Censorship in Schools explores the multifaceted history of intellectual freedom within the American educational system, revealing how restrictions on books and curricula impact students and society. This textbook delves into the consequences of limiting diverse perspectives, hindering critical thinking, and ultimately affecting our democracy.

 
The book highlights intriguing facts, such as the cyclical nature of censorship battles, from the Scopes Trial to contemporary debates over LGBTQ+ literature, and how motivations behind censorship, whether driven by religious beliefs or political ideologies, expose underlying power dynamics. The book's comprehensive approach combines historical analysis with contemporary research.

Major sections address the rise of conservative activism, challenges to literature, and debates about diverse voices. It uniquely draws data from archives of challenged materials, offering firsthand accounts.

    This book presents a groundbreaking philosophy for the AI era, proposing that as AI takes over most jobs, the mission of humanity and the meaning of life will be found in the pursuit of innovation and heritage. 
    Unlike other life forms, humanity's essence lies in its ability to innovate and pass on knowledge, as human civilization thrives on the accumulation of innovations that become its heritage. When contrasted with non-living entities, humanity's essence is evolution-seen as the innovation and heritage of genes. From this perspective, humanity must preserve and amplify its essence by prioritizing innovation, not just as a driver of economic success but as a pathway to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. This is one of the key reasons why humans should lead innovation, even if AI surpasses us in many domains. Another philosophical justification to lead innovation is our inherent ability to define the values and purpose necessary to steer humanity's pursuit of innovation and heritage, ensuring long-term prosperity for all. 
    The book explores innovationism as a philosophy, comparing it to other schools of thought-particularly its perspectives on wealth, happiness and well-being. The book also explores critical global challenges, such as the population crisis and climate change, through the lens of "Innovationism," offering a comprehensive framework for addressing sustainability issues. 
    A national "innovation capacity model" is presented, highlighting the critical roles of large populations and interconnectedness in fostering innovation.

    From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Ghosts of Honolulu comes their most harrowing true story yet. 
    It's 1942, and New York City is at war. German U-boats are sinking ships just miles offshore and Washington DC is convinced that waterfront spies are providing intelligence targeting the ships. To thwart the threat, the Office of Naval Intelligence reaches out to those with the most sway along the waterfronts of Brooklyn and Manhattan – the mob. The result will be one of the most successful and controversial operations in NCIS’ long history (before it was even called NCIS.) 
    The Navy’s alliance with Charles “Lucky” Luciano and his organization will send New Yorker Tony Marsloe and his fellow ONI officers on an international odyssey that includes conducting secret meetings with legendary criminals, hunting clandestine spy rings operating on U.S. soil and conducting daring undercover missions behind the bloody frontlines of the invasion of Italy. 
    Alongside towering historic figures like Meyer Lansky and Gen. George Patton, readers will encounter a kaleidoscope of agents and gangsters who not only shaped the war in Italy but the future of international crime itself.
