  Damn good coffee, cherry pie, and the “big bang of auteur television” ― why Twin Peaks deserves to be a pop culture classic In 1990, avant garde filmmaker David Lynch (Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet) and acclaimed television writer Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) teamed up to create a television show that would redefine what the medium could achieve in a one-hour drama. With Twin Peaks, the duo entranced audiences with the seemingly idyllic town, its quirky characters, and a central mystery ― who killed Laura Palmer? In a town like Twin Peaks, nothing is as it seems, and in Wrapped in Plastic, pop culture writer Andy Burns uncovers and explores the groundbreaking stylistic and storytelling methods that have made the series one of the most influential and enduring shows of the past 25 years.

  Black, Not Historically Black by Joseph L. Jones is a compelling exploration of the historical and contemporary challenges faced by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).  
  Jones, a seasoned political scientist and former HBCU president, delves into the systemic issues of leadership, miseducation, culture, sustainability, respect, and social justice within these institutions. Drawing on his extensive experience and the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois, Jones advocates for a transformative vision he calls the Pan Black College and University (PBCU). 
  This vision emphasizes leadership that fosters justice, a curriculum centered on the Black experience, a healthy organizational culture, financial independence, and a commitment to social justice and Pan-Africanism. Through personal anecdotes, scholarly analysis, and a call to action, Jones challenges readers to rethink and reimagine the future of Black colleges as vital incubators for change in Black communities and beyond.

  History of Marathas EP17 -...

  Ram Shastri Prabhune conducted an enquiry and found Raghunathrao the culprit in addition to another fifty persons of which there was one female servant. 'The law,' he thundered 'was above the individual.'
  The intrepid judge fearlessly argued the point and told Raghunathrao on his face that he was himself found to be the chief culprit and as such deserved the capital punishment. Raghoba asked indirectly whether a person who had committed a crime under unavoidable circumstances and now wanted to repent could seek penance.
  When his point was put forth, Ram Shastri boldly declared, 'Dehant prayaschitta shivay doosra kahi prayaschitta nahin,' meaning 'the only penance was capital punishment or a death sentence.' Never before in the history of India or for that matter in any country a sitting judge had passed a death sentence on the ruling monarch. It was a rare show of judicial independence which we possibly do not see even in today's times. Those present in the court could not believe what they had just heard. There was a hushed silence...

  Dividing Lines - How...

  Our nation's transportation system is crumbling. But as acclaimed scholar and ACLU president Deborah Archer warns in Dividing Lines, before we can think about rebuilding and repairing, we must consider the role race has played in transportation infrastructure, from the early twentieth century and into the present day. 
   
   
   
  As Archer demonstrates, the success of the Civil Rights movement and the fall of Jim Crow in the 1960s did not mean the end of segregation. With state-sanctioned racism no longer legal, officials across the country turned to transportation infrastructure to keep Americans divided. A wealthy white neighborhood could no longer be "protected" by racial covenants and segregated shops, but a multilane road, with no pedestrian crossings, could be built along its border to make it difficult for people from a lower-income community to visit. Highways could not be routed through Black neighborhoods based on the race of their residents, but those neighborhoods' lower property values—a legacy of racial exclusion—could justify their destruction. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a wealth of sources, including interviews with people who now live in the shadow of highways and other major infrastructure projects, Archer presents a sweeping, national account—from Atlanta and Houston to Indianapolis and New York City—of our persistent divisions.

  The Urban Experience - Living...

  The city is humanity's most profound expression of collective living—an intricate tapestry of buildings, spaces, interactions, and institutions that shapes not only how we navigate physical environments but fundamentally influences how we learn, connect, work, and find meaning. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted reality of The Urban Experience, examining how architectural expression, growth patterns, spatial forms, and educational systems converge to create the distinctive character and quality of metropolitan life. From the most intimate scale of building design to the expansive dynamics of regional development, this book illuminates the interconnected dimensions that define how human existence unfolds within urban contexts. 
  The narrative of urban experience transcends descriptive analysis; it encompasses the lived reality of city dwellers navigating environments that simultaneously constrain and liberate, challenge and inspire. By examining the complex interplay between architectural innovation, urban morphology, educational systems, and human perception, this book reveals how cities function as both physical environments and experiential landscapes where collective memory, individual aspiration, and institutional structures intersect. Readers will journey through diverse dimensions of urban life—from the phenomenological impact of architectural space to the evolutionary patterns of urban form and the transformative potential of metropolitan educational systems—discovering how these elements collectively shape opportunities, constraints, and quality of life for billions of urban inhabitants. Through interdisciplinary analysis, theoretical frameworks, and real-world case studies, we provide urban scholars, design professionals, educators, and civic leaders with integrated perspectives on creating cities that not only accommodate human activity but nurture human potential, creativity, learning, and collective well-being.
