  When the World Closed Its Doors...

  More people traveled internationally in 2019 than in any year in history. After COVID began its rapid spread throughout the world, though, international travel plummeted, and nations across the world hardened their borders. For the first time, governments took the same tools that have been used against less privileged migrants and asylum seekers and turned them on citizens from countries that had long enjoyed relatively unfettered travel—and sometimes on their own citizens. 
   
   
   
  In When the World Closed Its Doors, Edward Alden and Laurie Trautman tell the story of how nearly every country in the world shut its borders and explain how this global shock to the system ended up transforming state border policies around the world. They detail the consequences of the COVID border restrictions and explain why governments used their harshest containment measures on those coming from outside. Throughout, Alden and Trautman focus on human stories to show the multiple impacts that states' increasing restrictiveness has had—economic, demographic, social, and political. 
   
   
   
  A sweeping overview of the re-bordering of the world, both during and after 2020, this synthetic, wide-angle view of a singular shock to the international systems of travel and migration highlights why citizens need better protections and governments more robust guardrails.

  The name George Soros is recognized around the world. Universally known for his decades of philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, he is equally well known as the nemesis of the far right—the target of sustained attacks from nationalists, populists, authoritarian regimes, and anti-Semites—because of his commitment to open society, freedom of the press, and liberal democracy. At age ninety-one, Soros still looms large on the global stage, and yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. 
   
   
   
  Biographers have attempted to tell the story of George Soros, but no single account of his life can capture his extraordinary, multifaceted character. Now, in this ambitious and revealing new book, Soros's longtime publisher, Peter L. W. Osnos, has assembled an intriguing set of contributors from a variety of different perspectives—public intellectuals (Eva Hoffman, Michael Ignatieff), journalists (Sebastian Mallaby, Orville Schell), scholars (Leon Botstein, Ivan Krastev), and nonprofit leaders (Gara LaMarche, Darren Walker)—to paint a full picture of the man beyond the media portrayals. 
   
    
   
  Through this kaleidoscope of viewpoints emerges a vivid and compelling portrait of this remarkable man's unique and consequential impact. It has truly been a life in full.

  Delusional Disorder: Delusion...

  What is a delusion—and when does a fixed false belief become a disorder in its own right? Delusion Illness to Delusional Schizophrenia, Exploring Types and Characteristics offers the first comprehensive, integrative guide to delusional disorder, one of psychiatry’s most misunderstood conditions. Blending clinical expertise with lived experience, the book explores the full spectrum of delusion illness—from circumscribed paranoid beliefs to the overlap with delusional schizophrenia—and provides a clinical tour of the types of delusions that define this complex diagnosis.
   
  Drawing on best‑selling memoirs, pioneering research, and decades of clinical wisdom, this volume traces the history of diagnostic boundaries, from Kraepelin’s paranoia to today’s dimensional models. It details the characteristics of delusional disorder, including the non‑bizarre criterion, preserved functioning, and islands of insight, and offers practical guidance on pharmacotherapy, cognitive‑behavioral therapy, family intervention, and forensic considerations.
   
  Centering the voices of individuals like Elyn Saks and Esmé Weijun Wang, the book illuminates the terror, isolation, and hard‑won recovery of living with fixed false beliefs. It addresses families, cultural humility, and the ethical complexities of involuntary treatment—always returning to the person behind the delusion.
   
  For clinicians, trainees, families, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding, this book delivers rigorous science with deep humanity. Delusional disorder is real. But the person who holds it is always more.

  Prayer - The Art Of Believing

  In Prayer - The Art of Believing, Neville explores prayer as a psychological act: you receive what you accept as true. He contrasts pleading with “thanksgiving,” teaching that the effective prayer is the inner experience of already having. Through examples and explanation, he shows how belief is not intellectual agreement but felt acceptance. The emphasis is on mastering attention, mood, and inner speech so belief becomes automatic and fruitful.
  
  Prayer as assumption, not begging
  Thanksgiving as the secret of belief
  Feeling-based conviction over intellect
  Attention and inner speech as training tools
