  For fans of Jeannette Walls, Jodi Picoult, and Alice Sebold, a heartening memoir about a girl who survives abuse and molestation to become a powerful advocate against gun violence in America. 
  The inspiring memoir of a woman who overcomes the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse of her early life to blossom into a gun violence prevention activist. 
  Growing up in a toxic, male-centered household where she is repeatedly told, "Don't be a dumb girl," Heidi is abused by her dad, starting with a punch in the face at five years old, and left to fend for herself by her alcoholic mom, who neglects to protect her from either her violent father or her sexually abusive brother. For years, Heidi is traumatized and without a voice. 
  Then comes Columbine. Thirteen years after Heidi graduates from Columbine High, this horrific school shooting rocks the nation and gives her a sudden sense of purpose. Despite her childhood wounds, or perhaps even because of them, she becomes determined to stop gun violence. Gradually, she finds her voice: organizing vigils and protests, joining the Brady Campaign Board to battle the NRA, and eventually writing a book and directing a documentary about the after-effects of gun violence. In doing so, she finds her inner strength and resolve and overcomes her fear of conflict, and learns that when you frame it the right way, even feeling "dumb" can be a superpower.

Through clear boundaries and responsible contribution, you will identify what you can offer, who should shape the need, and how your growth can become part of a larger good.

  Power. Money. Blood. Influence. 
  What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth. 
  In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life. 
  Discover: 
  •	How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime. 
  •	The secret alliances between drug lords, politicians, police, and billionaires. 
  •	How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons. 
  •	The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.” 
  From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization. 
  Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away. 
  Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

  Fool - In Search of Henry VIII's...

  In some portraits of Henry VIII there appears another figure—a gaunt and morose-looking man with a shaved head. This is William or "Will" Somer, the king's fool, a celebrated wit who reportedly could raise Henry's spirits and spent many hours with him. Was Somer an "artificial fool," a cunning comic who could speak freely in front of the king, or a "natural fool," someone with intellectual disabilities, like many other members of the profession? Fool is the first biography of Somer—and perhaps the first of a Renaissance fool. 
   
   
   
  After his death, Somer disappeared, and historians struggled to separate myth from reality. Unearthing as many facts as possible, Peter K. Andersson pieces together the fullest picture yet of an enigmatic and unusual man with a strange job. Somer's story provides new insights into how fools lived and what they did for a living, how monarchs and courtiers related to commoners and people with disabilities, and whether aspects of the Renaissance fool live on in the modern comedian. But most of all, we learn how a commoner without property or education managed to become the court's chief mascot and a continuous presence at the center of Tudor power. 
   
   
   
  Fool reveals a little-known world, surprising and disturbing, when comedy was something crueler and more unpleasant than we like to think.

  The *Simple Sabotage Field Manual*, created in 1944 by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS), is a unique World War II-era document that provides guidance on simple methods of sabotage. Originally intended for citizens in enemy-occupied territories, it describes easy-to-execute tactics for disrupting enemy operations without special tools or skills. The manual covers areas such as industrial sabotage, transportation interference, and general workplace disruption, encouraging small acts like misplacing tools, giving incorrect directions, or insisting on unnecessary bureaucracy to lower productivity and morale. Emphasizing the power of collective minor disruptions, this field manual offers a fascinating look at unconventional resistance strategies and reflects the ingenuity of wartime intelligence efforts. Now in the public domain, it serves as a historical document on guerrilla tactics and psychological warfare.
