  Future Peace - Technology...

  Today's militaries are increasingly reliant on highly networked autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons that were previously the domain of science fiction writers. In a world where these complex technologies clash with escalating international tensions, what can we do to decrease the chances of war? In Future Peace, Robert H. Latiff questions our overreliance on technology and examines the pressure-cooker scenario created by the growing animosity between the United States and its adversaries, our globally deployed and thinly stretched military, the capacity for advanced technology to catalyze violence, and the American public's lack of familiarity with these topics. 
   
   
   
  Future Peace describes the many provocations to violence and how technologies are abetting those urges, and it explores what can be done to mitigate not only dangerous human behaviors but also dangerous technical behaviors. Latiff concludes that peace is possible but will require intense, cooperative efforts on the part of technologists, military leaders, diplomats, politicians, and citizens. This compelling and timely book will captivate general listeners, students, and scholars of global affairs, international security, arms control, and military ethics.

  A timely look at how the Electoral College has changed US history and why it endures—told through the lenses of specific people who both influenced the process and were impacted by the results. 
   
   
   
  "Over the years, no feature of the Constitution has attracted more criticism than that strange creature called the Electoral College. Thomas E. Weaver has made that history into a story with an intriguing cast of characters, some familiar, several new to me. If you want to know why it is so hard to do away with this long-standing anachronism, Weaver's story will help you understand." —JOSEPH J. ELLIS, Professor Emeritus of History, Mount Holyoke College, author of Pulitzer Prize–winning Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation 
   
   
   
  "Those who think that throwing stones at political institutions is the same as reasoned debate should take some lessons from this carefully researched book. With a cast of colorful characters in tow, Weaver examines the long-standing controversies surrounding the EC and sets out numerous proposals for reform, which range from outright abolition to removing the "plus two" clause. Weaver brings a wealth of historical research to the task, writing with authority and clarity." —Kirkus

  Beyond Her Yes - Reimagining...

  Much pro-life ministry is focused on encouraging women to say yes to life rather than terminate their pregnancies. But what happens after that decision has been made? Who will provide that mother, who likely considered abortion because she could not see how she could afford to have a child, with the long-term emotional support, education, and guidance that will help her out of poverty? 
   
   
   
  Economics and abortion are intrinsically linked, and if pro-life ministry is to make a real difference in the lives of women and families, it must expand its perspective beyond that initial yes in order to address the underlying problem of generational poverty. In Beyond Her Yes, cofounder of RENEW Life Center Marisol Maldonado Rodriguez helps you understand the full impact that poverty has on women making life decisions and then shows how a comprehensive approach to pro-life ministries can make a far greater impact. 
   
   
   
  Saving the lives of the not-yet-born is just the first step. Discover how you can be part of saving entire families from a life of hardship and hard choices.

  "The Law" is a classic work written by the French political economist and philosopher Frédéric Bastiat. Originally published in 1850, the book is a concise and powerful exploration of the concept of law and its proper role in society. Bastiat's main argument revolves around the idea that the purpose of law is to protect individual rights and property, rather than being an instrument for legal plunder or the redistribution of wealth. In "The Law," Bastiat discusses the fundamental principles of a just and free society, emphasizing the importance of limited government intervention and the protection of individual liberties. He criticizes various forms of legal plunder, such as tariffs, subsidies, and progressive taxation, which he views as violations of the natural rights of individuals. The book is known for its clarity of thought, persuasive reasoning, and its defense of the principles of classical liberalism.

  Shattered Empire chronicles the dramatic centuries that reshaped the Byzantine Empire from the height of its medieval power to the brink of collapse and eventual renewal. This volume explores the unraveling of imperial authority after Basil II, the catastrophic defeat at Manzikert, the Komnenian restoration, and the complex entanglements with the Crusades. It delves into the empire’s role as a diplomatic broker, the economic and religious controversies that rocked its foundations, and the devastating sack of Constantinople in 1204. Through the lens of exile and resilience, the book reveals how Byzantium’s people, faith, and culture endured, adapted, and ultimately laid the groundwork for a remarkable, if fragile, recovery.
