Sinopse

Storms That Shaped examines how hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis have acted as major catalysts in world history, impacting settlement patterns, economic development, and the outcomes of conflicts. These extreme weather events are explored through the lenses of Earth science, geography, and historical analysis, revealing their transformative power on both the environment and human societies. For instance, the book illustrates how tsunamis have dramatically altered coastal communities in the Indian Ocean and Japan, while also considering how pre-industrial societies interpreted these disasters compared to our modern, scientifically informed responses.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the formation, behavior, and geographic distribution of each type of storm. Major sections then delve into specific historical case studies, such as the influence of tornadoes on the development of the American Midwest. By integrating historical narratives with scientific explanations, Storms That Shaped provides a rounded perspective, highlighting how the interplay between natural forces and human civilization has driven adaptation, innovation, and societal change throughout time.

    Ohio. A suicide, no fingerprints, no identity. 
     
     
     
    In July 2002, the Eastlake police discovered a decomposed body in a modest studio apartment in Cleveland, Ohio. It appeared to be a suicide by firearm. The man was Joseph Newton Chandler III, a retiree whom neighbors and former colleagues described as quiet, secretive, and strange. But as the investigation progressed, less and less about Joseph's life and identity made sense. 
     
     
     
    In 2018, thanks to scientific advances in DNA, the man's true identity was finally discovered: Robert Ivan Nichols. A veteran with a wife and three sons, Nichols eventually left his family, telling his wife "One day you will know why." A few years later, in 1965, his family reported him missing. By 1978, he had stolen the identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III, who had been killed in a car accident at eight years old. But who was this man and why did he change his name? What secret was he trying to hide? 
     
     
     
    Thibault Raisse examines the case, exploring the many theories that have emerged, from the craziest to the most credible. Among these theories is a possible connection to the Zodiac Killer, whose murders date back to 1968 and 1969 in California.

    This audiobook narrated by Landon Woodson shares how the new Black politics can forge a future centered on collective action, community, and care
    
    When #BlackLivesMatter emerged in 2013, it animated the most consequential Black-led mobilization since the civil rights and Black power era. Today, the hashtag turned rallying cry is but one expression of a radical reorientation toward Black politics, protest, and political thought. To Build a Black Future examines the spirit and significance of this insurgency, offering a revelatory account of a new political culture—responsive to pain, suffused with joy, and premised on care—emergent from the centuries-long arc of Black rebellion, a tradition that traces back to the Black slave.
    
    Drawing on his own experiences as an activist and organizer, Christopher Paul Harris takes readers inside the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) to chart the propulsive trajectory of Black politics and thought from the Middle Passage to the present historical moment. Carefully attending to the social forces that produce Black struggle and the contradictions that arise within it, Harris illustrates how M4BL gives voice to an abolitionist praxis that bridges the past, present, and future, outlining a political project at once directed inward to the Black community while issuing an outward challenge to the world.
    
    Essential reading for the age of #BlackLivesMatter, this visionary and provocative book reveals how the radical politics of joy, pain, and care, in sharp contrast to liberal political thought, can build a Black future that transcends ideology and pushes the boundaries of our political imagination.
