  Humility is often misunderstood as weakness or self-deprecation, but in truth, it is a powerful and essential quality that can transform individuals and their relationships. At its core, humility is the ability to recognize and accept one's limitations while maintaining a genuine respect for others. It involves an understanding that we are all connected and that our worth is not determined by our achievements or status, but by our ability to serve others and contribute to the greater good. 
  True humility begins with self-awareness. It’s about knowing your strengths and weaknesses without letting either define you. Humble individuals don’t boast about their accomplishments or dismiss their abilities. Instead, they are grounded in their reality, understanding that personal growth and development are ongoing processes. Humility isn’t a state of perfection, but an attitude of openness, learning, and growth. 
  In its essence, humility is an antidote to arrogance and pride. It reminds us that no matter how successful or skilled we become, we are never above others. Humility invites us to listen before speaking, to help before expecting help, and to learn from everyone we encounter. It’s about putting the needs of others before our own desires and understanding that true greatness lies not in what we achieve but in how we uplift those around us.

  A full account of the Luzon campaign, from the planning stages to the surrender of the Japanese general Yamashita.
  
  The Luzon campaign of 1945 was the longest island campaign of the Pacific War, lasting from January 1945 to September 1945, and only ended with the surrender of Imperial Japan. It is often overlooked or mentioned in passing by most histories of that war, yet hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese fought in some of the worst conditions imaginable for eight months to clear Luzon of the invaders.
  
  This full account of the Luzon campaign stretches from planning stages to the end of the war and the surrender of over 50,000 Japanese troops under the noted Japanese general Yamashita. The landings at Lingayen Gulf, the Battle for Manila and the recapture of Corregidor are all included, as well as lesser-known battles for the summer capital of Baguio, the battle for Manila's water supply, constant jungle fighting, the raids to rescue Allied POWs, the recapture of Bataan, destruction of the only Japanese armored division to fight in the Pacific, American parachute drops on Corregidor and Aparri, and much more. Individual acts of heroism are highlighted as are the interactions among the senior commanders involved, including General MacArthur, General Krueger (6th Army) and General Eichelberger (8th Army). The book ends with the surrender of Imperial Japan and the end of the Luzon Campaign in September 1945.

  Black Folk - The Roots of the...

  There have been countless books, articles, and televised reports in recent years about the almost mythic "white working class," a tide of commentary that has obscured the labor, and even the very existence, of entire groups of working people, including everyday Black workers. In this brilliant corrective, Black Folk, acclaimed historian Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story. 
   
   
   
  Spanning two hundred years—from one of Kelley's earliest known ancestors, an enslaved blacksmith, to the essential workers of the Covid-19 pandemic—Black Folk highlights the lives of the laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers who established the Black working class as a force in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Taking jobs white people didn't want and confined to segregated neighborhoods, Black workers found community in intimate spaces, from stoops on city streets to the backyards of washerwomen, where multiple generations labored from dawn to dusk, talking and laughing in a space free of white supervision. As millions of Black people left the violence of the American South for the promise of a better life in the North and West, these networks of resistance and joy sustained early arrivals and newcomers alike and laid the groundwork for organizing for better jobs, better pay, and equal rights.
