  Parliamentary America - The...

  Americans face increasingly stark choices each presidential election and a growing sense that our government can't solve the nation's most urgent challenges.  Our eighteenth-century system is ill-suited to our twenty-first-century world. Information-age technology has undermined our capacity to face common problems together and turned our democracy upside down, with gerrymanders letting representatives choose voters rather than voters choosing them. In Parliamentary America, Maxwell L. Stearns argues that the solution to these complex problems is a parliamentary democracy. 
   
   
   
  Stearns considers such leading alternatives as ranked choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits, showing why these can't solve our constitutional crisis. Instead, three amendments—expanding the House of Representatives, having House party coalitions choose the president, and letting the House end a failing presidency based on no confidence—will produce a robust multiparty democracy. 
   
   
   
  Stearns takes listeners on a world tour—England, France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan, Brazil, and Venezuela—showing what works in government, what doesn't, and how to make the best features our own. Genuine party competition and governing coalitions, commonplace across the globe, may seem like a fantasy in the United States. But we can make them a reality.

  ‘The most life-affirming book ever written about death.’ Sandi Toksvig‘One of the most powerful and helpful books about grief that you will ever read.’ Anita Anand 
  ‘Grief is more than the price of love. It is love. We must learn not just to live with it, but to make it welcome.’ 
  Mother and daughter Anne Mayer Bird and Catherine Mayer were widowed within 41 days of each other on the eve of the pandemic, then locked down alone. Their profound isolation was broken just once a week, when Catherine visited Anne to care for her, at distance and in a mask. Together they found ways to navigate their loss and the startling questions and challenges that confronted them. 
  In this memoir, Catherine also investigates the possibility that her husband, renowned musician Andy Gill, contracted Covid-19 when his band, Gang of Four, toured China in late 2019. Her main focus, however, is not on death, but on life and love. This is a captivating account of lives well lived, moving and spiked with black humour. It is interwoven with letters Anne wrote to her husband John to tell him of the astonishing and heartrending events since his death and her small triumphs in living independently. 
  In sharing their insights and experiences, Catherine and Anne aim to help those who have lost or will lose people or who wish to know how best to support others in such circumstances. They also celebrate love—for John and Andy and each other. 
  ‘We are extraordinarily lucky, my mother and I. We have each other and we have this room. 
  ‘In this living room, we are learning to embrace the things we can’t touch, each other and the lovely dead.’ 
  Catherine Mayer's Good Grief is a top-rated autobiography that explores the psychology of grief and bereavement. It is a profound exploration of relationships, marriage, and family, providing a long-term perspective on dealing with loss. 
  For fans of Angela Levin (Harry), Robert Jobson (Diana), Rachel Clarke (Your Life In My Hands), Richard Coles (The Madness of Grief), and Donna Ashworth (Loss).

  The Search for Reagan - The...

  Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan's life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity. 
   
   
   
  Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered, with a whopping 73 percent approval. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionaires grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.

  The American Scholar

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  In 1837, Ralph Waldo Emerson took the stage at Harvard and delivered what would become one of the most influential speeches in American intellectual history. The American Scholar was not just a lecture—it was a manifesto, a call to arms for a young nation searching for its own cultural identity. Emerson challenged his audience to break free from European intellectual traditions, urging them to think for themselves, to create, and to embrace the vast potential of the American mind.
  This work is more than philosophy; it is an invitation to independence—not just political, but intellectual and spiritual. Emerson paints the scholar not as a passive keeper of knowledge, but as an active force, shaped by nature, books, and action. He argues that true learning is not about memorizing the past, but about engaging with the present and forging the future. His words ignited generations of thinkers, from Henry David Thoreau to Walt Whitman, and continue to inspire anyone who dares to challenge convention.
  The American Scholar is a timeless reminder that education is not about repetition, but about revolution. It is a celebration of the individual mind, the courage to question, and the boundless potential of human thought.

  ADHD and Impulsivity - Managing...

  ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, influencing various aspects of life, including attention, focus, and emotional regulation. One of the most challenging and often misunderstood aspects of ADHD is impulsivity. Impulsivity can manifest in many ways, such as making snap decisions, acting without fully considering the consequences, or responding to emotions before thinking them through. These behaviors, while common for those with ADHD, can lead to difficulties in personal relationships, work environments, and overall life satisfaction. This book seeks to provide strategies and insights for managing impulsivity, particularly in the context of quick decision-making and emotional responses. 
    
  For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
    
  This book explores how impulsivity manifests in everyday situations and how individuals with ADHD can learn to identify these moments of unregulated emotional responses or hasty decisions. It delves into the emotional impact that impulsivity can have, discussing how heightened emotions can both drive impulsive actions and result from them. The goal is to provide tools that allow for greater self-awareness, self-control, and emotional resilience, helping readers to slow down and consider their actions more thoughtfully.
