Footprints
With sharp intellect and warm humor, Lionel Morrison tells the story of the struggle for freedom in South Africa and beyond, revealing the intimate experience of grand geopolitical shiftsApartheid in South Africa was arbitrary and ferocious-its end is widely celebrated. Yet the monumental difficulties faced by the movement for liberation and the sacrifices made by ordinary yet remarkable individuals have been hidden in the broad sweep of time. Celebrated journalist Lionel Morrison brings this history to life, honoring his forgotten comrades. He shares memories as a defendant in the Treason Trial and of periods in prison before being forced to flee South Africa as a stow away, meeting leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement, the heady days of pan-African and Asian nationalism, and fighting racism in Britain. Completed by Liz Morrison after her husband’s death, Footprints is an ode to community, truth, and resistance.

The Trinity
A striking triptych once displayed in countless African American households, the Trinity typically features Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr., and John F. Kennedy. More than decoration, these portraits were deliberate acts of memory and quiet resistance, a medium through which African Americans asserted their own narratives of hope, leadership, and the fight for justice.In this provocative history, Sharron Wilkins Conrad traces the Trinity across several decades, showing how African Americans didn’t merely remember the civil rights movement; they shaped its meaning. The Trinity reveals why Kennedy’s image hung beside King and Christ, while Lyndon B. Johnson, despite signing landmark legislation such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, remained largely unheralded. Kennedy’s charisma, symbolic promise, and perceived martyrdom placed him among sacred icons, while Johnson—seen as transactional and confronted by the era’s growing impatience—never secured the same emotional legacy. In a gripping exploration of memory and meaning-making, Wilkins Conrad reveals how communities create historical truths by elevating some leaders, sidelining others, and preserving their own visions in defiance of the official record.

Iran's Grand Strategy
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Shia RevivalNow with a new afterword by the author, this gripping account overturns simplistic portrayals of Iran as a theocratic pariah state, revealing how its strategic moves on the world stage are driven by two pervasive threats—external aggression and internal dissolutionIran presents one of the most significant foreign policy challenges for America and the West, yet very little is known about what the country’s goals really are. Vali Nasr examines Iran’s political history in new ways to explain its actions and ambitions on the world stage, showing how, behind the veneer of theocracy and Islamic ideology, today’s Iran is pursuing a grand strategy aimed at securing the country internally and asserting its place in the region and the world. Drawing on memoirs, oral histories, and original in-depth interviews with Iranian decision makers, Nasr brings to light facts and events in Iran’s political history that have been overlooked until now. He traces the roots of Iran’s strategic outlook to its experiences over the past four decades of war with Iraq in the 1980s and the subsequent American containment of Iran, invasion of Iraq in 2003, and posture toward Iran thereafter. Nasr reveals how these experiences have shaped a geopolitical outlook driven by pervasive fear of America and its plans for the Middle East. Now with an afterword by the author that addresses recent developments in Iran’s domestic and world affairs, Iran’s Grand Strategy challenges the notion that Iran’s foreign policy simply reflects its revolutionary values or theocratic government. It provides invaluable insights into what Iran wants and why, explaining the country’s resistance to the United States, its nuclear ambitions, and its pursuit of influence and proxies across the Middle East.
On America
A timely volume for America250 that illuminates what America means—and what it means to be an American.As Americans mark the semiquincentennial of their republic’s birth, they are deeply divided over the nature and meaning of the American Founding. Does the United States rest on an intrinsically racist basis, as is now so often claimed? Did the Declaration of Independence commit the United States to a perpetual revolution aimed at liberating the American people—and others—from all inherited constraints? If America’s framers were neither vile racists nor wild-eyed radicals, were they at least good liberals? They were in fact none of these things. In On America: How to Understand the Legacy of 1776, Russell Kirk, one of the most important and brilliant thinkers of the twentieth century, explains that America is not an “experiment,” but rather a particular expression of the entire Western heritage. The Founding of the United States should be understood as an essentially conservative act, writes Kirk, and is therefore an achievement in which sober-minded Americans ought to take pride. Besides fresh, accessible essays on the Declaration of Independence and the Founding period, On America includes Kirk’s insightful reflections on wise American statesmen from John Adams to Abraham Lincoln to (surprisingly) Eugene McCarthy, as well as his interpretations of great American writers from Nathaniel Hawthorne to Robert Frost to Flannery O’Connor.
