  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.

  Drass ka Tiger - Capt Anuj...

  In May 1999, the Kargil insurgency was still being viewed as a routine affair. No one quite understood the magnitude of the situation. However, it soon emerged that infiltrators had captured high-altitude posts vacated by Indian soldiers during the winter months and thus had a tactical upper hand, while the Indian Army struggled with intelligence. 
  For the next month or so, Capt. Anuj Nayyar and the men of 17 Jat went on various reconnaissance missions in the boulder-strewn Drass sector where enemy troops had set up base. They fought relentlessly in a gruesome battle for two nights in July, before securing the peak that was critical to the success of Operation Vijay and India's victory in Kargil. Amid heavy artillery and mortar fire, they destroyed four enemy bunkers and neutralized tens of infiltrators in close combat. During the attack on the fourth bunker, the twenty-three-year-old captain was hit by an enemy rocket-propelled grenade, dying instantly but saving the lives of fifteen men in the process, who eventually finished the mission and hoisted the Indian flag on the peak. 
  For motivating his command by personal example and going beyond the call of duty, Capt. Anuj Nayyar was awarded India's second-highest gallantry award, the Maha Vir Chakra, in 2000.  
  This is the Hindi translation of his story, which was a bestseller in English.

  This 3-in-1 volume investigates how identity, social interaction, and constructed realities influence the development of youth within a constantly evolving world. 
  The first section, Youth and Society, examines the social roles, challenges, and transitions that young people face as they grow into adulthood. It explores how education, culture, media, and institutions affect youth identity, opportunity, and social mobility. 
  The second section, The Social Animal, delves into human social behavior with a special focus on youth. Drawing from psychology and sociology, it analyzes group behavior, conformity, interpersonal connection, and the deep need for belonging during formative years. 
  The third section, The Social Construction of Reality, explores how our perceptions of the world—including concepts like adolescence, success, and rebellion—are not just discovered, but socially constructed. This section helps readers understand how youth experiences are shaped by societal narratives and expectations. 
  Together, these three volumes offer an interdisciplinary lens on the transformation of youth and the broader changes shaping society.

  "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
   
   
   
  How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
   
   
   
  In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
   
   
   
  Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
   
   
   
  Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.
