  FROM ONE OF ISRAEL'S LEADING VENTURE CAPITALISTS COME TWELVE BOLD NATION-SCALE IDEAS FOR TRANSFORMING THE COUNTRY'S FUTURE AND A CALL TO RECOVER THE AMBITION THAT BUILT IT.  
  On October 7, 2023, everything changed — and yet, in the corridors of Israel's institutions, so much stayed exactly the same. In the aftermath, Judah Taub spent hundreds of days on reserve duty, leading tech teams to solve urgent battlefield problems. He came back asking a different question: not how Israel could catch up, but how far beyond its institutions it could leap toward a bolder future.  
  Moonshots for Israel is his answer. Applying the same rigor he brings to evaluating startups, where his team meets over 1,400 companies a year and backs only a handful, Taub set a single, uncompromising bar. Each idea had to possess the potential to transform an entire sector while surviving the scrutiny of the country's leading experts. The result is twelve ambitious, concrete proposals, spanning water and energy, defense and medicine, artificial intelligence, education, and Israel's connection to the Diaspora, alongside a sovereign wealth fund built to secure future generations.  
  At its heart, this is a book about a mindset. Israel was itself a startup once — an audacious idea pursued against all odds. Taub argues that the deepest lesson of October 7 is not despair, but the urgent need to rediscover that founding spirit: to see the country not only as it is but as it could be, and to build accordingly.  
  Practical, optimistic, and unafraid, Moonshots for Israel is a rallying cry for a generation ready to take it on.

  American Founders reveals men and women of African descent as key protagonists in the story of American democracy. It chronicles how black people developed and defended New World settlements, undermined slavery, and championed freedom throughout the hemisphere from the sixteenth thorough the twentieth centuries. While conventional history tends to reduce the roles of African Americans to antebellum slavery and the civil rights movement, in reality African residents preceded the English by a century and arrived in the Americas in numbers that far exceeded European migrants up until 1820. Afro-Americans were omnipresent in the founding and advancement of the Americas, and recurrently outnumbered Europeans at many times and places, from colonial Peru to antebellum Virginia. African-descended people contributed to every facet of American history as explorers, conquistadores, settlers, soldiers, sailors, servants, slaves, rebels, leaders, lawyers, translators, teachers, doctors, nurses, inventors, investors, merchants, mathematicians, scientists, scholars, and presidents. The multitude of events and mixed-race individuals included in the book underscores that black and white Americans share the same history, and in many cases, the same ancestry. American Founders is meant to celebrate this shared heritage and strengthen these bonds.

  Have you ever wondered why some conversations turn sour? How a calm discussion suddenly becomes unbearable? Have you ever felt hopeless, like there were no good options left? Well, there are. 
  In Hope: A Guide to Emotional Intelligence, Gabriel Richardson helps readers discover what emotional intelligence truly is, and what it isn't. Through the five pillars of emotional intelligence, practical exercises, and proven strategies for handling difficult conversations, this book is a roadmap to healthier, more compassionate relationships. 
  Drawing from personal testimony, biblical wisdom, and hard-won life lessons, Richardson explores examples of emotional intelligence in Scripture, especially in the way Jesus demonstrated empathy, compassion, and grace. Each chapter has real-world applications, from avoiding language that fuels conflict to setting healthy boundaries and responding with empathy. 
  This book is all about healing from past wounds, breaking unhealthy patterns, and learning to communicate with kindness and truth. Readers will learn how to recognize emotional filters, overcome people-pleasing, combat negative self-talk, and build stronger relationships grounded in faith and emotional awareness. 
  Gabriel Richardson wears many hats: worship leader at Redeemer Church, two-time Sammy-nominated musician, computer specialist for Oneida County, co-writer for richardsonmusic.net, and bass player for the Mark Bolos Band. Beyond his titles, Gabriel has struggled, grown, and learned what it means to love others. Hope: A Guide to Emotional Intelligence is his first book, written to remind readers that no matter their past, they are enough, and there is always hope.

  Given how history played out, it’s often forgotten that before Rome’s civil war, Pompey was one of the most powerful men in Rome, and many assumed he would defeat Caesar. During his military career, Pompey played a role in defeating many of Rome’s enemies across the world, from Africa to Spain, and he even helped put down Spartacus’ uprising. He had built his military power and acumen by participating in Rome’s previous civil war between Gaius Marius and Sulla, sharpening both his political and military skills, and he used them to great effect for decades during one of ancient Rome’s most chaotic periods. 
  In July 48 B.C., Pompey nearly destroyed Caesar’s army at the Battle of Dyrrhachium in modern Albania, where Caesar gave chase against his enemy’s larger army despite the dangers inherent in such a move. Caesar was defeated when he attacked Pompey’s camp at Dyrrhachium, and for his part, Caesar believed Pompey didn’t move fast enough to immediately capitalize on his victory, noting, “Victory today would have been the enemy’s, if only anyone among them had possessed the good sense to grasp it.” 
  In the wake of the victory, Pompey believed that he had Caesar on the run, so he pursued him, and when he joined forces with more Senate forces under Scipio, he was convinced that Caesar was in an impossible position and would ultimately be compelled to surrender without the need for any major battle. Against his instincts, Pompey’s optimate supporters and his own officers urged battle and suggested that he was prolonging the war unnecessarily to keep his military command. This ultimately brought about the Battle of Pharsalus, which proved to be the decisive battle of the civil war, on August 9, 48 B.C.
