  (Un)lovable woman 
  Switch When You're Winning 
  Friends with benefits, sex without feelings, non-relationship - with today's understanding of love, the next heartbreak is just around the corner. True to the motto "switch when you're winning", it seems like the goal for the majority is moaning and fucking, preferably without any commitment or feelings. Has the time for love really run out? Are the romantic relationship models long outdated, while only our hearts haven't got the message yet? 
  We object to this notion, and we do so with this guidebook. Even in the 21st century, you can still hope for your happily ever after and real emotions. 
  If you are ready to fully enjoy your single life, experience a new love and celebrate your current situation with a little self-deprecation, then read - and swing when you're winning!

  The Constitution Is My Home -...

  'I may not have been one of the founding mothers of the Constitution, but I am one of its founding daughters. Founding a nation is a continuous process, one without end. This is where I have lived, loved and worked—and that is where home is. The Constitution of India is not just a text ... [It] is where my home lies.' 
   
  ""Rarely do we think of the Constitution as a home. Yet only a few metaphors could capture Indira Jaising's legal journey with such depth and accuracy."" - Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant 
  ""There is a thread connecting all these cases. In each case, people pushed to the margins of society claimed the full protection of the Constitution."" - Justice B.V. Nagarathna, Judge, Supreme Court of India 
  ""The testament of a woman who has spent fifty years defending the house she chose... The feminist chapters are the book's strongest. Jaising moves the reader from formal equality to the harder terrain where formal equality is not enough."" - The Federal 
  ""Not just a memoir, but an intervention-part personal reflection, part constitutional critique at a moment when, as Jaising put it, 'we live in hope, but also in the present moment.'""- The Week 
  ""Jaising was a forerunner in cracking the country's legal glass ceiling... and today is among the country's most recognisable constitutional lawyers.""- The Print 
   
  Few lawyers have shaped India's constitutional landscape as consistently and fearlessly as Indira Jaising. For over five decades, she has led some of the country's most consequential legal battles, compelling the law to reckon with the realities of gender, inequality, state violence and institutional neglect. 
  In The Constitution Is My Home, Jaising looks back upon a life spent on the frontlines of law and activism. In conversation with Ritu Menon, she reflects on the cases and causes that have defined her career: Mary Roy and the fight for equal inheritance; Rupan Deol Bajaj and the pursuit of justice in the face of sexual harassment; Olga Tellis, which recognized the right to livelihood for pavement dwellers; Shayara Bano and the challenge to triple talaq; her long advocacy for the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy; and the Sabarimala case, where she argued for women's right to worship. She also offers sharp observations on the present, marked as it is by rising Hindu nationalism, a judiciary in retreat and a democracy growing brittle by the day. Through it all, she unfailingly returns to the Constitution--as scripture, argument, shelter and home ground. 
  Clear, unsparing and deeply political, The Constitution Is My Home is both a vital record of resistance and a call to hold fast to the republic's founding promises by one of the most inspiring legal minds of the country.

  With humor and honesty, award-winning author Lee Reilly explores the joys and trials of the “ever-single” woman in a world defined by the married. In Women Living Single, she tells the refreshing stories of thirty unmarried women of all ages, struggling alone to live life to its fullest, and succeeding. 
    
  Caitlin never decided to remain unmarried—her singleness just happened when she made choices to pursue her art career. Lindsay broke her engagement to travel and become a teacher. Like countless others, they don’t fit the role their family and friends have defined for them. Instead, they each write their own script building vibrant lives—setting their own goals, creating their own sense of family, and planning their own success. Her own fulfilled single life enables Lee Reilly to write about women’s choices and difficulties with wisdom and sensitivity. 
    
  “Every woman should read this book … Finally someone has written in an honest, balanced way about being a fulfilled single woman in our society.”—Jane Mattes, author of Single Mothers by Choice

  Lincoln vs Davis - The Rival...

  John Vance

  On a spring morning in 1861, two men from the same border-state soil — one raised in a log cabin, the other on a cotton plantation — took command of a nation tearing itself apart. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis had almost nothing in common except the size of the burden now on their shoulders. 
  Lincoln vs Davis tells the Civil War as it was actually fought: not as one story, but as two. Chapter by chapter, this parallel history moves between the White House and the Confederate capitol, tracing how a self-taught rail-splitter and a West Point-trained statesman each tried to hold a country together — one by force of union, the other by force of secession — and how their choices in Washington and Richmond decided the fate of a continent. 
  This is the war told from both head offices at once: the strategy, the politics, the family losses, and the single irreversible spring in 1865 when one man's fight ended in triumph and the other's in flight.
