  Social Climbing Through Sex: The...

  In a world obsessed with appearances, hookups, and hustle culture, Social Climbing Through Sex: The Evolutionary Elevator delivers a brutally honest, darkly humorous, and disturbingly true exposé on how sexual strategy shapes success. Combining evolutionary biology, psychology, gender politics, and historical case studies, this book unpacks the unapologetic truth: sex is not just about pleasure—it's a currency, a ladder, a tool of power. 
  From primal instincts to Instagram thirst traps, from Cleopatra to corporate courtesans, this book traces the ancient and modern tactics of those who ascend society through desire rather than merit. Women who withhold, men who flaunt, and everyone in between—this is not about morality. It's about mechanism. 
  Explore why celibacy is a power move, why desire doesn't equal value, and how modern archetypes like the Cool Girl, the Virgin Strategist, and the Evolved Escort aren't just real—they're thriving. 
  Whether you're a student of human nature or just curious about what lies beneath the glossy surface of dating apps, weddings, and bedroom "empowerment," this book offers a chilling revelation: love may be blind, but sex wears designer sunglasses and always looks up.

  Courting - Tractor Dates Macra...

  'Courting is a wonderfully empathic and inclusive book about love and community and all the different ways people can build a good life.'―Patrick Freyne
  Looking for love – the most human quest of them all – has been transformed in recent years, with new technology removing the need to be in 'the right place at the right time'. Dating has never been more convenient, varied or disposable and we Irish have taken to it with gusto ... and not just in cities.
  Courting: Tractor Dates, Macra Babies and Swiping Right in Rural Ireland tells a variety of honest and touching stories of trying to meet The One in a rural setting, where the ingredients for successful dating – choice, proximity, free time and, for some, alcohol and anonymity – aren't always guaranteed. Liadán Hynes travels from family farms to tiny islands, village pubs to remote communities, to sit down with childhood sweethearts, long-lost loves and singles, ever hopefuls and lonely hearts, as they navigate this quest through tractor dates, Macra, dating apps and more. They candidly describe swiping for love and moving for it, hooking up and settling down, all while inheriting a 24/7 farm job or coming out, returning to the home place or joining the pandemic exodus.
  Revealing the importance of community, diversity and, above all, hope and resilience, Courting is an insightful and unique window into dating in rural Ireland today.

  In Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns, Artem Chapeye reveals his war, intimate and senseless, withholding nothing about his motivations, his nightmares, his new relationship with the world. Here one man, a pacifist turned fighter, a story writer turned soldier considers the reasons for and reactions to war on a very personal level. 
   
   
   
  Chapeye investigates his role in the Ukrainian people's defense against the Russian army and his responsibilities as a father, a writer, a soldier, and a man of conviction. An avowed pacifist until 2022, Chapeye joined the Ukrainian army in the first days of the invasion. He tries to understand the large-scale decision-making that has a defining impact on both individual citizens and society-at-large: many of his fellow soldiers never considered enlisting before finding themselves at war; others fled the country. He wonders what his young children at home are doing and what they're feeling. 
   
   
   
  The book has three parts, offering historical analogies and literary references throughout. Deeply thought-provoking, intelligent, and heartbreaking, this is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ways that war can change everything.

  Symbols of Freedom - Slavery and...

  Matthew J. Clavin

  In the early United States, anthems, flags, holidays, monuments, and memorials were powerful symbols of an American identity that helped unify a divided people. A language of freedom played a similar role in shaping the new nation. Resonating across the country, they encouraged the creation of a republic where the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was universal. 
   
   
   
  For enslaved people and their allies, the language and symbols that served as national touchstones made a mockery of freedom. Yet, as author Matthew J. Clavin reveals, it was these powerful expressions of American nationalism that inspired forceful and even violent resistance to slavery. 
   
   
   
  Symbols of Freedom is the surprising story of how enslaved people and their allies drew inspiration from the language and symbols of American freedom. Mindful and proud that theirs was a nation born in blood, these disparate patriots fought to fulfill the republic's promise by waging war against slavery. 
   
   
   
  In a time when the US flag, the Fourth of July, and historical sites have never been more contested, this book reminds us that symbols are living artifacts whose power is derived from the meaning with which we imbue them.

  Spend 24 hours immersed in the rich and fascinating everyday lives of the Vikings. 
   
   
   
  Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we know now as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history. The Vikings are frequently portrayed as raiders, marauding across medieval Europe and Britain, but the culture and society of the medieval Nordic peoples was so much more diverse, multifaceted and influential than it is often depicted. 
   
   
   
  In 24 Hours in the Viking World, author and Viking expert Kirsten Wolf chronicles an hour in the life of 24 individuals from every corner of Viking society over the course of a single day. From the warrior to the thrall, the shipbuilder to the farmer, the poet to the oracle, each chapter offers a snapshot of the world as it was in medieval Scandinavia, and an insight into how these people lived, loved, worked, fought and died. 
   
   
   
  The latest entry in the bestselling 24 Hours series, 24 Hours in the Viking World presents an absorbing, grounded, and tangible look at what it was really like to be alive during this pivotal era in history.
