  Part cultural history, part biography, this is the fascinating story of Richard Wagner's life, influences, gift for storytelling, and artistic revolution, culminating in his dramatic journey to write The Ring Cycle. 
   
  The Ring Cycle is one of the most epic and compelling operas of the nineteenth century, created by a composer who was, alongside Dickens, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo, also one of the century's master storytellers. But the story of how Richard Wagner created the work is one full of intrigue and triumphs against unlikely odds—as well as controversy, due to the composer's antisemitic views and popularity with the Nazi party. 
   
  In Wagner and the Creation of the Ring, Michael Downes combines cultural history and biography to recount the colorful, fascinating, and insightful journey behind the creation of The Ring and its mythology. He tells the story of how and why this extraordinary masterpiece came into being, why it takes the form it does, why it fascinates and obsesses so many—and horrifies others—and why it still matters today.

  Broken Power

  Why God Trusted Women With the World’s Turning Point 
  You were taught that power looks like control. 
  That strength looks suspiciously masculine. 
  Broken Power gently—and irrevocably—undoes those assumptions. 
  Written for the woman who loves Christ but feels unseen by His story, this book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: 
  God has always moved power through relationship—not dominance. Through the body—not despite it. Through women—not around them. 
  This is not a book about becoming louder, harder, or more “empowered” in the modern sense. 
  It’s about remembering what you already carry. 
  Through Scripture, theology, history, and the lived wisdom of the female body, Broken Power reframes Christianity’s central mystery: that the greatest shift of power in the universe came not through force—but through trust, yielding, and an open body willing to receive and transform life. 
  You’ll discover:Why Christ’s power looks far more maternal than imperialHow your body mirrors God’s way of creating, redeeming, and healing the worldWhy feminine vulnerability is not a weakness—but Heaven’s chosen technologyAnd how power, once broken open by love, becomes something you host, not something you hold 
  It speaks to the woman who has carried life, carried faith, carried others—and quietly wondered if God sees her strength as central, or merely supportive. 
  After Broken Power, you won’t read Scripture the same. 
  You won’t read yourself the same. 
  And you won’t mistake softness for smallness ever again. 
  This is a book for Christian women who are ready to stop apologizing for the way God designed them—and start trusting that He knew exactly what He was doing.

  Plutarco Elías Calles and the...

  This biography of the Mexican revolutionary examines his rise from soldier to president to his continued influence as Jefe Maximo. Hailing from the border state of Sonora, Plutarco Elías Calles found his calling in the early years of the revolution, quickly rising to national prominence. As president from 1924 to 1928, Calles undertook an ambitious reform program, modernized the financial system, and defended national sovereignty against an interventionist U.S. government. Yet these reforms failed to eradicate underdevelopment, corruption, and social injustice. Moreover, his unyielding campaigns against political enemies and the Catholic Church earned him a reputation as a repressive strongman. After his term as president, Calles continued to exert broad influence as his country's foremost political figure while three weaker presidents succeeded each other in an atmosphere of constant political crisis. He played a significant role in founding a ruling party that reined in power-hungry military leaders and helped workers attain better living conditions. This dynastic party and its successors, including the present-day Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Party of the Institutional Revolution), remained in power until 2000. Through this comprehensive assessment of a quintessential Mexican politician, Buchenau opens an illuminating window into both the Mexican Revolution and contemporary Mexico.

  »We Are All Activists« -...

  Who is meant when people talk about the citizens or the activists? Often, they are implied to mean the most privileged positionalities. Simultaneously, refugees and migrants tend to be seen through their (supposed) legal status. Thus, they are neither practically nor conceptually regarded as activists. The variety of intersecting positionings in migrant rights activism results in complex inequalities and power dynamics within activist groups. Solidarities are continually challenged, negotiated, and built. Lea Rzadtki develops a conceptual view on claims, challenges, and processes that activists experience and deal with. She moves beyond dichotomies and engages in transversal dialogue.
