  Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 - December 26, 1972) was the 33rd president of the United States, serving from 1945 to 1953. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as vice president from January to April 1945 under FDR and as a US senator from Missouri from 1935 to January 1945. Assuming the presidency after FDR's death, Truman implemented the Marshall Plan to rebuild the economy of Western Europe and established both the Truman Doctrine and NATO to contain the expansion of Soviet communism. In these recordings from the 1960s, Truman discusses the establishment of Israel in 1948, the bravery of Jewish soldiers, and his view of the Jewish-Arab conflict in Palestine.

  Creativity is often seen as the driving force behind progress and innovation, but it can be difficult to define due to its fluid and multifaceted nature. At its core, creativity is the ability to generate novel ideas, solutions, or artistic expressions that are both original and valuable. It is not confined to any one discipline and can manifest in countless forms, whether in art, science, business, or everyday life. While many people may perceive creativity as an inherent trait, research suggests that it can also be nurtured and developed through practice and the right environment. This chapter explores the definition of creativity and the reasons why it is so crucial in both personal and professional realms. 
    
  The importance of creativity extends far beyond individual expression. It plays a central role in solving complex problems, adapting to new challenges, and envisioning future possibilities. In the workplace, creativity fuels innovation, allowing businesses to stay competitive and responsive to the rapidly changing demands of global markets. In education, creative thinking is essential for fostering critical thinking and lifelong learning. Creativity can also promote emotional well-being, offering a means of self-expression and problem-solving when faced with personal challenges.

  A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
   
   
   
  First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
   
   
   
  This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.

  Chaos answers to many names. Every mythos, culture, and religion in the world warns about the master of fire and shadow. But in the beginning, fire was a gift. Truthfully, Chaos wants to make peace with his younger brother, Order. Sibling bonds, interdependent curses, and a single shared responsibility bind them together. No love is ever lost, but the more they accomplish, the more they start to fear each other until they find themselves firmly, accidentally... enemies. Self-discovery, loyalty, and best intentions fuel the conflict in this alternative creation myth without a villain. Fall into the poetic rhythm of this short story as imperfect gods gamble with humanity's happiness.
