Book Description
In an era where the traditional roles of men and women are undergoing a seismic shift, where the pursuit of equality has become a battleground for competing narratives, and where the very definition of masculinity is being challenged and redefined, "The New Republic of Manhood" offers a bold and insightful roadmap for men seeking to navigate the complexities of the 21st century. This book, combines historical perspective, social commentary, and practical advice to empower men to reclaim their autonomy, protect their interests, and forge a new path to fulfillment in a world that often seems stacked against them. With unflinching honesty and a touch of sardonic wit, the author exposes the illusions of equality, the pitfalls of modern relationships, and the legal and social biases that can leave men feeling disempowered and disillusioned. He challenges the outdated expectations of the provider role, encourages men to embrace emotional independence, and offers strategies for building healthy relationships based on mutual respect and shared responsibility. He delves into the controversial topics of paternal fraud, the welfare state's "marriage" to the modern woman, and the need for men to turn the tables, using the very arguments for female empowerment to protect themselves from exploitation and ensure a level playing field. "The New Republic of Manhood" is not a retreat into misogyny or a rejection of progress. It is a call to action, a challenge to complacency, and an invitation to join the ranks of those who are shaping a new era of masculinity, one defined by authenticity, self-reliance, and a commitment to building a better future for themselves, their families, and the world. This book is for men who; Feel lost and confused in the shifting landscape of modern relationships; Are struggling to balance their desire for autonomy with the demands of partnership and fatherhood; Want to protect their financial and emotional well-being from exploitation; Seek to redefine masculinity on their own terms;Are ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. "The New Republic of Manhood" is a must-read for any man who wants to thrive in a world gone wrong.

The Splitting of the Moon

Publisher: OLYSSIPO
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 57
Book Description
"The Splitting of the Moon" explores the hypothetical scenario of a large meteor impacting the Moon and its profound consequences for Earth and human civilization. This work of speculative non-fiction blends scientific rigor with philosophical reflection, examining the astronomical, environmental, social, and cultural ramifications of a world suddenly deprived of its celestial companion. The narrative begins by tracing humanity's historical fascination with the cosmos, exploring the myths, legends, and religious beliefs that have shaped our understanding of the Moon and its place in the universe. It then delves into the scientific realities of a lunar impact, analyzing the potential geological, atmospheric, and tidal effects of such a cataclysmic event. The hypothetical impact serves as a catalyst for exploring the challenges and opportunities facing a world grappling with a fundamentally altered celestial landscape. The book examines the potential for technological innovation, international cooperation, and cultural adaptation as humanity confronts the loss of its familiar lunar companion. The narrative also delves into the psychological and philosophical implications of a Moonless world, exploring the potential for a shift in human consciousness, a renewed appreciation for the fragility of our planet, and a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos. "The Splitting of the Moon" is a work of both warning and hope. It serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of our cosmic environment and the potential for catastrophic events beyond our control. But it also highlights the resilience and adaptability of human civilization, our capacity to confront the unknown, and our enduring quest for knowledge and meaning in a universe full of wonder and uncertainty. "The Splitting of the Moon" is a thought-provoking exploration of a hypothetical scenario that challenges our assumptions about the stability of our cosmic environment and invites us to contemplate the future of humanity in a universe full of wonder and uncertainty.

Hillbilly Elegy
Author: J D Vance
Publisher: Harper Large Print
ISBN: 9780063438354
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Hillbilly Elegy recounts J.D. Vance's powerful origin story... From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate now serving as a U.S. Senator from Ohio and the Republican Vice Presidential candidate for the 2024 election, an incisive account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class. THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "You will not read a more important book about America this year."--The Economist "A riveting book."--The Wall Street Journal "Essential reading."--David Brooks, New York Times Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis--that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history. A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium
Author: Martin Gurri
Publisher: Stripe Press
ISBN: 1953953344
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
How insurgencies—enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere—have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. In the words of economist and scholar Arnold Kling, Martin Gurri saw it coming. Technology has categorically reversed the information balance of power between the public and the elites who manage the great hierarchical institutions of the industrial age: government, political parties, the media. The Revolt of the Public tells the story of how insurgencies, enabled by digital devices and a vast information sphere, have mobilized millions of ordinary people around the world. Originally published in 2014, The Revolt of the Public is now available in an updated edition, which includes an extensive analysis of Donald Trump’s improbable rise to the presidency and the electoral triumphs of Brexit. The book concludes with a speculative look forward, pondering whether the current elite class can bring about a reformation of the democratic process and whether new organizing principles, adapted to a digital world, can arise out of the present political turbulence.

Work Won't Love You Back
Author: Sarah Jaffe
Publisher: Bold Type Books
ISBN: 1568589387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.

The Pregnant Widow
Author: Martin Amis
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307593576
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The year is 1970, and the youth of Europe are in the chaotic, ecstatic throes of the sexual revolution. Though blindly dedicated to the cause, its nubile foot soldiers have yet to realize this disturbing truth: that between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of terrifying purgatory—or, as Alexander Herzen put it, a pregnant widow. Keith Nearing is stuck in an exquisite limbo. Twenty years old and on vacation from college, Keith and an assortment of his peers are spending the long, hot summer in a castle in Italy. The tragicomedy of manners that ensues will have an indelible effect on all its participants, and we witness, too, how it shapes Keith’s subsequent love life for decades to come. Bitingly funny, full of wit and pathos, The Pregnant Widow is a trenchant portrait of young lives being carried away on a sea of change.
