  The definitive exposé of forced arbitration, the secret justice system that protects abusers, employers, and powerful corporations “Ballou is one of our most insightful analysts of the modern American legal system. This careful study should be required reading.” —Simon Johnson, Nobel laureate and coauthor of Power and Progress America has a hidden justice system. There, decisions are made in secret, and “judges” are paid for by the companies and abusers who are being sued. Victims usually lose. But when they do, they cannot appeal, and they cannot turn to real courts for help. They are trapped in this system, and quite likely, so are you. You joined it when you accepted the Terms and Conditions on a website, opened a new credit card, or started a new job. When you did, you agreed to be trapped in this secret justice system called “forced arbitration.” Through its secrecy and corruption, forced arbitration helps companies cheat their workers, helps banks deceive their customers, and helps predators act with impunity. If companies and the very powerful often seem beyond the reach of the law, it’s because they are, and forced arbitration is the reason. Yet despite the fact that forced arbitration profoundly shapes our lives, almost nothing has been written about it. Brendan Ballou’s When Companies Run the Courts changes that. It shows how forced arbitration came to be, how it makes your life worse, and how we might escape it.

  Broken Power

  Why God Trusted Women With the World’s Turning Point 
  You were taught that power looks like control. 
  That strength looks suspiciously masculine. 
  Broken Power gently—and irrevocably—undoes those assumptions. 
  Written for the woman who loves Christ but feels unseen by His story, this book reveals a pattern hidden in plain sight: 
  God has always moved power through relationship—not dominance. Through the body—not despite it. Through women—not around them. 
  This is not a book about becoming louder, harder, or more “empowered” in the modern sense. 
  It’s about remembering what you already carry. 
  Through Scripture, theology, history, and the lived wisdom of the female body, Broken Power reframes Christianity’s central mystery: that the greatest shift of power in the universe came not through force—but through trust, yielding, and an open body willing to receive and transform life. 
  You’ll discover:Why Christ’s power looks far more maternal than imperialHow your body mirrors God’s way of creating, redeeming, and healing the worldWhy feminine vulnerability is not a weakness—but Heaven’s chosen technologyAnd how power, once broken open by love, becomes something you host, not something you hold 
  It speaks to the woman who has carried life, carried faith, carried others—and quietly wondered if God sees her strength as central, or merely supportive. 
  After Broken Power, you won’t read Scripture the same. 
  You won’t read yourself the same. 
  And you won’t mistake softness for smallness ever again. 
  This is a book for Christian women who are ready to stop apologizing for the way God designed them—and start trusting that He knew exactly what He was doing.

  Writing in response to the growing anti-Chinese sentiment and alarmed by the threat of war, Dr. David Daokui Li pulls from his wealth of firsthand experience to demystify contemporary Chinese society and advocate for understanding between China and the West. In this urgently needed and fascinating book, he explains the inner workings of a rising superpower to help the world understand how it works—and how to work with it. 
   
   
   
  In Li's hands, an economic and political system that often baffles Westerners becomes coherent, sophisticated, and logical. He begins by explaining how two thousand years of history—from Confucian philosophy and ancient imperial dynasties to Communist Party chairmen from Mao to Deng Xiaoping—profoundly influence China's leadership today. Li brings the listener into high-level meetings he attended with figures including Xi Jinping, showing China's approach to governance. 
   
   
   
  In demystifying contemporary Chinese society, Li helps listeners reconceptualize contemporary China and the implications of its growth. He asserts that China's rise will be beneficial for the global order, holding out the hope that with shared understanding and mutual learning the Chinese and Western systems will eventually find a way to peacefully coexist.

  In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison. Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. 
   
   
   
  In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities. From TB to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), these infections spread rapidly due to systemic neglect and inadequate medical responses. The book highlights the stories of those who suffered, the failures in health care provision, and offers specific guidance for public health professionals in conducting investigations and facility inspections during outbreaks behind bars. 
   
   
   
  With firsthand accounts and expert analysis, this book illustrates the urgent need for reform in prison health care to protect incarcerated people and the wider community. Outbreak Behind Bars is a crucial listen for anyone concerned about justice, public health, and the overlooked plight of incarcerated people, especially students, faculty, and professionals in the field of public health.

  In this fascinating book, Julian Flanders examines the impact of the Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth Movement) on Germany's young people and how it shaped German society under Adolf Hitler. By 1940 membership had reached eight million - more than 90 per cent of German children. Between 1933 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the movement drove a wedge between youth, the educational system, and even their own dissenting families, producing a generation of anti-intellectuals indoctrinated with Nazi ideology. On the eve of war, the Hitler Youth constituted the single most successful mass movement in the Third Reich and comprised many of its most committed Nazis. Members of Hitlerjugend went on to play a substantial role in World War II, as many underage troops fought and died for their country.
