Confessions of a Professor
How has our higher education system become so corrupt and unsustainable while undermining our freedom behind closed doors? Imagine sending your conservative daughter off to your state’s flagship university. After six long years, not the four years you expected, she returns home with a bachelor’s degree in one of the “studies.” She returns home to live because she can’t find employment sufficient to support herself. As heartbreaking as that is, you soon discover she is now a socialist, hates America, and blames men for a patriarchal society she believes ruined her life. She left home full of love but returned filled with hate. Unfortunately, that is not imaginary, and there is no pl...
The Intersectional Environmentalist
From the 2022 TIME100 Next honoree and the activist who coined the term comes a primer on intersectional environmentalism for the next generation of activists looking to create meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable change. The Intersectional Environmentalist examines the inextricable link between environmentalism, racism, and privilege, and promotes awareness of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people -- especially those most often unheard. Written by Leah Thomas, a prominent voice in the field and the activist who coined the term "Intersectional Environmentalism," this book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating ch...
Woke Warriors
The world has long been told to fear America’s military, which is said to be the strongest on Earth. The truth of that statement today remains unclear. After a ten-year fictitious war in Iraq and a twenty-year stalemate in Afghanistan, the American military is involved in a whole new type of war: a culture war—one that it seems to be losing yet again. Forget everything you think you know about American military culture. Woke Warriors shows you how America’s most sacred institution has morphed into America’s most woke industrial complex. From DEI to social justice reform, preferred pronouns, and removal of tests of skill, the US military is hardly recognizable to many who knew it even...

However, the truth is that in many respects progress is stalling, or even falling back. Sharron Davies is no stranger to battling the routine sexism the sporting world.

Trouble With Gender
Sex used to rule. Now gender identity is on the throne. Sex survives as a cheap imitation of its former self: assigned at birth, on a spectrum, socially constructed, and definitely not binary. Apparently quite a few of us fall outside the categories ‘male’ and ‘female’. But gender identity is said to be universal – we all have one. Humanity used to be cleaved into two sexes, whereas now the crucial division depends on whether our gender identity aligns with our body. If it does, we are cisgender; if it does not, we are transgender. The dethroning of sex has meant the threat of execution for formerly noble words such as ‘woman’ and ‘man’. In this provocative, bold, and human...
Neoconservative Politics and the Supreme Court
In this concise, timely book, constitutional law expert Stephen M. Feldman draws on neoconservative writings to explore the rise of the neocons and their influence on the Supreme Court. Neocons burst onto the political scene in the early 1980s via their assault on pluralist democracy’s ethical relativism, where no pre-existing or higher principles limit the agendas of interest groups. Instead, they advocated for a resurrection of republican democracy, which declares that virtuous citizens and officials pursue the common good. Yet despite their original goals, neocons quickly became an interest group themselves, competing successfully within the pluralist democratic arena. When the political winds shifted in 2008, however, neocons found themselves shorn of power in Congress and the executive branch. But portentously, they still controlled the Supreme Court. Neoconservative Politics and the Supreme Court explains how and why the neoconservatives criticized but operated within pluralist democracy, and, most important, what the entrenchment of neocons on the Supreme Court means for present and future politics and law.
Testosterone
*** RECOMMENDED AS ONE OF THE TIMES' BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'With all the talk about testosterone in sex, sports and politics, we need a good explanation of the science and its implications, and this one is outstanding.' STEVEN PINKER, bestselling author of The Blank Slate 'There are whole books written about the idea that behavioural sex differences are a societal construct and how a male hormone we know influences animal behaviour somehow doesn't influence us. Hooven's book is a riposte to that silliness - and also a defence of a hormone that isn't just about aggression.' TOM WHIPPLE, THE TIMES, BEST SCIENCE BOOKS OF 2021 'Fascinating, vital, unputdownable.' JULIE BINDEL 'The definitiv...
Good and Bad Testosterone
Testosterone takes a historical approach to understanding testosterone. It is a comprehensive description of the functions of testosterone and its role in determining the biological, medical, psychological, behavioral and cultural features of the male sex/gender and the male/female differences.It is a unique reference that explains not only the biological aspects of the function of testosterone, but also the psychophysical aspects.
