  [How to Recognize Toxic Marriages] pierces through the subtle, insidious nature of marital toxicity with haunting precision and lyrical insight. Like a masterful cartographer mapping unexplored territory, this intimate examination charts the invisible boundaries that slowly constrict within toxic relationships - from the initial silence that settles like dust between two people, to the gradual erosion of self-worth that occurs so slowly you barely notice it happening. Written with unflinching honesty and profound psychological depth, the book illuminates the quiet ways love transforms into a weapon, how shared spaces become battlegrounds, and the sophisticated machinery of control that operates just beneath the surface of everyday interactions. Through its careful dissection of the language of distance, the manipulation of reality, and the weaponization of intimacy, this work serves as both a warning signal and a validation for those caught in the bewildering maze of toxic marriages, offering a vocabulary for experiences that often defy articulation.

  Decades ago, Malcolm X eloquently stated that communities have the legitimate right to defend themselves “by any means necessary” with any tool or tactic, including guns. This wide-ranging anthology uncovers the hidden histories and ideas of community armed self-defense, exploring how it has been used by marginalized and oppressed communities as well as anarchists and radicals within significant social movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 
  Far from a call to arms, or a “how-to” manual for warfare, this volume offers histories, reflections, and questions about the role of firearms in small collective defense efforts and its place in larger efforts toward the creation of autonomy and liberation. 
  Featuring diverse perspectives from movements across the globe, Setting Sights includes vivid histories and personal reflections from both researchers and those who participated in community armed self-defense. Contributors include Dennis Banks, Kathleen Cleaver, Mable Williams, Subcomandante Marcos, Kristian Williams, George Ciccariello-Maher, Ashanti Alston, and many more.

  Idi Amin Dada Oumee (c. 1925 – 16 August 2003) was an Ugandan military officer and politician who served as the third president of Uganda from 1971 to 1979. He ruled as a military dictator and is considered one of the most brutal despots in modern world history. Amin's rule was characterized by rampant human rights abuses, including political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, as well as nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. International observers and human rights groups estimate that between 100,000 and 500,000 people were killed under his regime.

  From 1792 to 1795, George Vancouver sailed the Pacific as the captain of his own expedition and as an agent of imperial ambition. To map a place is to control it, and Britain had its eyes on America's Pacific coast. And map it Vancouver did. His voyage was one of history's greatest feats of maritime daring, discovery, and diplomacy, and his marine survey of Hawaii and the Pacific coast was at its time the most comprehensive ever undertaken. But just two years after returning to Britain, the forty-year-old Vancouver, hounded by critics, shamed by public humiliation at the fists of an aristocratic sailor he had flogged, and blacklisted because of a perceived failure to follow the Admiralty's directives, died in poverty, nearly forgotten. In this riveting and perceptive biography, historian Stephen Bown delves into the events that destroyed Vancouver's reputation and restores his position as one of the greatest explorers of the Age of Discovery.
