  A moving and heroic memoir about surviving suicide and long-term mental health complications, while summoning the courage required to persist in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles and spread a message of positivity. 
   
  Lost in the depths of a devastating depression, Kevin Hines did the unthinkable and jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge. He is one of only four to ever have survived that jump with his full health and mobility intact. Hines then went on to accomplish what had formerly seemed impossible: he has dedicated his life to suicide prevention, reaching audiences well into the millions. With the help of his wife and family, he has spread his message of compassion and fighting to “be here tomorrow” on Good Morning America, the Today show, Larry King, and BuzzFeed, as well as countless other in-person speaking venues. 
   
  Going far beyond his first book, The Art of Being Broken takes full advantage of the perspective Kevin has gained since his suicide attempt. In this new story, we learn that recovery is not a straight path but a constant journey, and often the best way to help ourselves stay grounded is by helping others in need. Including raw and moving contributions from those whose lives Kevin has saved, The Art of Being Broken will be indispensable for all those who are grappling with suicidal ideation and provides key insights to their loved ones.

  The Making of a Democratic...

  Our economy is designed by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent. This book offers a compelling vision of an equitable, ecologically sustainable alternative that meets the essential needs of all people. 
   
  Seventy-one percent of the American people say the economy is rigged against them, and they're right. Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard describe the current economic system as the Extractive Economy-it enables the financial elite to extract maximum gain for themselves, heedless of any damage to people or planet. As an alternative, they offer the Democratic Economy, which is responsive to the concerns of ordinary people and balances human consumption with the regenerative capacity of the earth. 
   
  Kelly and Howard lay out seven principles of a Democratic Economy: Community, Inclusion, Place (keeping wealth local), Good Work (putting labor before capital), Democratized Ownership, Ethical Finance, and Sustainability. The book pairs each principle with a portrait of a place where it is being put into practice, from Pine Ridge to Portland to Cleveland to Preston, England, and more. This is a powerful, coherent, and achievable vision of an economy that serves the many, not the few.

  The African Campaign - Battles...

  The North African Campaign, which unfolded between 1940 and 1943, was a pivotal series of battles and military operations during World War II. Spanning vast desert landscapes, the struggle for control of North Africa became a key theatre of war, involving significant military forces from the Axis Powers—primarily Germany and Italy—and the Allied forces, including Great Britain, the United States, and various Commonwealth nations. The campaign’s significance went beyond the battles themselves; it had a profound impact on the broader strategies of World War II, shaping both the fortunes of the combatants and the postwar political landscape. 
    
  At the heart of the North African Campaign was the desert itself. The harsh conditions—extreme temperatures, limited water, and vast, featureless terrain—made it a unique battlefield where traditional warfare tactics were often less effective. The landscape dictated strategy and logistics, placing a premium on mobility and resourcefulness. The campaign saw the rise of new tactics and the introduction of novel technologies that would influence the outcome of the war. 
    
  The struggle for control of North Africa was strategically vital for several reasons. The region provided access to key shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, which were crucial for the transportation of troops and supplies between Europe and the Middle East. Additionally, North Africa was rich in natural resources, particularly oil, which became increasingly important as the war progressed. For the Axis powers, particularly Germany, securing North Africa was seen as a stepping stone toward further advances into the Middle East and the oil fields of the Caucasus. For the Allies, controlling the region was vital to prevent the Axis from gaining a foothold in the Suez Canal and threatening British colonial interests in Asia and Africa.

  First compiled in the 6th century BC, The Art of War presents a philosophy of war for managing conflicts and winning battles.
