  Today every American is taught about watershed moments in the history of minorities’ struggles for civil rights over the course of American history: the Civil War, Brown v. Board of Education, Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Indeed, the use of the phrase “Civil Rights Movement” in America today almost invariably refers to the period of time from 1954-1964. 
  	However, the Civil Rights Movement actually came into existence long before it is presumed to have done so. The movement's primary work was slow, evolving, gradual and long-term. Its more glamorous moments, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955–1956), the Selma to Montgomery March (1965), and the March on Washington (1963), mainly were supplemental to the all-important grassroots work already going on in communities, churches, legislatures, and courts. The nascent stages of the movement actually began far earlier, among abolitionists and the writings and activism of Frederick Douglass and others.  
  	Beginning in the summer of 1962, King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began to express interest in targeting one of the South's most brutally segregated cities. Nicknamed “Bombingham,” the city had witnessed the bombing of over a dozen black homes and churches in the previous five years. A victory in Birmingham was a goal that would embolden the Civil Rights Movement like never before.

  Dr. Cage explores the minds (and bodies) of his patients, but is he brave enough to find love? 
  Dr Hunter Cage is an Ivy League educated sex therapist who is not afraid to be hands-on, when the treatment plan calls for it. He knows that sex is an integral part of mental wellness and his unorthodox methods work. 
  When he leaves small town Pennsylvania to launch a private practice in San Francisco, he looks forward to helping a larger client base with more varied treatment modalities. Dr. Cage is just what the gay men of San Francisco need—he successfully treats men who refuse to bottom (and top!) and sufferers of sexual addiction. 
  There’s just one problem: he can’t treat himself. Instead, Dr. Cage scours dating apps for men he can spend the night with and send home the next morning. He even hooks up with a flight attendant he has only ever kissed at 36,000 feet. But love has a way of finding a person. Will Dr. Cage know it when he sees it? Or is he destined for loneliness? 
  Let Dr. Cage write you a prescription for twelve steamy tales.

  Mystic Christianity

  The true story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth has never been unfolded to the world, either in the accepted Gospels or in the Apocrypha, although a few stray hints may be found in some of the commentaries written by the ante-Nicene Fathers. The facts concerning His identity and mission are among the priceless mysteries preserved to this day in the secret vaults beneath the "Houses of the Brethren." To a few of the Knights Templars, who were initiated into the arcana of the Druses, Nazarenes, Essenes, Johannites, and other sects still inhabiting the remote and inaccessible fastnesses of the Holy Land, part of the strange story was told. The knowledge of the Templars concerning the early history of Christianity was undoubtedly one of the main reasons for their persecution and final annihilation. The discrepancies in the writings of the early Church Fathers not only are irreconcilable, but demonstrate beyond question that even during the first five centuries after Christ these learned men had for the basis of their writings little more substantial than folklore and hearsay. To the easy believer everything is possible and there are no problems. The unemotional person in search of facts, however, is confronted by a host of problems with uncertain factors.

  The world and its politics are becoming ever more polarised, leaving no room for the light and the shade. In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole explore race and identity through the lens of the mixed-race experience, creating a space for discussion and illuminating the true nuances of the mixed-race identity. 
  In The Half of It, Emma and Nicole, hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast Mixed Up, discuss what it truly means to be mixed-race. They delve into everything from culture and identity to interracial relationships, to adoption, to understanding the historical context of mixed-race people – ultimately culminating in a rounder and deeper appreciation for the mixed-identity. 
  Emma and Nicole want to break down barriers and open up a deeper dialogue of the mixed-race experience. Although this book was born out of a desire to speak directly to the mixed-race community, they discovered there is something in it for everyone. Whether you are mixed, you know someone mixed, if you have ever considered dating outside of your race, if you’re a parent committed to sharing a more diverse view of the world with your child, or indeed an adult wanting to expand your views on culture and identity – then The Half of It is for you. 
  Edmondson's autobiography is a top pick for those interested in social studies and ethnic diversity. The Half of It is a testament to the power of personal narratives in shedding light on the multifaceted experiences of mixed-race individuals. 
  For fans of Akala (Natives), Jeffrey Boakye (I Heard What You Said), Bell Hooks (Sisters of the Yam), Olivia Laing (To the River), and Caitlin Moran (More Than a Woman).

  DMT Entity Encounters: Dialogues...

  This book opens the doors to one of the strangest puzzles in contemporary consciousness research: why do so many people who take DMT report meeting autonomous “entities” that feel intelligent, alien and uncannily real? Structured around a series of live dialogues between scientists, shamans, philosophers and seasoned psychonauts, it reads like a four-day symposium captured on the page. Clinical researchers bring data from human trials; anthropologists bring ayahuasca cosmologies from the Amazon; philosophers resurrect ideas of daimons and imaginal realms; cosmologists speculate about fields, dimensions and information. No single perspective is allowed to dominate. Instead, each chapter turns the question of entity encounters in a different light—psychological, spiritual, neurological, esoteric—while the round-table discussions reveal points of agreement, sharp disagreement and genuine surprise. More than a catalogue of trip reports, this is a serious attempt to think about DMT beings without reducing them to “just hallucinations” or inflating them into unquestionable gods. It invites the reader into a rare kind of conversation: one where mainstream science and visionary experience meet on equal footing, and where the mystery is kept intact even as new conceptual tools are forged to face it.
