This comprehensive book delves into the historical, legal, and societal factors that have shaped the experiences of women in the country, offering a nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities that women have faced in their pursuit of equal rights and opportunities.

With rigorous analysis and compelling storytelling, this book takes readers on a journey through the evolving landscape of gender roles in America. From the historical foundations of gender norms to the contemporary debates surrounding gender equality, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the forces that have shaped women's lives.

Through in-depth analysis of landmark Supreme Court cases, federal and state laws, and international agreements, the book examines the legal framework for gender equality in the United States. It explores the impact of these laws and policies on women's lives, highlighting both the progress that has been made and the challenges that remain.

The book also delves into the complex relationship between gender and various aspects of American life, including the workplace, politics, education, healthcare, and media. It examines the gender pay gap, the underrepresentation of women in politics, the gender gap in educational attainment, gender disparities in health outcomes, and the portrayal of gender in the media.

Furthermore, the book recognizes the importance of intersectionality, acknowledging that gender inequality intersects with other forms of social inequality, such as race, class, and disability. It explores how these intersections create unique challenges and barriers for women from marginalized communities.

Women's Advancement in Modern America is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of gender roles and public policy in the United States. It is a call to action for those who are committed to creating a more just and equitable society for all.

Out of Italy - Two Centuries of...

Fernand Braudel

From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
 
 
 
In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

Make Enterprise Great Again: The...

Saji Madapat, EPM Mavericks

It’s halftime America! 
Ay Yi Yai Yi! We are in the middle of The New World Order! 
Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next. 
Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures. 
If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious Empire - the Middle Kingdom of China - will consume us; sending their errand boys to collect bills from the US and over a hundred other countries that it has economically and digitally colonized since the Economic Tsunami of 2008, through “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) to its “Digital Silk Road” (DSR). 
“Make Enterprise Great Again” digs into the foundations of capitalism and traces the ideals, triumphs and zeitgeist of the Roosevelt years in order to “Build Back Better” – and to save us from the impending Fourth Reich. 
 Yeah! It's halftime, America!

Xia Dynasty - The Myth and...

Rolf Hedger

The Xia Dynasty is often considered the first dynasty of China, marking the transition from a prehistoric era dominated by tribal alliances to a structured monarchy. However, much of what is known about the Xia comes from ancient texts written centuries later, blurring the line between history and legend. At the heart of this foundation myth is Yu the Great, a figure credited with taming the catastrophic floods that once plagued the Yellow River region.
According to traditional accounts, China before the Xia was ruled by the Five Emperors, semi-mythical sages who brought order and knowledge to early societies. The final ruler of this period, Emperor Shun, recognized Yu for his brilliance and appointed him to control the devastating floods that had threatened agricultural settlements for generations. Unlike his predecessors, who attempted to block or divert the waters, Yu devised a system of dredging and canal-building that allowed the floodwaters to drain naturally into rivers and the sea. His efforts reportedly took over a decade, during which he traveled across the land, surveying the terrain and directing large-scale labor projects. His selfless dedication won him the admiration of the people, and his success in flood control cemented his reputation as a leader with the Mandate of Heaven.
The concept of the Mandate of Heaven, though later fully developed under the Zhou Dynasty, has its roots in the Xia period. It suggested that rulers were chosen by divine will and that their legitimacy depended on their ability to maintain order and prosperity. Yu's ability to tame the floods demonstrated both his virtue and his right to rule. Upon Emperor Shun’s abdication, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, establishing a hereditary monarchy that would continue for generations.
