  Who cares about public servants? 
  Brenda Viola does. 
  Why? 
  Because she's walked in your shoes. As a Public Information Officer for a first-ring suburb of Philadelphia, she worked shoulder to shoulder with Municipal Clerks, Librarians, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Building and Planning, Police, Firefighters, Administrators, and Elected Officials. 
  Late-night meetings leading into early mornings and dealing with well-meaning but demanding citizens are just two challenges that can lead to burnout and breakdowns. 
  The Public Servants' Survival Guide is especially for you - the unsung heroes who directly affect the quality of life in a community. You make a difference and impact people, literally, where they live. This is legacy work and while the work may energize you, the demands on your time, energy, and attention could drain even the most resilient.

For any busy person, this book will help you restore joy in your work AND in your life. Instead of heading toward a breakdown, you'll be empowered to prepare for a breakthrough.

  "The Problems of Philosophy" is a book written by Bertrand Russell and first published in 1912. The book is a concise introduction to some of the central problems in philosophy, and it aims to explain them in an accessible way to a general audience. 
  Russell begins by outlining the distinction between appearance and reality, arguing that things are not always as they seem. He then moves on to discuss the nature of knowledge and truth, and explores the question of how we can be sure that our beliefs are justified. 
  Another important topic in the book is the nature of existence, and Russell asks whether the external world is real or simply a construct of our minds. He also discusses the relationship between mind and body, and the problem of free will. 
  Russell's writing is clear and straightforward, and he uses examples and analogies to help the reader understand complex philosophical concepts. While the book is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of all philosophical problems, it provides an excellent introduction to some of the most important issues in the field, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy.

  Empire of Purity - The History...

  Between the 1870s and 1930s, American social reformers, working closely with the US government, transformed sexual vice into an international political and humanitarian concern. As these activists worked to eradicate prostitution and trafficking, they promoted sexual self-control for both men and women as a cornerstone of civilization and a basis of American exceptionalism. Empire of Purity traces the history of these efforts, showing how the policing and penalization of sexuality was used to justify American interventions around the world. 
   
   
   
  Eva Payne describes how American reformers successfully pushed for international anti-trafficking agreements that mirrored US laws, calling for states to criminalize prostitution and restrict migration, and harming the very women they claimed to protect. She argues that Americans' ambitions to reshape global sexual morality and law advanced an ideology of racial hierarchy that viewed women of color, immigrants, and sexual minorities as dangerous vectors of disease. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on archives in Europe, the United States, and Latin America, Empire of Purity ties the war on sexual vice to American imperial ambitions and a politicization of sexuality that continues to govern both domestic and international policy today.

  Welcome to Thomas Cromwell: England's Mastermind, an introduction into one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of Tudor England. Over the course of this series, we’ll explore Cromwell’s journey from a blacksmith’s son in Putney to the heights of power as King Henry VIII’s chief minister. Cromwell’s story is one of ambition, ingenuity, and risk—qualities that reshaped the English church, monarchy, and society in ways that still resonate today. 
  Cromwell was not a nobleman by birth, but his keen intellect and strategic thinking brought him to the center of the Tudor court, a place where ambition could be both a blessing and a curse. He helped Henry VIII break from Rome, orchestrated the dissolution of the monasteries, and navigated the dangerous waters of court politics. Yet, for all his successes, Cromwell’s rise came at a cost: he made powerful enemies, took extraordinary risks, and ultimately faced a dramatic fall from grace.
