The Rise of Isis - The Formation...

Fredrich Hazelton

The rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) stands as one of the most significant and alarming phenomena of the 21st century. Emerging from the chaos of regional conflicts and geopolitical missteps, ISIS transformed from a little-known insurgent group into a global threat that captured the world’s attention. At its height, ISIS declared a self-styled caliphate, controlling vast territories across Iraq and Syria, and wielded its influence far beyond the Middle East. Through acts of brutality, strategic propaganda, and a sophisticated recruitment network, the group redefined the face of modern terrorism.  
  
The story of ISIS is not one of sudden emergence but rather a culmination of decades of historical, political, and social factors. Its rise cannot be fully understood without examining the regional instability created by the Iraq War, the Arab Spring uprisings, and the Syrian Civil War. These events set the stage for the group’s ascent, enabling it to exploit power vacuums, sectarian divisions, and state failures. The role of key figures, such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was pivotal in shaping the group’s ideology, operations, and global ambitions.  
  
Equally crucial to understanding ISIS’s impact is its approach to governance and control. The group operated as more than a terrorist organization—it functioned as a quasi-state, establishing administrative systems, levying taxes, and providing services to populations under its rule. Its brutality, however, served as both a tool of fear and a declaration of its unyielding vision, attracting supporters and horrifying opponents. Through propaganda disseminated across digital platforms, ISIS extended its reach to every corner of the globe, inspiring attacks in cities far removed from its territorial base.

Discourses and Enchiridion

Epictetus

For centuries, Stoicism was the unofficial religion of the Roman world.

The stress on endurance, self-restraint, and power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem cold-hearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by Emperor Domitian, who offers the most precise and humane version of Stoic ideals. The Discourses, assembled by his pupil Arrian, catch him in action, publicly setting out his views on ethical dilemmas.

Enchiridion, or Manual, is a distillation of his teachings and an essential manual for those seeking contentment.

Committed to communicating with the broadest possible audience, Epictetus uses humour, imagery conversations and homely comparisons to put his message across. The results are perfect universal justice and calm indifference in the face of pain.

Finding Karen Black - Roots...

Diane Bay

A bittersweet story that begins with the delightful discovery of a famous birth mother. 
Before film star Karen Black became an icon, she gave up a newborn daughter to adoption. While Karen's career led her to Hollywood fame, her daughter Diane grew up near Chicago. For five decades they knew nothing about each other. Then Illinois opened their sealed adoption records, and Diane sent for her original birth certificate. She was amazed to discover that her birth mother was an iconic actress in the '70s and a cult horror star in the '80s and beyond. Karen starred in prominent films such as Easy Rider, The Great Gatsby, Airport 1975, Burnt Offerings and the TV movie Trilogy of Terror.

This remarkable story is a testament to the power of the mother-child bond, the importance of our roots, and the belief that love lasts forever. 
Award-winning Christina Delaine's exceptional narration captures Karen's vivacious spirit and the story's emotional moments with authenticity. 
"This book took me by surprise with emotional timbre, honest emotions, and depth of feeling. Through immersive writing, descriptive narration, and stark imagery, Finding Karen Black expertly weaves a mother-daughter story, unlike anything I've read before." --N. N. Light

To Her Credit - Historic...

Kaitlin Culmo, Emily McDermott

You may think you know the stories behind the world's most well-known, groundbreaking achievements, but To Her Credit is here to make you reevaluate our collective story. This book celebrates the stories of women, from ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been overwritten and accredited to men. 
 
 
 
The pattern of female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily McDermott reclaim the work of these heroines and offer reminders of what we lose when we don't question history as it has been written. 
 
 
 
● We're often told that Cervantes "invented fiction" with the novel Don Quixote in seventeenth-century Europe, but what about Lady Murasaki's The Tale of Genji in eleventh-century Japan? 
 
 
 
● Elvis Presley is considered "The King" and the inventor of rock and roll music. But what about Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was the first to engineer the rock and roll sound, or Big Mama Thornton, for whom the song "Hound Dog" was explicitly written? 
 
 
  
It's time to talk about the thousands of years' worth of art, inventions, innovations, and world-changing achievements made by women that have been ascribed to men.
