  Sample Insights: 
  1) The history books given to children in the United States all started with the heroic adventure of Christopher Columbus. The truth is that the arrival of the Europeans in the Americas 500 years ago was more of an invasion that resulted in slavery and the genocide of indigenous people. 
  2) The quiet acceptance of conquest and murder in the name of progress is only one aspect of a certain approach to history, in which the past is told from the point of view of governments, conquerors, diplomats, and leaders instead of victims.

  Cobalt - Cradle of the Demon...

  The world is desperate for cobalt. It drives the proliferation of digital and clean technologies. But this "demon metal" has a horrific present and a troubled history. 
   
   
   
  The modern search for cobalt has brought investors back to a small town in Northern Canada, a place called Cobalt. Like the demon metal, this town has a dark and turbulent history. 
   
   
   
  The tale of the early-twentieth-century mining rush at Cobalt has been told as a settle's adventure, but Indigenous people had already been trading in metals from the region for two thousand years. And the events that happened here—the theft of Indigenous lands, the exploitation of a multicultural workforce, and the destruction of the natural environment—established a template for resource extraction that has been exported around the world. 
   
    
   
  Charlie Angus reframes the complex and intersectional history of Cobalt within a broader international frame—from the conquistadores to the Western gold rush to the struggles in the Democratic Republic of Congo today. He demonstrates how Cobalt set Canada on its path to become the world's dominant mining superpower.

  Queering the Runes is a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path. The author presents an alternative approach to the runes, one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Based on the author's personal gnosis, as well as deep academic research on runes and Nordic culture, this book is an invitation into the root culture of the runes, both in terms of myth and in terms of lived, real folkloric experience.

Included is the lore associated with each rune, exercises to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the rune (layouts, castings, and galdr), and how to use the runes for divination. Throughout, the author provides journal prompts meant to help the listener channel the energy of specific runes, to get to know their energy, as well as to use the runes to help them move forward in a journey of self-discovery. 
   
   
   
  Queering the Runes seeks to blow open perceptions of the runes. Exploring them as active, living symbols available to all, as well as the inherent connection with ancestral magic that comes with rune work.

  Nick Emler, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Surrey 
  Social organization creates power. The personalities of those who manage this power are fundamental to understanding what goes on in organizations. Robert Hogan brings his unparalleled mastery of personality psychology together with a deep understanding of the ways that evolution has shaped us to explain why and how. Anyone who inhabits an organization—and, one way or another, that is all of us—and wishes to make sense of this experience should read this book. 
  David Funder, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Riverside 
  This book is a witty, wise, succinct, and persuasive account of the importance of personality, leadership, and the central role of organizations in human life. It is full of useful information and advice for managers and for anyone who has ever been managed, which is pretty much everybody. The ratio of wisdom gained to time spent on this little book makes it a great investment. 
  Adrian Furnham, Author and Professor of Psychology, BI Norwegian Business School 
  I have read many and written a few, but none even slightly compares with this one. There are five reasons for this. First, the author is both a (distinguished) academic and a practitioner. Second, he is a very well-read, serious polymath who moves effortlessly between classics, economics, philosophy, and psychology. Third, he courageously takes issue, where he sees fit, with vacuous trends, business gobbledygook, and evidence-free assertions. Fourth, he has the rare and most desirable habit of cutting through the Gordian knot of theories. Fifth, he writes (very) well: the book is a page-turner and also a serious reference work. I would love to have had these skills myself.
