  Sunk Cost - Who's to Blame for...

  Student-loan horror stories are a dime a dozen. But students today are faced with a seemingly insurmountable paradox: Research consistently shows that the clearest viable option to financial stability is a college degree. But if and when Americans decide to pursue diplomas, student loan payments quickly follow, and even after securing full-time employment, many borrowers struggle to make ends meet for years. In Sunk Cost, journalist Jillian Berman explores how the nation's student loan program went from a well-intentioned initiative aimed at helping low- and middle-income students afford college to one that traps borrowers in long-term debt. 
   
   
    
  Berman interviewed dozens of borrowers and policymakers and dug into the archives to unearth the true causes of the student loan problem. A couple of generations ago, policy makers generously subsidized Americans' college educations because they knew it would be advantageous for the entire country: a more educated population meant better quality of life for all. But today, higher education is viewed as an individual goal, so students and their families are expected to be on the hook for it themselves. Berman explains how this enormous shift happened, which industries benefit from it, and what it means for college-going Americans today.

  Death of the Senate - My Front...

  Something is rotten in the U.S. Senate, and the disease has been spreading for some time. But Ben Nelson, former U.S. senator from Nebraska, is not going to let the institution destroy itself without a fight. Death of the Senate is a clear-eyed look inside the Senate chamber and a brutally honest account of the current political reality. 
  In his two terms as a Democratic senator from the red state of Nebraska, Nelson positioned himself as a moderate broker between his more liberal and conservative colleagues and became a frontline player in the most consequential fights of the Bush and Obama years. His trusted centrist position gave him a unique perch from which to participate in some of the last great rounds of bipartisan cooperation, such as the “Gang of 14” that considered nominees for the federal bench—and passed over a young lawyer named Brett Kavanaugh for being too partisan. 
  Nelson learned early on that the key to any negotiation at any level is genuine trust. With humor, insight, and firsthand details, Nelson makes the case that the “heart of the deal” is critical and describes how he focused on this during his time in the Senate. As seen through the eyes of a centrist senator from the Great Plains, Nelson shows how and why the spirit of bipartisanship declined and offers solutions that can restore the Senate to one of the world’s most important legislative bodies.

  Japan's Surrender - The Path to...

  The Pacific theater of World War II was a brutal and protracted conflict, defined by fierce battles, shifting strategies, and immense human cost. By 1945, the war had entered its final stages, with the Allied forces, led primarily by the United States, gradually gaining the upper hand over Imperial Japan. The end of the Pacific War seemed inevitable, yet the path to Japan's surrender was far from straightforward. The road to victory in the Pacific involved a combination of military ingenuity, strategic alliances, and significant geopolitical shifts. However, the culmination of this path was not solely the result of battlefield victories but also of profound shifts in the political, economic, and moral considerations of both the Japanese leadership and the Allied powers. 
    
  The turning point in the Pacific War came with key battles such as the Battle of Midway in 1942, which severely crippled Japan’s naval forces, and the Allied island-hopping strategy, which successfully isolated and neutralized key Japanese strongholds in the Pacific. Despite these significant losses, Japan’s leadership remained determined to continue the war, believing that they could negotiate a favorable peace settlement or, at worst, fight to a bloody conclusion. In 1945, as Japan’s ability to defend its empire steadily diminished, the Allied forces intensified their efforts, culminating in the invasion of Okinawa—an operation that proved to be one of the bloodiest of the war. 
    
  As the war raged on, the Japanese home islands were subjected to relentless bombing campaigns, both conventional and, later, nuclear. The United States, having developed the atomic bomb, found itself at a crossroads. The decision to deploy this new weapon was fueled by the desire to force Japan’s surrender without having to launch a full-scale invasion, which would likely result in catastrophic casualties for both sides.

  A Brief History of the Female...

  From breasts and orgasms to periods, pregnancies, and menopause—A Brief History of the Female Body is a fascinating science book explaining the mysteries of the female body through an evolutionary lens. 
   
   
   
  Let's face it: The female body is an enigma. For teenagers first experiencing their periods, the monthly arrival of mood swings and cramps can be agonizing and inconvenient. With pregnancy—perhaps the most miraculous of bodily events—comes countless potential complications, including high blood pressure, diabetes, premature birth, and postpartum depression. And menopause is equally mystifying. Why do females lose their fertility over time and experience the notorious side effects—like hot flashes, weight gain, and hair loss—while males maintain their fertility forever? 
   
   
   
  Evolutionary geneticist and educator Dr. Deena Emera has spent much of her career studying the evolution of female reproduction. A Brief History of the Female Body draws on her vast expertise as a biologist, her experience as a mother of four children, and her love of teaching to look far into our evolutionary past, illuminating how and, more importantly, why the female form has transformed over millions of years and its effects on women's health.
