Hope by Terry Fox

Barbara Adhiya

Featuring excerpts from Terry’s very own Marathon of Hope journal, Hope by Terry Fox shares the untold story of a well known hero — the goofy, resilient, and courageous 21-year-old who rallied a nation behind his mission.

In 1976, when Terry Fox was just eighteen years old, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and his right leg was amputated just above the knee. It quickly became his mission to help cure cancer so others would not have to endure what he had gone through. He dreamed up a Marathon of Hope — a fundraising run across Canada, from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Victoria, British Columbia. 5,300 miles.

When he set off on April 12, 1980, Canadians were dubious. But as he continued across the country, enthusiasm grew to a frenzy. Sadly, Terry’s cancer returned, and after 143 days and 3,339 miles, he was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope. He passed away in 1981, but the nation picked up his mission where he left off, and the annual Terry Fox Run has even spread to cities around the world, raising more than $850 million to date — well over Terry’s goal of one dollar for every Canadian.

After conducting over fifty interviews with people throughout Terry’s life — ranging from his siblings, nurses, and coaches to volunteers during the Marathon of Hope — editor Barbara Adhiya discovers how Terry was able to run a marathon a day. Through their stories, passages from Terry’s marathon journal, and over 200 photos and documents, Hope by Terry Fox shows that with enough resilience, determination, humility, and support, ordinary people can do impossible things.

How America Worksand Why It...

William Cooper

Twenty-first-century America isn’t working the way it’s supposed to.
This book explains why.
Americans in the twenty-first century are becoming increasingly untethered from both reality and the essential principles and traditions that have shaped the nation’s historic success. A big part of why America isn’t working is because far too many Americans neither know nor care how it’s supposed to work.
“William Cooper presents an insightful, sensitive, and accessible account of the trials that face American democracy in the twenty-first century. This fair- and broad-minded volume makes compelling reading for those who are looking to build a better democracy.” Alexander Yen, Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Oxford
“Partisanship fuels personal convictions more than ever in our society, and convictions fuel mysided thinking and other cognitive biases. At no time have we needed this discussion of bias and partisan thinking more than now.” Keith E. Stanovich, author of The Bias That Divides Us
“William Cooper logically and authoritatively takes you step by step through all the reasons a President Trump couldn’t imprison his enemies, pardon his friends, overrule judges, weaponize the Department of Justice, prosecute Joe Biden, or order the military to enforce his unconstitutional actions” Cleveland Plain Dealer
“William Cooper is an insightful and thought-provoking writer about US politics. He deserves to be widely read.” Thomas Plate, former Editorial Page Editor, Los Angeles Times
"In How America Works . . . and Why It Doesn’t, William Cooper gives a thoughtful, readable guide to what ails American democracy. Required reading for any student of political science.” Uri Kaufman, author of Eighteen Days in October
"A must-read. His well-written and brief book covers a lot of important ground in a learned but accessible manner. Probably most noteworthy, though, is his astute and fair judgment―the book is not a polemic for the left or the right, but rather a fair appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of both. I highly recommend reading it―it is an enjoyable tour of key aspects of history (as well as current events), ethics, political philosophy, constitutional law, environmental science, and cognitive psychology―all told in a lucid, efficient way." William O'Donohue, PhD, Professor, University of Nevada, Reno

Feminist Philosophy - Rethinking...

Hector Davidson

Feminist philosophy has emerged as a critical lens for understanding and deconstructing gender roles, power structures, and the ways in which societal norms shape individual identities. At its core, feminist philosophy challenges traditional, patriarchal systems that often position women and marginalized genders as secondary to men. It is not merely a critique of these systems but an exploration of alternative ways of thinking about power, justice, and equality. Feminist philosophers have sought to unravel the deep-rooted assumptions about gender, questioning how these assumptions limit the full potential of individuals and societies. 
The intersection of gender, power, and identity plays a pivotal role in feminist thought. Feminist philosophers argue that gender is not a natural or static characteristic but a social construct shaped by historical, cultural, and political forces. This perspective invites us to reconsider the rigid distinctions between what is typically considered "masculine" and "feminine," and challenges the belief that these roles are inherent or unchangeable. It also calls attention to the ways in which power dynamics inform our understanding of gender. Feminism examines how power operates not just in political or economic spheres, but in everyday interactions, personal relationships, and within institutions.
