This isn’t a manifesto. It’s a dissection. “The Big Beautiful Bill” tears into the 900-page federal law that was sold to the public as reform—but operates more like entrenchment. It rewrites eligibility, compresses benefits, and cements enforcement without ever admitting who it helps and who it buries. With the precision of a surgeon and the bluntness of a veteran policy analyst who’s seen this game before, this book walks through the full scope of the law’s reach—SNAP, Medicaid, taxes, immigration, energy, education—no section left unscrutinized. There’s no fluff here. ...

Steve Grant was laid off in March of 2020. He was fifty and had cancer, so he needed health insurance, fast. Which is how he found himself a rural letter carrier in Appalachia, back in his old hometown. Suddenly, he was the guy with the goods, delivering dog food and respirators and lube and heirloom tomato seeds and Lord of the Rings replica swords. He transported chicken feed to grandmothers living alone in the mountains and forded a creek with a refrigerator on his back. But while he carried the mail, he also carried a whole lot more than just the mail.

Una aproximación práctica y sensata a los retos que plantea el cambio climático Parece inevitable que surja la controversia cada vez que hablamos de calentamiento global. Pero una vez superada la reticencia a aceptar que no es un invento, aún nos queda ponernos de acuerdo sobre la mejor manera de hacerle frente. En unos momentos en los que la etiqueta de «verde» actúa más como corsé que como remedio, resulta clave entender la situación en la que nos encontramos para tomar las medidas más eficaces contra una cuestión tan seria como urgente.

In Universities on Fire, futurist Bryan Alexander explores higher education during an age of unfolding climate crisis. Powered by real-world examples and the latest research, Alexander assesses practical responses and strategies by surveying contemporary programs and academic climate research from around the world.

California was once the crown jewel of the American dream: prosperous, innovative, egalitarian, and aspirational. Today, it stands as a dystopian warning of what happens when nihilistic, radical ideology consumes the foundations of governance. In Failed State, Christopher Moritz dissects the unraveling of the Golden State with the precision of a lawyer, the depth of a historian, and the heartbreak of a California native son who has witnessed its collapse firsthand.

El libro examina cómo estas fuerzas se han intensificado, particularmente bajo la administración de Trump, acelerando la división del país y su inestabilidad. Analiza de manera crítica cómo la discriminación racial sistémica, las políticas antiinmigrantes y la avaricia corporativa han afectado desproporcionadamente a las comunidades minoritarias, exacerbando la pobreza generacional y creando una crisis de salud mental generalizada.
