Evan Stark, founder of one of America's first battered women's shelters, shows how "domestic violence" is neither primarily domestic nor necessarily violent, but a pattern of controlling behaviors more akin to terrorism and hostage-taking. Drawing on court records, interviews, and FBI statistics, Stark details coercive strategies that men use to deny women their very personhood, from "beeper games" to food logs to micromanaging dress, speech, sexual activity, and work.

Eric Klinenberg's Fighting for Air takes us into the world of preprogrammed radio shows, empty television news stations, and copycat newspapers to show how corporate ownership and control of local media has remade American political and cultural life. Klinenberg argues that the demise of truly local media stems from the federal government's malign neglect.

In 2008, Democrats won a sweeping victory, seizing the White House and the majority in both houses of Congress.

Most people do not avoid estate planning because they do not care. They avoid it because it feels uncomfortable, confusing, expensive, emotional, or too far away to matter today. Life does not wait until we feel ready. Luck or Control is a practical and deeply personal guide to understanding estate planning as more than paperwork. Lorenz shows that an estate plan is not just about money, death, taxes, or legal documents. It is about love, dignity, preparation, and making sure the people you care about are not left guessing when you can no longer speak for yourself.

We picture tyranny as a fist, a wall, a man with a weapon. Michel Foucault spent his life showing us that the most complete control wears no uniform at all. It arrives as a schedule rather than a chain, as a recommendation rather than an order, as a kindly figure in a white coat rather than an executioner. It enters the mind in childhood, through the schoolroom and the clinic and the well-meant advice of those who love us, until the watchman who once stood in the corridor has quietly moved inside, where he no longer needs to shout.

Finance plays a key role in the prosperity of the modern world—but it also brings grave dangers. We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management. Too often, though, we fail to address the greatest risk—the peril posed by our own behavior. Jon Danielsson argues that critical risk is generated from within, through the interactions of individuals and perpetuated by their beliefs, objectives, abilities, and prejudices.
