  Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
   
   
   
  As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
   
   
   
  Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
   
   
   
  He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
   
   
   
  This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.

  In a sparkling social history, Skirts traces the shifting roles of women over the twentieth century through the era's most iconic and influential dresses. 
   
   
   
  While the story of women's liberation has often been framed by the growing acceptance of pants over the twentieth century, the most important and influential female fashions of the era featured skirts. Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. As women made strides towards equality in the vote, the workforce, and the world at large, their wardrobes evolved with them. 
   
   
   
  Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the little black dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Pop-Over dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn—and the women who wore them—while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves.

  Beginning in 66 Squadron, by the end of the Battle of Britain, he was already an ace with eight enemy aircraft destroyed: three Heinkel 111s, one Dornier 17, one Me110, and three Me109s. He then went on to become flight commander in No. 41 Squadron RAF and later took command of three more squadrons. 
   
   
   
  His memoir, Spitfire Command, is a remarkable account of life as one of The Few, charting his journey through the war, flying all marks of the Spitfire—from the Mk I to the Mk XIV—right through to when he ended operational duty just a week before the war ended. Written vividly, Oxspring provides an authentic insight into the lives of the men who fought in the air. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of bravery, good humor, and sacrifice.

  Mummies and Magic - The...

  Mummification is one of the most fascinating and iconic aspects of ancient Egyptian culture. The practice, rooted in both religious beliefs and practical preservation techniques, developed over thousands of years. Understanding the origins of mummification requires a look into early burial practices, the evolution of the methods used, and the profound spiritual significance behind this ancient tradition. 
  In the Predynastic period, before the rise of the Pharaohs, ancient Egyptians buried their dead directly in the hot, dry desert sands. The natural arid conditions acted as a primitive form of preservation, desiccating the bodies and preventing decomposition. These simple burials, often in shallow pits, led to accidental mummification as the desert sands rapidly absorbed moisture. Early communities likely noticed that bodies buried in this way remained intact, sparking the realization that dryness was key to preservation. 
  As Egyptian society evolved, so did burial practices. The transition from pit burials to more elaborate tombs posed new challenges, as the enclosed environments led to faster decomposition. To counter this, early experiments with artificial preservation began. Initially, these efforts were rudimentary, involving simple wrappings and the use of resins. Over time, embalmers refined their techniques, experimenting with salts, oils, and various substances to dry and protect the body. By the Old Kingdom period, the practice had transformed into a highly ritualized and sophisticated process.

  When most people hear the word "witch," they immediately think of crones conspiring over a cauldron, a force of dark and vindictive power. But to hundreds of thousands across the world, being a witch is a living, everyday reality, much more varied than the fairytale image. 
   
  Witch Power follows Emma Quilty—herself a witch and an anthropologist—on an immersive journey into contemporary witchcraft, from Witchcamp retreats to "red tent" menstrual events, Voodoo priestesses running ghost tours from their vans to TikTokers casting hexes on a viral scale. 
   
  Attentive to the history of witchcraft, she reveals the role power plays in how the figure of the witch has changed over time to suit the ever-present need to control and demonize women. Because to be a witch is to live in defiance of society's expectations and rules. 
   
  But while the witch is always castigated as a threat, Quilty finds that the witch is never alone: the witch is a survivor and a symbol of resistance. Ultimately, Witch Power is a provocation and an invitation to listeners to experience with the author what it means to embrace witchiness and what witchy feminism could bring to your life.