Good Families Don''t
From the author of the classic Love You Forever, the bestselling picture book for 3-to-7-year-olds about a pesky fart monster is back for a new generation of readers! For fans of laugh-out-loud stories like No One Likes a Fart by Zoë Foster Blake. When Carmen tries to tell her parents that there''s a gas-tly surprise on her bed, they don''t believe her. "Good families like ours do not have farts," they say. But when they go upstairs to check and the fart attacks, Carmen is left to deal with the stinky situation!A refreshed edition of this story is brought to life with brand-new art by New York Times–bestselling illustrator Joy Ang for the whole family (and their farts) to enjoy.
Summer
''Can''t you see that I don''t care what anybody says?'' Charity Royall lives in the small New England village of North Dormer. Born among outcasts from the Mountain beyond, she is rescued by lawyer Royall and lives with him as his ward. Never allowed to forget her disreputable origins Charity despises North Dormer and rebels against the stifling dullness of the tight-knit community surrounding her. Her boring job in the local library is interrupted one day by the arrival of a young visiting architect, Lucius Harney, whose good looks and sophistication arouse her passionate nature. As their relationship grows, so too does Charity''s conflict with her guardian; darker undercurrents start to come to the surface.Summer is often compared to Wharton''s other New England story, Ethan Frome, and it shares the same intensity of feeling and repression. Wharton regarded it as one of her best works, and its compelling story of burgeoning sexuality and illicit desire has a strikingly modern and troubling ambiguity.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Where Time Its Silence Keeps
In the spirit of monk-poets Hanshan, Thomas Merton, and Philip Wallen
Trappist monk Paul Quenon spends his days in prayer, contemplation, and the monastery kitchen. These poems reflect those places and those moments. The Kentucky knobs play a role, as do the creatures and birds that live there. Nocturnal vigils, too, are important to the poems, and some of them were written like hymns to be sung rather than spoken. This is the work of a poet at the height of his powers, in his ninth decade of a life well-lived.
The book also includes a rare interview with the poet, which includes this: “I want a poem to be a poem. It is more than descriptive prose, more than an account of the state of my soul, a record of what I’ve experienced, information about my spiritual life. A poem steps into a space of its own. It nudges along with a spirit of its own, and is best when it surprises me. If I know ahead of time what I want to write, that is a drag and will bore the reader. Best to be free of pre-conceived ideas, and best when I’m obedient to the poem, to whatever it wants.” (Brother Paul Quenon)
Red Card
The World Cup is here, but what function does a worldwide tournament play in an increasingly belligerent police state, with Donald Trump at the hel? ublishing on the eve of the soccer World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, this concise, power-packed philippic provides a critical take on the dark underbelly of the beautiful game at its most storied moment. At the heart of this analysis by acclaimed sportswriter and scholar Jules Boykoff, who himself played soccer professionally, is the concept of sportswashing, where political leaders use sports to stoke nationalism and legitimize themselves on the world stage, deflecting from chronic problems at home. Step forward the recipient of the newly cast FIFA Peace Prize, Donald J. Trump, a titan unrivaled in squeegeeing every drop of personal wealth and prestige from hosting the competition. In this, he is ably assisted by a governing body of global soccer dripping in patronage and corruption. In these pages Boykoff demonstrates that it is possible to simultaneously treasure the skills and athleticism displayed on the pitch while lamenting their exploitation by malevolent powerbrokers for whom love of the game means nothing next to turning a buck or harvesting prestige. And, as Red Card so skillfully shows, this bait and switch is not confined to soccer. Precisely the same legerdemain will be used to distract and enrich when the Olympic Games come to Los Angeles two years from now.

