  "Mohammed El-Kurd has written a new Discourse on Colonialism for the twenty-first century." —Robin D. G. Kelley 
   
   
   
  Perfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal—an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. 
   
   
   
  Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. 
   
   
   
  Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. 
   
   
   
  How we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

  An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
   
  Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
   
  Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

  For 2,000 years, since it pierced the side of Christ, the Spear of Destiny has been invested with amazing occult powers. This book records the legend and its continuing fulfillment in the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, and the 20th century. It tells the story of the chain of men who possessed the Spear, from Herod the Great the Adolf Hitler, and how they sought to change the face of history by wielding its occult powers for good or evil. The Spear of Destiny is identified as the Spear of the Holy Grail mentioned in the sagas of the Dark Ages and shows the Grail to be a uniquely Western path to mind expansion—as applicable today as it was at the courts of King Arthur and Charlemagne. The final chapters of this book describe a Manichean battle of worlds behind the changing scene of the 20th century. And for the first time the Satanic occult development and faculties of Adolf Hitler are described in authentic and documented detail, showing how he furthered him aims and his conquest of the world by black magic practices. As a bonus feature a rare interview with the author is included.

  On the Purpose of Hating

  'I like solitude, when I give myself up to it, for the sake of solitude.'
  
  A deeply insightful take on how hate and insecurity can be intertwined, and an endearing love letter to the natural world, 'On the Purpose of Hating' is one of the most renowned essays from the brilliant mind of William Hazlitt.
  
  In 'On the Purpose of Hating', Hazlitt explores the complexities of hatred. He compellingly argues that hatred can have a self-destructive edge, and can do just as much harm to the person who harbours it as the subject of it. At its heart, hatred is merely a coping mechanism to manage our own shortcomings.
  William Hazlitt (1778 – 1830) was an English essayist, social commentator and literary critic. Largely considered one of the best essayists of his time, and having befriended other literary giants such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats and Charles Lamb, Hazlitt was a prolific writer, penning articles and periodicals until his death.

  Supportiveness - The Encouraging...

  Supportiveness is one of the most deeply human traits—a quiet yet powerful force that helps others feel seen, heard, and understood. It’s more than simply being nice or offering a few kind words. At its core, supportiveness is about being emotionally present in someone else’s world, especially when they’re navigating pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. It means showing up with intention and empathy, even when you don’t have all the answers. In a world where distractions are endless and genuine connection can be rare, the ability to offer steady, meaningful support is a true gift. 
  To fully grasp what it means to be supportive, it’s important to understand its emotional depth. Supportiveness isn't about fixing problems for someone else. Instead, it's about standing beside them as they face what’s hard. It’s offering your presence—not your solutions. When someone is struggling, they often don’t need advice right away. They need to know they’re not alone. They need to feel safe in expressing themselves without fear of being judged or dismissed. That emotional safety is the foundation of support, and it starts with your willingness to be vulnerable too. 
  Trust is essential in any supportive relationship. Without trust, support can feel shallow or performative. But when trust is built through consistent actions—like showing up when it matters, keeping confidences, and listening without jumping to conclusions—your support becomes something the other person can lean on. It's this trust that allows others to open up, to speak their truth, and to feel a little less burdened by the weight they carry. Over time, your reliability becomes a source of strength, not just in moments of crisis but in everyday life.
