Reese William J.: The Calculating Boy

The Calculating Boy

Zerah Colburn, America's First Child Celebrity

The Memoir of Concha Lombardo de Miramón, 1835–1869

A Feisty Woman

A bold and incisive personal manifesto on the ways sexism is used in capitalist systems to exploit women, using algorithms that pressure them into spending money on a distorted ideal of beauty, motherhood, and success. The age-old pressure to focus on either a career or building a family has been compounded by a new reality: Millennial women are often both the breadwinner and head of household—all while being told by the cosmetics industry to start Botox before it’s too late and that only the best mothers use a Zeitgeist baby carrier. Through the lens of her own experiences and influencer culture, prominent Dutch journalist and cultural critic Doortje Smithuijsen explores how seemingly innocuous phenomena like smoothie recipes and spin classes are part of a system that persists in marginalizing women by reinforcing an illusion of inadequacy. Capitalism Is Sexism is not simply about finding body positivity in the age of Ozempic or resisting the Trad Wife lifestyle; it’s about how these forces are here to captivate your attention, your earnings, and your labor—all while pointing towards an inner deficiency. With razor-sharp insight, Smithuijsen shows how difficult it is for women within this system to make choices that are truly their own.

Capitalism Is Sexism

A remarkable account of the terrible climax of the Second World War in Asia A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025 'A short but quietly devastating book, in which Overy adds new perspectives to a subject that has often been approached from a narrowly American angle... Overy's book is a sombre reminder that the border between civilisation and savagery is wafer-thin.' - Philip Snow, Literary Review In the closing months of the Second World War hundreds of thousands of Japanese, mostly civilians, died in a final outburst of violence from the air. American planes were beginning to run low on plausible targets when it was decided to use two atomic weapons in a final, terrible flourish to try to end the war. Richard Overy's remarkable new book rethinks how we should regard this last stage of the war and the role of the bombing. This book explores the way in which the willingness to kill civilians and destroy cities became normalized in the course of a horrific war as moral concerns were blunted and scientists, airmen, and politicians followed a strategy of mass destruction they would never have endorsed before the war began. But it also engages with the new scholarship that shows how complex the effort to end the war was in Japan, where 'surrender' was entirely foreign to Japanese culture.

Tokyo, Hiroshima and the Surrender of Japan

Rain of Ruin

Astonishing, unconstrained, and often unsettling-the presidential pardon is one of the most powerful tools in American government, and this indispensable book is your guide to how it defines the presidency, justice, and politics. The Constitution's Pardon Clause grants the president a power unmatched in scope and consequence. In The Presidential Pardon, legal scholar Saikrishna Prakash explores how this brief clause has grown into the most expansive and controversial tool of the modern presidency. Originally intended as a mechanism of mercy-to temper harsh laws and foster reconciliation-the pardon was once used with solemnity and circumspection. Today, it has evolved into a blunt and potent political instrument. Presidents use it to shield allies, reward supporters, fulfill campaign promises, and make political statements. In January 2025, for instance, the outgoing and incoming presidents issued major pardons-one to protect relatives and allies, the other to deliver on a pledge to his electoral coalition. These actions mark a turning point: the pardon power is no longer a curious exception to politics but increasingly a feature of it. Pardons have become a continuation of politics by other means. Prakash, a preeminent expert on constitutional law and the executive branch of government, delivers an engaging and accessible analysis of this transformation. The Presidential Pardon brings together little-known history, sharp political insight, and learned constitutional interpretation in a timely examination of executive power. As the partisan exercise of pardon grows more routine, Prakash asks: Can our rule of law survive a presidential power that is checked by no one?

A Radio 4 Book of the Week 'Fascinating . . . While the rest of us are worrying about it, Dorcas Gwata is doing something about it' - HHJ Wendy Joseph, author of Unlawful Killings 'The appetite for medical memoirs has never been greater . . . a welcome and important addition' - Independent, Books to Look Out for in 2026 Through the lives of ten young people an award-winning nurse reveals the impact of gang culture on mental health. Dorcas Gwata is an award-winning nurse specializing in mental health. She has worked closely with vulnerable young people exposed to the knife crime, sexual exploitation, drug use and poor mental health associated with gangs. In The Street Clinic, we accompany her in her work as she meets and cares for young people on the street and on their terms. We meet Fuz, who is on trial for aggravated assault. There's Abdul, who's exploring his sexuality and has been humiliated online. Louise's promising future is compromised by her controlling boyfriend. And there's Zane, whose parents' divorce opens up an emotional hole in his life that's plugged by an ill-chosen new friendship. Drawing on her own experiences of loss and social injustice, and twenty-five years on the NHS frontline, Dorcas offers a bird's-eye view of London: its multicultural population, wealth inequalities, tireless healthcare professionals and an NHS that doesn't always work for everyone. And she asks the big questions: What lies behind London's youth violence crisis? What is its impact on the mental health of its victims? How are the families of our young people and the wider community affected? Exposing some uncomfortable truths about British society, The Street Clinic is also a powerful story of resilience, strength and, ultimately, hope. With photographs by Chanel Pinnock

