The Intersectional...

Leah Thomas

From the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet. Thomas shows how not only are Black, Indigenous and people of color unequally and unfairly impacted by environmental injustices, but she argues that the fight for the planet lies in tandem to the fight for civil rights; and in fact, that one cannot exist without the other. An essential read, this book addresses the most pressing issues that the people and our planet face, examines and dismantles privilege, and looks to the future as the voice of a movement that will define a generation.

Praxis Tacticum - The Art...

Colonel Charles S. Oliviero

Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
 
 
 
All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
 
 
 
There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
