Small town librarian Amanda Jones has been called a groomer, a pedo, and a porn-pusher; she has faced death threats and attacks from strangers and friends alike. When she stood up for diverse perspectives at a public library board meeting, she became a target for extremists using book banning campaigns-funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians-in a crusade to make America more white, straight, and \"Christian\". But Amanda Jones wouldn't give up without a fight: she sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance. Mapping the book banning crisis occurring all across the nation, That Librarian draws the battle lines in the war against intellectual freedom, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our

Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to understand world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements - but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture. To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states. Spread over ten chapters (covering Russia; China; the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and Greenland and the Arctic), using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely traveled author, Prisoners of Geography looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential guide to one of the major determining factors in world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nxn539khjbctqgzmdktat.jpg?v=8ed52d2070","LIHzCQng0epI~BEgJ7xE1OKP%4og",2015,291,[157],{"id":158,"slug":159,"name":160},"01kx6nxn4epcb3bkw0xpxbvf0m","tim-marshall-gywx","Tim Marshall",[162],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":165,"themes":168,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[166,167],"informative","thought-provoking",[],{"id":170,"slug":171,"title":172,"description":173,"primary_cover_url":174,"cover_blurhash":175,"first_publish_year":176,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":177,"authors":178,"genres":183,"series":221,"enrichment":222},"01kjswbq2kjepv8d7ee6cqqxz5","fast-food-nation-nqai","Fast Food Nation","Fast Food Nation is a sweeping exposé of the American fast-food industry, tracing its history from small roadside stands to a multi-billion dollar corporate machine and revealing the hidden costs of cheap burgers: exploited migrant labor, hazardous factory conditions for meatpackers, and the systematic erosion of local food cultures.

First published in 1920 and revised repeatedly over the following decades, the book is known for its detached tone: it offers no explicit political commentary, and readers across the political spectrum have read it variously as affirmative, neutral, or anti-war.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nzgc7baqtp7npc8ge2en6.jpg?v=16f3018650","LTF?hQD%x]og.TWAWVae00x]M{Rj",2004,320,[388],{"id":389,"slug":390,"name":391},"01kq8cdssnf31yk0jjx3d4x15h","ernst-junger-8ywz","Ernst Jünger",[393,394,395,399,400],{"id":251,"name":252,"slug":253,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":396,"name":397,"slug":398,"is_fiction":19},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":263,"name":264,"slug":265,"is_fiction":20},{"id":206,"name":207,"slug":208,"is_fiction":20},[402],{"id":403,"slug":404,"name":405,"position":7,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kvkjvyne7226zgx2br86k7ym","penguin-modern-classics-adox","Penguin Modern Classics",{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":407,"themes":411,"setting_period":7,"summary":382,"content_warnings":7},[224,408,121,409,410],"gritty","philosophical","atmospheric",[],{"id":413,"slug":414,"title":415,"description":416,"primary_cover_url":417,"cover_blurhash":418,"first_publish_year":419,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":420,"authors":421,"genres":426,"series":440,"enrichment":441},"01kjv3p5ebh85dg46fmxh9skjf","hey-kiddo-xfie","Hey, Kiddo","Hey, Kiddo is a graphic memoir by Jarrett Krosoczka detailing his upbringing with an addicted mother and absent father.

In precise, searing language--at times blistering and riotous, at times soulful and exuberant--she explores the boundary between what is real and what is imagined in a life saturated with fear.

