Nerd Faith
From TikTok's Nerdy Priest comes thoughtful and inspirational reflections on large theological questions through the lens of pop culture. In a series of short, easily digestible questions and answers, Faith and Fandom aims to provide alternative perspective on big theological questions. True to her handle, she draws inspiration from her Ph.D. in Medieval Studies and her favorite books, movies, and shows, such as The Chronicles of Narnia, Star Wars, Star Trek, Ted Lasso, E.T., and more, to deliver relatable, bite-sized sermons in a fun and engaging tone. Following four key themes of Wonder, Faith, Hope, and Love, and with topics ranging from Biblical authority and contradictions, deconstructing and reconstructing Christianity, what it means to love our enemies, and more, Rachel Kessler, offers spiritual reflections to show glimpses of God’s wonder and mystery. She tackles questions about her understanding of the Trinity or the Virgin Birth, how she understands Jesus's crucifixion beyond a substitutionary punishment for our sins, what faith means to her, and more. Meant for people who believe in or struggle with Christianity, either as Christians or ex-Christians, as well as the spiritually curious, Faith and Fandom perfectly combines theology and pop culture as an easy entrance into important spiritual topics.

Stuck
Why fifty years of changemaking and reform haven't fixed Congress—and what that reveals about American democracy. Congress, the central democratic institution in the United States, is hanging on by a thread. On January 6, 2021, a violent attack on the Capitol Building left five people dead, and threats and attacks against politicians are on the rise. In Stuck, Maya Kornberg chronicles the efforts of congressional reformers over the last fifty years and documents the mounting forces that have kept their reforms from creating meaningful change. The "Watergate babies" of 1974, the Contract with America conservatives of 1994, and the historic 2018 class fueled by backlash to Donald Trump all represent younger, more diverse, and less entrenched members who arrived in Washington energized and idealistic. Kornberg reveals the ways Congress has become increasingly inhospitable to change. Political violence, astronomical campaign costs, relentless fundraising demands, shrinking staff, and centralized party leadership all constrain the ability of new members to legislate and represent their constituents. Social media, while offering new platforms for political expression, has also heightened harassment and fed a performative culture that rewards spectacle over substance. Bolstered by dozens of interviews, congressional records, and the voices of lawmakers past and present—including Henry Waxman, Toby Moffett, Phil English, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Lauren Underwood—Stuck offers a sobering portrait of a legislative body paralyzed by its own internal dynamics. Kornberg outlines tangible reforms that could restore Congress's capacity to function and amplify the power of its newest members. At a time when Americans are losing faith in democracy's most representative institution, Stuck makes the case for how it could be saved.

Who is Government?
Who works for the government and why does their work matter? Michael Lewis, bestselling author of The Big Short and The Fifth Risk, along with an all-star team of writers and storytellers, takes us on a riveting journey into a hidden world'A timely reminder of the quiet dedication and skill of the people who work every day to make this country work' - Barack Obama, President Obama's 2025 Summer ReadsThe government is a vast, complex system that citizens pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favourite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they’re digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Who is Government? shows how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters.

The Solidarity Economy
The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empireAfter India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. The Solidarity Economy examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets. Between the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programs. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programs emphasized decentralization, privatization, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavor by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanizing spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state. Drawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, The Solidarity Economy reconstructs the political economy of these markets—from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee—shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism.

Resurgence and Revolution
A riveting current history of the Kurdish rebel PKK groupAliza Marcus' new book tells the remarkable story of Kurdish revolution in the Middle East led by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) – the rebel group whose insurgency in Turkey has impacted countries, conflicts, and Kurdish demands throughout the region. Combining reportage and scholarship, Resurgence and Revolution explores the PKK's resurgence from the brink of defeat after the capture of its leader, Abdullah Ocalan, in 1999, and the brutal internal split that followed. The book tells the story of how Ocalan – operating from prison – reshaped the PKK to extend the group's influence beyond Turkey's borders, setting the stage for the group's dominance of northeastern Syria and the unlikely partnership between its allied forces and the U.S. in the fight against ISIS. Based on interviews with PKK fighters, their supporters, and opponents in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Europe, Marcus traces the group's ability to maintain power in Turkey and extend its activities across borders, using PKK rebels' own voices to show why young people join and fight for the group and its affiliates in Syria and Iran. For the more than 30 million Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria—and for the leaders of these countries—the PKK is a force that cannot be ignored. Understanding the PKK and what drives its supporters is crucial for understanding Kurdish demands and potential solutions. The fall of the Assad regime, and a new peace process between Turkey and the PKK has changed the dynamics for Kurdish demands and their control over territory in Syria. Resurgence and Revolution is a compelling and necessary read for understanding the impact of a resurgent PKK, the future of the Middle East, and the enduring struggle of the Kurds to rule themselves.
Teaching Toward Slow Hope
Reimagining college as a space for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Teaching Toward Slow Hope reveals what happens when higher education dares to become something more than transactional. Rather than positioning education as a financial investment, this book reimagines college as a space where students cultivate the skills and relationships needed for "collaborative survival" in an increasingly unpredictable world. Against a backdrop of mental health crises, ecological instability, and structural inequality, Douglas Haynes traces how students and educators across the Upper Midwest are remaking college into a place for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Through on-the-ground reporting and interviews with students, Haynes describes the impacts of dynamic, place-based educational programs. He takes readers on a journey from urban gardens in Milwaukee to restored oak savannas in Madison, and from a community food hub in Kalamazoo to the shore of Lake Superior. At the heart of the programs he visits is a shared commitment to what Haynes calls practices of slow hope: deep listening, reciprocity, collaboration, and embodied learning. Haynes evokes the experiences of students harvesting native seeds, cooking with local produce, gathering community histories, and learning to see their landscapes anew. Many of these students are first-generation or struggling with anxiety or affording college. From their experiences emerges a deeply human story of transformation based in place, community, and care. Teaching Toward Slow Hope offers educators, administrators, and anyone invested in the future of higher education a powerful new lens for thinking about what college is really for.
A Little History of Mathematics
A lively, accessible history of mathematics throughout the ages and across the globe
Mathematics is fundamental to our daily lives. Science, computing, economics-all aspects of modern life rely on some kind of maths. But how did our ancestors think about numbers? How did they use mathematics to explain and understand the world around them? Where do numbers even come from?
In this Little History, Snezana Lawrence traces the fascinating history of mathematics, from the Egyptians and Babylonians to Renaissance masters and enigma codebreakers. Like literature, music, or philosophy, mathematics has a rich history of breakthroughs, creativity and experimentation. And its story is a global one. We see Chinese Mathematical Art from 200 BCE, the invention of algebra in Baghdad's House of Wisdom, and sangaku geometrical theorems at Japanese shrines. Lawrence goes beyond the familiar names of Newton and Pascal, exploring the prominent role women have played in the history of maths, including Emmy Noether and Maryam Mirzakhani.
