  "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy" is a work by Karl Marx, which he wrote in 1859. This work serves as a precursor to his more famous and extensive work, "Das Kapital." In this earlier work, Marx explores key concepts and ideas that later form the basis of his critique of capitalist society. 
  In this text, Marx delves into the economic and social structures of his time, examining the fundamental principles of political economy. He critiques various economic theories and thinkers, providing insights into his evolving thoughts on capitalism, labor, and the relationships between different classes in society. While not as comprehensive as "Das Kapital," this work lays the groundwork for Marx's later analyses and remains an essential piece for understanding his economic and philosophical perspectives.

  Fitness for Mental Health -...

  Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often overlooked when discussing overall well-being. As the world becomes more fast-paced and demanding, people are increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. While therapy and medication are common approaches to managing mental health, an often overlooked yet highly effective method is exercise. Physical activity has been proven to be a powerful tool in improving mental health, relieving stress, and enhancing overall well-being. 
  The connection between physical and mental health has been a topic of research for decades, and studies consistently show that regular exercise positively impacts the brain. When we engage in physical activity, our bodies release endorphins, often referred to as "feel-good" hormones, which help to improve our mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. Exercise has also been shown to reduce cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. The combination of these effects makes exercise an excellent natural remedy for mental health struggles. 
  Incorporating exercise into a daily routine provides numerous benefits beyond the body. It not only strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health, but it also helps with mental clarity, boosts self-esteem, and enhances cognitive function. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a high-intensity workout, each form of exercise offers unique benefits that contribute to mental well-being.

  Socrates is on trial for his life. He is charged with impiety and corrupting young people. He presents his own defense, explaining why he has devoted his life to challenging the most powerful and important people in the Greek world. The reason is that rich and famous politicians, priests, poets, and a host of others pretend to know what is good, true, holy, and beautiful, but when Socrates questions them they are shown to be foolish rather than wise.

  July 3, 1981, was a pivotal night for the future of America's newest art form: hip hop. In New York's Harlem World Club, the Fantastic Romantic Five and the Cold Crush Brothers competed, with an unprecedented $1,000 on the line in a highly anticipated rap battle. The show drew hundreds of fans to settle a question that still dominates hip hop circles: Who's the best? 
   
   
   
  In Harlem World, journalist Jonathan Mael chronicles this fateful night of hip hop rivalry and shares a new look at how Harlem helped ignite a musical revolution. Since hip hop first emerged in New York in the early 1970s, artists sought to elevate this uniquely American musical genre by pushing the limits of record-playing techniques and lyricism. The two crews they assembled put on the best shows in a world where hip hop was still a strictly live art form. 
   
   
   
  The battle blew the roof off Harlem World that night, and bootlegged cassette tapes of the match-up sent aftershocks around the city as more fans listened to the legendary performances. Set in the New York of the 1970s and '80s, this book shares dozens of new, exclusive interviews and a treasure trove of previously unpublished archival material to tell the story of Cold Crush and Fantastic's rivalry, documenting one of the most important stories in hip hop history.
