  The Unindexed Mind: Footnotes from the Storm is the follow-up to the original chaos—part journal, part philosophy, part stand-up set written in the eye of a hurricane. This isn't self-help. It's self-interrogation. These are rants, reflections, and stories collected from the trenches of working-class America and the cluttered corners of a mind that refuses to be simplified. From conspiracy logic to retail breakdowns, from profound loneliness to sudden laughter in the face of it—this is not a polished manifesto. It's a footnote collection from a storm you didn't know you were in. If you're tired of curated wisdom and sanitized thinking, step inside. This book won't save you. But it might help you feel a little less insane.

  A worldwide exploration of the history, purpose, and inescapable influence of the Iliad and the Odyssey that will inspire listeners to think anew about Homer's work 
   
   
    
  No one knows whether Homer was a real person, but there is no doubt that the epic poems assembled under his name are foundations of Western literature. The Iliad and the Odyssey—with their tales of the Trojan War, Achilles, Odysseus and Penelope, the Cyclops, the beautiful Helen of Troy, and the petulant gods—have inspired us for over two and a half millennia and influenced writers from Plato to Virgil, Pope to Joyce, and Dante to Margaret Atwood. 
   
   
    
  In this graceful and sweeping book, Alberto Manguel traces the lineage of Homer's poems. He examines their original purpose, either as allegory or record of history; surveys the challenges the pagan poems presented to the early Christian world; and looks at their reception after the Reformation through the present day. In this revised and expanded edition, Manguel ignites new ways of thinking about these classic works.

  Following the end of the Cold War, the world experienced a remarkable wave of democratization. Over the next two decades, numerous authoritarian regimes transitioned to democracies, and it seemed that authoritarianism as a political model was fading. But as recent events have shown, things have clearly changed. 
   
   
   
  In Dictating the Agenda, authors Alexander Cooley and Alexander Dukalskis reveal how today's authoritarian states are actively countering liberal ideas and advocacy surrounding human rights and democracy across various global governance domains. The transformed global context has unlocked for authoritarian states the possibility to contend with Western liberal soft power in new, traditionally "non-political" ways. Cooley and Dukalskis ultimately advance a theory of authoritarian snapback, the process in which non-democratic states limit the transnational resonance of liberal ideas at home and advance anti-liberal norms and ideas into the global public sphere. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from a range of evidence, this book doesn't just reveal the limits of the liberal influence taken for granted across the world. It offers a novel theory of how authoritarian governments figured out how to exploit and repurpose the same actors, tools, and norms that once exclusively promoted and sustained US-backed liberalism.
