  Andrew Jackson's rise to prominence began in the backwoods of the Carolinas, where he was born in 1767 to Irish immigrant parents. Orphaned at a young age and shaped by the violence of the Revolutionary War, Jackson's early years were filled with hardship and struggle. These formative experiences instilled in him a fierce independence and an unwavering sense of personal honor, traits that would define his character for the rest of his life. Largely self-taught and known for his fiery temper, Jackson developed a reputation for toughness, earning the nickname “Old Hickory” from soldiers who served under him. Despite limited formal education, he pursued a career in law and eventually moved westward to Tennessee, where he would find opportunity and recognition. 
  Jackson's military career was the first major platform that launched him into the national spotlight. During the War of 1812, he was appointed a general in the U.S. Army and quickly demonstrated his capabilities as a leader. His most celebrated moment came at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. Although the battle technically took place after the war had officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, news had not yet reached American forces. Jackson’s troops, composed of militia, freedmen, Native Americans, and even pirates, faced a professional British army. Against the odds, they achieved a decisive victory, inflicting heavy casualties while suffering minimal losses. This triumph turned Jackson into a national hero and a symbol of American resilience and patriotism. The victory solidified his image as a man of action who could defend the country against foreign threats.

  During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
   
   
   
  With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

  Love Sexuality and Matriarchy -...

  "[A] fascinating collection of essays" on the complicated relations between men and women from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Art of Loving (The New York Times Book Review). 
   
   
    
  The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault. Not primarily interested in the existence of anatomical and biological differences between the sexes, Fromm instead analyzes how these differences have been made use of throughout human history. Drawing from Bachofen's Mother Right, Fromm expounds on how matriarchal and patriarchal social structures determine relations between the sexes in essential ways, and how they are shaped by the dominant orientation of the social character at any given time. He posits that the most important question concerning gender relations is which characterological orientation determines human relationships: love or hate, love of life or fascination with force. Thus, it will not be gender conflict that will determine humanity's future but whether we opt for love of life or love of death.

  If you’re a woman with ADHD, those moments often have hidden patterns—and once you understand them, you can start changing them. 
  ADHD can affect every relationship in a woman's life - romantic, family, friends, colleagues, and even the relationship with herself. 
  From communication breakdowns to misunderstandings, from feeling disconnected to struggling with time and priorities, ADHD can show up in ways that strain the bonds we value most. 
  I know this because I've lived it. As a woman with ADHD, I've felt the frustration, guilt, and shame that can arise when symptoms get in the way of connection. But it doesn't have to stay that way. 
  That's why I created ADHD Women & Relationships - a compassionate, practical guide to understanding how ADHD impacts your connections and how to build stronger, healthier, more supportive relationships in every area of your life. 
  Inside, you'll discover how to: 
  *Communicate effectively with partners, family, friends, and colleagues - even when symptoms make it hard. 
  *Set healthy boundaries that protect your energy and strengthen mutual respect. 
  *Manage your time and priorities so you can be more present with the people who matter. 
  *Enhance intimacy and emotional connection in both romantic and platonic relationships. 
  *Build self-awareness and acceptance to release guilt, shame, and stigma. 
  *Navigate parenting with ADHD while fostering positive connections with your children. 
  *Create supportive environments that help you thrive in every relationship. 
  This isn't about becoming someone you're not - it's about embracing your ADHD traits, understanding how they affect your relationships, and using practical strategies to connect with others (and yourself) with more confidence, clarity, and compassion. 
  ✅Start creating the healthy, fulfilling relationships you deserve—ADHD and all.

  This book introduces readers to the genre of comedy, both on the stage and on the screen. It chronicles the history of comedy, starting with Ancient Greece, before summarising key chapters in Anglophone literary history, such as Shakespearean comedy, Restoration comedy, and Theatre of the Absurd. The book features an overview of key comic techniques (including slapstick, puns, and wit), as well as concise summaries of major theoretical debates (including the superiority theory and the Freudian account of laughter). The book works with many examples from the history of Anglophone comedy, including Oscar Wilde, Monty Python, and classic sitcoms. It addresses current research into cringe humour and the controversial topic of diversity in the field of comedy, and it connects classical tropes of comedy (like the fool or the marriage plot) to present-day examples. The book thus serves as an up-to-date study guide for everyone interested in comedy and its various subgenres.
