  A fantasy playground in an unforgiving desert. A town that refused to fail. A gambling mecca that never closes. Las Vegas. Sin City. 
  Situated in a barren desert landscape, Las Vegas exists for one reason—water. Popular as a waystation for travelers, the Las Vegas Valley attracted the attention of railroad visionaries at the end of the 19th century. After purchasing land from a local widow, the developers laid out a town in 1905. Vegas hasn’t slowed down since. 
  Building on one opportunity after another, the citizens of that railroad town refused to entertain the notion that they could fail. Buoyed by the building of Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) during the Great Depression, Vegas played a major role in World War II. But the war years also put Las Vegas on the radar of organized crime as a wide-open town ripe for casinos that hid extensive money-laundering operations.  
  Now a place for both families and high rollers, Las Vegas has no mercy when it comes to re-invention. In Sin City, the old constantly makes way for the new—and there’s always something new on the horizon. 
  This captivating guide tells the story of Las Vegas from prehistory to the empire building of developers. In these pages, you’ll read about local legends and gain insight into the heart of a city created for practical reasons but built on outrageous whimsy and the guts to carve its own way to greatness. 
  In this audiobook, you will learn about the following:The prehistory of a valley once filled with marshy land and flowing rivers.The role pioneers, including Mormon missionaries, played in the development of the town.The adventures and influence of founding citizens like Charles “Pop” Squires and Helen J. Stewart.And so much more!

  Letters to Gwen John

  Celia Paul's Letters to Gwen John centers on a series of letters addressed to the Welsh painter Gwen John (1876–1939), who has long been a tutelary spirit for Paul. John spent much of her life in France, making art on her own terms and, like Paul, painting mostly women. John's reputation was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother, Augustus John, and her lover Auguste Rodin. Through the epistolary form, Paul draws fruitful comparisons between John's life and her own: their shared resolve to protect the sources of their creativity, their fierce commitment to painting, and the ways in which their associations with older male artists affected the public's reception of their work. 
   
   
   
  Letters to Gwen John is at once an intimate correspondence, an illuminating portrait of two painters, and a writer/artist's daybook, describing Paul's first exhibitions in America, her search for new forms, her husband's diagnosis of cancer, and the onset of the global pandemic. Paul, who first revealed her talents as a writer with her memoir, Self-Portrait, enters with courage and resolve into new unguarded territory—the artist at present—and the work required to make art out of the turbulence of life. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  DEI Exposed - How the Biggest...

  DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 
  DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. 
  DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion. 
  How did the hustlers pull it off? 
  This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI's virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. 
  DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come. 
  Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI's stated aims and its practical effects. 
  - Ram Mudambi, Frank M. Speakman Professor of Strategy, Fox School of Business, Temple University 
  The DEI monster has continually sprouted new tentacles, and Ridgley has given us an account of how it came to be its lurid self. 
  - Bruce Gilley, author of The Case for Colonialism 
  With razor-sharp analysis, Ridgley dissects how higher education compromised itself, abandoning merit and intellectual vigor in favor of pseudoscience and ideological conformity. 
  - Nicholas Giordano, Professor of Political Science and host of The P.A.S. Report Podcast 
  Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley is Clinical Full Professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University. He holds a Doctorate and Master's in International Relations and Security from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University. He is a Russian language linguist and former Military Intelligence Officer.

  While there are a few short articles and guides addressing the challenges and complexities of leading white affinity groups, there has never been a detailed handbook exclusively for white racial affinity group facilitators. There are many challenges in facilitating these groups, including the need to have a deep theoretical understanding of racism, a high degree of racial self-awareness, sensitivity to and the ability to work with the range of skills and degrees of awareness participants bring, and strong facilitation and conflict-resolution skills. This book is the first in-depth guide for educators, mediators, workplace consultants and trainers, workplace diversity groups, community organizers, conference organizers, members of faith communities, and members of racial and social justice groups. Dr. Robin DiAngelo and Amy Burtaine, who collectively bring over twenty years of experience leading anti-racist education and racial affinity groups, present the following: · a theoretical framework for understanding racism; · a case for the value of racial affinity groups as a tool for challenging racism; · guidelines for setting up affinity groups in a variety of contexts; · the skills and perspectives needed for effective facilitation; · scenarios to illustrate common challenges; · a glossary of definitions; · exercises, discussion prompts, and assessment tools. · an extensive list of common patterns and group dynamics and how to address them This accessible guide is an important reference for anyone committed to anti-racism work.
