She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. 
   
  The following recording includes two of Queen (then Princess) Elizabeth' most important speeches: In 1940, Princess Elizabeth was tasked with an important job by Prime Minister Winston Churchill to give a morale-boosting radio speech to her weary subjects during WWII from historic Windsor Castle; and Princess Elizabeth's powerful 21st birthday message delivered on April 21, 1947.

  Survival Food - North Woods...

  In these coming-of-age tales set on the Menominee Indian Reservation of the 1980s and 1990s, Thomas Pecore Weso explores the interrelated nature of meals and memories. As he puts it, “I cannot separate foods from the moments in my life when I first tasted them.” Weso’s stories recall the foods that influenced his youth in northern Wisconsin: subsistence meals from hunted, fished, and gathered sources; the culinary traditions of the German, Polish, and Swedish settler descendants in the area; and the commodity foods distributed by the government—like canned pork, dried beans, and powdered eggs—that made up the bulk of his family’s pantry. His mom called this “survival food.” These stories from the author’s teen and tween years—some serious, some laugh-out-loud funny—will take readers from Catholic schoolyards to Native foot trails to North Woods bowling alleys, while providing Weso’s perspective on the political currents of the era. The book also contains dozens of recipes, from turtle soup and gray squirrel stew to twice-baked cheesy potatoes. This follow-up to Weso’s Good Seeds: A Menominee Indian Food Memoir is a hybrid of modern foodways, Indigenous history, and creative nonfiction from a singular storyteller. “This book is not only about survival food, but about the singular beauty, creativity, and fortitude that comes out of that survival.” —Chef Sean Sherman, author, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen “Survival Food is interesting because it’s one part cookbook, three parts memoir, one part history, and one part multidisciplinary exploration of its setting, northern Wisconsin." —James Norton, The Cookbook Test

  "Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. 
  Emerson focuses on seemingly insignificant details explaining how life is "learning and forgetting and learning again".

  "What is justice—and is it better to be just than unjust?"
  
  This is the question that launches one of the most influential intellectual journeys in history. In The Republic, Plato constructs a "city in speech" (Kallipolis) to examine the nature of the perfect society and the perfect individual. Through a series of rigorous and challenging dialogues, he explores the radical idea of the Philosopher King, the necessity of communal living for the ruling class, and the profound Allegory of the Cave, which suggests that our perception of the world is but a shadow of a higher reality. Whether you are interested in political science, ethics, or metaphysics, The Republic remains the essential manual for understanding the structure of civilization.
  
  
  The Three-Part Soul: Plato argues that both the state and the individual soul are divided into three parts: Reason, Spirit, and Appetite. True justice, he claims, is achieved only when these parts exist in perfect harmony, with Reason (the Philosopher) at the helm.
  
  A Vision of the Ideal State: From the censorship of poetry to the "Noble Lie" used to maintain social order, Plato's vision of the Republic is both inspiring and controversial. He provides a blueprint for an educational system designed to identify and cultivate the most virtuous leaders, ensuring the city is governed by wisdom rather than greed.
  
  Why It Is a Global Foundation: Alfred North Whitehead famously noted that all of Western philosophy is but "a series of footnotes to Plato." The Republic is the origin point for nearly every debate regarding democracy, tyranny, and the role of the individual in society. To read it is to engage with the very DNA of Western civilization.
