Synopsis

Police Evolution offers a comprehensive exploration of how American policing has transformed from its rudimentary origins to its current complex state. It delves into the historical, social, and political forces that have shaped law enforcement, revealing how policing practices reflect shifting societal values and technological advancements. For instance, the rise of municipal police departments in the 19th century was often marred by political corruption, while the professionalization movement of the early 20th century brought about significant changes through figures like August Vollmer.

 
This book uniquely connects the evolution of policing to broader fields like sociology, political science, and African American studies, shedding light on power dynamics and institutional racism. The book begins with early forms of law enforcement, including the English watch system and slave patrols, progresses through the civil rights era and its impact on policing, and culminates with contemporary issues like the militarization of police and debates surrounding racial profiling.

 
By examining the interplay between policing and society, Police Evolution provides valuable context for understanding current debates about criminal justice reform and pathways for creating a more equitable system of public safety.

Lucid Dawn

In Dispelling the Binary, lucid compiles 30 years of rebirthing-practice and 20+ years of dedicated teaching of trauma-informed yoga and tantric lineages in an easy-to-read volume that is part memoir, part practice manual and self help workbook, to help all of us dispel the crushing binaries that force us to segregate our parts as a means of controlling us. 
But our true nature is nonbinary and free. All of us. From the most privileged to the most marginalized. In a book that reaches beyond self-help to discuss how false binaries seek to control us systemically through the false gender binary, the invented racial binary, and all other forms of systemic oppression, lucid offers practical steps, beginning in each of or bodies, to dissolve the the externally-imposed walls in our physical and energetic bodies to support us back to our true nature. We are unbridled, free, blissfully nonbinary in every way. Open this book if you dare to reclaim your true nature.

Tao Te Ching

Lao Tzu

The Tao Te Ching came into existence some 2,500 years ago, since when it has become the most influential text of eastern philosophy. Best translated as the classic of the way and its power (or virtue), its teachings are of simplicity, humility, and 'non-action', and its cadenced poetry is at once spare and profound.
