Synopsis

Education Completion Gaps examines the significant educational disparities affecting LGBTQ students, revealing lower high school and college completion rates compared to their non-LGBTQ peers. The book investigates how factors like social stigma, discrimination, and inadequate institutional support contribute to increased dropout rates and hinder college enrollment and graduation. Notably, LGBTQ students facing bullying and harassment are at higher risk of dropping out, while supportive policies like Gay-Straight Alliances can improve outcomes. 

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from education, sociology, and psychology to explore the complexities of educational equity. It begins by outlining the historical context of discrimination before analyzing current research on dropout rates and college enrollment trends. The book then progresses through an examination of risk factors, a review of institutional policies, and a comparative analysis of college outcomes. 

 
This work is particularly valuable due to its exploration of intersectionality, highlighting how race, class, and gender combine to exacerbate educational disparities within the LGBTQ community. By synthesizing quantitative data from national surveys with qualitative insights from LGBTQ students and educators, the book offers a comprehensive framework for fostering more inclusive and supportive educational environments.

    "Written in the heat of battle and the halls of power—the ultimate guide to mastering your mind."
    
    Meditations is a collection of twelve books containing the private thoughts of the most powerful man in the ancient world. Writing to himself as a form of spiritual exercise, Marcus Aurelius explores how to remain virtuous in a world of vice, how to find tranquility in the face of death, and how to perform one's duty without complaint. He argues that while we cannot control external events, we have absolute power over our own thoughts and reactions. This isn't just a book of philosophy; it is a practical blueprint for living a life of purpose, integrity, and calm.
    
    The Core Principles of Stoicism: Through pithy aphorisms and deep introspection, Aurelius focuses on the concept of the Amor Fati (love of fate) and the Dichotomy of Control. He reminds himself—and the reader—that everything is change, and that the only thing that truly matters is the quality of one's character.
    
    A Leader's Inner Battle: Unlike other philosophical texts, Meditations is deeply personal. It captures an emperor reminding himself to be patient with "tiresome people," to avoid the temptations of fame, and to stay grounded in the present moment. It remains a favorite of world leaders, athletes, and entrepreneurs for its brutal honesty and practical application.
    
    Why It Matters Today: In an age of constant distraction and anxiety, Marcus Aurelius's words are more relevant than ever. He teaches us that "the happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts" and provides the tools to build an "inner citadel" that no external force can break.

    In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. 
     
     
     
    As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system—as illustrated by the critical race theory debate—but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward.

    When the American Revolution ended, the United States and Britain reached an impressively comprehensive peace in the Treaty of Paris. Among the important terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the colonies as free and relinquished territorial claims to them. The two sides then negotiated the boundaries that separated the United States from the British colonies in present-day Canada.  
    However, the new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives.  
    For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation.   
    From the American Revolution up through the Battle of Tippecanoe, Native Americans in the Old Northwest (today’s Midwestern states) had been putting up stout resistance to that region’s settlement by white land speculators and settlers. Things came to a head when Tecumseh and his brother, the Prophet Tenskwatawa, spearheaded a movement in the region that greatly influenced the area’s Native Americans.
