On the Wings of Eagles


A soaring, heart-wrenching, and hopeful family memoir of a mostly-forgotten Middle Eastern Jewish community. After dwelling for centuries on the poverty-stricken fringes of Yemeni society, the desert nation’s proud Jewish community was forced to emigrate, en masse, to Israel soon after that nation’s founding. In this deeply personal and historically rich family memoir, Naomi Kehati Bronner opens a window into the unique world in which her parents grew up—a Yemini-Jewish world whose ways remained virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages. Suddenly finding themselves forcibly thrust into the modern world, Kehati Bronner’s parents and their immigrant community struggle to adjust and assimilate, while still raising their children to remember and honor their ancient traditions. Her own deeply personal story of assimilation, reinvention, and self-discovery not only sheds light on the complexity of modern Israel, but mirrors the immigrant journey of countless people around the world—and in the case of Jews, Israel’s powerful role in providing a new sense of peoplehood.

America in the 21st Century


A sweeping political, economic, and social history of the United States from 2000 to 2025. America’s 21st century began with a bug—and nearly ended with another. Having survived the Y2k scare, the United States, having ended the Soviet Empire, expected to settle down into a period of quiet, if uninspiring, growth. What followed was anything but calm. After the 9/11 attacks, Americans were pulled inexorably into a pair of wars in the Middle East that saw President George W. Bush’s popularity go from nearly universal to nearly the worst in history. Bush’s presidency was finished off by the “Subprime Mortgage Crisis,” which in part enabled the rise of a young Barack Obama to the presidency. Instead of uniting America, Obama divided it further as Congress descended into years of futility while the American working class collapsed and American industry left. In 2016, Donald Trump ran on the platform of restoring the American dream, but was hamstrung by “resist” and “lawfare,” two relatively new political strategies that limited his achievements. A second “bug,” COVID-19, struck America in Trump’s final year, building enough dissatisfaction that, under questionable circumstances, Joe Biden was elected. A dissatisfied America boomeranged to make Trump only the second president in history to win an election, lose it, then win it again. Throughout, America’s economy, technology, and social structure changed in volcanic ways.

I Still Am A Woman, Pissed-Off & Curious


In 1976, Su Friedrich, the experimental filmmaker and visual artist known for exploring themes of identity, gender, and personal narrative through avant-garde cinema, embarked on a transformative six-month solo trip through nine countries in North and West Africa. Through her letters, diary entries, and images captured in black and white on her 35mm Olympus, she documented her day-to-day encounters with the people she meets from Algeria to Morocco (during the Western Sahara War), Burkina Faso to Nigeria (during a coup). Friedrich not only weaves a rich tapestry of Africa in the mid-1970s, but she also imbues each page with her thoughts, feelings, and discoveries. She travels south through the Sahara by hitching rides on trucks and recalls her surprise when she appeared in the central market of a town and was quickly invited to stay at the home of one of the curious locals. Thirty-nine years later, Friedrich has unearthed her journals, photographs and letters and has constructed a record of her discoveries on a journey that will resonate with readers who love to travel and fans with wanderlust.

The Heirs of the Arctic


The Falcks are one of the most powerful families in Norway. And where there is power, there is envy and greed. December 2015. Six months after the revelations in a long-lost testament testament shook the Falck family to its core. Hans Falck, who had most to gain from the contentious will, lingers in a hospital bed in northern Norway, gravely injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Sasha Falck, who succeeded her father as the head of the family's foundation, is pushing for a research expedition to the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Sea. Yet there are reasons to be cautious - relations with Russia are strained, with Norway's old Cold War adversary reborn. The stakes are further raised when reports reach Sasha's ears of a foreign spy in the foundation, sparking a desperate hunt for the mole. And as the expedition nears the spectacular landscapes of the High Arctic, international tensions threaten to spill over into outright conflict - with fateful consequences for the Falck clan. The Heirs of the Arctic, the second novel in Aslak Nore's bestselling Falck Saga, traces a tale of illicit love, geopolitical cat-and-mouse games and bitter power struggles, as the fate of one powerful Norwegian family becomes emblematic of the challenges facing Europe in the new century. Translated from the Norwegian by Séan Kinsella

Why Socialism Struggles


A voice ofreason for a nation at an economic crossroads.  There are fewissues more topical these days than government and the economy. Many politicaland public figures throw around terms like socialism, fascism, and capitalismwithout knowing what they mean or defining them for their audience. Butunderstanding these systems and their issues is critical in helping Americansdecide what ideas and proposals for action they should and should not support.  In Why SocialismStruggles, economic policy expert Doug Cardell tackles this hotly debated topicwith clarity, logic, and evidence. Written in an engaging question-and-answerformat, this book breaks down complex economic principles into digestible insightsand addresses the most common—and often misunderstood—questions aboutsocialism: What is socialism, really? Why do people keep proposing it? Has itever worked? Drawing from decades of research, historical examples, andreal-world data, Doug explains why socialism consistently leads to inefficiencyand the erosion of individual freedoms. Each answer builds toward a powerfulargument: Despite its appeal in theory, socialism fails in practice because itmisunderstands human behavior, incentives, and the role of prices incoordinating economic activity.  Accessible,respectful, and thought-provoking, Why Socialism Struggles is essential readingfor students, curious citizens, and anyone seeking to understand the economicsystems that shape our world—and why free markets, for all their imperfections,remain the most effective path to prosperity.

Space Journal


A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the seventeenth century to the present day. An endless source of fascination, space is both alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. Space Journal is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures. In drawings and diagrams, plans, charts, and paintings, a great range of scientists and dreamers each tell their own story of an element of space exploration. Their visions were largely based in the scientific understanding of their time, but as it turns out, many of the principles remain. Moving beyond a collection of space snapshots, this book benefits from the unmatched insights of journalist and collector Dallas Campbell, who weaves together priceless memorabilia, revolutionary experiments, and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with the unknown throughout history. From Galileo’s shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy’s own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell’s lavishly illustrated orbit sets out the radical thinkers and creatives who envisioned us leaving our planet - or having guests stop by - and in some cases, made it happen. 517 color illustrations.
