  This book contains the following titles: 
  - The 2023 Inflation Surge: The year 2023 witnessed an unprecedented surge in inflation across multiple global economies, challenging both policymakers and citizens. This inflationary spike had far-reaching implications, reshaping how individuals and businesses approach spending, saving, and investment. For many, the cost of living soared, driven by rising prices on essential goods and services. The effects were not limited to any one region; they were felt in both developed and emerging economies, exacerbating the economic struggles that had already been heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain disruptions. 
    
  - The Collapse of the Soviet Union: The Soviet Union, once the most powerful socialist state on the planet, dominated global politics and economics for much of the 20th century. From its establishment in 1922 until its disintegration in 1991, the USSR stood as a superpower, rivaling the United States in military strength, technological innovation, and ideological influence. The Soviet Union was not just a political entity; it was the manifestation of a grand vision of socialist governance that sought to reshape the world. Its rise to power was marked by revolution, war, and the forging of a unique socio-economic structure that stood in stark contrast to the capitalist world.

  Greek Mythology for Kids -...

  Greek mythology is a collection of ancient stories that have been passed down for centuries, each telling tales of gods, heroes, and creatures that shaped the ancient Greek world. These myths were more than just stories; they were a way for the ancient Greeks to understand the world around them, the forces of nature, and the workings of their society. Through mythology, they explained the origin of the world, the relationships between gods and mortals, and the struggles that defined human existence. In this book, we’ll explore some of the most important myths, focusing on the gods, goddesses, and heroes that continue to capture the imagination of children and adults alike. 
  One of the fascinating aspects of Greek mythology is its variety. From the mighty Zeus, ruler of the heavens, to the brave Heracles, known for his twelve famous labors, each story is filled with adventure, mystery, and valuable life lessons. These stories often involve epic journeys, fierce battles, and daring feats, but they also teach lessons about friendship, loyalty, bravery, and the consequences of pride. As we dive into the myths, you’ll encounter gods who control the elements, heroes who fight against impossible odds, and creatures like the mighty Minotaur and the terrifying Medusa, all of whom play essential roles in the adventures that make up these ancient tales. 
  Greek mythology also has a special connection to the human experience. Although the gods were powerful, they had their flaws—jealousy, pride, and anger—making them relatable to people of all ages. The gods’ actions often mirrored the struggles and emotions that humans face every day. While gods and goddesses lived in a realm above humanity, they frequently interacted with mortals, and their actions had direct consequences for the human world.

  Frontline Bodies - Sports and...

  Nicolas Martin-Breteau, Damion...

  In Frontline Bodies, Nicolas Martin-Breteau argues that sports are not—and have never been—purely about entertainment for Black Americans. Instead, beginning in the 1890s during Reconstruction, Black Americans proactively used athletics as a tactic to fight racial oppression. 
   
   
   
  Martin-Breteau considers the work of Edwin B. Henderson, a prominent Black physical educator, civil rights activist, and historian of Black sports. Training Black children as athletes, Henderson felt, would work both to fortify racial pride and to dismantle racial prejudices—two necessary requirements for a successful political liberation struggle. In this way, physical education became political education. 
   
   
   
  By the end of the twentieth century, Martin-Breteau argues, racial uplift through sports had lost its emancipating power. The emphasis on the accumulation of wealth for professional athletes, as well as sports' ability to reinforce anti-Black stereotypes, had become a political problem for true collective liberation. For a marginalized group of people that has been physically excluded from the democratic process, however, sports remain a political resource. By studying the relationship between athletics and politics, Frontline Bodies renews the history of minority bodies and their power of action.
