Benjamin Franklin was the oldest of the founding fathers—he was indeed a whole generation ahead of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson—and yet he was the most forward-looking of the group and the most modern of the founders. The Greatest American shows just how much of an impact Benjamin Franklin had on American politics and daily life.

Some might say that Huey P. Newton was destined to bridge two worlds that rarely intersect. Here was a man who could quote Plato’s Republic as easily as he could navigate the dangerous streets of Oakland. His mind was as sharp as his street instincts were keen, and this unique combination allowed him to transform simmering frustration and deep-seated anger into something far more powerful—the Black Panther Party. This revolutionary movement would shake the very foundations of American society.

Lady Jane Grey never wanted the crown. She barely had time to wear it. While history remembers her reign in days, this short book remembers the girl. Lady Jane Grey was only 16 when she was handed the throne of England like a poisoned chalice. Sharp-witted, highly educated, and utterly unprepared for royal life, Jane found herself thrust into the deadliest game the Tudors ever played. Nine days later, it was all over... except the part where they lopped off her head.

In the western imagination, a Black man is always a stranger, outsider, foreigner, intruder, alien; one who remains associated with their origins irrespective of how far they have travelled from them. One who is not an individual in his own right, but the representative of a type. What kind of performance is required for a person to survive this condition? What happens beneath the mask—what is the cost to the mind and body, to one’s relationships and one’s sense of self?

The dramatic untold story of Eugénie de Montijo, the woman who created haute couture, fought for women’s rights, opened France’s schools to girls and ruled the country as its last empress, yet today remains almost unknown.

Nearly 15 million girls, including many in the U.S., are forced into marriage each year. Each of these girls has a price tag—and a story. Sonita Alizada was almost sold twice.

In Sonita, the Afghan rap artist and activist shares the story of how she fled Afghanistan to pursue her dreams and evolved into a woman who is changing the world.

This new edition of Well… There You Go Again! The Humor That Shaped America captures nearly every quip, joke and anecdote told by Ronald Reagan during his presidency. It’s a virtual clinic on how to use humor as a persuasion tool. It’s also very funny. Even Democrats will laugh. From quips about taxing and spending to jokes about economists, bureaucracy and government regulation, the collection is as pertinent today as ever. Humor has become a lost art in politics. People should learn to disagree without personal attacks and hostility.

Léon Blum (1872-1950) a exercé sur le socialisme français un magistère qui ne se limite pas à ses brèves expériences de gouvernement. La première d'entre elles, qui fait suite à la victoire du Front populaire, garde soixante-dix ans après la force symbolique d'un grand mythe républicain. Serge Berstein dresse de Léon Blum un portrait équitable et nuancé, à cent lieues de l'histoire partisane qui sévit encore souvent à droite certes mais aussi à gauche.

A partir de diversos testimonios, boletines médicos, mitines de campaña, oficios religiosos, disposiciones y decretos oficiales, discursos de Eva y Juan Domingo Perón, artículos periodísticos, programas radiales, fotografías, cortometrajes oficiales y cartas al presidente, Una pérdida eterna analiza la manera en que la dimensión emocional se integró en las discusiones ideológicas, en los debates políticos y en las disputas culturales del país en los años cincuenta.

In Radical Tenderness, Gisele Barreto Fetterman courageously shares her story of power through vulnerability—from her childhood survival years as a Brazilian-American undocumented immigrant, to the prejudice she experienced in corporate and political settings, to her hardships and resilience stepping into her husband’s role when he suffered a stroke. Through it all Gisele learned that leading with tenderness—whether at the office, as a boss, or as a human being—can help us face challenges in a healthier, more authentic way, and in turn guides others to do the same.