Poslední ghetto
Poslední ghetto je srozumitelným, poutavým i bolestným čtením o tom, jak vypadal život vězňů v Terezíně. Každodennost, kterou Hájková čtenáři předkládá, nemá podobu sentimentalizující fotografické momentky. Nejedná se o únik z kruté reality života v ghettu do poslední bašty nezkaleného lidství. Autorka nabízí pohled do mnohovrstevnaté minulosti, jakési minulé přítomnosti, kde je základní charakteristikou lidí i ve velice vypjatých situacích jejich vlastní jednání. Pečlivá práce s obrovským množstvím osobních svědectví a dokumentů tvoří základní kámen úspěchu této knihy. A ačkoli Hájková čtenáři předkládá vrchovatou míru výpovědí, jmen a situací, poměrně hladce sleduje hlavní výkladovou linku. Ukázky vzpomínek nemají povahu pouhého vršení důkazů, pod jejichž tíhou by měl čtenář rezignovat na vlastní uvažování. Přínos Posledního ghetta se ovšem nevyčerpává s novým výkladem historie Terezína. Hájková v knize opakovaně konstatuje, že její práci lze číst i jako ukázku, jak analyzovat vězeňská společenství, či dokonce společnosti v extrémních podmínkách. Dr Anna Hájková je associate professor na britské University of Warwick. Vystudovala dějiny, sociologii a anglistiku na Humboldtově univerzitě v Berlíně a obdržela doktorát na University of Toronto v Kanadě. Rukopis knihy Poslední ghetto byl vyznamenán cenami Herberta Steinera a Irmy Rosenbergové. Hájková publikuje v českých, německých, britských, amerických a izraelských novinách.
Posmrtný život dat
Kniha otevírá otázku, co se děje s našimi digitálními stopami po smrti a jak technologie proměňují samotné chápání konečnosti. Sociální sítě, archivy zpráv i algoritmicky oživované vzpomínky udržují zemřelé v komunikačním prostoru živých a vytvářejí nový stav „posmrtelnosti“. Digitální identity a nástroje umělé inteligence dokonce umožňují simulovat přítomnost těch, kdo již mezi námi nejsou, čímž se stírá tradiční hranice mezi životem a smrtí. Komu patří „digitální ostatky“ a kdo má právo rozhodovat o jejich dalším osudu? Kniha vybízí k veřejné debatě o odpovědnosti platforem i uživatelů za kolektivní digitální dědictví, které po sobě zanecháváme.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity 13

Race in Transit
At the turn of the twentieth century, life in Ottoman Syria was upended by European and US colonial and capital expansion. Many people responded by migrating to the United States. In doing so, they stepped into the world of international migration, where they had to navigate overlapping states and migration infrastructures – shipping companies and ticketing agents, health inspectors and border police, universities and kinship networks – that each facilitated, restricted, and policed movement. With this book, Randa Tawil follows the itineraries of the early Syrian diaspora, stitching together migrants' travels across archives from Beirut, Marseille, Liverpool, Manila, Washington, D.C., Michigan, and Texas. She reveals the overlapping and contradicting ways in which race was forged globally in the early twentieth century and its effects on Syrians in the United States. Syrian migrants encountered multiple imperial and national legal regimes during transit, and their varying relationships with different empires set the conditions under which migrants were considered "desirable" or "undesirable" once they reached US borders. Focusing on the experiences of those on the move, Race in Transit makes migrants the agents of a world history that has too often relegated them to the sidelines.
Halo: Silentium
The final novel of the Forerunner Saga trilogy by science fiction legend Greg Bear-set in the Halo universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!One hundred thousand years ago. Chaos rules the final days of the Forerunner empire. The Flood-a horrifying, shape-changing, and unstoppable parasite-has arrived in force, aided by unexpected allies, and internal strife has desperately weakened Forerunner defenses. Facing the imminent collapse of their civilization, the Forerunners known as the Ur-Didact and the Librarian reveal what they know about the relationship between the long-vanished race of the Precursors and the Flood. While the Precursors created many technological species, including those of the Forerunners and humanity itself, the roots of the Flood may be found in an act of enormous barbarity, carried out beyond our galaxy ten million years before. Because of that savagery, a greater evil looms. Only the Ur-Didact and the Librarian-husband and wife pushed into desperate conflict-hold the keys to a solution. As they face the consequences of a mythic tragedy, one of them must now commit the greatest atrocity of all time-a shocking act designed to prevent an insane abomination from dominating the entire galaxy...
