Summary

The History of the Crusades in 3 volumes is a historical work by French historian Joseph François Michaud which provides a comprehensive look at the Crusades, including political and military battles in Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported and sometimes directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period, especially the campaigns between 1096 and 1271 in the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering the Holy Land from Islamic rule. Michaud expands the term of Crusades, including in his work the wars against Turks in Europe in 13th, 14th, and 15th century, concluding with his reflections on the state of Europe, on the various classes of society, during and after the crusades.

    Obsession is often mistaken for love. The idea of someone being unable to stop thinking about you, watching your every move, and doing whatever it takes to be close may sound romantic in books and movies, but in reality, it is anything but. Stalking is not about love—it is about control, possession, and a dangerous detachment from reality. This book delves deep into the psychology of obsession, the minds of stalkers, and the devastating impact they have on their victims.  
  
Stalking is not a new phenomenon, nor is it limited to any specific demographic. From rejected lovers to strangers who become fixated on a public figure, stalking takes many forms. Some stalkers believe they are destined to be with their victims, while others seek revenge or dominance. Many operate under elaborate delusions, convinced that their actions are justified. Understanding these obsessive minds requires an exploration of psychology, trauma, and the social factors that contribute to such behavior.  
  
With the rise of technology, stalking has evolved. The internet has made it easier than ever for stalkers to track, harass, and manipulate their victims from a distance. Social media provides a constant stream of personal information, and modern surveillance tools have turned everyday life into an open book for those determined enough to pry. What once required physical proximity can now be achieved with just a few clicks. Digital stalking is no less terrifying than its physical counterpart—it is often the gateway to something even more dangerous.

    "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".

    "Essential reading for lovers of the Great outdoors" —Roger Cox, Scotsman magazine 
 
 
 
Longlisted for the 2022 Highland Book Prize 
 
 
 
In 2019, Jenna Watt took part in the stalking of a hind on the vast Highland estate of Corrour: part of an immersive attempt to understand the ideas that lie behind 'rewilding', and what it means emotionally and physically to participate in Scotland's deer cull. Piece by piece and chapter by chapter she unravels the story of that one day spent hunting the hind, interlaced with her discovery that her ancestors were deer stalkers, game keepers, and ghillies on a Highland estate, who once took part in increasingly controversial land practices like muirburn and species persecution. 
 
 
 
This exploration leads her into the complex and often conflict-ridden world of the rewilding movement. 
 
 
 
In the process, Jenna comes to better understand the meaning of 'wildness', the shifting baselines of 'rewilding', and, in a world beset by climate change and species extinction, how to cope, both as an individual and as a society, with the concept of ecological grief.

    During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families–could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice.
With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.
