Sinopse

Swan Legends explores the rich symbolism of swans throughout history, religion, and literature. More than just elegant birds, swans represent transformation, purity, and liminality across diverse cultures. The book reveals that swans have been potent symbols in mythology, from the tale of Leda and the Swan to Celtic swan maidens, reflecting humanity's evolving understanding of life, death, and spirituality.

 
The book examines the historical context of swan veneration from ancient civilizations to medieval folklore and analyzes the swan as a literary motif, noting how authors use the swan to evoke themes of love, loss, and beauty. It also scrutinizes the swan’s representation across different faiths, correlating it with grace and spiritual ascension. By integrating perspectives from history, literature, and religious studies, Swan Legends provides a comprehensive analysis of the swan's symbolic power.

 
The book unfolds in three major movements, first exploring the appearance of swans in mythology, then examining them as a literary device, and finally delving into their religious symbolism. The concluding section explores the implications of these symbols, how they inform contemporary culture, and how they are employed in modern art.

The Twisted History of the GOP

Mike Luckovich

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

The Shocking Truth about Digital...

Zoey Fraisers

In today’s hyper-connected world, privacy is often taken for granted—or worse, dismissed as an outdated concern. We live in an era where our personal data is treated as currency, constantly collected, analyzed, and monetized by corporations, governments, and cybercriminals alike. Every search query, online purchase, and social media interaction contributes to a vast digital profile that shapes how businesses market to us, how financial institutions assess us, and even how law enforcement monitors us. But how much do we really understand about who is collecting our data and for what purpose?  
  
Most people assume that their digital activities are relatively private—secured by passwords, encryption, and privacy settings. Yet, the reality is far more unsettling. Companies track our browsing habits even when we’re in “incognito” mode, apps request permissions far beyond what’s necessary, and smart devices listen in on conversations, all in the name of “improving user experience.” Governments worldwide deploy mass surveillance programs under the justification of national security, while hackers exploit weak security measures to access personal and financial information. Even when we willingly share details about our lives, such as through social media, we rarely consider the long-term consequences of this exposure.  
  
Perhaps the most alarming aspect of digital privacy erosion is how seamlessly it has integrated into our daily lives. From social media giants like Facebook and TikTok to search engines like Google, nearly every digital service we rely on operates under a business model that thrives on harvesting user data. The more these companies know about us—our habits, preferences, and even emotions—the better they can predict and manipulate our behavior. This is the foundation of surveillance capitalism, an industry built on turning our personal lives into profit.
