  “The Spring and Autumn & Warring States Periods” takes you on a journey through one of the most transformative eras in Chinese history, marked by endless battles, brilliant strategies, and the rise and fall of powerful leaders. 
  The story begins with the collapse of the Western Zhou dynasty, paving the way for a fragmented political landscape. The book brings to life the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period, such as Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Zhuang of Zheng, and the Seven Warring States, which competed for supremacy. Key events include Duke Zhuang's rise to power, the cunning reforms of Guan Zhong in Qi, and the power struggles like the Wu-Yue rivalry and the pivotal partitioning of Jin into Zhao, Wei, and Han. 
  Iconic characters leap from the pages: Duke Zhuang of Zheng, who asserted dominance through strategic alliances and decisive victories; Guan Zhong, whose reforms transformed Qi into a powerhouse; and military geniuses like Sun Bin and his rivalry with Pang Juan. Philosophers like Confucius, Laozi, and Mozi also emerge, their ideas responding to the chaos and laying the intellectual groundwork for Chinese civilization. 
  Major reforms, like Shang Yang’s legal transformations in Qin, herald the transition from feudalism to centralized states, culminating in the Qin dynasty's unification of China. The book captures the drama of this era with vivid storytelling, exploring the lives of farmers, soldiers, and scholars amid upheaval. 
  This period shaped China’s political and cultural future, making this book essential for understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or curious about China’s roots, this accessible account brings an extraordinary epoch to life.

  Progressive activism today is increasingly spearheaded by the nation's youngest voters. Gen Z—those born between 1997 and 2012—has come of age in a decade of upheavals. They have witnessed the election of Donald Trump, the murder of George Floyd, and the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, and they have lived under the constant threats of mass shootings and climate change. In response, left-leaning Zoomers, particularly women and LGBTQ people, have banded together to take action. 
   
   
   
  This book tells the story of Gen Z's growing political participation—and why it is poised to drive U.S. politics leftward. Bringing together original data and compelling narrative—including nearly one hundred interviews with Gen Z activists and several national surveys—political scientist Melissa Deckman explores the world of youth-led progressive organizing, highlighting the crucial importance of gender and sexuality. She reveals why women and LGBTQ Zoomers are participating in politics at higher levels than their straight male peers, creating a historic "reverse gender gap." Deckman takes listeners inside Gen Z's fight for a more inclusive and just future, sharing stories of their efforts to defend reproductive rights, prevent gun violence, stem climate change, and win political office.

  Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. Leading trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury to the body—invisible but tangible, and most importantly, treatable. 
   
   
   
  Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the stellate ganglion. The symptoms of post-traumatic stress are the same for all of us, whether from childhood poverty or abandonment, the ravages of war, or the brutality of sexual assault. Dr. Lipov's pioneering procedure appears to treat injury to the stellate ganglion, relieving even the worst symptoms of PTSD—irritability, hypervigilance, insomnia, and more—in a fifteen-minute treatment. 
   
    
   
  Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society.
