Modern Guide to Human Design
$27.99
Our Human Design chart is a blueprint for navigating life as our true selves, releasing outside pressures and beliefs, and allowing our innate magic to shine. The world teaches us that the truth comes from outside of us--family, friends, experts, institutions--and that we make our best decisions with logic. Human design proposes a new reality: We each have a built-in navigation system. We are each wired for our own unique purpose! Have you realized that things go smoothly when you trust your gut? You might be a Generator. Do you need to "sleep on it" when making a big decision? You might have Emotional Authority. Has anyone ever told you that you give the best advice? You could be a Projector. Do you bristle when others tell you what to do because you know you're here to impact the world by doing things your way? You may have a Manifestor aura. Have you always just felt more sensitive and different than everyone around you? You might be part of the 1% as a rare Reflector. The best thing about human design is that it recognizes something we all know but often forget: We are all different. Our human design chart is the tangible blueprint for moving away from living the life that society expects of us and stepping into our special gifts and magic. Wouldn't it be incredible to have an instruction manual explaining how to have the best relationship with your child, partner, friends, or coworkers? This guide empowers us to allow everyone, including ourselves, to be who they are truly meant to be.

NEMLA Italian Studies: The Renaissance Dialogue
$20.00
Edited by Roberta Ricci, Professor and Chair of Italian on the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Chair in the Humanities
Although this special volume dedicated to the Renaissance includes only one essay on Ariosto, it aims at joining the many celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the first publication (1516) of his epic masterpiece, Orlando Furioso. Following this modern multi-thematic approach enticing micro-narratives with a mixture of “le donne, i cavallier, l’arme, gli amori, / le cortesie, l’audaci imprese,” declared ab principio by Ariosto as poetic theory in the opening lines of the epic (1.1-2), this project embraces such a vision of a multi plot within interdisciplinarity, now more than ever at the center of the intellectual (and pedagogical/didactic) debate in academia. Keeping in mind Ariosto’s modern epistemological approach to reality and knowledge by interlacing, embracing, connecting, and disconnecting themes, characters, levels of narrations, the goal here is to present the Renaissance as a continuous dialogue among many authors from various cultural milieus that includes the arts, language and literature, philosophy, and the sciences.

Next Economy MBA: Redesigning Business for the Benefit of All Life
$26.95
by Phoenix Soleil '95
This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice. Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more. Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution--and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia. Our current economy, what the authors call the "Business as Usual Economy," has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.

Ordinary Queerness in American Modernism
$69.95
Can queer life be ordinary? By answering "yes," Ordinary Queerness in American Modernism prompts queer studies to consider what it has long devalued and neglected: the ordinary lives queer people create. Declining to cede the ordinary to queer studies' critique of the normal, Jess Shollenberger argues for and models a reading practice that is attuned to queer desires, figures, and intimacies arrayed against the normal yet enabled by ordinary life. By tracing the representation of queerness in modernist literature as presence, possibility, and insistence, Shollenberger illuminates how the modernist interest in ordinary life cannot be understood apart from queer experience, culture, and aesthetics. Ordinary Queerness in American Modernism disturbs queer studies by turning toward the ordinary as an object for queer inquiry and by reading perversely without the dominant hermeneutic for queer literary studies-the closet. Across interpretations of work by Sarah Orne Jewett, Gertrude Stein, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Elizabeth Bishop, Shollenberger develops the practice of reading modernist writing without the closet, expanding the scope of modernist studies and augmenting our knowledge of queerness for a shifting, unstable present.
