Throughout the years, Amber has struggled with up to five severe mental disorders that, especially when grouped together, would bring even the heartiest among us to their knees. Currently serving out her five years of probation for a widely publicized fight with the father of her son, Amber has been on a rollercoaster of experiences since she famously emerged from prison almost eight years ago. Now, she is finally ready to share the painful and emotional journey that has brought her to the more stable and productive life she's leading today.

  The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), “Conduct of Life,” remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as, Sefer Hanhagat ha-hayim and in 1729 as “Regimiento de la vida”, this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur. The work aims to disseminate the timeless teachings of ethics, in the words of the author: “In all that has been said, my intention is only to make you understand how the one who follows the path of virtue and customs of practising good and pure knowledge since childhood, lives a happy and fulfilled life (Volume 1, chapter 2)” This second volume addresses the confusion of indeterminism with free will (Volume 2, chapter 1) and how virtues arise from free will to surpass the force of destiny chapter 2), their conditions (chapter 3); the three types of strength or courage, which is the first virtue (chapter 4), its five properties and eleven conditions (chapter 5); as well as the ten ethical virtues, temperance (chapter 6), the sixteen properties of liberality chapters 7-8), magnificence (chapter 9), magnanimity and its fifty properties (chapter 10-12), modesty (chapter 13), meekness (chapters 14-16), affability (chapter 17), honesty or truth (chapters 18-19), and courtesy (chapter 20); following the order and numbering of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.“Conduct of Life” draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions: Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought. Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.

  If Jenn had known her husband's family before they'd gotten married, there might never have been a wedding at all. 
  Now she has to confront the reality that her new family holds ignorant—and, at times, racist—views, and that spending time around them triggers her ingrained trauma of growing up Black in the U.S. 
  Why is it so hard for her to speak out against their prejudice? And, more importantly, what does it mean that her husband is silent in the face of all this? 
  This transformative memoir follows Jenn as she confronts the past, helps her husband on his own journey to racial awareness, and finds the inner strength to be an advocate for others. 
  Both harrowing and uplifting, this book is for anyone who has ever been othered, as well as those in close relationships with those from different walks of life. It challenges us all to confront our unconscious bias and seek true reconciliation.

  An intimate and freewheeling portrait of John Madden through the NFL legend's own words 
  John Madden is synonymous with football. He was the television face and voice of the nation’s most popular 
  sport, the namesake of its best-selling sports video game, and the man with the highest career winning 
  percentage of any NFL coach. 
  Despite his international fame, there was a side of Madden known only to those who listened to morning radio 
  broadcasts in the San Francisco Bay Area. That’s where Madden grew up, lived, and died. It's where for decades 
  he found joy in a daily chat with his hometown radio station: a chance to unwind, tell stories, and impart his 
  own brand of wit and wisdom. 
  In Mornings With Madden, Stan Bunger—the man most often on the other side of the mic—illuminates this 
  larger-than-life figure, drawing upon memories of more than fifteen years of daily broadcasts, backed up by 
  thousands of recordings of those conversations. Readers who adored Madden’s football acumen and quirky 
  personality on NFL broadcasts will get to know the father, husband, bad golfer, dog owner, lover of roadside 
  diners, and philosopher whose personality dominated our radio chats. 
  Featuring moving reflections alongside Madden's own words, this is a treasure trove of wry observations, 
  self-deprecating humor, clear-eyed thinking about sports and society, and the “Maddenisms” that endeared the 
  legendary coach to millions.
