  What does it mean to be human? What is a person? Where did we come from?
  Many answers have been offered throughout history in response to these perennial questions, including those from biological, anthropological, sociological, political, and theological approaches. And yet the questions remain.
  Philosopher Joshua Rasmussen offers his own step-by-step examination into the fundamental nature and ultimate origin of persons. Using accessible language and clear logic, he argues that the answer to the question of what it means to be a person sheds light not only on our own nature but also on the existence of the one who gave us life.

  Witch Hunt - A Traveler's...

  “An expansive, transformative, and empowering book [that] shares the history of the witch, her magick, and persecution with reverence and respect . . . You will come to understand the witch and her world in a way that feels personal and inviting.” —Gabriela Herstik, author of Bewitching the Elements and Inner Witch   Traveling through cities and sites across Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Kristen J. Sollée explores the places and people significant to the early modern legacy of the witch.    Between the 15th and 17th centuries, a confluence of political, economic, and religious factors ignited a wildfire of witch hysteria in Europe and, later, in parts of America. At the heart of these witch hunts were often dangerous misconceptions about femininity and female sexuality, and women were disproportionately punished as a result. Today, this lineage of oppression remains a vital reference point in the fight for women’s rights—and human rights—in the Western world and beyond.   By infusing an adventurous first-person narrative with extensive research and moments of imaginative historical fiction, Sollée makes an often-overlooked period of history come alive. Written for armchair travelers and on-the-ground explorers alike, Witch Huntnot only uncovers the horrors of history but also reveals how the archetype of the witch has been rehabilitated. For witches are not just haunting figures of the past; the witch is also a liberatory icon and identity of the present.           In this paperback edition, the author has included a new afterword and updated the travel resources section.

  In Fraud We Trust - How Leaders...

  Telling lies, and falling for them, is one of the things that makes us human. But when someone deceives another for material gain or profit, inflicting injury in the process, we give this kind of lie a special label: fraud. 
   
   
   
  Most people are familiar with the concept and understand that fraud is prohibited by law. What many fail to appreciate, however, is that the law does not treat all frauds equally. In a perverse sense, the bigger the fraud, the more likely it is protected by the First Amendment and therefore legal. 
   
   
   
  Examples of fraud on the public are everywhere. Politicians on both sides of the aisle lie with such regularity that people have become deeply cynical about whether to believe anything they say. Henricksen shows that large-scale fraud is carried out for many reasons beyond financial profit, including political gain, the prevention of justice, and the falsification of history. 
   
   
   
  In addition to exposing the depths of the problem, Henricksen gives listeners a way forward. By revealing for the first time the root legal cause of the misinformation crisis and presenting novel solutions, In Fraud We Trust speaks to the present moment as it offers answers for the future.
