    END OF HISTORY AND THE LAST MAN...

    Francis Fukuyama

    In The End of History and the Last Man, political scientist Francis Fukuyama presents one of the most provocative theses of the contemporary era: after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, liberal democracy not only emerged as the dominant political model, but also represents the culmination of humanity’s ideological evolution. 
    With clear prose and rigorous argumentation, Fukuyama draws on thinkers such as Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche to develop an ambitious vision: if history is a struggle of ideas, then liberalism has triumphed over its rivals—fascism and communism—on political, economic, and moral grounds. From this perspective, humanity has reached its ultimate form of organization, at least structurally. 
    However, this claim is neither triumphalist nor naive. Fukuyama acknowledges the challenges that liberal democracies face: nationalism, religion, economic inequality, and especially the threat of the “last man,” a passive, conformist figure concerned solely with personal well-being. The author warns that although liberal ideology has prevailed, the human yearning for recognition, identity, and purpose remains alive. History may have ended, but human dilemmas persist. 
    This book offers not only a deep historical and philosophical reading but also challenges the reader with fundamental questions: What does it mean to be free? Can a society live without transcendent ideals? Are we condemned to comfort, or are we capable of reinventing our purpose? 
    Ideal for readers interested in politics, philosophy, contemporary history, and social theory, this work has become a classic of modern political thought. A brilliant, controversial, and deeply relevant text that invites reflection on humanity’s destiny in an age of uncertainty.

    Walks Like A Duck - How a Mom...

    Kim R. Livingston

    When her son's teacher suggests the boy be tested for ADHD, Kim Livingston, uninformed and wary of the label, fights her. She fights the social worker, the doctor. "We can call it whatever you like," the doctor says. "But if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, they're all going to know he's a duck." 
     
     
     
    This English professor grew up spacey and overweight. Drowning in the unrealistic demands of motherhood, Livingston steals her son's ADHD medication and watches it transform her life—for good and bad. 
     
     
     
    She grows weary of subjective diagnoses and chemical treatments from traditional psychology experts, and experiments with functional medicine—brain mapping and nutritional supplements—as a way to understand her brain's potential, bio-hacking her way to a healthy body and mind. 
     
     
     
    Kim Livingston's story is for the overextended, out-of-shape parent embarrassed over their messy house, or worried whether to medicate their children; and for teachers who seek insight into the mind of that quiet back-row student. It includes frustration, denial, some bold decisions—moments many listeners will recognize in their own lives.

    Stalking the Atomic City - Life...

    Since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, the area remains a toxic, forbidden wasteland. The zone has become a place for meditation at the edge of geography where you can lose yourself. As with all dangerous places, this terra incognita attracts a wild assortment of adventurers who climb over the barbed wire illegally to witness the aftermath of catastrophe in the flesh. Breaking the law here is a pilgrimage: a metamodern sacred experience that coexists with thrash. 
     
     
     
    Markiyan Kamysh, whose father worked as an on-site disaster liquidator of Chornobyl, works as a "stalker," guiding people who dare to venture into the disaster area for thrills. Kamysh tells us about thieves who hide in the abandoned buildings, the policemen who chase them, and the romantic utopists who have built families here, even as deadly toxic waste lingers in the buildings, playgrounds, and streams. 
     
     
     
    More than extraordinary guide to this alien world, Kamysh writes with a singular style that is both brash and bold, conferring an understated elegance to this dystopian reality. Stalking the Atomic City is a haunting account of what total autonomy could mean in our growingly fractured world.

    Every 90 Seconds - Our Common...

    Anne P. DePrince

    Every 90 seconds a woman is sexually assaulted. In that same minute and a half, another is a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a current or former intimate partner. Every sixteen hours, one of those intimate partners shoots and kills a woman. Nearly two in ten  
    women are stalked, while one in sixteen is raped during her first sexual experience. Despite these jaw-dropping statistics, collectively we are well practiced at seeing such acts as someone else’s problem. And yet, violence against women is tangled up with the most  
    frequently discussed and debated issues of our time: healthcare and education access, immigration, gun policies, economic security, and criminal justice reform—issues that impact us all, nearly every day. 
     
    In Every 90 Seconds, Anne P. DePrince argues that to end violence against women, we must fundamentally redefine how we engage with it—starting by abandoning the idea that violence is a problem involving only those who abuse or are abused. Instead, DePrince  
    illuminates how violence against women is inextricably linked to other issues that stoke our greatest passions. For instance, each time a woman requires emergency medical attention as a result of violence and abuse, our overburdened healthcare system bears an entirely  
    preventable cost. Meanwhile, the threat of violence is a significant cause of pressure on the US southern border, driving women and their families to seek safety far from home.  
     
    Violence against women also takes a stunning toll on the US economy by contributing to widespread poverty. Drawing on these and other complex examples, DePrince builds the case that this very complexity offers an opportunity for mobilizing ordinary people to work  
    to stop violence against women in a way we never have before. DePrince’s call to action arises out of the reality that when we address violence against women, we can make progress on a range of other significant issues that we care deeply about too.
