Prepare yourself for a journey through the darkest chapters of human history in Dark Tales of History's Wickedest. This book delves into the depths of human depravity, revealing stories of villains, tyrants, and atrocities that have shaped our world.

Within these pages, you will encounter infamous figures whose actions have left an indelible mark on humanity. From ancient emperors to modern dictators, from cunning manipulators to ruthless killers, these individuals wreaked havoc and caused untold suffering. Their stories serve as a stark reminder of the capacity for evil that resides within us all.

From the ancient battlefields of Greece and Rome to the global conflicts of the 20th century, these wars left an enduring legacy of pain and destruction. They remind us of the fragility of peace and the importance of diplomacy and understanding.

Furthermore, this book sheds light on infamous crimes and controversies that captivated the world's attention. From assassinations and kidnappings to political scandals and corporate malfeasance, these events exposed the dark underbelly of society and challenged our trust in institutions. They underscore the importance of accountability, transparency, and the pursuit of justice.

Their stories inspire us to confront darkness with light, to never give up on our values, and to strive for a better future.

A groundbreaking look at the hidden role of bankruptcy in perpetuating inequality in America 
 
 
 
Bankruptcy is the busiest federal court in America. In theory, bankruptcy in America exists to cancel or restructure debts for people and companies that have way too many—a safety valve designed to provide a mechanism for restarting lives and businesses when things go wrong financially. 
 
 
 
Legal scholar Melissa B. Jacoby shows how bankruptcy has also become an escape hatch for powerful individuals, corporations, and governments, contributing in unseen and poorly understood ways to race, gender, and class inequality in America. When cities go bankrupt, police unions enjoy added leverage while police brutality victims are denied a seat at the negotiating table; the system is more forgiving of civil rights abuses than of the parking tickets disproportionately distributed in African American neighborhoods. Unjust Debts reveals the hidden mechanisms by which bankruptcy impacts everything from sexual harassment to health care, police violence to employment discrimination, and the opioid crisis to gun violence.

    Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?  
If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.  
The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.  
How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them. 
Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics. 
This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.

    After a decade of popular uprisings and civil wars, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region experiences a deep governance crisis. The transformation, weakening or even the collapse of state institutions has changed the security framework, with direct implications for the safety and security of civilian populations across the region. Security Sector Governance and Reform (SSG/R) has to cope with hybridity and institutional fatigue.
This report explores the MENA region's governance crises, providing case studies on Libya, Iraq, Tunisia, and Yemen. How can we effectively bring about meaningful SSG/R in hybrid security orders? In which way is "institutionalised insecurity" challenging traditional patterns of governance in vulnerable settings?

    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
 
In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
 
Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.
