  Members of Eli Baxter’s generation are the last of the hunting and gathering societies living on Turtle Island. They are also among the last fluent speakers of the Anishinaabay language known as Anishinaabaymowin.
  		 
  Aki-wayn-zih is a story about the land and its spiritual relationship with the Anishinaabayg, from the beginning of their life on Miss-koh-tay-sih Minis (Turtle Island) to the present day. Baxter writes about Anishinaabay life before European contact, his childhood memories of trapping, hunting, and fishing with his family on traditional lands in Treaty 9 territory, and his personal experience surviving the residential school system. Examining how Anishinaabay Kih-kayn-daa-soh-win (knowledge) is an elemental concept embedded in the Anishinaabay language, Aki-wayn-zih explores history, science, math, education, philosophy, law, and spiritual teachings, outlining the cultural significance of language to Anishinaabay identity. Recounting traditional Ojibway legends in their original language, fables in which moral virtues double as survival techniques, and detailed guidelines for expertly trapping or ensnaring animals, Baxter reveals how the residential school system shaped him as an individual, transformed his family, and forever disrupted his reserve community and those like it.
  		 
  Through spiritual teachings, historical accounts, and autobiographical anecdotes, Aki-wayn-zih offers a new form of storytelling from the Anishinaabay point of view.

  We Were Once a Family - A Story...

  One of Literary Hub's most anticipated books of 2023"Narrator Suehyla El-Attar gives an impassioned performance that enhances the touching, terrifying tale of social injustice and systemic failure. Her delivery is compelling and clear, evoking a captivating listening experience from this true-crime tragedy."- Library JournalThe shocking, deeply reported story of a murder-suicide that claimed the lives of six children—and a searing indictment of the American foster care system.On March 26, 2018, rescue workers discovered a crumpled SUV and the bodies of two women and several children at the bottom of a cliff beside the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators soon concluded that the crash was a murder-suicide, but there was more to the story: Jennifer and Sarah Hart, it turned out, were a white married couple who had adopted the six Black children from two different Texas families in 2006 and 2008. Behind the family's loving facade, however, was a pattern of abuse and neglect that went ignored as the couple withdrew the children from school and moved across the country. It soon became apparent that the State of Texas knew very little about the two individuals to whom it had given custody of six children—with fateful consequences.In the manner of Adrian Nicole LeBlanc's Random Family and other classic works of investigative journalism, Roxanna Asgarian’s We Were Once a Family is a revelation of vulnerable lives; it is also a shattering exposé of the foster care and adoption systems that produced this tragedy. As a journalist in Houston, Asgarian became the first reporter to put the children’s birth families at the center of the story. We follow the author as she runs up against the intransigence of a state agency that removes tens of thousands of kids from homes each year in the name of child welfare, while often failing to consider alternatives. Her reporting uncovers persistent racial biases and corruption as children of color are separated from birth parents without proper cause. The result is a riveting narrative and a deeply reported indictment of a system that continues to fail America’s most vulnerable children while upending the lives of their families.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

  In a time of immense persecution and widespread misunderstanding, one man stood fearlessly to defend the truth of the Christian faith. "The First and Second Apologies" by St. Justin Martyr represents one of the most significant and courageous acts of Christian witness from the second century. Written as direct appeals to the Roman Emperor and the Senate, these powerful documents offer an unparalleled glimpse into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual arguments of the early Church. More than just a historical artifact, these apologies are a masterclass in reasoned and articulate faith. Justin Martyr, a brilliant philosopher himself, bridges the gap between Greek philosophy and Christian theology, demonstrating that Christianity is not a dangerous superstition but the fulfillment of humanity's highest intellectual and spiritual aspirations. In this essential text, you will explore: The fundamental beliefs of early Christians, including their understanding of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.A compelling defense of Christian practices, such as baptism and the Eucharist, against false accusations of immorality and atheism.The intellectual and philosophical roots of Christian thought, as Justin Martyr connects the "Logos" of Greek philosophy to the person of Jesus Christ.The unwavering courage of believers who were willing to face martyrdom rather than renounce their faith.

  The Meaning of Truth

  "The Meaning of Truth" by William James is a philosophical exploration of the nature of truth and its role in human life. James argues that truth is not a static, absolute concept, but rather a dynamic and evolving process that is shaped by the experiences and perspectives of individual human beings. He proposes a pragmatic theory of truth, which emphasizes the practical consequences of beliefs and actions rather than their correspondence to an objective reality. Throughout the book, James engages with the ideas of other philosophers, including Plato, Kant, and Hegel, and critiques their views on truth. He also examines the implications of his pragmatic theory for various areas of inquiry, such as religion, science, and morality. James ultimately suggests that the pursuit of truth should be seen as a vital part of human life, as it enables individuals to better understand and navigate the world around them. Read in English, unabridged.
