  Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.

  A unique visual account: “The hour-by-hour maps of the maneuvering and fighting provide the clearest cartographic picture of the battle in existence.” —James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom   In this extraordinary book, seventy crystal-clear color maps and insightful text tell the hour-by-hour story of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. Each map shows the same three-and-a-half-by-four-and-a-half-mile view of the battlefield, allowing the reader to visualize the battle as it developed over the entire area, including key engagements, troop movements and positions, and locations of commanders. It sheds new light on important events such as the first clash west of town on July 1, the fighting for Cemetery Hill, the defense of Little Round Top, Pickett’s Charge, and more.   “The accompanying text brings the battle alive and nicely compliments the maps.” —D. Scott Hartwig, author of To Antietam Creek   “The movements are depicted clearly, and in full color, so that even a complete newcomer to the battle can follow the action easily.”—Craig L. Symonds, author of The American Heritage History of the Battle of Gettysburg

  In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides listeners through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator, which he has watched 146 times. Some fighters might not have time to bleed, but Monson has the patience to consider their adventure, one frame at a time. He turns his obsession into a lens through which he poignantly examines his own life, formed by mainstream, white, male American culture. Between scenes, Monson delves deeply into his adolescence in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Riyadh, his role as a father and the loss of his own mother, and his friendships with men bound by the troubled camaraderie depicted in action and sci-fi blockbusters. Along with excursions into the conflicted pleasures of cosplay and first-person shooters, he imagines himself beside the poet and memoirist Paul Monette, who wrote the novelization of the movie while his partner was dying of AIDS. 
   
   
   
  A sincere and playful book that lovingly dissects the film, Predator also offers questions and critiques of masculinity, fandom, and their interrelation with acts of mass violence. In a stirring reversal, one chapter exposes Monson through the Predator's heat-seeking vision, asking him, "What do you know about the workings of the hidden world?" As Monson brings us into the brilliant depths of the film and its universe, the hunt begins.

  A revealing, news driven account of the Trump Administration’s mass deportation program, featuring never-before-told stories and behind-the-scenes reporting from NBC News’ Senior Homeland Security Correspondent. 
  In Undue Process, NBC’s Senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley takes us inside the Trump White House to show how Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and other anti-immigration hardliners are executing the administration’s mass deportation plan, seemingly prioritizing spectacle and punishment over security and legal constraints. 
  Brimming with revelations from sources within ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, Undue Process is a harrowing chronicle of how the Trump administration aimed to create “the largest deportation force in U.S. history,” only to ignite a resistance within the government and across the country as they redefined the limits of executive power.

  Can Religion Save Democracy? -...

  "Keep religion and politics separate!" For decades, scholars assumed that less religion would lead to a more peaceful and unified form of politics. And yet, as religious identity recedes from American public life, the opposite appears to be the case. Our post-religious politics are growing more polarized, anxious, and unstable each day. Could a return to ancient religious wisdom and community be the key to healing what secular politics can't fix? 
  In Can Religion Save Democracy? two friends and colleagues—a Christian theologian and a Muslim political scientist—make a bold case: If American democracy is going to survive, it will require more religion, not less. Drawing on wisdom from their respective religious traditions, they explorewhy secularism has only deepened our divides,what ancient insights from Christianity and Islam can strengthen our common life,how spiritual practices contribute something critical and irreplaceable to democracy, andhow citizens can navigate a new world of deep polarization and mistrust. 
   
  This is not a call for theocracy or religious authoritarianism. It's a hopeful, clear-eyed vision showing how religious faith offers vital tools to renew the soul of democracy in a divided nation.

  Freedom For All

  In Freedom For All, Neville points freedom inward: true liberation begins when you stop being ruled by appearances and reclaim your inner authority. He argues that you can change your life by changing the concept you hold of yourself; moving from victim of circumstance to the operant power. It’s a motivational, faith-centred call to awaken, assume higher states, and let inner conviction express as outer release.
  
  Freedom as a change of self-concept
  Refusing appearances as final truth
  Inner authority and personal responsibility
  Faith and assumption as practical tools
