Transformation of Rome - From...

Rogan Fish

This bundle traces one of the most pivotal shifts in world history—the evolution of Rome from a democratic republic to a sprawling autocratic empire, and ultimately to its dramatic collapse. The journey begins with the political structures of the early Republic, where consuls, senators, and assemblies worked in a delicate balance of power. Readers will discover how the ideals of civic duty and public service were gradually overshadowed by corruption, ambition, and the thirst for control, setting the stage for inevitable conflict. 
The second part centers on the charismatic and controversial figure of Julius Caesar, whose rise exposed the Republic’s vulnerabilities. His military conquests, political maneuvering, and ultimate assassination marked the end of the old order. Following his death, the book charts the tumultuous path to empire—highlighting the power struggles between Octavian, Antony, and Cleopatra that ended in the birth of the Roman Empire under Augustus. Reforms, propaganda, and centralization of authority created a new Rome—one ruled by emperors, not elected officials. 
In the final section, the focus broadens to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. From the Pax Romana to the chaos of civil wars, barbarian invasions, and economic crises, readers will see how internal instability and external pressure chipped away at the once-unbreakable empire. This segment also explores Rome's lasting legacy in law, architecture, language, and governance. Transformation of Rome offers a sweeping, yet richly detailed narrative of power, collapse, and the enduring impact of one of history’s greatest civilizations.

Fight for the Final Frontier -...

John Jordan Klein

Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the nature of strategic competition in space. Today's most pressing security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends those assumed standards of understanding. 
 
 
  
John Klein provides a solution to reckoning with the many malicious, nefarious, and irresponsible behaviors in the space domain by using the irregular warfare framework. This offers a new paradigm through which one can view and study conflict involving state and non-state actors. A "war" in space will be utterly unlike any that have happened on Earth, though scholars can provide lessons from past conflict to understand the flashpoints in the heavens. 
 
 
  
Fight for the Final Frontier makes the case that irregular warfare in the space domain is shaped by the fundamental nature of all warfare, along with universal principles of strategy and the essential unity of all strategic experience. Klein outlines the new arenas for battle, new areas of conflict and competition, and the necessary concepts for operating in this bold new frontier.

Networks of Trust - The Social...

Anthony Simon Laden

An eye-opening look at how parents’ mistrust of colleges has less to do with what their kids are learning than with whom they come to trust. Higher education is a familiar battlefield in today’s culture wars. The right accuses colleges and universities of indoctrinating conservative students with liberal values; the left, with failing to be sufficiently inclusive. The anxieties expressed on both sides of the political spectrum have much in common, however, and they are triggered not by colleges’ failures but by their successes.So argues philosopher Anthony Simon Laden in Networks of Trust. He highlights how a college education shapes students’ informational trust networks: the complex set of people and institutions they rely on for the information they use to think about and understand the world. While the networks that colleges build for students have great value, learning to inhabit them pulls some students away from their families and communities. If many people distrust institutions of higher education, this is one reason why. Networks of Trust offers a path forward, one that preserves the value while reducing the harms of a college education. It includes concrete suggestions for how colleges and universities can educate students in a manner that inspires and deserves trust: one that bridges rather than deepens our social divides.

«Una autobiografía perturbadora e inolvidable [...] Esta desgarradora historia narra la lucha a la que se enfrentan muchas familias que son separadas en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México». —Publisher's Weekly
«La inquietante y elocuente historia de una guatemalteca en búsqueda de una vida mejor». —Kirkus
«Un libro profundamente conmovedor e importante […] que debería ser leído por todo aquel que se considere estadounidense. Por todo ciudadano del mundo». —John Perkins, autor de Confessions of an Economic Hitman y Touching the Jaguar

Una historia conmovedora sobre dos madres marcadas por la crisis migratoria: una guatemalteca que ha sido separada de sus hijos y la estadounidense que la ayuda a reunirse con su familia.
Cuando Rosayra Pablo Cruz tomó la desgarradora decisión de buscar asilo en Estados Unidos con sus dos hijos, Fernando, de cinco años y Yordy, de quince, sabía que la travesía sería difícil, peligrosa y probablemente mortal. Pero la violencia rampante en Guatemala era insostenible; Rosy sabía que su familia sólo sobreviviría si migraba al norte.
Tras un peligroso viaje que los deja deshidratados, hambrientos y exhaustos, Rosy, Fernando y Yordy logran llegar a Arizona. Pero casi inmediatamente son separados a la fuerza por los oficiales gubernamentales del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional bajo la política «tolerancia cero».
Rosy y Julie Schwietert Collazo, la fundadora de Immigrant Families Together (Familias Inmigrantes Juntas), la organización comunitaria creada para reunir a madres con sus hijos, cuentan su historia y desvelan las crueles condiciones de los centros de detención, la insoportable ansiedad que padeció Rosy al ser separada de sus hijos y cómo la Fe y el amor la ayudaron a sobrellevar sus momentos más oscuros.
Un retrato insólito y cautivante de las consecuencias que las políticas inhumanas infligen sobre los inmigrantes que cruzan la frontera estadounidense y de los lazos inquebrantables de la familia, la Fe y la comunidad.
ROSAYRA PABLO CRUZ es la madre de cuatro hijos. Fue dueña de una pequeña tienda de ropa en Guatemala antes de llegar a Estados Unidos. En la actualidad, vive en Nueva York, es copresidenta de la Asociación de Padres y Maestros de su hijo mayor y miembro activo de su comunidad e iglesia.
JULIE SCHWIETERT COLLAZO es escritora, editora, traductora bilingüe (inglés-español) y exterapeuta de artes creativas. Ha escrito para varios medios y es coautora de un libro sobre el Papa Francisco que ha sido traducido a más de una docena de idiomas. Vive en Nueva York.

Progressive Dystopia - Abolition...

Savannah Shange

San Francisco is the endgame of gentrification, where racialized displacement means that the Black population of the city hovers at just over three percent. The Robeson Justice Academy opened to serve the few remaining low-income neighborhoods of the city, with the mission of offering liberatory, social justice-themed education to youth of color. While it features a progressive curriculum, including Frantz Fanon and Audre Lorde, the majority Latinx school also has the district's highest suspension rates for Black students. In Progressive Dystopia Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the school's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how the school fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or progressive reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.
