Each piece offers unique insights into the aspirations and ethical dilemmas of eugenics, providing a fascinating, albeit controversial, glimpse into a period where science and social engineering intertwined at the heights of modernism. The compilation is curated by authoritative figures Paul Popenoe and Roswell H. Johnson, whose expertise in eugenics and human biology shapes this seminal work. Their academic prowess provides a cohesive examination of eugenic theories, profoundly influencing contemporary socio-biological dialogues.

Its diverse perspectives invite readers into an engaging dialogue on ethics and human potential, making it an invaluable resource for students of history, sociology, and ethics.

    When James Wright was diagnosed with ALS, his world shifted in an instant. But rather than surrender to fear, he chose to reshape the narrative. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is a candid and powerful account of what it means to live with purpose in the face of uncertainty. With heartfelt honesty, James explores the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of navigating a life-changing diagnosis. He shares how faith became a steady anchor, how language redefined his identity, and how daily affirmations and scripture offered strength on the hardest days. He opens a window into the everyday adaptations that allow him to maintain independence, the value of alternative therapies, and the essential role of community and family. Through it all, James challenges readers to see possibilities where others see limitations. His story is not one of surrender, but of resolve. It’s about finding peace in the unknown, building a legacy through entrepreneurship, building a resolve through faith and choosing joy— again and again. Whether you are facing illness yourself, supporting a loved one, or searching for a deeper understanding of resilience, this book offers a rare and uplifting perspective. ‘Anchored to Hope’ is more than a memoir. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of struggle, life remains full of meaning, beauty, and hope.

Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal.

    Prayed Upon, a true story depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills; beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.

    This intimate and unflinching memoir explores Wen's struggle to survive, and confronts the belief that people don't change. Through appalling abuse and neglect, Wen finds a way to a very different kind of life, embodying resilience, healing and transformation. 
    The story is woven through with the intriguing themes of Wen's life. With humility, understanding and beauty, she delves into the plight of a stammerer, the unbreakable bonds of twinship, and her body's need to dissociate. 
    Wen's evocative imagery transports the reader from the red dirt of Broome, to the streets of India and the mists of Scotland. She crosses the continents, often by bicycle, committing to radical political action and spiritual exploration. These pursuits help forge her growing character. 
    After settling in Scotland, she uncovers buried memories of a terrifying Queensland childhood shrouded in threats and lies, and of her father's links to a Brisbane paedophile gang. 
    'To the outside world, we were the picture-perfect family. No one would have believed me, even if I could have found the words.' 
    She doesn't recoil from facing the truth of her childhood or the unconscionable harm her parents perpetuated. 
    Wen tells how she found her way to her heart and her true gender self. In doing so, she celebrates the power of kindness. Stammering Against Truth is a powerful and empowering book that proves past traumas need not define our futures.

    The Grateful Dead were one of the most successful live acts of the rock era. Performing more than 2,300 shows between 1965 and 1995, the Grateful Dead's reputation as a "live band" was—and continues to be—sustained by thousands of live concert recordings from every era of the group's long and colorful career. In Live Dead, musicologist John Brackett examines how live recordings—from the group's official releases to fan-produced tapes, bootlegs to "Betty Boards," and Dick's Picks to From the Vault—have shaped the general history and popular mythology of the Grateful Dead for more than fifty years. Drawing on a diverse array of materials and documents contained in the Grateful Dead Archive, Live Dead details how live recordings became meaningful among the band and their fans not only as sonic souvenirs of past musical performances but also as expressions of assorted ideals, including notions of "liveness," authenticity, and the power of recorded sound.
