  Divine Females explores the sacred, mysterious, and often awe-inspiring roles of women in mythologies across time and cultures. This 3-in-1 collection highlights the power, wisdom, and influence of feminine figures in ancient stories, featuring Mythical Women, Gods and Legends, and The Myths of the Maya. From creators and warriors to queens and enchantresses, these women shaped the cosmos, guided heroes, and embodied both chaos and creation. 
  In Mythical Women, uncover the stories of goddesses and legendary heroines like Athena, Isis, Kali, and Amaterasu—each with distinct roles that challenge, protect, or define their worlds. Then, in Gods and Legends, zoom out to see how these divine females interacted with other deities and myths from various global traditions, often as the heart of the moral, magical, or cosmic balance. These stories show that power in mythology isn't just physical—it's emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. 
  Finally, The Myths of the Maya offers a deep dive into the feminine aspects of this intricate belief system. Discover moon goddesses, fertility spirits, and the symbolic role of women in Maya cosmology and daily life. Whether feared, revered, or adored, these divine females offer a powerful lens into how ancient civilizations saw the world—and the women who helped shape it.

  The Bitter End - The 2020...

  The year 2020 was a tumultuous time in American politics. It brought a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, and a razor-thin presidential election outcome. It culminated in an attack on the US Capitol that attempted to deny Joe Biden's victory. The Bitter End explores the long-term trends and short-term shocks that shaped this dramatic year and what these changes could mean for the future. 
   
   
   
  John Sides, Chris Tausanovitch, and Lynn Vavreck demonstrate that Trump's presidency intensified the partisan politics of the previous decades. Presidential elections have become calcified, with less chance of big swings in either party's favor. Republicans remained loyal to Trump and kept the election close, despite Trump's many scandals, a recession, and the pandemic. But in a narrowly divided electorate even small changes can have big consequences. The pandemic was a case in point: when Trump pushed to reopen the country even as infections mounted, support for Biden increased. The authors explain that, paradoxically, even as Biden's win came at a time of heightened party loyalty, there remained room for shifts that shaped the election's outcome. Ultimately, the events of 2020 showed that instead of the country coming together to face national challenges—the pandemic, George Floyd's murder, and the Capitol riot—these challenges only reinforced divisions.