Still, when detectives asked for victims to come forward, she sent a note. With her criminal case file reopened, she saw for the first time evidence that corroborated her memories. Here were depictions of the naïve, hardworking girl she'd been, a chorister and debater, the daughter of a priest; of the two senior athletes who assaulted her and were allowed to graduate with awards; and of the faculty, doctors, and priests who had known about Crawford's assault and gone to great lengths to bury it. Now a wife, mother, and writer living on the other side of the country, Crawford learned that police had uncovered astonishing proof of an institutional silencing years before, and that unnamed powers were still trying to block her case. The slander, innuendo, and lack of adult concern that Crawford had experienced as a student hadn't been the imagined effects of trauma, after all: these were the actions of a school that prized its reputation above anything, even a child. This revelation launched Crawford on an extraordinary inquiry into the ways gender, privilege, and power shaped her experience as a girl at the gates of America's elite. Her investigation looks beyond the sprawling playing fields and soaring chapel towers of crucibles of power like St. Paul's, whose reckoning is still to come. And it runs deep into the channels of shame and guilt, witness and silencing, that dictate who can speak and who is heard in American society. An insightful, mature, beautifully written memoir, Notes on a Silencing is an arresting coming-of-age story that wrestles with an essential question for our time: what telling of a survivor's story will finally force a remedy?\" --","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx27x101a6ywejp2trpeyt23.jpg?v=195a73f9bc","LEBp5w_0Ipt6~n?FxDs.^%t7D+Rk",2020,400,[484],{"id":485,"slug":486,"name":487},"01kx27x0zrw9wv52302kf5f000","lacy-crawford-9d4g","Lacy Crawford",[489,490,494,495],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":491,"name":492,"slug":493,"is_fiction":20},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":247,"name":248,"slug":249,"is_fiction":20},{"id":255,"name":256,"slug":257,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":119,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":498,"themes":499,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[224,121,80],[],{"id":501,"slug":502,"title":503,"description":504,"primary_cover_url":505,"cover_blurhash":506,"first_publish_year":130,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":386,"authors":507,"genres":512,"series":516,"enrichment":517},"01kx2ezfad0feqns54rgfbq9m2","aftershocks-3a5e","Aftershocks","In the tradition of The Glass Castle, this “gorgeous” (The New York Times, Editors’ Choice) and deeply felt memoir from Whiting Award winner Nadia Owusu tells the “incredible story” (Malala Yousafzai) about the push and pull of belonging, the seismic emotional toll of family secrets, and the heart it takes to pull through. “In Aftershocks, Nadia Owusu tells the incredible story of her young life. How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” —MALALA YOUSAFZAI ​ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2021 SELECTED BY VULTURE, TIME, ESQUIRE, NPR, AND VOGUE! Young Nadia Owusu followed her father, a United Nations official, from Europe to Africa and back again. Just as she and her family settled into a new home, her father would tell them it was time to say their goodbyes. The instability wrought by Nadia’s nomadic childhood was deepened by family secrets and fractures, both lived and inherited. Her Armenian American mother, who abandoned Nadia when she was two, would periodically reappear, only to vanish again. Her father, a Ghanaian, the great hero of her life, died when she was thirteen. After his passing, Nadia’s stepmother weighed her down with a revelation that was either a bombshell secret or a lie, rife with shaming innuendo. With these and other ruptures, Nadia arrived in New York as a young woman feeling stateless, motherless, and uncertain about her future, yet eager to find her own identity. What followed, however, were periods of depression in which she struggled to hold herself and her siblings together. “A magnificent, complex assessment of selfhood and why it matters” (Elle), Aftershocks depicts the way she hauled herself from the wreckage of her life’s perpetual quaking, the means by which she has finally come to understand that the only ground firm enough to count on is the one written into existence by her own hand. “Full of narrative risk and untrammeled lyricism” (The Washington Post), Aftershocks joins the likes of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight and William Styron’s Darkness Visible, and does for race identity what Maggie Nelson does for gender identity in The Argonauts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2ezfaspm4khb55e9hdag3g.jpg?v=abd45b6424","LZM3Tb=Y}qW,:+O=,pt7BoIpwgV[",[508],{"id":509,"slug":510,"name":511},"01kx2ezfanvz9stpf6aa86geg2","nadia-owusu-iafq","Nadia Owusu",[513,514,515],{"id":247,"name":248,"slug":249,"is_fiction":20},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":255,"name":256,"slug":257,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":518,"themes":519,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[443,121,79],[],{"id":521,"slug":522,"title":523,"description":524,"primary_cover_url":525,"cover_blurhash":526,"first_publish_year":457,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":386,"authors":527,"genres":532,"series":539,"enrichment":540},"01kx2btkesqesybawc277gy4qd","small-doses-ertm","Small Doses","\"Comedian, writer, actress, and social media star Amanda Seales is a force of nature who has fearlessly and passionately charted her own course through life and career.

