  What if the hero of World War II wasn’t as heroic as history remembers? 
  Winston Churchill is widely celebrated as the indomitable leader who stood against tyranny and rallied a nation in its darkest hour. But behind the rousing speeches and iconic persona lies a far more complicated figure—one whose decisions, beliefs, and actions raise hard questions about power, privilege, and morality. 
  The Dark Side of Winston Churchill strips away the myth to reveal the man—and forces us to confront the full truth of his legacy. 
  This provocative and deeply researched book examines the contradictions, controversies, and consequences of Churchill’s political career, from his involvement in the Bengal Famine and colonial repression to his perspectives on race, empire, and social class. Drawing on primary sources, personal letters, and historical records, it paints a nuanced portrait of a man revered by some and reviled by others. 
  Inside, you’ll discover: 
  How Churchill’s imperialist ideology shaped British policies from India to Africa 
  His controversial decisions during World War II—and their human cost 
  The political maneuvering and rhetoric that built his myth while obscuring uncomfortable truths 
  How Churchill’s legacy continues to influence modern politics, nationalism, and historical memory 
  History isn’t just what we remember—it’s also what we choose to forget.

  Generosity - The Joy of Giving -...

  Generosity is more than a simple act of giving; it is a way of life that touches every facet of our human experience. It begins with an open heart that is willing to see the needs of others and a spirit that recognizes the beauty in sharing. When we choose to be generous, we are not merely offering material support, but we are also extending compassion, hope, and a sense of belonging to those around us. 
  At its core, generosity stems from an understanding of our interconnectedness. Each act of kindness creates ripples that extend far beyond the initial gesture, fostering a community built on trust and empathy. In a world that often emphasizes individual success, embracing the spirit of generosity means shifting our focus toward collective well-being. This shift encourages us to see the value in every life and reminds us that our actions can inspire profound change in both ourselves and the communities we serve. 
  The spirit of generosity is nurtured by an inner belief that every blessing, whether big or small, is meant to be shared. This belief drives us to look for opportunities to help others, even in times when we ourselves face challenges. Generosity is not reserved for moments of abundance; it can flourish in the most humble settings, turning everyday interactions into powerful expressions of human kindness. It teaches us that giving is not a burden but a joyous practice that enriches our lives and deepens our connections with others.

  A behind-the-scenes look at how digital surveillance is affecting the trucking way of life. 
   
   
   
  Long-haul truckers are the backbone of the American economy, transporting goods under grueling conditions and immense economic pressure. Truckers have long valued the independence of their work, sharing a strong occupational identity rooted in a tradition of autonomy. Yet these workers increasingly find themselves under many watchful eyes. Data Driven examines how digital surveillance is upending life and work on the open road, and raises crucial questions about the role of data collection in broader systems of social control. 
   
   
   
  Karen Levy takes listeners inside a world few ever see, painting a bracing portrait of one of the last great American frontiers. Federal regulations now require truckers to buy and install digital monitors that capture data about their locations and behaviors. Intended to address the pervasive problem of trucker fatigue by regulating the number of hours driven each day, these devices support additional surveillance by trucking firms and other companies. Traveling from industry trade shows to law offices and truck-stop bars, Levy reveals how these invasive technologies are reconfiguring industry relationships and providing new tools for managerial and legal control—and how truckers are challenging and resisting them.

  Out of Italy - Two Centuries of...

  Fernand Braudel

  From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
   
   
   
  In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

  Through this collection of essays, author and activist Reagan Jackson, chronicles her journey into the world of journalism. Art, cinema, social justice, feminism, Black reparations, health & reproductive rights, dance, education—while Jackson’s subjects range far and wide, her writing brings an intimacy & immediacy to all. 
  Equal parts personal testament, structural interrogation, and social criticism, Reagan Jackson’s Still True inspires in its singularity. Jackson writes with a powerful sense of history and a wide-ranging vision, capturing a Seattle in flux, where processes of inequality, gentrification, and police violence occur alongside community struggle, vivid resistance, and countless episodes of joy. We should all hope that voices like hers blossom throughout our communities. This book is a gift to all readers and writers—aspiring, established, or otherwise. ~Sonora Jha, author of The Laughter 
  Reagan Jackson writes from the crossroads of journalism, memoir, activism, and everyday life in these raw and wild times. Jackson is a pioneer for what “writing the first draft of history” looks like in an intersectional world and a model of how media can help build the communities and worlds of the future.  
  ~Sarah Stuteville, Co-Founder of the Seattle Globalist
