Summary

In "The State and Revolution," Vladimir Ilyich Lenin intricately examines the relationship between the state and the proletariat, arguing that the state is an instrument of class oppression. Written amidst the tumult of the early 20th century, Lenin employs a dialectical materialist approach reminiscent of Marx's theories, critiquing liberal notions of the state and advocating for its dismantlement by the working class. His succinct yet profound style captures the urgency of revolutionary thought, situating the text within the broader context of Marxism's evolution and its application to the socio-political landscape of Russia. Lenin's work serves as both a theoretical treatise and a practical guide for revolutionaries seeking to grasp the necessity of state power as a temporary means to achieve the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin, a pivotal figure in the socialist movement, was profoundly influenced by the socio-political upheavals of his time. His personal experiences and the failures of previous revolutions galvanized him to elucidate the mechanisms that sustain capitalist states. By incorporating historical examples and philosophical discourse, Lenin not only aimed to inspire action but also to provide a framework for understanding the transformative potential of the working class. For readers interested in revolutionary theory, political science, or the history of socialism, "The State and Revolution" is an indispensable text. It challenges readers to consider the nature of state power and its implications for societal change, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of class struggle and the path toward emancipation.

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
 
 
 
In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
 
 
 
This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

    Disclaimer: This is not the official book but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
Gwynne meticulously retraces the steps of the formidable Comanche nation, a tribe that rose to power with a force unparalleled in native North American history, thanks to their masterful horse riding and warrior skills. Their reign, known as the "Comanche Empire," struck fear into the hearts of Americans and Mexicans alike, shaping the course of the frontier with a brutal hand. 
At the epicenter of this historical narrative is the incredible story of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl kidnapped by the Comanche, who grows up to become the mother of Quanah Parker, the last and greatest Comanche chief. This dual biography intricately weaves the personal narratives of both Cynthia and Quanah, as they navigated a world at the crossroads of emerging American civilization and indigenous culture. 
As you explore our summary, readers will be transported to a tumultuous period in American history, where the collision of cultures gave rise to heroism, cruelty, and the forging of the modern United States. S. C. Gwynne's masterful storytelling brings to life the flesh and blood people behind the historical figures, offering a sobering look at the realities of frontier life and the profound cost of progress. 
Experience the gripping narratives that define "Empire of the Summer Moon," a story not just of a mother and son but of a nation struggling to birth itself through blood, battle, and sacrifice. It is a tale of endurance and the human spirit's indomitable will to survive in the face of unimaginable challenges.

    Environmental justice recognizes that environmental benefits and burdens should be distributed fairly, and that the people making policy decisions should incorporate the views of those most often harmed: people of color, Indigenous populations, low-income communities, and those who are underserved and disenfranchised for other reasons such as age, gender, or disability. It encompasses not only traditional environmental issues like clean air and clean water, but also social issues such as employment, nutrition, and access to health care. Although environmental justice is a relatively recent concept, it has become a focus of governmental environmental policy, UN actions, and the activities of many nongovernmental environmental organizations. Its development tracks our growing understanding of racism and wealth disparity in the United States and elsewhere, and of our understanding of inequality between the Global North and the Global South. In the era of climate change, climate justice is a particular focus.Environmental Justice: A Very Short Introduction defines the concept, identifies specific environmental justice populations, examines root causes, including racism, capitalism, and colonialism, and traces the history of the environmental justice movement and governmental responses to it. It concludes with suggestions for achieving this elusive goal.
