This timely work examines the complex nature of antisemitism, tracing its evolution from ancient times to the present day and analyzing its impact on both Jewish communities and society at large.

Structured in three main sections, the book covers the historical roots of antisemitism, its modern-day expressions, and strategies for combating this prejudice. It draws on a wide range of evidence, including historical documents, sociological studies, and contemporary case studies, to support its arguments.

What sets this book apart is its comprehensive approach, combining historical analysis with contemporary insights and practical strategies. By examining the intersection of antisemitism with other forms of prejudice and its relationship to broader issues of identity and globalization, the work offers readers a nuanced perspective on this complex topic. It equips students, scholars, policymakers, and concerned citizens with the knowledge and tools to recognize, challenge, and combat antisemitism in their communities, ultimately working towards a more inclusive and just society.

In Search of a Boy Named Chester...

Ford S. Worthy

Shortly after the end of World War II, a 21-year-old Navy officer – just back after a year at war in the Pacific – was eager to return to his small hometown in eastern North Carolina for a brief home leave. At the San Francisco airport, a mother travelling to Omaha offered him her seat – a patriotic gesture of gratitude, he believed. There was one condition: the sailor would need to accompany her 10-year-old son and see him safely to his grandmother in Omaha. 
The boy’s name was Chester. The sailor never forgot him. 
Nearly 80 years later, the sailor’s son sets out to give his father a special 100th birthday gift: to discover what became of that precocious boy. 
The book blends memoir, investigative nonfiction, and family history into a poignant and suspenseful journey. Through letters, military records, census and newspaper archives and outreach to strangers-turned-allies, the author pieces together the life of a boy nearly lost to time. Along the way, the story explores themes of memory, intergenerational connection, and the lasting impact of wartime experiences. Rich in historical detail and emotional resonance, the book will appeal to readers of narrative nonfiction, World War II history, and family sagas, and to genealogical sleuths drawn to real-life mysteries. In Search of a Boy Named Chester is a story that shows us how even the most fleeting encounters can reveal who we are and who we may become.

Alexandra Petri's US History -...

Alexandra Petri

A witty, absurdist satire of the last 500 years, Alexandra Petri's US History is the fake textbook you never knew you needed! 
 
 
 
Alexandra Petri's US History contains a lost (invented!) history of America. (A history for people disappointed that the only president whose weird sex letters we have is Warren G. Harding.) Petri's "historical fan fiction" draws on real events and completely absurd fabrications to create a laugh-out-loud, irreverent takedown of our nation's complicated past. 
 
 
 
On Petri's deranged timeline, John and Abigail Adams try sexting, the March sisters from Little Women are sixty feet tall, and Susan Sontag goes to summer camp. Nearly eighty short, hilarious pieces span centuries of American history and culture. Nikola Tesla's friends stage an intervention when he falls in love with a pigeon. The characters from Sesame Street invade Normandy. And Mark Twain—who famously said reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated—offers a detailed account of his undeath, in which he becomes a zombie. 
 
  
 
This side-splitting work of historical humor shows why Alexandra Petri has been hailed as a "genius," a "national treasure," and "one of the funniest writers alive."

7 Signs You May Be...

John Harpoon

Unintentional manipulation is a behavior that often goes unnoticed, even by the person exhibiting it. Many people associate manipulation with malicious intent, but the reality is that it can stem from deep-seated insecurities, learned behaviors, or a lack of self-awareness. When manipulation is unintentional, it can be especially difficult to recognize because the person engaging in it often believes they are acting out of necessity, self-protection, or even love. However, these behaviors can have lasting negative effects on relationships, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion for both parties involved.
Understanding manipulation requires a willingness to look inward and examine patterns of communication and interaction. Some people use guilt, passive-aggression, or victimhood as a means of influencing others without realizing that these tactics can be harmful. Others may withdraw affection or communication to maintain control in situations where they feel vulnerable. In some cases, even excessive people-pleasing can be a form of manipulation, as it subtly pressures others to respond in a certain way. These behaviors are often unconscious, but they still impact those around us. Recognizing them is the first step toward change.
The purpose of this book is not to shame or condemn but to provide insight into these behaviors and offer practical steps for improvement. No one is perfect, and many people engage in manipulative behaviors at some point in their lives. However, when these behaviors become patterns, they can erode trust and create unhealthy dynamics. By identifying the signs of unintentional manipulation, individuals can develop healthier ways of expressing their needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.
