  Treaty Justice - The Northwest...

  In 1974, Judge George Boldt issued a ruling that affirmed the fishing rights and tribal sovereignty of Native nations in Washington State. The Boldt Decision transformed Indigenous law and resource management across the United States and beyond. The case also brought about far-reaching societal changes, reinforcing tribal sovereignty and remedying decades of injustice. 
   
   
   
  Eminent legal historian and tribal advocate Charles Wilkinson tells the story of the Boldt Decision against the backdrop of salmon's central place in the cultures and economies of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1960s, Native people reasserted their fishing rights as delineated in nineteenth-century treaties. In response, state officials worked with non-Indian commercial and sport fishing interests to forcefully oppose Native actions. These "fish wars" spurred twenty tribes and the United States government to file suit in federal court. Boldt pointedly waited until Lincoln's birthday to hand down a decision recognizing the tribes' right to half of the state's fish. The case's aftermath led from the Supreme Court's affirmation of Boldt's opinion to collaborative management of the harvest of salmon. 
   
   
   
  Treaty Justice weaves personalities and local detail into the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most important civil rights cases.

  In The Great Upheaval, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt examine higher and postsecondary education to see how it has changed to become what it is today—and how it might be refitted for an uncertain future. 
   
   
   
  Taking a unique historical, cross-industry perspective, Levine and Van Pelt perform a 360-degree survey of American higher education. Combining historical, trend, and comparative analysis of other business sectors, they ask 
   
   
   
  ● how much will colleges and universities change, what will change, and how will these changes occur? 
   
   
   
  ● will institutions of higher learning be able to adapt to the challenges they face, or will they be disrupted by them? 
   
   
   
  ● will the industrial model of higher education be repaired or replaced? 
   
   
   
  ● why is higher education more important than ever? 
   
   
   
  The book is neither an attempt to advocate for a particular future direction nor a warning about that future. Rather, it looks objectively at the contexts in which higher education has operated—and will continue to operate. It also seeks to identify likely developments that will aid those involved in steering higher education forward, as well as the many millions of Americans who have a stake in its future.

  Forget AI. The Most Powerful Business Tool in Asia is Still a Handshake. 
   
  As technology accelerates and markets become more automated, the ability to build authentic human connections has become the most valuable and rarest skill in business. Nowhere is this truer than in Asia, where deals are made between people, not companies. A deep personal connection, grounded in cultural understanding, is what separates a transactional relationship from a transformative, multi-million-dollar partnership. 
   
  The Asia Code is the essential playbook for any professional looking to scale up their game in the world’s most dynamic markets. This is not a theoretical guide; it is a practical, hands-on toolkit for mastering the human element of business in Asia. It provides the cultural intelligence you need to decipher the unwritten rules that govern success across the three critical markets that will define the future of the global economy: 
  - Japan 
  - South Korea 
  -China 
   
   
  Inside, you will learn to: 
  - Decode the Asian Mindset: Go beyond surface-level etiquette to understand the cultural logic that drives decisions in each country. 
  - Master the Art of Connection: Build the trust and rapport that are the foundation of all successful ventures in Asia. 
  - Navigate the Deep Waters: Turn cultural complexity from a barrier into your greatest strategic asset. 
  - Close with Confidence: Learn the unwritten rules of negotiation, communication, and marketing that truly win deals. 
  - In a world that thinks AI will replace us, The Asia Code is a powerful reminder that in Asia, the human factor is, and always will be, the key to outstanding success. This is the one book every professional serious about succeeding in Asia must have in their toolbox.

  Public Safety: A Necessity

  O. T. Osawaru

  A community without public safety will be like the land of Israel in those days when there was no king in Israel—everyone does what seems good to them. They kill at will, rape both men, women, and children at will, steal at will, and whatsoever seems good to them, just like the animal kingdom. 
  I, O. T. Osawaru, the author of this book, observed that our societies are gradually becoming lawless. The police and other public safety departments were defunded while empowering criminals and making them heroes. Hence the need to write this book. And to shift our focus on the consequence of these acts and bring back law and order in our societies to preserve lives and properties. 
  After listening to this book, I pray you will become an advocate for the need for public safety and the funding of every public safety body—furthermore, to encourage every public safety officer for their noble service in our societies.
