Reimagining Design - Unlocking...

Kevin G. Bethune, John Maeda

Design offers so much more than an aesthetically pleasing logo or banner, a beautification add-on after the heavy lifting. In Reimagining Design, Kevin Bethune shows how design provides a unique angle on problem-solving—how it can be leveraged strategically to cultivate innovation and anchor multidisciplinary teamwork. As he does so, he describes his journey as a Black professional through corporate America, revealing the power of transformative design, multidisciplinary leaps, and diversity. 
 
 
  
In Bethune's account, diversity, equity, and inclusion emerge as a recurring theme. He shows how, as we leverage design for innovation, we also need to consider the broader ecological implications of our decisions and acknowledge the threads of systemic injustice in order to realize positive change. His book is for anyone who has felt like the "other"—and also for allies who want to encourage anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-ageist behaviors in the workplace. Design transformation takes leadership—leaders who do not act as gatekeepers but, with agility and nimbleness, build teams that mirror the marketplace. 
 
 
  
Design in harmony with other disciplines can be incredibly powerful; multidisciplinary team collaboration is the foundation of future innovation. With insight and compassion, Bethune provides a framework for bringing this about.

Folk Music - A Bob Dylan...

Greil Marcus

Acclaimed cultural critic Greil Marcus tells the story of Bob Dylan through the lens of seven penetrating songs 
 
“Marcus delivers yet another essential work of music journalism.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
 
“Further elevates Marcus to what he has always been: a supreme artist-critic.”—Hilton Als 
 
Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. 
 
In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan’s story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus’s point of departure is Dylan’s ability to “see myself in others.” Like Dylan’s songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan’s continuing presence and relevance through his empathy—his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

Praise for My Jesus:
"I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story."
--Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original
"The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read."

Mughal Empire - The Taj Mahal...

Rolf Hedger

The Mughal Empire emerged as one of the most powerful and influential dynasties in Indian history, leaving a lasting impact on culture, architecture, and governance. Its foundation was laid by Babur, a descendant of both Timur and Genghis Khan, who established Mughal rule in the early 16th century. Babur's military prowess and strategic vision enabled him to defeat the Delhi Sultanate in the First Battle of Panipat in 1526. This victory marked the beginning of Mughal dominance in the Indian subcontinent. However, Babur’s reign was short-lived, and it was his grandson, Akbar, who truly solidified the empire’s foundation.
Akbar ascended the throne at a young age and quickly proved himself to be an exceptional leader. His reign, which lasted from 1556 to 1605, was marked by territorial expansion, administrative reforms, and a commitment to cultural and religious harmony. Unlike previous rulers, Akbar recognized the diversity of India and sought to integrate different communities into his empire. He abolished the jizya tax on non-Muslims, promoted interfaith dialogue, and appointed talented individuals from various backgrounds to key positions in his administration. His policy of religious tolerance and inclusive governance earned him the loyalty of many, contributing to the stability and prosperity of the empire.
One of Akbar’s most remarkable achievements was the establishment of an efficient administrative system. He divided his empire into provinces, each governed by appointed officials who reported directly to the central authority. This system ensured effective governance and facilitated tax collection, trade, and law enforcement. Additionally, Akbar introduced a standardized revenue system that helped regulate the economy and promote agricultural growth. His emphasis on merit-based appointments created a well-organized bureaucracy that endured long after his reign.
