  Think today's anti-abortion ideas are rooted in religious prohibitions or arguments about where life begins? Wrong: today's anti-abortion movements is largely financed and planned by far-right extremists. Many of them are avowedly fascist and white supremacist, afraid of a "great replacement" of the world's white population by other races, who are working hard to reshape governments and policies across Europe, North America, and around the world. Much of this far-right organizing and funding network, however, has been overlooked by today's feminist and left movements. 
   
   
   
  As investigative journalist Sian Norris uncovers here, it is through attacking abortion rights that fascist ideas from the dark web, incel chat boards, and fringe organizations comes to enter mainstream debate—and to then shape governmental policy across Europe, from authoritarian regimes like Hungary's to liberal democracies like Britain. As Norris goes undercover at anti-abortion activist meetings, and pieces together the money trail linking American think tanks to far-right fascist groups, she maps out the pipeline by which fascism has become respectable across the Global North by taking away women's reproductive rights and autonomy.

  The story of an uncovered voyage as colorful and momentous as any on record for the Age of Discovery—and of the Black mariner whose stunning accomplishment has been until now lost to history   It began with a secret mission, no expenses spared. Spain, plotting to break Portugal’s monopoly trade with the fabled Orient, set sail from a hidden Mexican port to cross the Pacific—and then, critically, to attempt the never-before-accomplished return, the vuelta. Four ships set out from Navidad, each one carrying a dream team of navigators. The smallest ship, guided by seaman Lope Martín, a mulatto who had risen through the ranks to become one of the most qualified pilots of the era, soon pulled far ahead and became mysteriously lost from the fleet. It was the beginning of a voyage of epic scope, featuring mutiny, murderous encounters with Pacific islanders, astonishing physical hardships—and at last a triumphant return to the New World. But the pilot of the fleet’s flagship, the Augustine friar mariner Andrés de Urdaneta, later caught up with Martín to achieve the vuelta as well. It was he who now basked in glory, while Lope Martín was secretly sentenced to be hanged by the Spanish crown as repayment for his services. Acclaimed historian Andrés Reséndez, through brilliant scholarship and riveting storytelling—including an astonishing outcome for the resilient Lope Martín--sets the record straight.

  Anxiety - A Philosophical Guide

  Samir Chopra

  Today, anxiety is usually thought of as a pathology, the most diagnosed and medicated of all psychological disorders. But anxiety isn't always or only a medical condition. Indeed, many philosophers argue that anxiety is a normal, even essential, part of being human, and that coming to terms with this fact is potentially transformative. In Anxiety, Samir Chopra explores valuable insights about anxiety offered by ancient and modern philosophies. Blending memoir and philosophy, he also tells how serious anxiety has affected his own life—and how philosophy has helped him cope with it. 
   
   
   
  Chopra shows that many philosophers have viewed anxiety as an inevitable human response to existence: to be is to be anxious. Drawing on Karl Marx and Herbert Marcuse, Chopra examines how poverty and other material conditions can make anxiety worse, but he emphasizes that not even the rich can escape it. Nor can the medicated. Inseparable from the human condition, anxiety is indispensable for grasping it. Philosophy may not be able to cure anxiety but, by leading us to greater self-knowledge and self-acceptance, it may be able to make us less anxious about being anxious. 
   
   
   
  Personal, poignant, and hopeful, Anxiety is a book for anyone who is curious about rethinking anxiety and learning why it might be a source not only of suffering but of insight.

  Back to Me - The Global Art of...

  Back to Me: The Global Art of Talking Without Listening is a sharp, funny, and globally informed exploration of how modern conversation has drifted into chaos. Quentin Drummond Anderson examines why, in a world louder than ever, silence has become the rarest sound — and listening an endangered skill. Drawing on a lifetime of cross-cultural experience, he takes readers from Tokyo to London, New York to Riyadh, revealing how every society has its own choreography of speech, interruption, and performance. 
  In Britain, conversation is a “polite ambush,” wrapped in apologies. Americans interrupt with enthusiasm, mistaking passion for empathy. Italians talk all at once, turning dialogue into an affectionate opera. In France, interruption is a duel; in the Nordic nations, silence is authority. Across Asia and the Middle East, measured speech and generous dialogue show how listening can still be an art. 
  Anderson dissects the conversational species of our age — from Interruptus Maximus to the Armchair Philosopher, from the Monologue Society to the Name Dropper — with the precision of a zoologist and the wit of a novelist. His analysis exposes not just how we speak, but what our habits reveal about insecurity, identity, and the universal hunger to be heard. 
  Yet Back to Me is ultimately hopeful. Anderson argues that beneath the noise lies the possibility of civility, humility, and curiosity — if we choose to reclaim them. “When everyone shouts,” he writes, “wisdom whispers.” 
  Insightful, cosmopolitan, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Back to Me is a timely guide to understanding how we lost the ability to listen — and how we might find it again.
