Synopsis

⛓️ What would you do if your life of freedom was stolen overnight?

Twelve Years a Slave is the extraordinary true account of Solomon Northup, a free African American man living in New York, who was kidnapped in 1841 and sold into slavery. For twelve harrowing years, he endured unimaginable cruelty on Southern plantations before finally regaining his freedom.

This powerful memoir is not only a story of survival but also an unflinching testimony to the brutal realities of slavery in America. With courage, dignity, and resilience, Northup exposes the injustice of human bondage while holding on to his faith in freedom and justice.

Adapted into the Academy Award–winning film, this book remains one of the most important firsthand narratives of slavery ever written—essential reading for understanding history, injustice, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit.

    Why is it that every book about winning in business seems to be written by a male CEO? Probably because over 90% of the leadership positions in the world are held by men.
    Women are not winning at work – but Gill Whitty-Collins wants to change that. Women represent 50% of the world's population, intelligence and competence: why should they not represent 50% of its leadership?
    My goal is that one day you will be one of the women in a room of leaders that is 50% women.
    I know what women need to do to win at work. I share it in keynotes, in workshops, in coaching – now I'm going to share it with you all here.
    In this empowering book, Gill Whitty-Collins builds on her first acclaimed book Why Men Win at Work…and how we can make inequality history and fearlessly tackles all the invisible, unconscious forces that create the male dominant workplace that holds women back.
    Gill draws on her extensive knowledge and experience as a leader, manager, workshop facilitator, coach mentor to equip working women to overcome the career barriers they face. She combines insights, strategies, action plans exercises that will empower and enable you to unleash your full potential and to win at work.
    Think of The How to Win at Work Book as your personal Coaching Manual. Clear, practical and genuinely empowering, it is the career guide that belongs on every professional woman's desk.

    An expansive and accessible account of anarchism as a theory of practice. 
     
     
     
    Means and Ends is a new overview of the revolutionary strategy of anarchism in Europe and the United States between 1868 and 1939. Zoe Baker clearly and accessibly explains the ideas that historical anarchists developed in order to change the world. This includes their views on direct action, revolution, organization, state socialism, reforms, and trade unions. Throughout, she demonstrates that the reasons anarchists gave for supporting or opposing particular strategies were grounded in a theoretical framework—a theory of practice—which maintained that, as people engage in activity, they simultaneously change the world and themselves. This theoretical framework was the foundation for the anarchist commitment to the unity of means and ends: the means that revolutionaries propose to achieve social change have to involve forms of activity which transform people into individuals who are capable of, and driven to, both overthrow capitalism and the state and build a free society. The consistent heart of anarchism was the idea that anarchist ends can only be achieved through anarchist means. Cutting through misconceptions and historical inaccuracies, Baker draws upon a vast assortment of examples to show how this simple premise underpinned anarchist attempts to put theory into action.

    A fierce, provocative collection of poems exploring sexuality, queerness, the body, and disability in an ableist world 
    In this arresting collection, The Cyborg Jillian Weise navigates the intersection of disability and desire, wending her way through diners, bars, and dark living rooms lit by TV screens. Her words flit in and out of DMs, texts, and video chats, exploring the vital human thread that runs through the machines mediating our existence. Weaving personal narrative with cultural commentary and lyricism, these poems blur the line between flesh and technology, centering disabled and queer bodies and challenging our preconceptions of everything from opiate use to BDSM. In Pills and Jacksonvilles, Weise sharply claims “cyborg” as an identity of her own, embracing the space between human and technology and celebrating disabled culture and history. 
    Bold, sexy, and formally exciting, Weise’s poetry lays bare her most intimate self—pulling back the curtain on the loves, losses, and obsessions of a life.

    The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance. 
     
     
     
    "You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. 
     
     
     
    First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-1916 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.
