Spring and Autumn & Warring...

Hui Wang

“The Spring and Autumn & Warring States Periods” takes you on a journey through one of the most transformative eras in Chinese history, marked by endless battles, brilliant strategies, and the rise and fall of powerful leaders.
The story begins with the collapse of the Western Zhou dynasty, paving the way for a fragmented political landscape. The book brings to life the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period, such as Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Zhuang of Zheng, and the Seven Warring States, which competed for supremacy. Key events include Duke Zhuang's rise to power, the cunning reforms of Guan Zhong in Qi, and the power struggles like the Wu-Yue rivalry and the pivotal partitioning of Jin into Zhao, Wei, and Han.
Iconic characters leap from the pages: Duke Zhuang of Zheng, who asserted dominance through strategic alliances and decisive victories; Guan Zhong, whose reforms transformed Qi into a powerhouse; and military geniuses like Sun Bin and his rivalry with Pang Juan. Philosophers like Confucius, Laozi, and Mozi also emerge, their ideas responding to the chaos and laying the intellectual groundwork for Chinese civilization.
Major reforms, like Shang Yang’s legal transformations in Qin, herald the transition from feudalism to centralized states, culminating in the Qin dynasty's unification of China. The book captures the drama of this era with vivid storytelling, exploring the lives of farmers, soldiers, and scholars amid upheaval.
This period shaped China’s political and cultural future, making this book essential for understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or curious about China’s roots, this accessible account brings an extraordinary epoch to life.

Blackpilled - Masculinity Media...

Meadhbh Park

Incels – involuntary celibates – are often cast as violent, misogynistic loners, consumed by resentment towards women. With shocking tragedies like the 2014 Isla Vista killings and the 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings heightening fears about the threat they pose, understanding this phenomenon has never been more crucial.
But it's important not to view incels as aliens who came down to earth on women-hating spaceships from a distant women-hating planet. Though their belief system – referred to as the 'blackpill' – is no doubt extreme, they haven't constructed it from nothing. These young men are shaped by the media they consume and the society that surrounds us.
In Blackpilled, Meadhbh Park takes an unflinching look at the incel movement through the lenses of masculinity and media studies. Drawing on interviews with incels across the globe and analysing cultural touchstones such as The Matrix, Fight Club, Taxi Driver, Euphoria, Joker and Blade Runner 2049, Park uncovers the origins of their beliefs and what they really think. She also examines potential ways to help incels break free from the nihilistic and hate-fuelled grip of the blackpill.
With extremist misogyny on the rise and governments debating whether incels should be labelled a terror threat, Blackpilled delivers urgent, thought-provoking conclusions that couldn't be more timely.

Emancipation of the Mind An -...

Matthew Stewart

How a band of antislavery leaders recovered the radical philosophical inspirations of the first American Revolution to defeat the slaveholders' oligarchy in the Civil War. 
 
 
 
In their struggle against the slaveholding oligarchy of their time, America's antislavery leaders found their way back to the rationalist, secularist, and essentially atheist inspiration for the first American Revolution. Frederick Douglass's unusual interest in radical German philosophers and Abraham Lincoln's buried allusions to the same thinkers are but a few of the clues that underlie this propulsive philosophical detective story. With fresh takes on forgotten thinkers like Theodore Parker, the excommunicated Unitarian minister who is the original source of some of Lincoln's most famous lines, Matthew Stewart tells the story of the battle between America's philosophical radicals and the conservative counterrevolution that swept the American republic in the first decades of its existence and persists in new forms up to the present day. In exposing the role of Christian nationalism and the collusion between northern economic elites and slaveholding oligarchs, An Emancipation of the Mind demands a significant revision in our understanding of the origins and meaning of the struggle over slavery in America—and offers a fresh perspective on struggles between democracy and elite power today.

Black Boy Smile - A Memoir in...

D. Watkins

A New York Times bestselling and award-winning author presents a complex story about his coming-of-age journey as a Black boy, from the societal roots of trauma to finding joy. "If I had two wishes, it would be that D. Watkins spend an entire book writing through the terrifying wonder of Black boyness in America, and for every human to read and share this book. I am shaken. Black Boy Smile changed my relationship to writing and me."―Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy and winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal At nine years old, D. Watkins has three concerns in life: picking his dad’s Lotto numbers, keeping his Nikes free of creases, and being a man. Directly in his periphery is east Baltimore, a poverty-stricken city battling the height of the crack epidemic just hours from the nation’s capital. Watkins, like many boys around him, is thrust out of childhood and into a world where manhood means surviving by slinging crack on street corners and finding oneself on the right side of pistols. For thirty years, Watkins is forced to safeguard every moment of joy he experiences or risk losing himself entirely. Now, for the first time, Watkins harnesses these moments to tell the story of how he matured into the D. Watkins we know today—beloved author, college professor, editor-at-large of Salon.com, and devoted husband and father.Black Boy Smile lays bare Watkins’s relationship with his father and his brotherhood with the boys around him. He shares candid recollections of early assaults on his body and mind and reveals how he coped using stoic silence disguised as manhood. His harrowing pursuit of redemption, written in his signature street style, pinpoints how generational hardship, left raw and unnurtured, breeds toxic masculinity. Watkins discovers a love for books, is admitted to two graduate programs, meets with his future wife, an attorney—and finds true freedom in fatherhood. Equally moving and liberating, Black Boy Smile is D. Watkins’s love letter to Black boys in concrete cities, a daring testimony that brings to life the contradictions, fears, and hopes of boys hurdling headfirst into adulthood. Black Boy Smile is a story proving that when we acknowledge the fallacies of our past, we can uncover the path toward self-discovery. Black Boy Smile is the story of a Black boy who healed.
