Sinopse

"The soul that is within me no man can degrade."

In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass deepens his already powerful life story, moving beyond his escape from slavery to examine the moral, political, and spiritual dimensions of oppression. This second autobiography is not only a record of unimaginable hardship and personal triumph—it's a brilliant critique of the institution of slavery and a call to justice that still resonates today.

Originally published in 1855, this edition features extensive annotations and historical context, offering readers insight into Douglass's growth as an intellectual, activist, and national leader.

A cornerstone of American literature, this book remains essential reading for anyone interested in freedom, dignity, and the struggle for human rights.

"Douglass's words cut through history with clarity and conviction." — The Atlantic
"Required reading for understanding America's past—and its future." — The New York Times

    Ottoman Empire’s Most Important...

    In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire, and thanks to its strategic location, it has been a trading center for years and remains one today under the Turkish name of Istanbul.  
    The end of the Byzantine Empire had a profound effect not only on the Middle East but Europe as well. Constantinople had played a crucial part in the Crusades, and the fall of the Byzantines meant that the Ottomans now shared a border with Europe. Indeed, the Ottomans would clash with Russians, Austrians, Venetians, Polish, and more before collapsing as a result of World War I, when they were part of the Central powers.  
    In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. Preserving its mixed heritage, coming from both its geographic position rising above the ashes of the Byzantine Empire and the tradition inherited from the Muslim Conquests, the Ottoman Empire lasted more than six centuries.

    In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
     
     
     
    Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
     
     
     
    Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?

    In the book Fatal Chemistry, one gets to know the frightful reality of the rise of fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that has changed the face of addiction, broken families, and put the limits of medicine, policy, and even human nature to the test. This book, by its very compelling nature and with the power of the investigative journalists, dives deep into how fentanyl changed from being a breakthrough in medicine to a dangerous drug that is the cause of the drug epidemic in the community worldwide, which is distributed on the streets. 
    Aside from the history of the opiates, the dark side of the web in the illegal trade, Fatal Chemistry uncovers the driving forces behind the epidemic that are concealed. You understand how the stress, trauma, and social life problems of the early years lead to addiction – but also realize how science, empathy, and prevention can be the answer to it. 
    If so, the person is a medical provider, a policymaker, an educator, or simply someone who wants to know the real story behind the news. Fatal Chemistry is full of both learning and optimism – an uncommon mixture of reality, people's experiences, and useful insights. 
    In here, you will find: 
    •	The untold history of opioids and the birth of fentanyl 
    •	How illicit fentanyl entered the global market — and why it's so deadly 
    •	The anatomy of the epidemic and its devastating ripple effects 
    •	Real-world approaches to treatment, recovery, and harm reduction 
    •	The science behind stress, trauma, and addiction 
    •	Proven strategies for overdose prevention and community resilience 
    Fatal Chemistry: Inside the Fentanyl Crisis is more than a piece of writing; it is a realization. Informative, very emotional, and profoundly human, this must-have piece of writing will alter the way in which you view addiction, recovery, and the world surrounding you.

    A Nation Again is the chaotic tale of the Scotland men's team's return to a major tournament after more than 20 years in the wilderness. 
    Ten had come and gone for Scotland since they reached France '98, but the birth of UEFA's Nations League offered a new route to glory. In early 2018, after a long search for Gordon Strachan's replacement, Alex McLeish became manager for a second time. Despite successfully navigating the Nations League group stage, it wasn't plain sailing, and his tenure ended after a shocking defeat at the start of Euro 2020 qualifying. 
    With a play-off semi-final on the horizon, the Scottish FA turned to Steve Clarke, who took on the challenge of inspiring a team rooted in failure, creating a band-of-brothers mentality and figuring out how to organise this incredibly talented group of players. From a couple of the lowest lows, came the highest high. 
    With exclusive memories and audio from those who were part of the journey, such as John McGinn, Stephen O'Donnell, Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and David Marshall, this is the story of how Scotland finally became a nation again.
