Summary

Gender Equality Gains explores the complex, often nonlinear, journey toward gender equity, examining both significant advances and persistent barriers. Moving beyond a simple narrative of progress, the book investigates how economic policies, shifting social norms, and societal biases influence gender equality worldwide. It emphasizes the link between gender equality and broader societal benefits, such as economic growth and social stability. The book uses statistical data and case studies to illustrate its points, tracing the historical evolution of gender roles and feminist movements.

 
It examines measurable progress in areas like education and political representation, while also tackling challenges such as the gender pay gap and underrepresentation of women in leadership. By integrating insights from various disciplines like sociology and economics, the book offers a nuanced understanding of gender equality's multifaceted dimensions. The book begins with foundational concepts and progresses through historical context, evidence of progress, and persistent barriers.

 
It dedicates sections to analyzing economic policies and global economic trends, before culminating in practical policy recommendations. This approach provides readers with a holistic view, enabling them to understand both the symptoms and root causes of gender inequality and to consider strategies for promoting lasting change at individual, organizational, and governmental levels.

    INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ MESSAGE TO THE WORLD 
This is our chance to listen to a message from people closely connected to the Earth. The industrial world has put their very existence at stake. Stop and listen to their world! -- Mickey Hart, drummer with the Grateful Dead and author of Drumming at the Edge of Magic Available for the first time in a digital format, the “Indigenous Peoples’ Message To The World” documents the First World Conference of Indigenous Peoples, a collaboration of numerous organizations, individuals and indigenous peoples from around the globe. The lectures and cultural music presentations that made up the conferences were recorded live in the Amazon 
jungle in Brazil in 1992 and delivers a timeless and deeply relevant message to us all. The extraordinary partnership captured here was spearheaded by Marcos Terena, the founder of the United Indigenous Nations, and supported by the Tribal Link Foundation and Land is Life, organizations that actively promote and protect the rights of indigenous peoples. 
Not only did this program receive a starred review in Publishers Weekly (PW), which called it a who of ritual tribal music and ceremony", but PW was inspired to create a new award – The pioneering Hybrid of the Month Award – specifically for this moving title.

  • Between Two Rivers - Ancient Mesopotamia and the Birth of History - cover

    Between Two Rivers - Ancient...

    Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time. 
 
 
 
What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth. 
 
 
 
In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE. 
 
 
 
Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives―with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies―vividly close to our own.

    I Dream with Open Eyes - A Memoir

    Whatever the ideological slant of our information feeds, nowadays we all share a sense of binge-watching the apocalypse. Facing so much uncertainty, we need a language for thinking about the unknown not simply as a threat but also as a space of fertile possibility. George Prochnik has chosen to reflect on these urgent themes through the lens of a personal narrative: an account of his own family's decision to leave the United States. 
 
 
 
I Dream with Open Eyes begins with an exploration of Prochnik's ancestral past: the pilgrimage of his mother's family, who were among the first English settlers in the New World. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a parallel migration unfolds as Prochnik, along with his wife and their son, makes the decision to uproot their lives in New York to move to England. 
 
 
 
A deep critique of this current moment, Prochnik takes the words of nineteenth-century poet Heinrich Heine, "I dream with open eyes, and my eyes see," as an inspiration to ask how, as a society, we might use art and literature to refract and expand our vision of the future, while simultaneously generating a new focus on present realities.
