  Discover the complex and often turbulent history of the Balkans with this fascinating book.  
  From ancient times to the present day, this book covers the key events and factors that have shaped the region, and provides a nuanced and complex understanding of the ongoing challenges faced by the Balkans today. 
  The book begins with the impact of Ottoman rule on the Balkans, which lasted for nearly 500 years and left a lasting imprint on the region's culture and identity. From the 18th century onward, various Balkan states began to push for independence from the Ottoman Empire, leading to a series of conflicts and wars that eventually resulted in the establishment of independent Balkan states. 
  The book then moves on to explore the role of the Balkans in World War I and II, including the experiences of Serbian soldier and nationalist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked the First World War. The Second World War saw the region caught in the crossfire between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, with devastating consequences for the region's people and economy. 
  With detailed research and engaging writing, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the Balkans and the complex factors that have led to its ongoing conflict and division.

  An illuminating look at the emotional costs of mobility faced by first-generation and low-income college students. 
    
  While college initiates a major transition in all students’ lives, low-income and first-generation students attending elite schools are often entering entirely new worlds. Amid the financial and academic challenges of adapting to college, their emotional lives, too, undergo a transformation. Surrounded by peers from different classes and cultural backgrounds, they are faced with an impossible choice: turn away from their former lives to blend in or stay true to themselves and remain on the outside. 
   
  An ethnography that draws on in-depth interviews with one hundred and fifty first-generation and low-income students across eighteen elite institutions, Polished uncovers the hidden consequences of the promise of social mobility in today’s educational landscape. Sociologist Melissa Osborne reveals how the very support designed to propel first-generation students forward can unexpectedly reshape their identities, often putting them at odds with their peers and families. Without direct institutional support, this emotional journey can lead to alienation, mental health challenges, poor academic outcomes, and difficult choices between upward mobility or maintaining authenticity and community. Whether you’re an educator, advocate, or student, Polished provides a powerful perspective on the uncharted challenges of social mobility and personal identity during college.

  The Parenthood Dilemma -...

  Should we become parents? This timeless question forces us to reckon with who we are and what we love and fear most in ourselves, in our relationships, and in the world as it is now and as it will be. When Gina Rushton admitted she had little time left to make the decision for herself, the magnitude of the choice overwhelmed her. Her search for her own “yes” or “no” only uncovered more questions to be answered. How do we clearly consider creating a new life on a planet facing catastrophic climate change? How do we reassess the gender roles we have been assigned at birth and by society? How do we balance ascending careers with declining fertility? How do we know if we’ve found the right co-parent, or if we want to go it alone, or if we don’t want to do it at all? To seek clarity on these questions, Rushton spoke to doctors, sociologists, economists, and ethicists, as well as parents and childless people of all ages and from around the world. Here, she explores and presents policies, data, and case studies from people who have made this decision—one way or the other—and shows how the process can be revelatory in discovering who we are as individuals. Drawing on the depth of knowledge afforded by her body of work as an award-winning journalist on the abortion beat, Rushton wrote the book that she needed, and we all need, to stop a panicked internal monologue and start a genuine dialogue about what we want from our lives and why.

  The Inextinguishable Symphony -...

  In the spring of 1933, more than 8,000 Jewish musicians, actors, and other artists were expelled from their positions with German orchestras, opera companies, and theater groups. Later that year, the Jüdische Kulturbund, or Jewish Culture Association, was created to allow Jewish artists to perform for Jewish audiences. 
  Here is the riveting and emotional story of Gunther Goldschmidt and Rosemarie Gumpert, two courageous Jewish musicians who struggled to perform under unimaginable circumstances and found themselves falling in love in a country bent on destroying them. A poignant testament to the enduring vitality of music and love even in the harshest times, The Inextinguishable Symphony gives us a compelling look at an important piece of Holocaust history that has heretofore gone largely untold.
