    The Seven Mountains Mandate -...

    The movement to install a populist strongman in the White House with a game plan for enforcing right-wing policies and catering to evangelical Christians started well before Donald Trump's first candidacy. For decades, a well-funded network of religious and political operatives has been quietly working to dismantle democracy and replace it with Christian theocracy. Their strategy? The seven mountains mandate—a plan to seize control of seven key pillars of American society and reshape the nation: education; government; religion; family; business; media; and entertainment. 
     
    Scholar Matthew Boedy exposes how this movement laid the groundwork for Trump's presidency and is now advancing its agenda under his second administration. Discover what has motivated the key players in this movement, how they've operated, and what is the unprecedented role of millennial "kingmaker" Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and the new face of Christian nationalism and the seven mountains movement. 
     
    With Project 2025 policies in motion, the seven mountains movement is closer than ever to its goal of turning America into a Christian nationalist state. Leaders of this movement have been playing a long game, undermining democracy to establish a theocracy, but it's not too late to halt their progress and reverse the tide.

    A warm-hearted guide to Buddhist practice for those ready to contend with the reality that enlightenment—the realization of non-self—can't be achieved by the self. 
     
     
     
    A well-known spiritual saying goes, "Enlightenment is an accident. But we can make ourselves more accident-prone." As an authentic American Zen takes shape, enlightenment continues to be misunderstood as a project to be completed, a goal to be achieved, or a prize to be awarded. Tim Burkett's new book unhooks enlightenment from the hot air balloon of ego and brings it back down to earth. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on stories of his first teacher, the Zen master Shunryu Suzuki (author of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind), and Burkett's decades of practice and teaching, he reveals how to live in the world with a deep joy that comes from embracing the work and play of this very moment. With the wisdom and humor of a seasoned practitioner familiar with all manner of eccentric fixations and silly dead-ends, he offers views and practices we can use to support the paradoxical process of letting enlightenment happen on its own.

    Plunge headlong into the heart of Toulouse: this audiobook vividly restores, with captivating precision, the epic of a major Midi city—from its Celtic origins to the Roman era, from Visigothic splendor to the dramas of the Albigensian Crusade, and on to municipal affirmation and medieval intellectual growth. Discover a crossroads city shaped by its Garonne River, ramparts, markets, religious orders, and capitouls; a melting pot of arts, law, and faith where troubadours, builders, merchants, and jurists intertwine. Henri Ramet, a magistrate-historian of luminous rigor, weaves a clear, dense, and sensitive fresco: living topography, resurrected monuments, explained institutions, major crises recounted at street level (Taur, Daurade, Saint-Sernin, Château Narbonnais), never sacrificing emotion to knowledge. Narration breathes life and rhythm into this urban chronicle, turning archives and stones into characters. For those who love concrete history, world-cities, and collective destinies, here is a broad, scholarly, and vibrant journey—where one feels the heartbeat of "Palladian" Toulouse, century after century. An instant classic for understanding, seeing, and loving the pink city differently.

    This WWII history chronicles the exploits of an elite German spy unit and offers a rare look into the secret operations of Hitler's military. Directed by the German Army’s intelligence service, the Brandenburgers became legendary for their brutally efficient clandestine operations. Trained to be quick, mobile, and self-reliant and steeped in local customs and languages, they operated behind enemy lines around the world. Across the battlefronts of the Second World War—from Western Europe to Romania, Russia, Egypt, Afghanistan, and beyond—they seized bridges and other strategic targets; engaged in sabotage, espionage, and other daring missions; and often disregarding the rules of war in the process. Although the unit was dissolved in 1944, its tactics influenced special forces around the world both during the war and after.
