  In How to Lose the Hounds Celeste Winston explores marronage—the practice of flight from and placemaking beyond slavery—as a guide to police abolition. She examines historically Black maroon communities in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, that have been subjected to violent excesses of police power from slavery until the present day. Tracing the long and ongoing historical geography of Black freedom struggles in the face of anti-Black police violence in these communities, Winston shows how marronage provides critical lessons for reimagining public safety and community well-being. These freedom struggles take place in what Winston calls maroon geographies—sites of flight from slavery and the spaces of freedom produced in multigenerational Black communities. Maroon geographies constitute part of a Black placemaking tradition that asserts life-affirming forms of community. Winston contends that maroon geographies operate as a central method of Black flight, holding ground, and constructing places of freedom in ways that imagine and plan a world beyond policing.

  The Primate Myth - Why the...

  Challenging everything we thought we knew, this book takes a revolutionary look at how humans are far less like other primates than we've been led to believe—and uncovers what truly sets us apart.Humans are primates, much like chimps—or so we've been continually told. Yet recent discoveries show that our species has a different brain design, function, and chemistry; different eating, sleeping, mating, and rearing patterns; a different metabolism; and a different physiology than apes. Nor is our behavior much like theirs, and we don't even have the feet made for climbing trees that define the primate order.Could it be that conceiving of ourselves as primates isn't helping us understand what it is to be human? By examining the latest research in neuroscience and genetics, we are propelled toward a radically different conception of our nature. In this way, we can begin to grasp the distinctively human dimensions of war, murder, suicide, and homosexuality, along with our fascinations with subjects like sports, politics, and fashion. Here is the path by which to understand our species' essential problems and uncover the answers for how we should live our lives.

  What if our universe is just one of many? What if every decision you make creates a new reality? What if other versions of you are living entirely different lives—across parallel realms that stretch beyond imagination? 
  The Multiverse Reality: Are We Alone in the Cosmos? takes you on a bold and fascinating journey through some of the most groundbreaking and mind-expanding ideas in modern science and philosophy. From the Big Bang and cosmic inflation to quantum mechanics and string theory, this book explores the leading theories behind the multiverse—Level I to Level IV—and the thinkers who dared to ask the ultimate questions. 
  But this is more than a scientific exploration. It’s a profound inquiry into what it means to be human in a reality that may not be singular. Through chapters that weave together physics, metaphysics, spirituality, ethics, and popular culture, the book offers a panoramic view of our evolving understanding of existence itself. 
  Whether you're a curious reader, a science enthusiast, or a seeker of deeper truths, this book will challenge your perceptions, ignite your imagination, and leave you wondering—not just if we are alone, but which version of "we" is asking.
