The Queen's Path
A fascinating exploration of the Divided Woman, the key to understanding why women cannot take a hero’s journey. Every woman battles being a Divided Woman, whether she is a stay-at-home mom or a high-powered corporate executive. In this book, psychotherapist Dr. Stacey Simmons explores the tracks women are placed on that turn them against themselves at a young age. Using fairy tales, stories, films, television, musicals, and the lives of her patients, Dr. Simmons reveals an ancient pattern hidden in plain sight for over a thousand years. She named it The Queen’s Path, and in this book she explains how it has been used against women for millennia, and how women can turn the pattern to their advantage, and use it themselves to overcome obstacles and become the rightful queens of their own lives. Sovereignty—the ability to advocate for, and ultimately direct one’s own life—is the realm every person longs for. There is a path to sovereignty for every woman who wants it, if she’ll only place her glass slipper along The Queen’s Path. The Queen’s Path is a rare combination of both a guidebook and a story map to help anyone make sense of the world of women.
Prometheus and Gaia
Prometheus and Gaia examines the ideological positions of Futurism and Eco-Pessimism. While these are rarely spoken about in mainstream discourse, they do have strong resonances in today’s popular politics and culture. In light of existential threats posed by climate change, disruptive technologies and economic crises, many have grown weary of the “small fixes” offered by mainstream policy-makers. Radical change thus appears necessary, as Futurism and Eco-Pessimism emerge as two fundamental challenges to the status quo. The Futurist claims that the current dynamism of technology is incompatible with human limitations, while the Eco-Pessimist sees the climate crisis as symptomatic of a broader human domination over nature. What these seemingly opposite currents have in common is a shared rejection of the human frame as grounding politics; each seeks to subordinate the human in favor of a wholly alien other, either in the form of an anarchic nature or a dynamic technology. To transcend this strange coincidence of opposites, Prometheus and Gaia makes the positive case for a humanism that is rationalist without being anthropocentric.

Publisher description
The Red Atlantis
For most of the twentieth century, American and European intellectual life was defined by its fascination with a particular utopian vision. Both the artistic and political vanguards were spellbound by the Communist promise of a new human era—so much so that its political terrors were rationalized as a form of applied evolution and its collapse hailed as the end of history.The Red Atlantisargues that Communism produced a complex culture with a dialectical relation to both modernism and itself. Offering examples ranging from the Stalinist show trial to Franz Kafka's posthumous career as a dissident writer And The work of filmmakers, painters, and writers, which can be understood only as crit...
The FBI Encyclopedia
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, America's most famous law enforcement agency, was established in 1908 and ever since has been the subject of countless books, articles, essays, congressional investigations, television programs and motion pictures--but even so it remains an enigma to many, deliberately shrouded in mystery on the basis of privacy or national security concerns. This encyclopedia has entries on a broad range of topics related to the FBI, including biographical sketches of directors, agents, attorneys general, notorious fugitives, and people (well known and unknown) targeted by the FBI; events, cases and investigations such as ILLWIND, ABSCAM and Amerasia; FBI terminology and programs such as COINTELPRO and VICAP; organizations marked for disruption including the KGB and the Ku Klux Klan; and various general topics such as psychological profiling, fingerprinting and electronic surveillance. It begins with a brief overview of the FBI's origins and history.