During that trip, John F. Kennedy kept a diary, never before published and until now unknown - even to Kennedy scholars. As the diary makes clear, that European trip was a turning point in the future President's life. The scion of one of America's wealthiest families, Jack Kennedy had grown up in the shadow of an adored older brother destined for greatness. For himself, Jack had intended a quiet career as a college professor or perhaps as an author. But when Joe Kennedy, Jr. was killed in the skies over the English Channel, the expectations of his family and the mantle of leadership passed on to JFK. Would he accept them? That was the question that confronted Kennedy as he traveled in the company of cabinet secretaries and generals, future presidents and prime ministers, toured a humbled Germany, and faced for the first time the power of post-war Russia and the perfidy and bloody-mindedness of Communists in power. It was on this trip, the diary shows, that Kennedy first confronted the \"long twilight struggle\" for the preservation of Western freedom that would define his Presidency. In these few months an agenda for a Presidency began to be forged. For as the closing pages of the diary make clear, it was at this time that the challenge was accepted, the mantle taken up, and Kennedy began laying plans for his first run for Congress, the first step in his journey to the White House. Prelude to Leadership offers, as Hugh Sidey says in his Introduction, an \"intriguing new trove\" of insight into the mind of a future president preparing himself for a \"still distant challenge.\" It reveals a man who, not yet thirty, understood not only that a new world drama was taking shape, but that he was destined to play a great role in it.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6naqnzdfj51pppgzcvzhkp.jpg?v=55680b8e30","L7A,n8?H0KE1R,D*WBt7~qWXt6M|",1995,210,[690],{"id":691,"slug":692,"name":693},"01kjqz7r1k64py8xn70jg5n7bw","john-f-kennedy-abuy","John F.

On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.Critically adored novelist Javier Cercas originally set out to write a novel about this pivotal moment, but determined it had already gained an air of myth, or, through the annual broadcast of video clips, had at least acquired the fictional taint of reality television. Cercas turned to nonfiction, and his vivid descriptions of the archival footage frame a narrative that traverses the line between history and art, creating a daring new account of this watershed moment in modern Spanish history.The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25pkb76xrh29vfj8vdmy9k.jpg?v=d4bc1e6284","L5C=O_TFt5M~0$w{xZIq_r?Dxsf7",2011,410,[725],{"id":726,"slug":727,"name":728},"01kpp8fzqbh54d1pzthf7rs9ky","javier-cercas-ivrl","Javier Cercas",[730,731,732],{"id":579,"name":580,"slug":581,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":206,"name":207,"slug":208,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":735,"themes":737,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[167,736],"intellectual",[],{"id":739,"slug":740,"title":741,"description":742,"primary_cover_url":743,"cover_blurhash":744,"first_publish_year":745,"community_rating_avg":569,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":746,"authors":747,"genres":752,"series":755,"enrichment":757},"01kx6n2fdwver7y6jy3j2vkv0g","when-lions-roar-kibf","When lions roar","A far-reaching history of the intertwined personal and public lives of the Churchills and the Kennedys discusses their respective family views, how they overcame bitter differences to unite against Hitler and the enduring influence of their collaborations.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6n2fdwver7y6jy3j2vkv0g.jpg?v=a79c0b075e","L5L4vgIU~q%M00D%IVD*j@%MxuIU",2014,767,[748],{"id":749,"slug":750,"name":751},"01kx6n2fe9h10nvpcne91b1qpd","maier-thomas-bn8a","Maier, Thomas",[753,754],{"id":247,"name":248,"slug":249,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[756],{"id":704,"slug":705,"name":706,"position":707,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":758,"themes":759,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[166,167],[],{"id":761,"slug":762,"title":763,"description":764,"primary_cover_url":765,"cover_blurhash":766,"first_publish_year":767,"community_rating_avg":131,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":768,"authors":769,"genres":774,"series":785,"enrichment":786},"01kx7ch1bs24rge7pbhm186ypt","the-kingdom-the-power-and-the-glory-l6fs","The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory","Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal. For millions of conservative Christians, America is their kingdom—a land set apart, a nation uniquely blessed, a people in special covenant with God. This love of country, however, has given way to right-wing nationalist fervor, a reckless blood-and-soil idolatry that trivializes the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Alberta retraces the arc of the modern evangelical movement, placing political and cultural inflection points in the context of church teachings and traditions, explaining how Donald Trump's presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated historical trends that long pointed toward disaster. Reporting from half-empty sanctuaries and standing-room-only convention halls across the country, the author documents a growing fracture inside American Christianity and journeys with readers through this strange new environment in which loving your enemies is \"woke\" and owning the libs is the answer to WWJD. Accessing the highest echelons of the American evangelical movement, Alberta investigates the ways in which conservative Christians have pursued, exercised, and often abused power in the name of securing this earthly kingdom. He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting—and the weapons of their warfare—to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today's believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly secularizing America that has come to distrust the evangelical church, and weaves together present-day narratives of individual pastors and their churches as they confront the twin challenges of lost status and diminished standing. Sifting through the wreckage—pastors broken, congregations battered, believers losing their religion because of sex scandals and political schemes—Alberta asks: If the American evangelical movement has ceased to glorify God, what is its purpose?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ch1c658fpkffyh9x6kyf7.jpg?v=1c9967c765","L0A0q00000oz00~q00a#00RO4;of",2023,503,[770],{"id":771,"slug":772,"name":773},"01kvqyd1ebac4gkrdj7nf1jhby","tim-alberta-wwqn","Tim Alberta",[775,779,780,784],{"id":776,"name":777,"slug":778,"is_fiction":20},106,"Religion","religion",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},{"id":781,"name":782,"slug":783,"is_fiction":20},107,"Christianity","christianity",{"id":206,"name":207,"slug":208,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":787,"themes":788,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[167,80],[],{"id":790,"slug":791,"title":792,"description":793,"primary_cover_url":794,"cover_blurhash":795,"first_publish_year":457,"community_rating_avg":569,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":283,"authors":796,"genres":805,"series":810,"enrichment":811},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan).

