Summary

Trust Thyself and Awaken the Divinity Within.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was the "Sage of Concord" and the intellectual father of the American Renaissance. At a time of rigid social and religious tradition, he issued a radical call for individual autonomy and a direct, unmediated relationship with the universe. This comprehensive collection brings together his most influential essays, lectures, and poetry, offering a timeless blueprint for living with purpose, integrity, and intellectual freedom.

This collection explores the pillars of Emerson's revolutionary thought:

The Gospel of Self-Reliance: Discover the classic arguments for non-conformity, intuition, and the courage to follow one's own internal compass against the tide of public opinion.

Nature as a Mirror of the Soul: Explore Emerson's profound belief that the natural world is a physical manifestation of the spiritual, serving as the ultimate teacher for those who know how to see.

The Concept of the Over-Soul: Delve into the metaphysical heart of Transcendentalism—the idea of a collective, divine unity that flows through all living things.

The Power of the Intellect and Art: Engage with his visions for a truly original American culture, urging scholars and creators to stop looking toward the past and begin building a new future.

Emerson's prose is characterized by its "radiant" energy and aphoristic brilliance. His work served as the catalyst for a new American identity, influencing figures from Henry David Thoreau to Walt Whitman. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of philosophy, spirituality, and classic American thought.

He offers antidotes to the angry, repetitive, and unproductive arguments that now dominate our political culture. Barish teaches us how to listen, think, and speak about our political opinions in a way that allows us to understand each other's concerns, resist false dichotomies and ideological certainty, see new perspectives and possibilities, and find common ground. The concluding chapter shows how we can move beyond partisan divisions toward pragmatic solutions and a better future for America's children. 
 
 
 
This fundamentally hopeful book is an essential listen for students in all areas of study, for professionals in the fields of conflict resolution, communication, political science, and social psychology, and for anyone seeking to improve the quality of their conversations with people who may disagree with them, in both politics and in their personal relationships.

    When a seven-million-vote margin of victory and 306 electoral votes pointed to Joe Biden as the victor in the 2020 Presidential Election, Trump-fueled conspiracy theories exploded. 
 
  
 
In The Big Truth, CBS's Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett and the nation's foremost elections expert David Becker completely upend The Big Lie that has infected the Far Right with firsthand stories of election officials like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, election director Thomas Freitag. And they reveal the concrete evidence proving that 2020 may have been the most secure US election ever. But Garrett and Becker go beyond the key players from all six swing states, the pre-election litigation that clarified the rules for both parties, and the fully auditable and verifiable ballots used. They lay bare the methods being undertaken right now to undercut faith, belief, and effectiveness of elections, identifying the places where the most dire actions have been taken since 2020—where election laws have been changed; or election officials been hounded out of office, retired out of frustration/fatigue, or been replaced by pro-Trump political figures.

    "Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century." —Robin D. G. Kelley 
 
 
 
Perfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal—an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. 
 
 
 
Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. 
 
 
 
Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. 
 
 
 
How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.
