  DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
  This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
  'Tired of Winning' by Jonathan Karl examines Donald Trump's resurgence in the Republican Party following his presidency. The book describes Trump's journey from a defeated and disgraced former president to regaining prominence within the party. Karl, with his extensive experience as a reporter and ABC News's chief White House correspondent, offers detailed insights into Trump's post-presidency period at Mar-a-Lago, where he became increasingly extreme and vengeful, causing damage to the GOP's electoral prospects. Despite legal challenges and a divisive presence, Trump re-emerged as a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The book poses a critical question to the Republican Party, paralleling Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech, about whether they are ready to continue their path with Trump as their leader. Karl's unique perspective, rooted in his long history of covering Trump, provides a comprehensive view of the former president's quest for retribution and the potential implications for the GOP.

  First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English‑language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted‑point hunters of the Paleo‑Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi‑Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative. Rejecting then‑common Eurocentric myths, he argues that these civilizations were “wholly original, wholly American,” products of indigenous innovation rather than Old‑World transplantations. Richly illustrated with plates and informed by Baldwin’s correspondence with leading thinkers of his day, this seminal work frames American antiquities within a global archaeological context and remains a cornerstone for understanding the continent’s ancient ingenuity.

  Wild Girls - How the Outdoors...

  Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
   
   
   
  This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.
