  Plundered - The Tangled Roots of...

  Two of the world's greatest crises, systemic racism and environmental destruction, share the same origin story. The two are rooted in economic forces that exploit and oppress both people and land. 
   
   
   
  Pastor David Swanson shows how we have failed our God-given duty as caretakers of creation and how that failure has resulted in the exploitation of people and the extraction of natural resources. Racial and ecological injustice share the same root cause—greed—that turns people and the natural world into commodities that are only valued for their utility. Yet Christians have the capacity to live in a way that nurtures racial and environmental justice simultaneously, honoring people and places in dynamic relationship with our Creator God. Swanson shows how we can become communities of caretakers, the way to restore our relationship with creation and each other, and the holistic justice that can result.

  Sanctions - What Everyone Needs...

  A concise, authoritative overview of a little-understood yet extremely important phenomenon in world politics: the use of economic sanctions by one country to punish another. 
   
   
   
  It's hard to browse the news without seeing reports of yet another imposition of sanctions by one country on another. The United States has sanctions against more than thirty countries. Russia has repeatedly imposed sanctions against former Soviet republics. China has developed its own approach, including targeting private entities such as the NBA. And it's not just major powers: Japan and South Korea have sanctioned each other over WWII and colonial legacies; Saudi Arabia against Qatar because of differences over Iran; and France, Germany, and Norway against Brazil over the Amazon forest and climate change. In Sanctions: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Bruce Jentleson—one of America's leading scholars on the subject—answers the fundamental questions about sanctions today: Why are they used so much? What are their varieties? What are the key factors affecting their success? Why have they become the tool of first resort for states engaged in international conflict? Jentleson demonstrates that examining sanctions is key to understanding international relations and explains how and why they will likely continue to bear on global politics.

  The Folklore of Rome - Myth...

  Step beyond the ruins and into the pulse of ancient Rome—not the Rome of marble triumphs and imperial decrees, but of whispered spells, ghostly omens, and mythic memory. The Folklore of Rome: Myth, Magic, Dying, and the Making of the Empire is an immersive exploration of how stories, superstitions, and sacred rites shaped the world’s most enduring civilization from its legendary beginnings to its imperial zenith. 
  In these pages, history meets enchantment. Chapter by chapter, the book reveals how Roman identity was bound to its folklore: the way Livy’s histories blurred myth and moral lesson, how domestic charms and street-corner incantations governed daily life, and how rituals of dying transformed death into a civic and spiritual act. From household gods to battlefield omens, from public festivals to private fears, Rome’s imagination was alive with unseen forces—powers that both inspired and restrained its people. 
  With vivid scholarship and a storyteller’s touch, The Folklore of Rome uncovers the Empire’s hidden heartbeat: the dreams, doubts, and supernatural beliefs that gave meaning to conquest and glory. More than a study of myths and rituals, it is a rediscovery of Rome as a living myth itself—a civilization forever poised between the mortal and the divine.

  Hands: An Anxious Mind Unpicked

  Lauren Brown

  ‘Raw, intense and absorbing.’ Matt Haig 
  ‘As tender and funny as it is painful.’ TLS 
  ‘I didn’t give my hands much thought before they turned against me. … They have been chipping away at my life, slowly, slowly, in a way I could never have predicted.’ 
  Lauren Brown is anxious. And when she feels worried, she picks at her skin. Secretly, quietly, but increasingly compulsively, her skin-picking begins to affect her day-to-day life until she realizes she must unravel the reasons behind it. 
  This sparkling memoir follows the thread of Lauren’s anxiety – tangled and frayed – back to its source. Written with rare wit and insight, it is an attempt to redirect the anxiety that’s pooled in her fingertips for as long as she can remember, released in odd bursts in caravan parks, on European holidays, at GP surgeries and on the wind-stung north-east coast. It is a moving and joyful exploration of obsession, forgiveness, stigma and healing, and a true love-song to the north. 
  Thoughtful, unsparing and at times darkly comic, Hands is the masterful debut of a luminous new talent. 
  Lauren Brown's Hands is a literary masterpiece that delves into the depths of OCD and personal anxieties. It's a top-rated autobiography that offers a unique perspective on mental health disorders and the journey towards healing. 
  For fans of Daisy Buchanan (The Sisterhood), Kate Fox (Where There’s Muck, There’s Bras), Baek Sehee (I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki), Paul Burston (We Can Be Heroes), and Jade Angeles Fitton (Hermit).
