Summary

The "History of Woman Suffrage" (Volumes 1-6) is a landmark anthology that meticulously chronicles the grassroots activism, political struggles, and societal transformations surrounding women's suffrage in the United States from the 19th century through the early 20th century. Composed by a diverse assembly of feminist scholars and activists, including the prominent Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, this compilation employs a vivid narrative style that intertwines personal anecdotes with broader historical events, establishing a compelling context for the suffragist movement. Through primary documents, speeches, and essays, readers gain insights into the hardships and triumphs faced by women in their quest for equality and voting rights, framed within the broader landscape of American social reform movements. The authors of this monumental work, all key figures in the women's rights movement, drew upon their firsthand experiences and collective knowledge to illuminate the complexities of the suffragist struggle. With roots in the abolitionist movement and influenced by the burgeoning ideas of equality, they were driven by a shared understanding of the intersectionality inherent in larger social justice causes. Their collaborative efforts, spanning decades, reflect both the urgency and resilience of the movement, showcasing how personal and political histories are inextricably linked. I highly recommend the "History of Woman Suffrage" to scholars, activists, and anyone interested in understanding the legacy of women's rights in America. The detailed accounts and passionate testimonies make it not only an essential historical resource but also a profound reflection on the continuing fight for gender equality. This comprehensive work serves as both an education and a call to action, urging readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for rights and representation in today's society.

    Essential for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn't be a more timely read." 
 
 
 
Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the "hardball" of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on foryt-six years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way—the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential for anyone interested in American politics of the last fifty years—and the next.

    A guide to supporting our emergence from the tight grip of race discomfort. 
 
 
 
If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities. 
 
 
 
Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasizes resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness, and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

    Did you know that Western civilization has influenced the lives of almost everyone alive today? 
What do you know about Western civilization? It might sound like a funny question to ask, but a lot of people don’t realize how much the West has impacted the world. The values of Western civilization have influenced laws, people’s sense of individuality, and even our morals. 
This audiobook will trace Western civilization back to its roots. In this epic quest, we head all the way back to Greece when Greek philosophers like Socrates and Plato pondered the very meaning of life. Explore the depths of knowledge that were probed by Greek schools of thought, such as the Stoics and the Cynics. 
Was it better to stoically grin and bear the troubles of life as the Stoics advised, or was it better to simply shrug one’s shoulders and declare everything to be pointless, stupid, and absurd? 
And in the middle of these philosophers’ quest, a missionary from Judea named Paul of Tarsus stepped in to spread the “good news” of the Gospels. Christianity and other schools of thought converged, and the Roman Empire helped to facilitate the spread of these ideas far and wide. Soon, the foundations for Western civilization had been firmly established. 
These ideas would later undergo renaissances, reformations, and scientific revolutions, but the basic foundation has remained in place. Here, in this audiobook, we explore all of the fascinating aspects of the great framework upon which our modern Western civilization rests. 
In this audiobook, you will learn the following:Greek philosophical and scientific discoveriesThe convergence of Greco-Roman and Christian beliefsHow Western civilization transformed during the Middle AgesAnd much more!
