Much of the history of United States defense over the course of 250 years has been a story of success. Insulated by two oceans and mostly friendly neighbors, but constantly ambitious abroad, America has dared mighty things and often achieved them, argues defense analyst Michael O'Hanlon. After growing into a continental power, largely through force of arms, during the first half of its history, it then led the way to coalition victories in two world wars, pursued peace in the Cold War, and has contributed to the most democratic period in human history.

In Hands Off My Food!, Dr. Sina McCullough exposes the hidden forces manipulating what ends up on your plate—from unelected bureaucrats making top-down decisions about your food, to multinational biotech corporations pushing untested technologies into the food supply, to regulatory frameworks that prioritize industry profits over public health. With clarity, urgency, and meticulously sourced research, this book reveals how the basic right to choose what we eat is being undermined—often without our knowledge or consent.

What if the most dangerous force in economics isn’t greed or fraud—but agreement? In Collapse by Committee, James G. Woods II investigates the economic disasters that weren’t caused by lone wolves or rogue traders, but by groups of educated, well-intentioned leaders who, together, made catastrophic decisions. Across decades and continents, history reveals a troubling truth: when ego meets consensus and data is buried under politics, markets fall hard.

Let's face it—no one wants to become an expert in health care. But here you are, looking at this audiobook, which means you or someone you love is about to dive headfirst into the confusing labyrinth of insurance forms, hospitals, nursing homes, and of course, the ever elusive skilled nursing facility (what does that even mean, right?). But don't worry, you're in good hands.

This little book discusses paths to address environmental conflicts based on a restorative justice perspective of imagining, practicing, and living justice. It proposes an approach that understands the relationship between humankind and environment beyond the narrow conception of homo economicus, considering the human beings in their social, political, economic, historic, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and ecological dimensions, as well as in their connection with nature and non-human entities.

Dark Racism examines how racism persists in modern society without relying on overt hatred or explicit language. Rather than focusing on individual prejudice, the book reveals how inequality is produced and sustained through policies, economic incentives, and institutions that present themselves as neutral and fair. Racism's harm today is often bureaucratic, procedural, and normalized—making it harder to see, easier to deny, and more difficult to challenge.

Why Not U.S.? Steal the Good Stuff—Better Pay, Saner Schedules, Safer Worksites, Calmer Schools—Real Fixes for Workers and Families is for anyone who’s felt the daily math doesn’t work: a nurse expected to clock in before childcare opens, a parent trapped between school hours and shift work, or a family one surprise bill away from chaos. Avery Hartwell translates policy into plain English—no partisan shouting, no academic fog—so you can actually see how real solutions could land in your town, your workplace, and your kid’s classroom.

More than a toolkit, Transforming Public Safety is a rallying cry for those committed to doing the work right. At a time when CVI is gaining national attention—but also risks dilution—this book reinforces what must never be lost: precision, purpose, and proximity to those at the center of gun violence.

The number of independently owned optometry practices has fallen from nearly 75 percent to less than half, and the trend continues. Dr. Kurt Steele believes it is time to reverse that. In We’re Not Selling, We’re Winning, Dr. Steele reveals the proven business systems that helped him build a $4 million practice while working fewer hours and creating a team that truly loves coming to work. From hiring and leadership to metrics and creating stronger patient relationships without ever feeling like you’re selling, this audiobook has the blueprint for successfully reaching your goals.

Vaccines, Viruses, and Villains explores the tangled web of public health, power, and perception. Blending investigative critique with compelling storytelling, the book dives into the origins of medical controversies—from the vaccine-autism debate to the influence of elite figures and institutions. It questions official narratives, highlights suppressed voices, and examines how fear, misinformation, and control intersect in modern medicine.

Med tal og fortællinger viser Kaare Dybvad Bek i denne bog, at import af arbejdskraft næppe er den store økonomiske gevinst, som nogle politikere og arbejdsgiverorganisationer hævder. Samtidig skaber den fortsatte indvandring problemer for sammenholdet i daginstitutioner, på skoler og i vores lokalsamfund. Vi er i gang med et stort socialt eksperiment, som vi ikke kender konsekvenserne af, mener Dybvad.

The world has witnessed almost everything: cannibalism born of famine, slavery normalized by law, genocide industrialized and justified, the Holocaust carried out in the name of order and purity. We comforted ourselves with the belief that these horrors belonged to the past, that humanity had learned its final lessons. Yet there was one thing history had not fully rehearsed: the systematic persecution of migrants as a global norm. This book argues that we are now living through precisely that moment.

Can learning about Medicare actually be fun? Probably not, but it doesn’t have to be miserable like most books will make you feel. What about the best-kept secret in all of Medicare? That money-saving product takes commission dollars away from insurance agents, so they never speak of it.

AI is inescapable, from its mundane uses online to its increasingly consequential decision-making in courtrooms, job interviews, and wars. The ubiquity of AI is so great that it might produce public resignation—a sense that the technology is our shared fate. As economist Maximilian Kasy shows in The Means of Prediction, artificial intelligence, far from being an unstoppable force, is irrevocably shaped by human decisions—choices made to date by the ownership class that steers its development and deployment.

Daddis argues that ever since the Second World War's fateful conclusion, faith in and fear of war became central to Americans' thinking about the world around them. With war pervading nearly all aspects of American society, an interplay between blind faith and existential fear framed US policymaking and grand strategy, often with tragic results.
