized society. He believed that the greatest strength of mankind lies in the masses, not their rulers, and exhorts us to “Act for Yourselves”.

  When life drops out from under you, whether it's a diagnosis, a betrayal, or a crisis you didn't see coming, will your faith hold? Josh Nadeau takes you inside the year his own life nearly ended and the long, disorienting road to make sense of it. Josh invites you to rediscover with him what makes a faith strong enough to hold you beyond certainty, beyond control, and far beyond what makes sense. In the face of death, this is a road map to life. 
  Blending vivid storytelling with his trademark embodied spiritual insight, Nadeau invites you to reconsider what you believe about suffering, control, and what it means to live well. With an insider's honest perspective, he exposes the assumptions many of us build our lives on: that living well can wait, that there's plenty of time to figure out our faith, and that the conviction we need will magically be there when everything starts to fall apart. 
  This book is a collection of practical responses to the worst moments of our lives teaching you how to:trust God when your life stops making senseendure the unexpected without losing your faith or yourselfuncover the assumptions that quietly make your faith fragileanchor your life in something deeper than your circumstancesstart forming a faith now that will hold when everything inevitably falls apart 
    
  You won't find a formula for avoiding pain, but you'll find a way of life rooted in love, a heart shaped by surrender, and a faith practiced in real time in the valley of the shadow. 
  The question isn't if your world will be shaken; it's what will remain when it is.

  There Is No Wall is ultrarunner Allie Bailey’s brutally honest and sometimes shocking account of alcoholism, depression and severe mental breakdowns which almost cost her her life. 
   
  Told with disarming vulnerability, heartbreaking depth of feeling and dark humour, this isn’t a story about how running saved her – she was already running and at the height of her struggles sometimes even winning 100-mile-plus races. But somewhere between the darkest excesses of the music industry and the simple beauty of the ultrarunning scene, Allie found space to listen, learn and put into practice techniques that would go on to save her life and change it for the better. 
   
  There Is No Wall is a story about how doing something you love can lead you to achieve things you never thought possible. Running won’t save you, but it might buy you the time to save yourself.

  All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

  A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
  Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
  Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
  But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.
