  • 0

  An intersectional examination of the ways in which nonmonogamy can break down traditional power structures to be particularly empowering to marginalized people. 
  What does nonmonogamy allow other than the freedom to love whoever you wish to love? For Zara Shah, nonmonogamy allows greater freedom of social interaction and a richer view of intimacy. It allows not only more choices for sexual and romantic partners, but also greater range in hobbies, careers and friendships. 
  Nonmonogamy has allowed Shah—a Pakistani woman who immigrated to Canada and a sex worker in a nonmonogamous relationship—to push the boundaries of what sexual intimacy means to relationships. Being in a committed, nonmonogamous relationship helped her appreciate nuance in sexuality, love and human behaviour. Through redefining sex and love, she was able to discover a level of confidence that has enabled her to be successful in the sex industry and to not be ashamed of the nature of the work, despite enduring social stigma. 
  Through the lens of this experience, Shah discusses economics and sex work, intimacy and sex work, nonmonogamy and religious and social conflict, social rejection and nonmonogamy, the intersection between nonmonogamous and sex work communities, nonmonogamy and sexual health, and the impact of sex work on mental health.

  American Founders reveals men and women of African descent as key protagonists in the story of American democracy. It chronicles how black people developed and defended New World settlements, undermined slavery, and championed freedom throughout the hemisphere from the sixteenth thorough the twentieth centuries. While conventional history tends to reduce the roles of African Americans to antebellum slavery and the civil rights movement, in reality African residents preceded the English by a century and arrived in the Americas in numbers that far exceeded European migrants up until 1820. Afro-Americans were omnipresent in the founding and advancement of the Americas, and recurrently outnumbered Europeans at many times and places, from colonial Peru to antebellum Virginia. African-descended people contributed to every facet of American history as explorers, conquistadores, settlers, soldiers, sailors, servants, slaves, rebels, leaders, lawyers, translators, teachers, doctors, nurses, inventors, investors, merchants, mathematicians, scientists, scholars, and presidents. The multitude of events and mixed-race individuals included in the book underscores that black and white Americans share the same history, and in many cases, the same ancestry. American Founders is meant to celebrate this shared heritage and strengthen these bonds.

  "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
  
  Written over two thousand years ago, Sun Tzu's insights remain as sharp and relevant today as they were in ancient China. The Art of War is not merely a book about military maneuvers; it is a profound philosophical study of human nature and the mechanics of conflict. Across thirteen concise chapters, Sun Tzu teaches the importance of intelligence, the value of flexibility, and the necessity of knowing both yourself and your opponent. It is a guide to achieving victory through the path of least resistance, emphasizing that the most successful "warrior" is the one who understands how to outmaneuver the competition before the first blow is even struck.
  
  The Five Essentials for Victory: Sun Tzu identifies five critical factors that determine the outcome of any engagement: The Moral Law (Purpose), Heaven (Timing), Earth (Terrain), Command (Leadership), and Method (Organization). By mastering these variables, a leader can predict the outcome of a conflict with startling accuracy.
  
  Victory Through Deception and Adaptability: "All warfare is based on deception." Sun Tzu argues that a successful strategist must be like water—shapeless, flowing around obstacles, and striking only where the enemy is weak. This focus on psychological warfare and environmental awareness makes the text a masterclass in high-stakes decision-making.
  
  Why It Is a Global Icon: The Art of War has transcended its origins to become a universal manual for survival and success. Whether you are navigating a corporate merger, coaching a sports team, or seeking personal discipline, Sun Tzu's aphorisms provide a framework for clear thinking under pressure. It is the ultimate toolkit for anyone who wishes to turn obstacles into opportunities.

  The Last Plantation - Racism and...

  James R. Jones

  Racism continues to infuse Congress's daily practice of lawmaking and shape who obtains congressional employment. In this timely and provocative book, James Jones reveals how and why many who work in Congress call it the "Last Plantation." He shows that even as the civil rights movement gained momentum and antidiscrimination laws were implemented, Congress remained exempt from federal workplace protections. These exemptions institutionalized inequality in the congressional workplace well into the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  Jones uncovers the hidden dynamics of power, privilege, and resistance in Congress. He reveals how failures of racial representation among congressional staffers reverberate throughout the American political system and demonstrates how the absence of diverse perspectives hampers the creation of just legislation. Centering the experiences of Black workers within this complex landscape, he provides insights into the problems they face, the barriers that hinder their progress, and the ways they contest entrenched inequality. 
   
   
   
  A must-listen for anyone concerned about social justice and the future of our democracy, The Last Plantation exposes the mechanisms that perpetuate racial inequality in the halls of Congress and challenges us to confront and transform this unequal workplace that shapes our politics and society.
