  Gender: Your Guide - A...

  The days of two genders—male, female; boy, girl; blue, pink—are over, if they ever existed at all. Gender is now a global conversation, and one that is constantly evolving. More people than ever before are openly living their lives as transgender men or women, and many transgender people are coming out as neither men nor women, instead living outside of the binary. Gender is changing, and this change is gaining momentum. 
   
   
   
  We all want to do and say the right things in relation to gender diversity—whether at a job interview, at parent/teacher night, and around the table at family dinners. But where do we begin? 
   
   
   
  From the differences among gender identity, gender expression, and sex, to the use of gender-neutral pronouns like singular they/them, to thinking about your own participation in gender, Gender: Your Guide serves as "a warm, inviting guide to a complicated area" (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). Professor and gender diversity advocate Lee Airton, PhD, explains how gender works in everyday life; how to use accurate terminology to refer to transgender, non-binary, and/or gender non-conforming individuals; and how to ask when you aren't sure what to do or say. It provides the information you need to talk confidently and compassionately about gender diversity, whether simply having a conversation or going to bat as an advocate.

  It was the arrival of Robert Clive, as the governor of Bengal which was to change the scene in India permanently. It is interesting to note that Robert Clive started his career as a mere clerk in East India Company. Clive met the emperor at Allahabad and got the permission for himself and the East India Company, the Diwani of the three provinces of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. The Diwani gave them the right to collect revenue and dispose of them without the responsibility for the provincial administration and without the appearance of complete annexation. The emperor, the suzerain authority, Shuja of Awadh and the Nawab of Bengal were links of an indivisible chain. The emperor was the central master while the provincial servants in the traditional Mughal hierarchy were Shuja and the Nawab. Now, Clive ensured that he could operate without the interference of any. It was a masterstroke!

  Primordial American Terrorists is a new interpretation of events leading to the end of legalized slavery in the United States. Along the way, it reveals the duality of the terrorist persona, a profile the author pioneered in his earlier book, Sofia Perovskaya, Terrorist Princess. It tells the story, not only of terrorists who struck savagely out of intense passion for a cause, but also of their direct comparison with equally passionate men and women who dedicated themselves to social justice through advocacy and other non-violent methods.

  Delve into the intricate dance of free speech in the United States. "Walls of Words" is not just another book about the First Amendment; it is a deep dive into the intricate boundaries that define our freedom of expression. With a rich blend of history, jurisprudence, and real-world examples, this book paints a comprehensive picture of how speech has been shaped, celebrated, and suppressed since the founding of America. 
   
  Ever wondered about the intentions of the Founding Fathers when they penned the First Amendment? Or how landmark cases over the centuries have redefined its interpretation? From the early American media's struggles with censorship to the rise of digital platforms, discover the evolution of speech boundaries and the forces that have constantly sought to redraw them. 
   
  But it doesn't stop there. In today's digital age, speech boundaries are more complex than ever. Dive into the thorny issues of cyberbullying, doxing, and the rise of disinformation. Understand when speech crosses the line into crime, from threats and extortion to false advertising and copyright infringement. And for those moments when you find yourself walking on the eggshells of culturally sensitive speech, this book offers guidance on navigating those murky waters. 
   
  Moreover, in a world where the line between private censorship and public responsibility is increasingly blurred, "Walls of Words" challenges readers to reflect on the ethical implications of speech boundaries. How do we balance tolerance with limitation? What role do private entities play in shaping the discourse? And as technology continues to transform the landscape of expression, what challenges lie ahead for the future of free speech? 
   
  "Walls of Words" promises an enlightening journey through the ever-evolving wall of words that defines our collective responsibility to uphold the spirit of free speech.
