  This is a book about life and death over 8,500 years in Ireland. It explores the richness of the mortuary record that we have for Irish prehistory (8000 BC to AD 500) as a highlight of the archaeological record for that long period of time. Because we are dealing with how people coped with death, this rich and diverse record of mortuary practice is also relevant to understanding how we deal with death today, which is just as central a social issue as it always was.

  The Māori and the Pākehā - A...

  The history of New Zealand is deeply shaped by the complex and evolving relationship between the Māori, the country’s Indigenous people, and the Pākehā, the European settlers who arrived in the 18th and 19th centuries. This history is one of resilience, conflict, adaptation, and, ultimately, an ongoing quest for reconciliation. Understanding this shared past is essential to appreciating modern New Zealand’s identity and the challenges that continue to shape its future. 
  The Māori, skilled navigators and settlers from Polynesia, developed a rich and sophisticated culture long before the arrival of Europeans. Their societal structures, traditions, and connection to the land formed the foundation of a thriving civilization. When Pākehā explorers and settlers arrived, they brought not only new technologies and trade but also new challenges. The introduction of muskets, Christianity, and foreign diseases altered the balance of power and drastically reshaped Māori society. 
  One of the most defining moments in New Zealand’s history was the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. This agreement, meant to establish a partnership between Māori and the British Crown, instead became a source of lasting controversy due to differences in interpretation and breaches of its promises. In the decades that followed, land disputes, armed conflicts, and government policies led to the large-scale alienation of Māori land, significantly impacting Māori communities and their way of life.

  The Questions That Matter Most -...

  Long acclaimed as one of America’s preeminent novelists, Jane Smiley is also an unparalleled observer of the craft of writing. In The Questions That Matter Mostthis Pulitzer Prize–winning writer offers steady and penetrating essays on some of the aesthetic and cultural issues that mark any  
  serious engagement with reading and writing. Beginning with a personal introduction tracing Smiley’s migration from Iowa to California, the author reflects on her findings in the varied literature of the Golden State, whose writers have for decades litigated the West’s contested legacies of racism,  
  class conflict, and sexual politics through their pens. 
   
  As she considers the ambiguity of character and the weight of history, her essays provide new entry points into literature, and we lucky readers can see how Smiley draws inspiration from across the literary spectrum to invigorate her own writing.  
   
  With enthusiasm and meticulous attention, Smiley dives beneath surface-level interpretations to examine the works of Marguerite de Navarre, Charles Dickens,Anthony Trollope, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Franz Kafka, Halldór Laxness, and Jessica Mitford.  
  Throughout, Smiley seeks to think harder and, in her words, with “more clarity and nuance” about the questions that matter most.

  Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peace–and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is gonna sting. 
  The legendary activist/comedian and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) bestseller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war. 
  After centuries of oppressing others, white people are in for a surprise: You’re about to be a minority yourself. Yes, the face of America is getting a lot browner—and a reckoning is coming. Black and brown folk are not going to take a back seat anymore. It’s time to lay down your unjust privileges and sue for peace while the getting’s still good. Lucky for America, D.L. Hughley has a plan. 
  On the eve of America becoming a majority-minority nation, Hughley warns, the only way for America to move forward peacefully is if Whites face their history, put aside all their visions of superiority, and open up their institutions so they benefit everyone in this nation.  But we can still have fun with this right?  Surrender, White People! hilariously holds America account for its wrongs and offers his satirical terms for reparations and reconciliation. 
  But it’s not all bad news, white folks. The upside is that if you put D.L.’s plan into effect, you can FINALLY get black people to stop talking about oppression, discrimination, and their place in America. That’s something we can get behind.