Kennedy, his murder continues to haunt the American psyche and stands as a turning point in our nation's history. The Warren Commission rushed out its Report, but the questions would not go away. Was there a conspiracy? Was there a coup at the highest levels of government? Today, after millions upon millions have seen Oliver Stone's incisive film, JFK, the drive to reexamine this crime of the century has. Reached fever pitch. The core of that movement, the protagonist of JFK, is Jim Garrison. On March 1, 1967, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison electrified the world by arresting local businessman Clay Shaw for conspiracy to murder the President. His co-conspirator, David Ferrie, had been found dead a few days before. Garrison charged that elements of the United States government, in particular the CIA, were behind the crime. From the beginning, his probe was. Virulently attacked in the media and violently denounced from Washington. His office was infiltrated and sabotaged, and witnesses disappeared and died strangely. Eventually, Shaw was acquitted after the briefest of jury deliberations and the only prosecution ever brought for the murder of President Kennedy was over. But Garrison never stopped pursuing the case, and, over the years, an army of investigators and researchers have confirmed the essence of his case; Jim. Garrison has been vindicated. Only a small minority of Americans still support the conclusions of the Warren Commission, and, since the release of JFK, that minority is shrinking every day. There is a growing demand for the declassification of the mountains of documents that have been locked up in government vaults for decades. There are calls for a new and thorough investigation. James DiEugenio's Destiny Betrayed is the most up-to-date and clearest analysis ever. Published of Garrison's pioneering inquiry and the assassination itself. The author not only studied all the existing research, but also traveled the U.S. interviewing many of the survivors of this drama, exploring the background and associations of Clay Shaw as no one has ever done. He was granted access to the privately held original Shaw trial transcript. He covered documents never before published or described in full. Destiny Betrayed is one of the few works that. Truly furthers our understanding of the assassination of JFK, its surrounding circumstances, and the continuing mysteries. Everything in this book is fully documented, with upwards of a thousand notes and an extensive bibliography. The author was assisted in the research by Bob Spiegelman, who helped research JFK. And Zachary Sklar's Introduction provides an intimate profile of Jim Garrison today.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nfnfw9msp9a896tr2r4a3.jpg?v=1ea8b3aa3d","L5SPLhxu-:~qD%M{t7fk?at6a$WB",1992,"2.00",423,[844],{"id":845,"slug":846,"name":847},"01kx6nfnfqp07vmbfdmn4n87km","james-dieugenio-zhoa","James DiEugenio",[849,850],{"id":491,"name":492,"slug":493,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":142,"complexity":7,"audience":77,"mood":853,"themes":854,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[224,80],[],[]]
