  For the first time, a collection of testimonials gives voice to the children of lesbian couples. Sixteen of them answer the questions many people ask: does living without a father pose a problem? Do children of gay couples necessarily become gay or lesbian? Do their families share the same values as others?
  The interviewees were aged between eleven and thirty-one. They were conceived either by insemination or during previous relationships. Today, they are students, police officers or producers. They have agreed to confide in us their joys, their worries, their troubles, their hopes and the way “others” look at them.

  The Byzantine Empire existed for over a thousand years, with a history spanning from the division of the Roman Empire in 395 until the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453. It was formed from the previous Eastern Roman Empire, and during its long existence, the Byzantine inhabitants were very proud to call themselves Romans.  
  	However, many things changed during the long lifespan of the Byzantine Empire, starting with its Hellenization in the 6th century. The use of the Latin language diminished and Greek took its place, while the typical Roman culture gave way to a more Hellenistic one. The Hellenization of Byzantium was detrimental to the relationship with the Holy Roman Empire, and the Christian world from that point would be split in two. The subsequent strengthening of the Orthodox Church caused many civil wars and conflicts to arise during the centuries, which shattered and reshaped the territory time after time. By the end of the Byzantine Empire’s existence, the old age had weakened both the state and church, making it an easy target for invading forces.  
  	The most notable invaders were the the Turkish-speaking Seljuks, led through a series of battles by Kutalmishouglu Suleiman, who supported different usurpers against the Byzantine emperor. The expansion of the Seljuks was so successful that when Suleiman died, he had put all of Bithynia under his control as well as several important harbor towns along the shores on the Asian side of Bosphorus. With that accomplishment, he had managed to separate the Byzantines living in Anatolia from their emperor in Constantinople. This immediately weakened the unity of the Byzantine Empire.

  Will we lose our imagination in the age of artificial intelligence? 
  We are living through the most rapid transformation in human history. Artificial Intelligence is redefining intelligence, creativity, and even the boundaries of what it means to be human. But as machines grow smarter, humanity faces a deeper challenge—one that cannot be solved by algorithms or data. 
  In Raising Dreamers, author, researcher, and futurist Wylde Scott offers a bold and urgent thesis: Our survival as a species depends not on our intelligence, but on our imagination. 
  Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, education theory, and decades of creative research, Scott explores the imagination as both a biological function and a societal force—one capable of shaping the future of innovation, purpose, and human connection. Through clear frameworks and compelling storytelling, he reveals how imagination can be intentionally cultivated in children and adults alike to build resilience, adaptability, and meaning in an increasingly automated world. 
  Learn how to:Cultivate imagination to enhance creativity, resilience, and purposeShift education from memorization to imagination to helping children thrive in a future where curiosity and creativity define successUse the power of play, creativity, and empathy to restore meaning and resilience in the digital eraDiscover purpose and the power of human connection to preserve the very essence of the human experience for generations to come 
  Raising Dreamers redefines how we think about learning, intelligence, and the future of humanity. It is a manifesto for parents, educators, and leaders who believe that technology should serve—not replace—the boundless potential of the human mind. 
  To imagine is to be human. To protect imagination is to protect our future.

  Rogue Elephant - How the...

  Rogue Elephant traces the radicalization of the Republican Party over the past fifty years, arguing that its subordination to Donald Trump was not an anomaly, but rather the culmination of processes at work for decades. 
   
   
   
  Providing a new perspective on figures from Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush to the Tea Party and Donald Trump, it shows that the party's lurch to the far right was the product of a volatile mix of a disorganized party structure and a divided and fractious class of American business owners. 
   
   
   
  These forces have propelled ever more reactionary leaders to the front of the party, setting up cycles where the insurgents of one period become the party establishment of the next, and find themselves confronted with a new batch of insurgents even farther to the right. 
   
   
   
  The result is that a party that was once seen as the handmaiden of American business has increasingly found itself in conflict with business groups like the Chamber of Commerce. 
   
   
   
  Considering the implications of these dynamics for American democracy, Heideman warns that there may be no going back to normal for the Republican Party without a much broader transformation of American society.
