  Why Wendell Berry, Michael Pollan, and other slow-food-loving locavores are wrong about food in America—and why Waffle House can save us allThe food industry is a major driver of climate change, pollution, obesity, animal suffering, and workplace exploitation. Many food writers blame the industrial food system and tell individual eaters to fix these problems by buying local, artisanal food from small farmers—a solution most Americans can't afford. But, as food policy experts Gabriel Rosenberg and Jan Dutkiewicz remind us, modern technology has made food more affordable, abundant, varied, and tastier than at any other time in history. In Feed the People!, they argue that modern food pleasures like Waffle House waffles, and the industrial systems that make them possible, are actually good. With smart technology and commonsense policies, we can make them even better.Rosenberg and Dutkiewicz have traveled around the United States to find the people changing the way we make and eat food, from the innovators behind plant-based burgers to the cooks serving free school lunches to the labor organizers unionizing fast food joints. They show that building a food system that works for everyone will take more than just eating your vegetables. Feed the People! invites you to sit at the table and join this delicious movement.

  The Revolutionary Self - Social...

  An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
   
   
   
  The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.

  Becoming Alpha: Tuning the First Signal 
  A groundbreaking guide to inner power, presence, and the rhythm that shapes reality. 
    
  What if the real alpha isn't the loudest in the room — but the most in tune? 
    
  In this powerful blend of science, ancient wisdom, and modern insight, Nader Hantour redefines what it means to be "alpha." Forget dominance and ego. Becoming Alpha reveals a deeper truth: the original alpha is a frequency — a calm, clear, creative state of mind and body that unlocks presence, clarity, and quiet leadership. 
    
  Drawing from neuroscience, mythology, meditation, and altered states, this book offers a fresh path to power — not through control, but through coherence. 
    
  Inside, you'll discover: 
    
  • The truth about alpha brainwaves — and how to access them 
  • How to tune your nervous system for clarity, flow, and focus 
  • Ancient practices that align your mind, body, and energy 
  • Why real leadership begins in silence, not struggle 
  • A practical toolkit to live from the alpha state — every day 
    
  Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, seeker, or leader in the making, this book will help you stop performing and start tuning. 
    
  Becoming Alpha isn't about changing who you are. It's about remembering the rhythm you were born with.

  Britain's Secret Defences:...

  The narrative surrounding Britain's anti-invasion forces has often centered on "Dad's Army"-like characters running around with pitchforks, on unpreparedness and sense of inevitability of invasion and defeat. The truth, however, is very different. 
   
   
   
  Top-secret, highly trained civilian volunteers were being recruited as early as the summer of 1940. Had the Germans attempted an invasion they would have been countered by saboteurs and guerrilla fighters emerging from secret bunkers, and monitored by swathes of spies and observers who would have passed details on via runners, wireless operators, and ATS women in disguised bunkers. Alongside these secret forces, the Home Guard were also setting up their own "guerrilla groups," and SIS (MI6) were setting up post-occupation groups of civilians to act as sabotage cells, wireless operators, and assassins had the Nazis taken control of the country. 
   
   
   
  The civilians involved in these groups understood the need for absolute secrecy and their commitment to keeping quiet meant that most went to their grave without ever telling anyone of their role. There has been no official and little public recognition of what these dedicated men and women were willing to do for their country in its hour of need, and after over eighty years of silence the time has come to highlight their remarkable role.
