  Philosophy, art, literature, music, and politics were all transformed in the turbulent period between the French Revolution of 1789 and the Communist Manifesto of 1848.
  
  This was the age of the 'Romantic revolution', when modern attitudes to political and artistic freedom were born.
  
  When we think of Romanticism, flamboyant figures such as Byron or Shelley instantly spring to mind, but what about Napoleon or Hegel, Turner or Blake, Wagner or Marx?
  
  How was it that Romanticism could give birth to passionate individualism and chauvinistic nationalism at the same time? How did it prefigure the totalitarian movements of the 20th century? 
  
  Duncan Heath and Judy Boreham answer these questions and provide a unique overview of the many interlocking strands of Romanticism, focusing on the leading figures in Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia and America.

  When the US Supreme Court announced its landmark 6-3 decision to take race out of the equation for college and university admissions, it did more than just bring Affirmative Action in higher education to a screeching halt. It also fired a warning shot across the bow of businesses and governmental agencies across America: the days for workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs that violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment have an expiration date. In The Adversity of Diversity,  award-winning political scientist Carol M. Swain and collaborator Mike Towle offer an insightful look at DEI’s inception and evolution into a billion-dollar industry. Swain and Towle explain why DEI’s days are numbered, and how we as a people can move beyond divisiveness toward the unity promised by our nation’s motto, e Pluribus unum, “out of many, one.”

  How you can become better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills
   
  We solve countless problems - big and small - every day. With so much practice, why do we often have trouble making simple decisions - much less arriving at optimal solutions to important questions? Are we doomed to this muddle - or is there a practical way to learn to think more effectively and creatively? In this enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring book, Edward Burger tells us how we can become far better at solving real-world problems by learning creative puzzle-solving skills using simple, effective thinking techniques.
   
  Making Up Your Own Mind teaches these techniques - including how to ask good questions, fail and try again, and change your mind - and then helps you practice them with fun verbal and visual puzzles. The goal is not to quickly solve each challenge but to come up with as many different ways of thinking about it as possible. As you see the puzzles in ever-greater depth, your mind will change, helping you become a more imaginative and creative thinker in daily life. And learning how to be a better thinker pays off in incalculable ways for anyone - including students, businesspeople, professionals, athletes, artists, leaders, and lifelong learners.
   
  A book about changing your mind and creating an even better version of yourself through mental play, Making Up Your Own Mind will delight and reward anyone who wants to learn how to find better solutions to life’s innumerable puzzles.
   
  And the puzzles extend to the thought-provoking format of the book itself. The audiobook is organized by track number, allowing the listener to navigate between puzzles, prompts, and insights. Chapter seven features a special challenge for the listener: It includes a background track of human voices, encouraging active listening skills and deeper engagement.
