  A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
  A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it’s taken us 250 years to build—and they’ll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture. 
  Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can’t agree on what makes America special. We can’t even agree that America is special. We’re coming to the point that we can’t even agree what the word America itself means. “Disintegrationists” say we’re stronger together, but their assault on America’s history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart. 
  Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times’ 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie – beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America’s culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals. 
  Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.  
  This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional “unionist” understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals. 
  How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself—to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don’t recover these shared truths, our future—our union—as a great country is threatened with destruction.

  The Pax Romana - Peace and...

  The Pax Romana, meaning "Roman Peace," was a remarkable period of stability and prosperity that lasted for over two centuries. It began with the rise of Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, following the chaotic years of civil war that had plagued the late Republic. This era saw the establishment of a strong centralized government, economic growth, and the expansion of Rome’s influence across the Mediterranean and beyond. The foundations of this peace were carefully laid through political reforms, military strength, and a redefined vision of Roman leadership. 
  The aftermath of the civil wars that marked the late Republic left Rome in a state of disarray. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE triggered a power struggle, culminating in the final confrontation between Octavian—Caesar’s adopted heir—and Mark Antony. With his victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BCE, Octavian secured his position as the dominant ruler of Rome. In 27 BCE, he formally accepted the title of Augustus from the Senate, marking the beginning of the imperial system. This transition ended the Republic but ushered in an era of stability that would define the next two centuries. 
  Augustus carefully crafted a government that appeared to preserve Republican traditions while consolidating power in his hands. By maintaining the illusion of senatorial authority, he avoided the fate of his great-uncle, Julius Caesar. However, his rule was firmly grounded in the principles of autocracy. He reorganized the military, ensuring its loyalty through direct financial incentives, and established a standing army with permanent stations along the empire’s borders. This professionalization of the military reduced internal conflicts and safeguarded the empire from external threats.

  The Truce is a definitive history of a half-decade of upheaval in the Democratic Party in which a new generation aggressively pursued their progressive ideals while the powerful, centrist establishment adapted to remain in command. Journalists Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen illuminate this story of backroom maneuvering and political strategy with new revelations about pivotal events and exclusive, on-the-record comments from activists, campaign operatives, and members of Congress. 
   
   
   
  The Truce explores the major fault lines that define Democratic politics today and asks big questions about the future of the party. Will economic or social justice hold primacy at the top of the Democratic agenda? Who will lead the major wings of the party after two defining figures, Biden and Sanders, exit the stage? The Truce surveys the major shifts underway, from the rise of the Squad and new Democratic leadership in the House to a complete overhaul of the primary process. By digging into the divide between left and center, Walker and Luppen expose the creeping generational and political tensions that Biden has—for the moment—kept at bay. 
   
   
   
  An engrossing work, and a surprising must-listen, The Truce grapples with the dangers that threaten American democracy and the complicated cast of characters who are trying to save it.

  In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
   
   
   
  At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.
