  Symposium is a philosophical text written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, believed to have been composed in the late 4th century BCE. The book is a dialogue between a group of distinguished Athenians, who have gathered together to discuss the nature of love and beauty. 
  The dialogue takes place during a symposium, or dinner party, hosted by the tragedian Agathon. The guests, including Socrates, Aristophanes, and Alcibiades, take turns giving speeches in praise of love, each offering their own unique perspective on the subject. 
  Throughout the text, Plato explores the nature of love and its role in human life, examining the ways in which it can inspire us to reach for greater heights of knowledge and understanding, while also causing us great pain and suffering. The speeches given by the various characters in the text are rich with symbolism and metaphor, and offer a wide range of interpretations and insights into the nature of love. 
  At its core, Symposium is a meditation on the human condition, and the ways in which we grapple with our own mortality and the limitations of our existence. Through its exploration of love and beauty, the book offers a profound reflection on the nature of human experience, and the search for meaning and purpose in our lives.

  Day of Reckoning - How the Far...

  The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
   
   
   
  Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
   
   
   
  In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.

  Living in the Future -...

  Living in the Future reveals the unexplored impact of utopian thought on the major figures of the Civil Rights Movement. 
    
  Utopian thinking is often dismissed as unrealistic, overly idealized, and flat-out impractical—in short, wholly divorced from the urgent conditions of daily life. This is perhaps especially true when the utopian ideal in question is reforming and repairing the United States’ bitter history of racial injustice. But as Victoria W. Wolcott provocatively argues, utopianism is actually the foundation of a rich and visionary worldview, one that specifically inspired the major figures of the Civil Rights Movement in ways that haven’t yet been fully understood or appreciated. 
   
  Wolcott makes clear that the idealism and pragmatism of the Civil Rights Movement were grounded in nothing less than an intensely utopian yearning. Key figures of the time, from Martin Luther King Jr. and Pauli Murray to Father Divine and Howard Thurman, all shared a belief in a radical pacificism that was both specifically utopian and deeply engaged in changing the current conditions of the existing world. Living in the Future recasts the various strains of mid-twentieth-century civil rights activism in a utopian light, revealing the power of dreaming in a profound and concrete fashion, one that can be emulated in other times that are desperate for change, like today.

  A powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age — and the resilience, reinvention, and relationships that sustain them.
  		 
  Women are living longer than ever, but for many, those extra years come with financial uncertainty. This book tells the stories of women who, after raising children, managing households, and working in fulfilling careers, find themselves now alone and surviving on the edge.
  		 
  A national housing crisis hits harder when the gender pension gap leaves women with significantly less retirement income than men, but this crisis isn’t inevitable. A CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist offer essential advice on careers, pensions, and relationships, while the voice of a young writer from Lainey Gossip reveals why financial independence is non-negotiable.
  		 
  This book looks at how women can embrace this new longevity with strength and purpose. A wake-up call for women of all ages, it is an inspiring testament to the lasting social and economic contributions of women.
  		 
  The astonishing lives of older women are not defined by money or men. They are defined by resilience, purpose, desire, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship.
