Deb Haaland

Yet Haaland has embraced every opportunity, knowing that each step forward lifts up those who are too often left out of the conversation.A 35th-generation New Mexican and member of the Pueblo of Laguna, Haaland has lived a remarkable life shaped by poverty, alcoholism, and single parenthood. After a late but meteoric rise in politics, she stepped down from her cabinet position as Secretary of the Interior in January 2025 and is now running for Governor of New Mexico in the 2026 election.In A Voice Like Mine—titled after Haaland’s congressional campaign slogan, “Congress has never heard a voice like mine”—she shares the personal history that shaped her courage to organize, run for office, and lead. She tells the stories that have defined her life in politics and beyond, from her grandfather’s cornfield, where she learned the importance of hard work and care for the earth, to the oak-paneled halls of Washington, D.C. Throughout her journey, Haaland has drawn on her heritage in her activism and service, leading with humility, purpose, and a commitment to “leave the ladder down” for those who follow.

KNOW ABOUT "ARISTOTLE" - An...

Saurabh Singh Chauhan

This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to the captivating journey through the life and wisdom of one of history's most remarkable minds—Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher. As we step back in time, we'll uncover the profound insights and contributions that have left an indelible mark on philosophy, science, and our understanding of the world. 
Aristotle's tale begins in the ancient city of Stagira, nestled in Macedonia. Born in 384 BCE, this curious young soul would grow to be a beacon of knowledge, illuminating the path for generations to come. From his early days, it was clear that he possessed a thirst for understanding the very essence of existence. 
Venturing to Athens, Aristotle found his intellectual haven at Plato's Academy. There, his agile mind soaked in the teachings of the great Plato, forging a solid foundation for his own ideas. And so, our journey takes flight—a journey that sees Aristotle evolve from a keen learner to a brilliant thinker who challenged convention and explored the secrets of nature.
