  Disequilibria: Meditations on Missingness is a hybrid memoir that recounts the 1982 disappearance of the author's stepfather, James Edward Lewis, a pilot and Vietnam veteran. Recounting his family's experiences in searching for answers, Lunday interrogates the broader cultural and conceptual responses to the phenomenon of missingness by connecting his stepfather's case to other true-life disappearances as well as those portrayed in fiction, poetry, and film. In doing so Disequilibria explores the transience in modern life, considering the military-dependent experience, the corrosive effects of war, and the struggle to find closure and comfort as time goes by without answers.

  Misogynies is one of the most celebrated feminist texts by a British author. First published in 1989, it created shock waves with its analyses of history, literature and popular culture. Joan Smith drew on her own experience as one of the few women reporting the Yorkshire Ripper murders and looked at novels, slasher movies, Page Three and Princess Diana, teasing out the attitudes that brought them together. A feminist classic, Smith's exploration of fear and hatred of women resonates to this day.

  "...offers an eclectic menu of treats that serve up a new and fresh look at a genre we rarely connect directly to the demands of the real world, much less plumb for key lessons about leadership." — ARMY Magazine
  
  In the past decade, heroes and villains spawned from the pages of comic books have upended popular culture and revolutionized the entertainment industry. The narratives weave together a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing storylines, spun across decades, generations, and mediums, forming a complex tapestry that simultaneously captures the imagination and captivates the mind. These stories reveal our own vulnerabilities while casting an ideal to which we aspire. They pull at our deepest emotions and push us to the cusp of reality, and bring us back to Earth with a renewed hope of a better tomorrow. They are an endless source of powerful metaphors to help us learn and develop, then be the best versions of ourselves possible.
  
  Through the lens of the superhero genre, each chapter explores contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, while emphasizing the role of humanity and human nature in our own world.

  Those who have had a narcissistic parent can testify to how damaging it can be to one's psyche. Narcissistic parents lack empathy, show a severe sense of entitlement to micromanage the lives of their children, and often subject their children to neglect, as well as emotional, psychological, and physical abuse. From the unique challenges daughters of narcissistic fathers face to the ways in which adverse childhood experiences affect our brains, Shahida Arabi's insightful essays resonate deeply with those who have been raised by narcissistic parents. In this new essay collection, Arabi explores how narcissistic abuse in childhood can set us up for trauma repetition in adulthood, affecting how we navigate relationships, the self, and the world. She pinpoints the toxic traits and behaviors of narcissistic mothers and fathers, exposing how covert abuse insidiously plays out in these specific dynamics. She offers the essential tools, skill sets, and healing modalities for survivors who have undergone a lifetime's worth of abuse, helping them to break the cycle once and for all for future generations.

  The progress of the human race has been haphazard and inefficient with too much left to chance. We have been wasteful with our time, resources, and human effort. We have suffered unnecessarily with pointless wars and with billions still in poverty today. And now, our very existence is threatened by multiple Global Catastrophic Risks – from climate change and nuclear war, to AI and pandemics. But the global ‘order’ of today shows no chance of being able to solve and effectively coordinate the global responses so critically required to ensure the future of humanity. This is not good enough. It is far too soon for us to end. Our future, our potential as a species – we must protect and realise it. 
  This book explores what the human race could achieve with true global cooperation. 
  In this book are the Blueprints for the New World – with the global systems and institutions of the world re-engineered and re-designed to solve the global problems of today. To create the most prosperous Future of the Human Race. It explores the benefits of achieving global demilitarisation, a true global economy centred around Value creation and not consumerism, a new global currency and global language. The ability to effectively respond to global emergencies and threats, accelerating scientific progress through restructuring academia, global infrastructure projects such as a global electricity grid. True global justice crippling evil across the entire world. Reforming the global education system. Long term planning for the benefit of the entire human race. A global space agency to establish our foothold in space as fast as possible. And more. 
  No more should humanity blindly stumble forward into the future. It is time we finally took a firm hold of and controlled the destiny of the human race. 
  “The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” 
  -   Thomas Paine
