  In 1968, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer called for Americans to "wake up" if they wanted to "make democracy a reality." Today, as Black communities continue to face challenges built on centuries of discrimination, her plea is increasingly urgent. In this exhilarating anthology of original essays, Keisha N. Blain brings together the voices of major progressive Black women politicians, grassroots activists, and intellectuals to offer critical insights on how we can create a more equitable political future. 
   
   
   
  These women draw on their diverse experiences and expertise to speak to three core themes: claiming civil and human rights, building political and economic power, and combating all forms of hate. We hear from Black Lives Matter cofounder Alicia Garza, who argues that Black communities must organize to wield increased political power; EMILYs List president Laphonza Butler, who spells out ways to fight for women's reproductive rights; and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who delineates practical, thorough steps toward tangible reparations. Additional incisive essays include those by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner; prison abolitionist Mariame Kaba; disability rights activist Andraéa LaVant; Boston's first woman and first Black mayor, Kim Michelle Janey; and others at the forefront of the ongoing fight for social justice.

  This book contains the following 4 titles: 
  Hooked on Tomorrow - The rapid pace of technological and social change has become the defining characteristic of modern life. We live in an age where innovation is constant, and the desire to keep up with it is almost addictive. From the devices we use daily to the way we communicate, everything is designed to keep us moving forward, often faster than we can comprehend. The term "progress" is no longer just about improvement but about a relentless drive toward the future, regardless of the consequences. 
  Narcissism -  At its core, narcissism is a defense mechanism that helps individuals maintain an exaggerated sense of self-worth. This inflated self-image may stem from deep insecurities or past trauma, and it can be a way for individuals to shield themselves from feelings of inadequacy or vulnerability. Narcissists often rely on external validation—through admiration, praise, and attention—to affirm their worth, which means their sense of self is fragile and dependent on how others perceive them. 
  The Future with Gen Z - Generation Z, often referred to as Gen Z, comprises individuals born roughly between 1997 and 2012. This cohort represents a unique blend of cultural, social, and technological influences, making it distinct from previous generations. Growing up in an era defined by rapid technological advancements and global interconnectedness, Gen Z is the first true generation of digital natives. 
  The Singularity Paradox - Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from the realm of science fiction to become an integral part of modern society, influencing nearly every aspect of human life. This transformative technology, once envisioned as futuristic and far-fetched, is now a driving force behind innovations in industries ranging from healthcare to transportation, and it continues to reshape the way we live and work.

  An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
   
  Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
   
  Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

  Northeaster - A Story of Courage...

  For many, the past few years have been defined by climate disaster. Stories about once-in-a-lifetime hurricanes, floods, fires, droughts, and even snowstorms are now commonplace. But dramatic weather events are not new and Northeaster, Cathie Pelletier's breathtaking account of the 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England, offers a valuable reminder about nature's capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation. 
   
   
   
  Northeaster weaves together a rich cast of characters whose lives were uprooted and endangered by the storm. Housewives and lobstermen, loggers and soldiers were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzard's chaos, there were remarkable acts of heroism and courageous generosities. Doctors braved the storm to help deliver babies. Ordinary people kept their wits while buried in their cars, and others made their way out of forests to find kindhearted strangers willing to take them in. 
   
   
   
  It's likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. But Northeaster shows that we have it inside to fight for survival in some of the harshest conditions that nature has to offer.
