Muitos de nós cultivamos habilidades aparentemente desconexas – advogados que tocam piano, médicos amantes de culinária, designers fascinados por tecnologia. Essa multiplicidade não é apenas uma peculiaridade pessoal, mas uma característica compartilhada por muitos. Leonardo Da Vinci é um exemplo famoso, mas poucos sabem que Einstein tocava violino, Shakespeare era fascinado pela ciência e Samuel Morse, o engenheiro que inventou o aparelho precursor do telefone, também era pintor e professor de belas artes.

Sub-Human delves into what it means to be an animal, how our view of other animals impacts our view of other people, oppressions, and the planet, how we got here, as well as how we can move forward together. When we accept oppression of some, we feed the oppression of others, and we make space for domination driven by false ideas of inferiority and lesser worth. When we discount the inherent preciousness of animals who think and feel, we erase precious parts of ourselves. When we consider living beings as “livestock,” it’s no wonder we pillage the unthinking yet irreplaceable living earth.

Over the past decade, American colleges and universities have seen enrollment decline, campuses close, programs cut, faculty and staff laid off, and public confidence erode. In Peak Higher Ed, futurist Bryan Alexander forecasts what the next decade might hold if we continue down this path.

With the 2020 election year getting ever closer (indeed, for any election year), it feels important to review some of the history and politics of this nation. The problem is that many such histories either assume much background knowledge, or are designed for students with little understanding of the process. That's why readers of all ages who seek a basic primer to be used as a refresher course in American ideals and formation will find The Founding Fathers and the Birth of a Nation State a solid primer covering the instigation, ideals, and political nature of what constitutes a 'republic'.
