W. L. Bevan’s The World’s Leading Conquerors is a compelling and meticulously crafted exploration of history’s most powerful military leaders and the empires they forged. First published in 1913, this remarkable work delves into the lives, strategies, and ambitions of conquerors whose legacies shaped civilizations and altered the course of human history.     From the unstoppable force of Alexander the Great to the tactical brilliance of Julius Caesar, from the sweeping campaigns of Genghis Khan to the unyielding ambition of Napoleon, Bevan paints vivid portraits of leaders who left an indelible mark on the world. Each chapter not only recounts their military triumphs but also delves into their motivations, their strategies, and the lasting impact of their conquests. Bevan’s insightful narrative captures both the glory and the cost of conquest, offering a balanced perspective on the duality of power and ambition.     Beyond individual biographies, The World’s Leading Conquerors weaves together a broader analysis of how these figures shaped their eras, transformed political landscapes, and influenced the development of nations. Whether admired as heroes or feared as tyrants, these conquerors defined epochs and reshaped the destinies of countless societies.     This Classicus edition brings Bevan’s timeless analysis to modern readers, preserving the depth and nuance of his original work. For history enthusiasts, students of military strategy, and anyone intrigued by the dynamics of power and ambition, The World’s Leading Conquerors is an essential and thought-provoking read.

    Salon's inaugural sex and love advice columnist and author of the viral LinkedIn sex work post, Arielle Egozi, shares their journey as a queer, neurodivergent child of immigrants who never quite fit into the social roles she was supposed to, instead choosing to embrace their multiple dimensions, and eventually discovering freedom—and true power—by being "bad" in a world that kept trying to force her to be "good." 
     
     
     
    With Arielle's personal and relatable guidance, listeners will learn how to: escape the male gaze for good; release the shame they've internalized; make their friends the loves of their lives; embrace their inner domme and reclaim their power; ditch relationship hierarchy to build the relationship(s) of their dreams; discover that sex positivity isn't about having sex at all. 
     
     
     
    Using frameworks and philosophies cultivated from years of living, writing, speaking, and educating on sex, relationships, and identity through a queer and decolonizing lens, Arielle offers questions, practices, and tools to help you find your own power and step into it—creating space for you to dream far beyond what your family, society, or capitalist culture expects. Being Bad offers you the permission to become who you are, however you choose to be.

    The most important war of all for Texas came in the early 19th century, and the common story heard in America is about rebellion against intolerance, oppression and Mexican cruelty. The Battle of the Alamo in particular, surrounded by legend and testimonies of heroism, is a textbook example of the fight for freedom, comparable to the Jewish defenders during the Roman siege at Masada. The words "martyrs" and "Mexican tyranny" are almost always present in the recounts, and “Remember the Alamo!” is both a slogan of self-glorification and martyrdom that remains one of the most famous phrases in America. 	Texas formally asked to be annexed by the United States in 1845. This annexation angered the Mexican government, which still considered Texas to be part of its territory. Mexico had previously warned that the annexation of Texas would cause Mexico to declare war on the United States.  
    	When a Mexican patrol attacked American cavalry in the disputed area north of the Rio Grande, President Polk went to Congress for a declaration of war. The declaration passed on May 13, 1846. The war against Mexico was unpopular with the opposition Whig party, especially in the North. Opponents of the war denounced it as a war of aggression, and denied that there had been a valid reason for war.	Small American military units were quickly able to occupy key points in California, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. Although California was sparsely populated, some Mexican inhabitants formed an effective resistance which was eventually put down in 1847 by American reinforcements. Subsequently, a larger American army was sent to invade central Mexico, and managed to capture the Mexican capital, Mexico City, on September 13, 1847. News of the capital falling caused it to retreat to try to retake the capital. After the defeat of the last Mexican army, major hostilities ended.

    The Secrets of the Federal Reserve* by Eustace Mullins investigates the origins, structure, and influence of the U.S. Federal Reserve System, arguing that it was created not solely to stabilize the economy but to serve the interests of an elite banking group. Mullins traces the Reserve’s formation back to a secret meeting on Jekyll Island and explores how this institution has impacted U.S. and global economics. The book examines key figures, banks, and historical contexts behind the Reserve, presenting a controversial view that challenges mainstream narratives about its purpose and control. This work is often cited by those critical of centralized banking power and has sparked much debate in economic and historical circles.
