  The work of a lifetime from the Tony Award–winning, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues—political, personal, profound, and more than forty years in the making. 
   
   
   
  The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, the personal to the political, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifelong journals that takes listeners from Berlin to Oklahoma to the Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family. 
   
   
   
  Unflinching, intimate, introspective, courageous, Reckoning explores ways to create an unstoppable force for change, to love and survive love, to hold people and states accountable, to reckon with demons and honor the dead, to reclaim the body, and to see oneself as connected to a greater purpose. It reimagines what seems fixed and intractable, providing a path to understand one's unique experience as deeply rooted in the world, to break through one's own boundaries, and to write oneself into freedom.

  “In this short story, you will see the tender heart of love and careful words of instruction of Mother. The law of kindness is on Mother’s tongue. She demonstrates watchful protection over Cammy and Sammy as she daily is in their presence. Parents can easily relate the mother’s heart, akin to the heart of Jesus as He is to His children. A wonderful and useful book. Had I had this book when my children were small, I certainly would have made use of it. I highly recommend this for all ages!” Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grand babies.“Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee’s hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children’s story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers.” Pastor Jeff Durbin- married father of four, sought after for his debate skills and also the main host of ApologiaRadio.com“Mara-lee has peeked into a child’s inquiring mind and has given solid answers to questions about how to hear and respond to God’s voice. Children will love the way Cammy’s Adventures introduces them to new experiences in their lives. This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom.” Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.

  Fat Off Fat On - A Big Bitch...

  In this disarming and candid memoir, cultural critic Clarkisha Kent unpacks the kind of compounded problems you face when you’re a fat, Black, queer woman in a society obsessed with heteronormativity. 
   
  There was no easy way for Kent to navigate personal discovery and self-love. As a dark-skinned, first-generation American facing a myriad of mental health issues and intergenerational trauma, at times Kent’s body felt like a cosmic punishment. In the face of body dysmorphia, homophobia, anti-Blackness, and respectability politics, the pursuit of “high self-esteem” seemed oxymoronic. 
   
  Fat Off, Fat On: A Big Bitch Manifesto is a humorous, at times tragic, memoir that follows Kent on her journey to realizing that her body is a gift to be grown into, that sometimes family doesn’t always mean home, and how even ill-fated bisexual romances could free her from gender essentialism. Perfect for readers of Keah Brown’s The Pretty One, Alida Nugent’s You Don’t Have to Like Me, and Stephanie Yeboah’s Fattily Ever After, Kent’s debut explores her own lived experiences to illuminate how fatphobia intertwines with other oppressions. It stresses the importance of addressing the violence scored upon our minds and our bodies, and how we might begin the difficult—but joyful—work of setting ourselves free.

  The Intimacy of Power: An...

  Have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in the corridors of power during a major crisis or after a ministerial reshuffle? How do new government ministers get to grips with their portfolios and priorities? Who guides and supports them? And why, sometimes – during events such as 'Partygate' – do things go wrong?
  In this meticulously researched book, former senior civil servant Alun Evans lifts the lid on a vital but little-known cog in the machinery of government: private office and the private secretaries who work within it.
  Private secretaries exercise huge influence, and yet most of us have never heard of them. They are the ones who manage the flow of work, who whisper quietly in ministers' ears and who have been Prime Ministers' closest, most trusted and most discreet confidants. At critical moments in our national history – from the Falklands War to the Westland affair, from Black Wednesday to the 2008 financial crash, from New Labour to the coalition government – they have been central but hidden players.
  With exceptional access to former Prime Ministers and decision-makers, Evans explores what private office is and why it matters to British democracy. He argues that following the egregious constitutional breaches of Boris Johnson's premiership, private office must once again be taken seriously so it can return to being the independent junction box of government and a vital part of the British constitution.

  Feudalism: An Overview - The...

  Feudalism is often regarded as one of the defining features of medieval European society, deeply influencing the social, political, and economic structures from the 9th to the 15th century. At its core, feudalism is a system of reciprocal relationships based on land ownership, loyalty, and service. It is a hierarchical structure where power and land are distributed among various levels of society, creating an intricate web of obligations and rights. Understanding the foundations of feudalism requires examining its emergence, the key concepts involved, and its significance in shaping medieval societies. 
  The origins of feudalism can be traced back to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century. With the fall of centralized Roman authority, European territories faced instability and frequent invasions, notably from the Vikings, Magyars, and Muslims. As local rulers sought to protect their lands and people, they established systems of landholding that were based on personal loyalty rather than the centralized control of a king or emperor. This shift marked the beginning of feudalism. The need for defense and local governance led to a system where lords granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals in exchange for military service or other forms of support. The vassals, in turn, would offer protection and land to lower-ranking individuals, establishing a hierarchical pyramid of power. 
  At the heart of feudalism lies the concept of mutual obligations. Lords, who were often nobility or monarchs, provided land to their vassals, who were typically knights or lesser nobles. In return, vassals pledged their loyalty, military service, and counsel to their lords.
