    The more citizens trust their government, the better democracy functions. However, African Americans have long suffered from the lack of equal protection by their government, and the racial discrimination they have faced breaks down their trust in democracy. Rather than promoting democracy, the United States government has, from its inception, racially discriminated against African American citizens and other racial groups, denying them equal access to citizenship and to protection of the law. Civil rights violations by ordinary citizens have also tainted social relationships between racial groups—social relationships that should be meaningful for enhancing relations between citizens and the government at large. Thus, trust and democracy do not function in American politics the way they should, in part because trust is not color blind. Based on the premise that racial discrimination breaks down trust in a democracy, Trust in Black America examines the effect of race on African Americans' lives. Shayla Nunnally analyzes public opinion data from two national surveys to provide an updated and contemporary analysis of African Americans' political socialization, and to explore how African Americans learn about race. She argues that the uncertainty, risk, and unfairness of institutionalized racial discrimination has led African Americans to have a fundamentally different understanding of American race relations, so much so that distrust has been the basis for which race relations have been understood by African Americans. Nunnally empirically demonstrates that race and racial discrimination have broken down trust in American democracy.

    A look at the role of state policies in North-South economic divergence and in American industrial development leading up to the Civil War. 
     
    In 1796, famed engineer and architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe toured the coal fields outside Richmond, Virginia, declaring enthusiastically, “Such a mine of Wealth exists, I believe, nowhere else!” With its abundant and accessible deposits, growing industries, and network of rivers and ports, Virginia stood poised to serve as the center of the young nation’s coal trade. By the middle of the nineteenth century, however, Virginia’s leadership in the American coal industry had completely unraveled while Pennsylvania, at first slow to exploit its vast reserves of anthracite and bituminous coal, had become the country’s leading producer. 
     
    Sean Patrick Adams compares the political economies of coal in Virginia and Pennsylvania from the late eighteenth century through the Civil War, examining the divergent paths these two states took in developing their ample coal reserves during a critical period of American industrialization. In both cases, Adams finds, state economic policies played a major role. Virginia’s failure to exploit the rich coal fields in the western part of the state can be traced to the legislature’s overriding concern to protect and promote the interests of the agrarian, slaveholding elite of eastern Virginia. Pennsylvania’s more factious legislature enthusiastically embraced a policy of economic growth that resulted in the construction of an extensive transportation network, a statewide geological survey, and support for private investment in its coal fields. 
     
    Using coal as a barometer of economic change, Old Dominion, Industrial Commonwealth addresses longstanding questions about North-South economic divergence and the role of state government in American industrial development.

    A beloved chef takes on institutional food and sparks a revolution
    		 
    Good food generally doesn’t arrive on a tray: hospital food is famously ridiculed, chronic student hunger is deemed a rite of passage, and prison meals are considered part of the punishment. But Chef Joshna Maharaj knows that institutional kitchens have the ability to produce good, nourishing food, because she’s been making it happen over the past 14 years. She’s served meals to people who’d otherwise go hungry, baked fresh scones for maternity ward mothers, and dished out wholesome, scratch-made soups to stressed-out undergrads. She’s determined to bring health, humanity, and hospitality back to institutional food while also building sustainability, supporting the local economy, and reinvigorating the work of frontline staff.
    		 
    Take Back the Tray is part manifesto, part memoir from the trenches, and a blueprint for reclaiming control from corporations and brutal bottom lines. Maharaj reconnects food with health, wellness, education, and rehabilitation in a way that serves people, not just budgets, and proves change is possible with honest, sustained commitment on all levels, from government right down to the person sorting the trash. The need is clear, the time is now, and this revolution is delicious.

    As belief in the righteousness of the human life related to the ancient precedents in several religions across the world, the concept of the human rights in modernized terms had begun during the time of Renaissance humanism at the time of the early period of modern life. The wars of Europe for religion along with the civil wars during the 17th century in England had given rise to the philosophy of human rights, freedom, and liberalism. These also led to the potential belief in the human rights that gradually become the focus of the intellectual culture in the entire Europe during the time of the 18th century at the Age of Enlightenment. Such ideas and concepts of the human rights at been lying at the core of the French as well as the American revolutions. These revolutions had occurred at the time of the end of the particular century. The democratic evolution across the period of the 19th century had paved the path for the introduction of the universal suffrage at the time of the 20th century. The two wars of the worlds had also led to the establishment of the UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights).

    With American Marxism (2021), Mark R. Levin aims to awaken millions of patriotic Americans to the reality of Marxist influences that are rapidly taking over the United States. He finds that the Marxist movement is not a temporary fad, but is pervasive in attempting to destroy American society and overthrow the country altogether. Levin asserts that most Americans are unaware of the way Marxists operate, so he has gathered evidence to expose them, using their own activities, writings, and arguments against them. He then issues a call to tactical actions that can be taken so that, with the help of an aware nation, their attempt at tyranny will fail.
