  The Shortest History of...

  Outsiders have long viewed Scandinavia as special, starting with the ancient Greeks and their myths of Ultima Thule, a place "where the Sun goes to rest." Today, we admire Scandinavia for its universal welfare, equality, peacefulness, and untouched nature—not to mention its interior design, crime literature, and love of all things hygge. 
   
  Yet Nordic history has its hardships and dark periods, too: pandemics, war, the expansionism of the Viking Age and the eighteenth century, alliances with Nazi Germany in World War II, and a eugenics movement in the twentieth century. 
   
  In The Shortest History of Scandinavia, historian Mart Kuldkepp masterfully sketches the outlines of Scandinavia's rich history—from the first known peoples of the region, who followed the ice sheet north at the end of the last Ice Age, to the Scandinavians living in nations that are among the happiest in the world today. 
   
  In this deeply insightful volume, Kuldkepp illuminates the concept of "Nordicness"—a hard-to-define quality that has nonetheless steered the region to respond to major challenges, actively shaping its history and exerting a considerable influence on European and global history in the process.

  Sample Insights: 
  1) WEIRD is an acronym made up by Joseph Henrich, which stands for Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. WEIRD people are those who were brought up in a country with these five attributes. 
  2) WEIRD people value individualism very highly and live by it. They tend to be control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. Their focus is on themselves – their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations – rather than on their personal relationships or perceived social roles.

  Science Ideated - The Fall Of...

  Leading-edge empirical observations are increasingly difficult to reconcile with "scientific" materialism. Laboratory results in quantum mechanics, for instance, strongly indicate that there is no autonomous world of tables and chairs out there. Coupled with the inability of materialist neuroscience to explain consciousness, this is forcing both science and philosophy to contemplate alternative worldviews. Analytic idealism—the notion that reality, while equally amenable to scientific inquiry, is fundamentally mental—is a leading contender to replace "scientific" materialism.  
   
   
   
  In this book, the broad body of empirical evidence and reasoning in favor of analytic idealism is reviewed in an accessible manner. The book brings together a number of highly influential essays previously published by major media outlets such as Scientific American and the Institute of Art and Ideas. The essays have been revised and improved, while two never-before-published essays have been added. The resulting argument anticipates a historically imminent transition to a scientific worldview that, while elegantly accommodating all known empirical evidence and predictive models, regards mind not matter as the ground of all reality.

  It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change. 
   
   
   
  This handbook is free of any attempts to shame, blame, or guilt leaders for the choices they made in the past or privileges they were born with. Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes. 
   
   
   
  In The Includers, Colette Phillips explores the core qualities that inclusive leaders share: character, cultural intelligence, connections, communications, collaboration, courage, and commitment. With humor and poignancy, and backed by research, Phillips shares stories of real Includers: the CEOs, politicians, and public figures—all white male allies—she's admired, known, and, in some cases, counseled. 
   
   
   
  For leaders who are ready to do their part, this eye-opening guide offers practical, actionable insights from allies and advocates who are willing to listen, learn, and "lead from behind" to create sustainable systemic change.
