  • The Radical Imagination of Black Women - Ambition Politics and Power - cover

    The Radical Imagination of Black...

    Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.

    In this controversial book, Kersey Graves presents a historical and comparative analysis of the concept of Satan in various religious traditions. The book explores the origins of the devil figure, tracing its roots in ancient mythologies and religious beliefs. "The Biography of Satan" challenges conventional religious interpretations and sheds light on the diverse and evolving perceptions of evil and temptation throughout human history. Key Aspects of the Book "The Biography of Satan": Religious History: Graves' book provides a comprehensive study of the concept of Satan in different religious and mythological contexts. The author examines the symbolic significance and interpretations of Satan in ancient and modern belief systems. Controversial Perspectives: "The Biography of Satan" presents alternative viewpoints on the devil figure, encouraging readers to critically examine religious narratives and their cultural implications. Kersey Graves is best known for his controversial works on comparative religion, mythology, and freethought. Graves' writings challenged conventional religious beliefs and sought to promote a more rational and humanistic worldview. His works, including "The Biography of Satan," contributed to discussions on the evolution of religious ideas and the role of mythology in shaping cultural beliefs. The Biography of Satan is a lovely collection of lore, logic, and philosophy, dating to the middle of the rational days of the 19th century. Within this work, Kersey Graves lays waste to the doctrine of eternal Hell and the very concept of a Satan, claiming that it is, within proper tradition, the Christian god himself who is the architect of evil and suffering. With numerous references to linguistics, pagan lore, and then-modern historical science, Graves' work deserves far more attention from the world at large; and for those interested in the occult, and in magic, the comprehension of proper demonology requires such concepts to be understood.

    The Shocking Truth about Aging...

    Aging is a natural process that affects every living organism, yet the intricate mechanisms behind it remain one of biology's most profound mysteries. At its core, aging is the accumulation of changes in our bodies over time, leading to a gradual decline in physical and functional capabilities. This chapter delves into the foundational science of aging, exploring how it unfolds on a cellular and molecular level and the biological theories that attempt to explain it. 
    One of the most noticeable aspects of aging is the way our cells behave as we grow older. Cellular aging is driven by several factors, including the shortening of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Each time a cell divides, telomeres become shorter, eventually leading to a state called senescence, where cells stop dividing altogether. Senescent cells can release harmful chemicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage, accelerating the aging process. 
    Another key aspect of aging is the accumulation of cellular damage. Over time, cells are exposed to harmful agents such as free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced during normal metabolic processes. This damage, if not effectively repaired, can affect DNA, proteins, and cellular membranes, leading to the gradual breakdown of systems critical for maintaining health and vitality.

    A profound meditation on memory and the preservation of Palestinian heritage, from the award-winning author of We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I. 
     
     
     
    Forgotten uncovers the hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine—now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories—and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on the small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. 
     
     
     
    From ancient city ruins to the Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialized, and what lies unseen, abandoned, or erased—and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land. 
     
     
     
    In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba—the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians—but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.
