Cold Civil War - Overcoming Polarization Discovering Unity and Healing the Nation

Jim Belcher

Editorial: IVP

Sinopsis

America's political landscape is experiencing dangerous polarization and fragmentation, with the extremes pulling the country apart. Voices on the left and right clash over different worldviews, definitions of America, and what it means to be an American citizen. The levels of incivility and hostility lead some to invoke the language of a cold civil war or even a looming civil war: one that could split the country in two. Is there any way to step back from this dangerous precipice?
Political philosopher Jim Belcher shows that this is not merely a binary opposition between conservativism on the right and liberalism on the left, but also between conflicting visions of order and freedom on both sides. Through his unique quadrant framework, Belcher traces the people and movements in each position, examines their underlying narratives, and articulates their respective contributions and dangers. This quadrant framework not only reveals how polarization divides us but also shows us how to move beyond the right-left stalemate.
At the core of the competing visions are the seeds of a new vital center, a robust and surprising model that has the ability to transcend political tribalism and bring America back together again before it is too late.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Aqueduct Press is pleased to announce the release of Cheek by Jowl, a collection of talks and essays on 
how and why fantasy matters, by Ursula K. Le Guin. In these essays, Le Guin argues passionately that the 
homogenization of our world makes the work of fantasy essential for helping us break through what she calls 
''the reality trap.'' Le Guin writes not only of the pleasures of her own childhood reading, but also about what 
fantasy means for all of us living in the global twenty-first century.

Marie Kondo’s unique approach to tidying changes lives. Both her book, The Life-changing Magic of Tidying, and her Netflix series have caught the attention – and application – of millions. And those millions sing her praises.
How has this petite Japanese woman persuaded so many people to joyfully and eagerly do what parents have been begging their children to do for ages? Why are people posting pictures on Instagram and Facebook of neatly folded shirts and shorts, lined up in drawers like soldiers, awaiting the opportunity to be put to use by their owner? Is there any way that you, too, could implement her system in your own home and life?
Millions of people have learned from the woman The London Times calls “Japan’s preeminent guru of tidiness, a warrior princess in the war on clutter.” You’ll learn why you can’t seem to stay organized no matter what you’ve tried, in which order to tidy your items, and how to tidy them well (including the KonMari folding technique). You’ll come to understand how and why tidying up can revolutionize your entire life and build the ability to discern what brings you joy.

Pigeons - The Fascinating Saga...

Andrew D. Blechman

A "quirky, endlessly entertaining" look at the surprising history of the pigeon (Simon Winchester). 
 
 
  
Domesticated since the dawn of man, pigeons have been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. They have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as "rats with wings." 
 
 
  
To research this lively history of the humble pigeon, the author traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind’s most helpful and steadfast companions. Pigeons captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. The author participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth's Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. In Pigeons, Andrew D. Blechman reveals for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.

The valiant stand of the RAF fighter pilots (known today as “The Few” because of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s famous speech) not only saved England from Hitler but also motivated and inspired the people and leadership of the United States, which sent increasing amounts of weapons and supplies to the United Kingdom.
