Faith's Answers to America's...

Senator Joe Lieberman

Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
 
 
 
As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
 
 
 
Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
 
 
 
He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
 
 
 
This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.

Hope and Healing - Black...

Jr. John Silvanus Wilson

In Hope and Healing, former Morehouse College president John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. looks to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to examine what it takes not only to survive as a relevant institution of higher education, but to thrive. Wilson draws on pivotal moments in the timelines of HBCUs and the work of past visionaries to yield important perspectives on the future of higher education and the role of HBCUs within it. 
 
 
  
Wilson documents the strengths of HBCUs, which endure even as factors such as school desegregation, enrollment shifts, and fundraising shortages have deeply affected their operation. These schools have long optimized institutional character, and he encourages their leaders to similarly optimize institutional capital. Wilson emphasizes the indispensable role of educational finance in keeping schools viable and vital to education, discussing funding approaches. Wilson's asset-based framework reveals pathways for all higher education institutions to invest in their long-term futures. 
 
 
  
Suffused with optimism, the book credits HBCUs as exemplars that consistently demonstrate how all colleges and universities can marshal their institutional resources to shape better citizens, foster civic literacy, and work toward a better tomorrow.

The Shocking Truth about Aging...

Zoey Fraisers

Aging is a natural process that affects every living organism, yet the intricate mechanisms behind it remain one of biology's most profound mysteries. At its core, aging is the accumulation of changes in our bodies over time, leading to a gradual decline in physical and functional capabilities. This chapter delves into the foundational science of aging, exploring how it unfolds on a cellular and molecular level and the biological theories that attempt to explain it. 
One of the most noticeable aspects of aging is the way our cells behave as we grow older. Cellular aging is driven by several factors, including the shortening of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes. Each time a cell divides, telomeres become shorter, eventually leading to a state called senescence, where cells stop dividing altogether. Senescent cells can release harmful chemicals that contribute to inflammation and tissue damage, accelerating the aging process. 
Another key aspect of aging is the accumulation of cellular damage. Over time, cells are exposed to harmful agents such as free radicals, which are unstable molecules produced during normal metabolic processes. This damage, if not effectively repaired, can affect DNA, proteins, and cellular membranes, leading to the gradual breakdown of systems critical for maintaining health and vitality.