10 Young Lives on the Frontline of Gang Culture

The Street Clinic

In Climbing Through, Melissa Strong, a rock climber and restaurateur, unveils her remarkable journey of survival and resilience in the face of mortality after being horrifically injured by electricity. Transporting readers back to her early days in New England, Strong vividly recounts her transformation from a self-described “C” student in gym class to a sponsored rock climber. She dismantles conventional expectations, forging a distinctive path that culminates in the realization of her own restaurant venture. Navigating her uncertainties about parenthood and grappling with the challenges of infertility, Strong rebounds toward her dreams and weaves them into tangible aspirations. The vision of her restaurant takes shape, but in a fateful twist, a near-fatal encounter with a powerful electric current during the renovation process leaves her confronting the stark reality of her altered hands, once the lifeblood of her livelihood and rock-climbing passion. As she navigates the complex realm of medical intervention, enduring multiple surgeries and an arduous recovery, she discovers within herself an indomitable spirit that propels her through adversity. Climbing Through is a poignant chronicle of unwavering fortitude, an inspiring testament to the triumph of the human spirit over life’s most daunting challenges.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF PANICS AND THEIR PERIODICAL OCCURRENCE IN THE UNITED STATES (Cram Edition)

A reframing of the past and present of Black resistance-both nonviolent and violent-to white supremacy."Unsparing, erudite, and incisive." -The New YorkerNamed a Best Book of 2024 by Smithsonian * Kirkus * Chicago Review of Books * Emancipator * Ms. Magazine Black resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary, between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolence and Malcolm X's "by any means necessary." In We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson urges us to move past this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women. The dismissal of "Black violence" as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy, a distraction from the insidious, unrelenting violence of structural racism. Force-from work stoppages and property destruction to armed revolt-has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people since the days of the American and Haitian Revolutions. But violence is only one tool among many. Carter Jackson examines other, no less vital tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power of finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away. Clear-eyed, impassioned, and ultimately hopeful, We Refuse offers a fundamental corrective to the historical record, a love letter to Black resilience, and a path toward liberation. Winner of the Organization of American Historians' 2025 Darlene Clark Hines Award

A Forceful History of Black Resistance

We Refuse

A stunning memoir that transforms our understanding of a generation born at a key turning point in world history 'Very moving, very powerful . . . an extraordinarily interesting life' AMOL RAJAN 'A rough Zimbabwean equivalent of Jung Chang's Wild Swans' Financial Times 'Beautifully written . . . a truly compelling read' Spectator 'Intimate and epic' SATHNAM SANGHERA In my home country, they call me a 'bornfree'. Simukai Chigudu was one of the first generation to be born after the end of colonial rule in Zimbabwe. Growing up he heard stories about his grandfather's murder by the Rhodesian regime, how his father had been imprisoned and tortured as a student before joining the war of independence, and how his mother had thrown off the strictures of the past to build a successful career helping other women do the same. Yet Simukai's early life was also steeped in British tradition. With his classmates he sang English folk songs, read Shakespeare, played cricket. Then, in 2002, he was one of thousands to leave the country as it descended into political violence and economic collapse. His new home: a boarding school in the north of England. What followed was a culture shock that unravelled his understanding of the world, his family and himself. Chasing Freedom is his profound and remarkably moving story - that of a boy shaped through his parents' buried trauma by the great currents of late-twentieth century history. It is the story of a family haunted by the cause of liberation, and of a new generation, still searching for their promised freedom. 'A work of real power and beauty as well as disarming truthfulness' AMIA SRINIVASAN, author of The Right to Sex 'Utterly captivating . . . told with such clarity and precision that I forgot I was reading' DINA NAYERI, author of The Ungrateful Refugee 'Will teach you more about the legacies of colonialism than a hundred op-eds or a dozen textbooks' SATHNAM SANGHERA, author of Empireland 'Simukai Chigudu writes compellingly, lucidly and beautifully . . . an eye-opener' ZEINAB BADAWI, author of An African History of Africa

Coming of Age at the End of Empire

Chasing Freedom

A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less--in real, inflation-adjusted terms--than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today's patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

The American Civil War

On the highways of America, two names have stood side by side for decades: Peterbilt and Kenworth. To most drivers, it has always looked like a fierce rivalry, a silent war of pride, loyalty, and performance rolling across endless miles of asphalt. But what if everything people believed about that rivalry was only part of the story?Peterbilt vs. Kenworth: The Rivalry That Was Never Real takes you deep into the world of heavy-duty trucking, where perception often matters as much as engineering. This book pulls back the curtain on how two iconic names came to define American trucking culture, not just through machines, but through identity, storytelling, and the people behind the wheel who turned preference into belief.This is not just a story about trucks. It is about how a culture is built. It shows how drivers formed emotional loyalty to machines they trusted with their lives and livelihoods, how conversations at truck stops shaped reputations, and how design, branding, and experience slowly created the illusion of opposition between two brands that were shaped by the same industrial forces.Why does this matter? Because it reveals how industries are influenced not only by engineering, but by human perception. What looks like competition on the surface may actually be something far more strategic beneath it. When did this begin? From the early days of heavy hauling in the demanding landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, where survival on the road came before branding, and necessity forced innovation long before marketing shaped identity.Who is this book for? For truck drivers, automotive enthusiasts, industry professionals, historians, and anyone curious about how powerful brands are built and believed. For readers who have ever wondered why people defend machines with such passion, or how legends are formed in industries built on steel and labor, this story brings the answers into focus.Inside these pages, you will experience the evolution of trucking culture in a way that feels both familiar and surprising. It challenges what you think you know about rivalry, loyalty, and industrial history, and replaces it with a deeper understanding of how perception becomes reality on the open road.If you are ready to see beyond the badge on the grille and into the story behind it, this book will change the way you look at every truck you pass on the highway.Turn the page and discover the truth behind the illusion.
