Sinopse

In "The American Crisis," Thomas Paine crafts a series of powerful pamphlets that served as a rallying cry for American independence during the Revolutionary War. Written in a passionate and accessible style, Paine's arguments not only illuminate the trials faced by patriots but also emphasize the philosophical underpinnings of freedom, democracy, and the rights of man. With its eloquent prose and persuasive rhetoric, this work emerged in a tumultuous literary context, standing as a direct response to the challenges besetting the young nation and fostering a sense of unity among its people in the face of adversity. Paine, a political activist and philosopher, was deeply influenced by Enlightenment ideals, which manifested in his belief in rational thought and human rights. His early life in England, combined with his experiences in America, shaped his understanding of oppression and fueled his quest for justice. "The American Crisis" was pivotal during the war, not only stoking the fires of rebellion but also enhancing Paine's role as a leading thinker of his time, making it clear why he remains a significant figure in American history. This compelling collection is highly recommended for readers intrigued by the ideological battles that forged the United States. Paine's incisive insights and unwavering commitment to liberty provide not only historical context but also timeless lessons on individual rights and civic duty, resonating deeply even in contemporary debates about freedom and governance.

    Progressive activism today is increasingly spearheaded by the nation's youngest voters. Gen Z—those born between 1997 and 2012—has come of age in a decade of upheavals. They have witnessed the election of Donald Trump, the murder of George Floyd, and the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, and they have lived under the constant threats of mass shootings and climate change. In response, left-leaning Zoomers, particularly women and LGBTQ people, have banded together to take action. 
     
     
     
    This book tells the story of Gen Z's growing political participation—and why it is poised to drive U.S. politics leftward. Bringing together original data and compelling narrative—including nearly one hundred interviews with Gen Z activists and several national surveys—political scientist Melissa Deckman explores the world of youth-led progressive organizing, highlighting the crucial importance of gender and sexuality. She reveals why women and LGBTQ Zoomers are participating in politics at higher levels than their straight male peers, creating a historic "reverse gender gap." Deckman takes listeners inside Gen Z's fight for a more inclusive and just future, sharing stories of their efforts to defend reproductive rights, prevent gun violence, stem climate change, and win political office.

    Living in a dysfunctional family isn't easy. But while you can't choose where you come from, you can choose the lessons you take away. 
     
     
     
    Bestselling recovery author Karen Casey looks at stories of people who grew up in dysfunctional families and "the good stuff" that can, ironically, come from the experience. She interviews survivors who emerged from the fires of turbulent households affected by abuse, addiction, or other problems, and reveals how they came to process their often-harrowing personal trials and, against the odds, triumph over their difficulties—using skills they honed in response to their childhoods. In The Good Stuff from Growing Up in a Dysfunctional Family, Casey reveals the stories and the skills they developed to live more creative and fulfilling lives, and not just survive but thrive. 
     
     
     
    "Using her interviews as groundwork, she explores the benefits that result from surviving in a dysfunctional family, including resiliency, perseverance, a sense of humor, forgiveness, kindness, and the ability to discern real love." —Publishers Weekly 
     
     
     
    "You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey." —Earnie Larson, author of Stage II Recovery
