  On my knees in the dark, he makes me chant for him. He’s etching this moment into my brain. 
  He says it’s a secret. He won’t tell anyone what we’re doing. 
  If word ever got out, I’d be ruined. A master kneeling for his servant…there’s no greater shame. It would jeopardize my position in the Roman Senate. 
  But with each passing day, I sink deeper. He’s broken something inside my mind. He’s conditioning me to crave his body. 
  Each night, he makes me commit bizarre, depraved acts. I moo like a cow while he “milks” me. I drink his essence. I happily lick the dirtiest part of his body. 
  Where does this end? Is there any sick command I won’t obey?

  Radical Advocate - Ida B Wells...

  Born into the brutal reality of slavery, Ida B. Wells rose to become an audacious journalist, teacher, and activist for racial and gender justice. In Radical Advocate, Mary E. Triece examines the rhetorical strategies employed by Wells to challenge deeply rooted systems of oppression, strategies that remain powerful and relevant today. 
   
  Triece introduces the concept of "radical embodied advocacy" to give an account of Wells's unique position as a Black woman whose personal encounters with white violence were palpable, experienced physically and mentally. White men lynched Wells's friends and threatened her own life, forcing her into exile after destroying the very press on which she wrote and edited. From this perspective, Wells understood lynching as linked to white economic and political control. Through a close analysis of Wells's speeches, writings, and journalism, Triece reveals how Wells pioneered a form of "intersectional journalism" that centered the voices of those marginalized by race, gender, and class. 
   
  Triece underscores the epistemic challenges faced by marginalized advocates and the importance of their perspectives in shaping social change. Radical Advocate positions Wells as a prophetic figure whose insights into the systemic nature of racism remain profoundly relevant in today's world.

  New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.

  Vanishing Life on Earth

  The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
  existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
  history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
  The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
  have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
  The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
  selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
  microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
  Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
  and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
  diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.
