  Are Prisons Obsolete?

  Angela Y. Davis

  With her characteristic brilliance, grace, and radical audacity, Angela Y. Davis has put the case for the latest abolition movement in American life: the abolition of the prison. As she quite correctly notes, American life is replete with abolition movements, and when they were engaged in these struggles, their chances of success seemed almost unthinkable. For generations of Americans, the abolition of slavery was sheerest illusion. Similarly, the entrenched system of racial segregation seemed to last forever, and generations lived in the midst of the practice, with few predicting its passage from custom. The brutal, exploitative (dare one say lucrative?) convict-lease system that succeeded formal slavery reaped millions to southern jurisdictions (and untold miseries for tens of thousands of men, and women). Few predicted its passing from the American penal landscape. Davis expertly argues how social movements transformed these social, political, and cultural institutions, and made such practices untenable. 
   
   
   
  In Are Prisons Obsolete?, Professor Davis seeks to illustrate that the time for the prison is approaching an end. She argues forthrightly for "decarceration," and argues for the transformation of the society as a whole.

  Home Is the Road - Wandering the...

  Diane Glancy

  From the award-winning Native American literary writer Diane Glancy comes a book about travel, belonging, and home. Travel is not merely a means to bring us from one location to another. "My sense of place is in the moving," Glancy writes. For her the road is home—its own satisfying destination. But the road also makes demands on us: asking us to be willing to explore the incomprehensible parts of the landscapes we inhabit and pass through—as well as to, ultimately, let them blur as they go by. This, Glancy says, is home. 
   
   
   
  Glancy teases out the lessons of the road that are never easy to define, grappling with her own: childhood's puzzle pieces of her Cherokee heritage and a fraught but still compelling vision of Christianity. As she clocks an inordinate amount of driving, as she experiments with literary forms, she looks to what the land has held for centuries, before the roads were ever there. 
   
   
   
  This, ultimately, is a book about land, tradition, religion, questions, and the puzzle pieces none of us can put together quite right. It's a book about peripheral vision, conflicting narratives, and a longing for travel.

  For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party helps reframe our political identity away from the “what” of political positions and toward the “how” being centered on Jesus. 
  This paradigm-shifting book complements The After Party Project--a six-part, video-based, highly interactive curriculum that provides churches, small groups, and individuals with an on-the-ground, biblically based approach to a very complex topic. 
  The After Party: Toward Better Christian Politics helps readers who feel despair about political divisiveness:Engage with others across political differencesLearn specific steps to reframe political identity outside of partisan dividesFocus on how we relate to one another as Jesus teaches before moving to the what of political topics 
    
  The After Party is ideal for:Republicans, Democrats, and Independents looking for renewed hope and humility for our nationLocal leaders seeking to counter animosity toward political opponents, susceptibility to lies, and other practices that threaten the common goodCongregations, classes, and small groups watching The After Party video seriesPastors who want to encourage their congregants to trade their partisan mindsets for the mind of Christ 
    
  It's not too late. In today's political environment, faithfulness to a biblical how of political engagement shines as a radical challenge to both the Right and the Left. If you worry about what politics is doing to your community, your family, and your own well-being, The After Party will transform your political imagination. 
  It's time for us to go beyond party politics and--as Christians--believe in the true "party" yet to come. 
  The graphics, exercises, and appendix can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Tired of being the nice guy who gets ignored while women obsess over men who treat them like an afterthought? 
  It's time to stop chasing—and start triggering. 
  The Dangerous Male: A Walking Hormonal Trigger is not a feel-good guide. It's a dark, brutally honest, and laughably real manifesto for men ready to stop begging for love and start mastering biology, psychology, and seduction on a primal level. 
  This book is built for the man who's done playing it safe. 
  It unpacks what really makes women obsessed—from subconscious ovulation cues to emotional tension, from masculine presence to strategic silence. You'll discover how to activate female hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, not by asking for attention—but by becoming the man she can't stop thinking about. 
  Inside, you'll learn:Why emotional detachment makes you irresistibleHow to use eye contact, voice, and posture as weapons of attractionThe science of female desire—and how to flip it in your favorHow to become a man women chase, submit to, and rememberWhy walking away right is more powerful than any pickup line 
  This isn't about manipulation. 
  It's about evolutionary dominance. 
  Women aren't confused—they're wired. 
  It's time you learned the language they actually respond to. 
  If you're ready to become the kind of man women compete for—emotionally, sexually, and psychologically—this book is your blueprint. 
  You don't chase. You attract. 
  You don't ask. You choose. 
  You don't react. You reign.

  The Outward Path - The Wisdom of...

  A practical and eye-opening guide to the Aztec philosophy on how to live. 
   
   
   
  The Outward Path refers to the central insight that our true desire as human beings is not really for "happiness," a fleeting mood. What we really want is a rich and worthwhile life, which we can only achieve by pursuing an outward path of engagement with other people. Wisdom is not a matter of "thinking for oneself," but comes through deliberating well in concert with others. Stoic and Buddhist philosophies will teach you to still your mind to address the outside world; but according to the Aztecs, we should cultivate healthy relationships first and then use those to forge a path forward. This "outward path" offers an alternative to the presumptions of our highly individualistic, competitive Western culture, with its epidemic of loneliness and other social ills. 
   
   
   
  Aztec self-help for the modern world, this is the first book in any modern language to present the core ethical principles of the Aztecs. It provides us with surprising insights about how to address concerns common to everyone, from how to make a good decision or strengthen your willpower, to how to sustain love and survive tragedy. Structured around twelve lessons and seven exercises, it's an ethical workout routine designed to help you become a better person—one more deeply rooted and fulfilled.
