  Experience the Words That Ignited a Revolution.
  
  First published anonymously in January 1776, Thomas Paine's Common Sense was the spark that turned colonial discontent into a full-scale demand for independence. Written in clear, forceful language designed to be understood by everyone—not just the elite—this masterpiece of political persuasion dismantled the "myth" of the British monarchy and argued that the colonies had both a right and a duty to govern themselves.
  
  
  Paine's arguments were so compelling that they reached nearly every corner of the colonies, becoming the all-time best-selling American title relative to the population. His call for a democratic republic and the protection of natural rights provided the intellectual foundation for the Declaration of Independence and the birth of a new nation.
  
  This definitive edition presents the complete, original text of the most influential pamphlet in American history. Whether you are a student of early American history, a fan of political philosophy, or simply looking to understand the roots of American liberty, Common Sense remains an essential and electrifying read.
  
  Discover the power of logic and the spirit of freedom. Buy "Common Sense" today and witness the birth of a nation.

  "A gripping account of survival and a condemnation of the conditions that marginalize and endanger the unsheltered." —KIRKUS 
  "Superb... Sharp dialogue, incisive observations, and polished prose." —BookLife EDITOR'S PICK 
  Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars -- while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. 
  A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. 
  This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of technologies and peoples that should not be together, but are. It upends stereotypes about children who survive abuse, young sex workers, LGBTQ youth, resilience in the face of immense grief and trauma, and how communities form to overcome some of the deadliest forms of discrimination. It reveals to readers that there was never a case for tech's shine in the first place. 
  Most of all, it is a story of tremendous resilience and how we can remake trauma into an invitation to be part of a larger world.

  The history of America cannot be told without the history of religion, the history of American religion cannot be told without the history of Catholicism, and the history of Catholicism in America cannot be told without the history of Jesuits in America. 
   
   
   
  Jesuits in the United States offers a panoramic overview of the Jesuit order in the United States from the colonial era to the present. David J. Collins, SJ, describes the development of the Jesuit order in the US against the background of American religious, cultural, and social history. He covers the papacy's suppression of the order and its restoration period. The author also compares Jesuit activities in the US to those in Europe and, by the twentieth century, to those around the world, as the political and religious connections between the US and the world, especially Latin America, grow. Collins also reflects on the future of the order in light of its past. 
   
   
   
  Listeners familiar with the Jesuit tradition and those who are new to it will learn from this book's distinctive and modern perspective—using twenty-first century scholarship on Jesuit slaveholding, the sexual abuse crisis, and other contemporary issues—on 500 years of Jesuit history in the United States.
