Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
 
 
This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
 
What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
 
The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.
Available since: 08/14/2022.
Print length: 312 pages.

    In The Open Conspiracy, H.G. Wells presents a visionary manifesto for reshaping human civilization. Written in the aftermath of World War I and on the brink of global upheaval, Wells calls for a transformative movement rooted in science, reason, and a renewed sense of global purpose. 
This provocative work lays out his plan for a peaceful yet radical reorganization of society—one that rejects outdated nationalism, dogmatic religion, and social division in favor of a cooperative, rationally guided "world commonweal." Blending philosophical reflection, political critique, and strategic proposal, The Open Conspiracy stands as both a call to arms and a blueprint for action. 
Narrated with clarity and conviction by Luke Oldham, this audiobook invites modern listeners to revisit Wells’s bold dream of unity, equity, and enlightened human progress—still strikingly relevant in today's divided world.

    Is anger getting in the way of the life you want? Do you lash out at others, or experience uncontrollable rages that hurt your relationships or damage your career? When you feel angry, do you also experience unpleasant or even frightening physical sensations such as a rapid heartbeat, shaking, or sweating? If so, your anger may be caused by unresolved past trauma. In order to effectively manage your anger, you must first treat the root cause. 
Grounded in somatic and attachment-focused EMDR (SAFE), this book offers a self-guided, trauma-informed approach to help you heal and move past unresolved trauma using bilateral tapping—a simple technique that stimulates the right and left sides of the brain to help the body achieve a more restful, balanced state. By addressing the root of your anger—instead of repressing it—you’ll gain greater control over intense emotions, regulate your nervous system, improve your relationships, and build a more peaceful life. 
Unresolved trauma can keep you stuck in a vicious cycle of anger, rage, and frustration. But you can heal the wounds of the past and build a more peaceful life. This compassionate, step-by-step guide will show you how.

    The spot where the most famous manhunt in United States history came to a bloody end languishes in the litter-strewn median of a four-lane highway. There are no physical traces left of the Garrett farmhouse, where John Wilkes Booth died, and few historic footprints to be found at all in this unlikely place, a common right-of-way. The Garrett place is one of scores of sites on the East Coast that society cast aside, places of historic value left to the natural world as orphans of the American landscape. Orphaned Heritage: The East Coast's Disappearing History tells the story of the Atlantic seaboard's historic castaways and explores what we can learn from the ruin.

    There are few women in English history more famous or controversial than Queen Anne Boleyn. In this vivid and engaging account of the triumphant and harrowing final year of Queen Anne Boleyn's life, the author reveals a very human portrait of a brilliant, passionate, and complex woman. 
 
 
 
The last year of Anne's life contained both joy and heartbreak. This telling period bore witness to one of the longest and most politically significant progresses of Henry VIII's reign, improved relations between the royal couple, and Anne's longed-for pregnancy. With the dawning of the new year, the pendulum swung. In late January 1536, Anne received news that her husband had been thrown from his horse in his tiltyard at Greenwich. Just days later, tragedy struck. As the body of Anne's predecessor, Katherine of Aragon, was being prepared for burial, Anne miscarried her son. The promise of a new beginning dashed, the months that followed were a roller coaster of anguish and hope, marked by betrayal, brutality, and rumor. What began with so much promise, ended in silent dignity, amid a whirlwind of scandal, on a scaffold at the Tower of London. 
 
 
 
Through close examination of these intriguing events considered in their social and historical context, listeners will gain a fresh perspective into the life and death of the woman behind the tantalizing tale.
