Empire's Son Empire's Orphan -...

Nile Green

In literary circles of the mid-twentieth century, father and son, Ikbal and Idries Shah, spread seductive accounts of a mystical Middle East. Pitching themselves as the authentic voice of the Muslim world, they penned travelogues and exotic potboilers alongside weighty tomes on Islam and politics. Above all, father and son told Western readers what they wanted to hear: audacious yarns of eastern adventure and harmless Sufi mystics—myths that, as the century wore on and the Taliban seized power, became increasingly detached from reality. 
 
 
 
This book follows the Shahs from their origins in colonial India to literary London, wartime Oxford, and counterculture California via the Levant, the League of Nations, and Latin America. Nile Green unravels the conspiracies and pseudonyms, fantastical pasts and self-aggrandizing anecdotes, high stakes and bold schemes that for nearly a century painted the defining portrait of Afghanistan. Ikbal and Idries convinced poets, spies, orientalists, diplomats, occultists, hippies, and even a prime minister that they held the key to understanding the Islamic world. From George Orwell directing Muslim propaganda to Robert Graves translating a fake manuscript of Omar Khayyam and Doris Lessing supporting jihad, Green tells the fascinating tale of how the book world was beguiled by the dream of an Afghan Shangri-La that never existed.

All About Love - New Visions

Bell Hooks

A New York Times bestseller and enduring classic, All About Love is the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' ""Love Song to the Nation"" trilogy. All About Love reveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering. Here is the truth about love, and inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in our homes, schools, and workplaces. 
“The word ‘love’ is most often defined as a noun, yet we would all love better if we used it as a verb,” writes bell hooks as she comes out fighting and on fire in All About Love. Provocative and intensely personal, renowned scholar, cultural critic and feminist bell hooks offers a proactive new ethic for a society stricken with lovelessness—not the lack of romance, but the lack of care, compassion, and unity. People are divided, she declares, by society’s failure to provide a model for learning to love.  
In this landmark book, bell hooks explores the question “What is love?” Her answers strike at both the mind and heart. Disputing that the ideal love is infused with sex and desire, she provides a new path to love that is sacred, redemptive, and healing for individuals and for a nation. All About Love is a powerful, timely affirmation of just how profoundly love and community can change hearts and minds for the better.

The Fall of Rome - The Birth of...

Harris Ropes

At its height, the Roman Empire stood as one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in history. Spanning continents, from the windswept moors of Britain to the deserts of Egypt, Rome’s reach seemed boundless. The strength of the empire lay not only in its vast military conquests but in the complexity and efficiency of its administrative systems. Roman law, engineering, and political structure provided a level of organization that allowed a diverse collection of peoples and cultures to function under a single imperial banner. The Pax Romana, a period of relative peace lasting over two centuries, demonstrated Rome’s ability to maintain stability across its vast territories. 
Roman culture was a dynamic blend of traditions inherited from earlier civilizations and innovations of its own. Latin served as the unifying language, enabling administration and communication across the empire. The arts flourished, with literature, sculpture, and architecture reaching impressive heights. From the poetry of Virgil and Ovid to the engineering marvels of aqueducts and roads, Roman achievements stood as symbols of sophistication. The grandeur of public spaces like the Colosseum and the Roman Forum reflected the empire’s emphasis on civic life and the power of the state. 
Governance played a key role in the success of Rome. A highly structured bureaucracy allowed the empire to manage its provinces effectively, while a legal system based on Roman law continued to influence Western societies long after the empire’s decline. Though emperors held supreme power, the Senate, magistrates, and various local officials contributed to a layered political system that managed both urban centers and rural territories. Roman citizenship, which could be extended to people across the empire, fostered a sense of unity and shared identity among diverse populations.
