  The Cuban Missile Crisis - Brink...

  The Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments in the Cold War, did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The context of this crisis lies deeply within the broader Cold War, which began shortly after the end of World War II. This period was marked by intense ideological rivalry, military standoffs, and a nuclear arms race that would define much of the second half of the 20th century. 
  The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the conflicting political and economic ideologies of the two superpowers. The United States, championing capitalism and democracy, viewed the spread of communism, led by the Soviet Union, as a direct threat to global stability and democratic values. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, sought to expand the reach of communism and solidify its control over Eastern Europe, which had been acquired as a result of the war. This division between the capitalist West and the communist East created a tense geopolitical environment that shaped every diplomatic interaction between the two powers. 
  In the early stages of the Cold War, several key events served to heighten the distrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Blockade in 1948, the Korean War in the early 1950s, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact solidified the division of the world into two hostile camps. As both nations escalated their military capabilities, the nuclear arms race emerged as a central aspect of Cold War tensions. The development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons made the Cold War not just an ideological battle but also a dangerous game of survival, with the constant threat of global annihilation hanging over every political and military maneuver.

  Hear Me Roar

  A memoir about zookeeping, and what animals taught me about feminism. 
   
  In the early 1980s, when Erna Walraven decided to follow her dreams and become one of the first female zookeepers in Australia, she thought her biggest challenges would be feeding big cats and subduing irate gorillas. In fact, it was her male colleagues who made work miserable, harassing and humiliating her for doing a 'man's job'. So, she looked to the animals under her care to prove them wrong. 
   
  Despite what Erna's colleagues seemed to think, the females of the animal world were far from weak and demure. Elephant matriarchs led their herds; female bonobos revelled in sexual exploration; emu mothers abandoned their chicks to the care of their fathers. Her colleagues wouldn't dare tell a female tiger that hunting was a 'male's job' - why were they so intent on limiting Erna? 
   
  In this insightful and delightful book, Erna blends memoir and pop science to tell a fiercely female story. She recounts a life spent caring for animals in a fast transforming industry, and dives into scientific evidence and evolutionary history to debunk the myths that once held her back.

  A Finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction 
   
  Gender is everywhere. Politicians argue over it, educational systems struggle to define it, and our friends, neighbors, and children explore it. More than ever before, young people are questioning their gender identities and redefining the role of gender in their lives. How should our society―and we as individuals (parents, teachers, friends)―respond? 
   
  In Gender Explained, Diane Ehrensaft, PhD, and Michelle Jurkiewicz, PsyD, separate medical fact from fear-mongering falsehoods and answer these questions: What should parents do when their child starts experiencing gender dysphoria? Which sports teams should transgender youth play on? How should schools teach young people about gender? And most important: What is gender-affirming care, and when should an individual have access to it? 
   
  With clear, expert guidance, this book is a safeguard against political vitriol, and it offers urgent protection for those among us who are transgender and/or nonbinary. Far more than an introduction to gender creativity, it is an invitation to develop compassion for everyone along the gender continuum.

  Social work is a vital profession dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. It encompasses a broad range of practices aimed at addressing social issues, alleviating suffering, and promoting social change. Rooted in the principles of social justice, human rights, and empowerment, social work strives to enhance the well-being of marginalized populations while fostering an equitable society. 
    
  At its core, social work is grounded in the understanding that individuals exist within the context of their environment. This ecological perspective highlights the interplay between personal, social, economic, and cultural factors that influence people’s lives. Social workers utilize this holistic approach to assess the needs and challenges faced by clients, recognizing that effective interventions must address not only the individual but also the systemic barriers that contribute to their difficulties. 
    
  Social work practice is diverse, encompassing various fields, including healthcare, mental health, child welfare, education, and community development. Each area requires specialized knowledge and skills, allowing social workers to adapt their interventions to meet the unique needs of different populations. For instance, a social worker in a school setting may focus on supporting students with behavioral challenges, while one in a healthcare facility may advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems.
