The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—“a comprehensive look inside her brilliantly analytical, entertainingly wry mind, revealing the fascinating life of one of our generation's most influential voices in both law and public opinion” (Harper’s Bazaar). My Own Words “showcases Ruth Ginsburg’s astonishing intellectual range” (The New Republic). In this collection Justice Ginsburg discusses gender equality, the workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book’s sampling is selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, who introduce each chapter and provide biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. Witty, engaging, serious, and playful, My Own Words is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women and “a tonic to the current national discourse” (The Washington Post).

'A characteristically radical re-reading of history that places the social and political experiments of pirates at the heart of the European Enlightenment. A brilliant companion volume to the best-selling Dawn of Everything' Amitav Ghosh The Enlightenment did not begin in Europe. Its true origins lie thousands of miles away on the island of Madagascar, in the late seventeenth century, when it was home to several thousand pirates. This was the Golden Age of Piracy - but it was also, argues anthropologist David Graeber, a brief window of radical democracy, as the pirate settlers attempted to apply the egalitarian principles of their ships to a new society on land. In this jewel of a book, Graeber offers a way to 'decolonize the Enlightenment', demonstrating how this mixed community experimented with an alternative vision of human freedom, far from that being formulated in the salons and coffee houses of Europe. Its actors were Malagasy women, philosopher kings and escaped slaves, exploring ideas that were ultimately to be put into practice by Western revolutionary regimes a century later. Pirate Enlightenment playfully dismantles the central myths of the Enlightenment. In their place comes a story about the magic, sea battles, purloined princesses, manhunts, make-believe kingdoms, fraudulent ambassadors, spies, jewel thieves, poisoners and devil worship that lie at the origins of modern freedom.

Fall captive to the code—the real-life buccaneer bylaws that shaped every aspect of a pirate’s life. Pirates have long captured our imaginations with images of cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye patches, and buried treasure. But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone’s survival. These “Laws” were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the “Pirates’ Code,” which all pirates had to publicly swear by. Using primary sources like eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates’ success in battle, on sea, and on land.

Between 1870 and 2010, 165 Jewish Americans played Major League Baseball. This work presents oral histories featuring 23 of them. From Bob Berman, a catcher for the Washington Senators in 1918, to Adam Greenberg, an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs in 2005, the players discuss their careers and consider how their Jewish heritage affected them. Legends like Hank Greenberg and Al Rosen as well as lesser-known players reflect on the issue of whether to play on high holidays, responses to anti-Semitism on and off the field, bonds formed with black teammates also facing prejudice, and personal and Jewish pride in their accomplishments. Together, these oral histories paint a vivid portrait of what it was like to be a Jewish Major Leaguer.

Pirate Children From The Silurian Era. sail the ancient oceans, searching for treasure while learning valuable lessons about teamwork. Summary: A fun group of pirate kids set sail on an amazing journey on their magical ship, the Timeless Voyager, through the vast, mysterious seas of the Silurian Era. Their goal is clear: to take a winding path through mysterious islands and dive into ancient seas in search of legendary treasures said to be hidden deep in the water. But when these teenage pirates join a world beyond their wildest dreams, what starts out as a search for gold turns into a journey of discovery. As the Timeless Voyager moves through the water, the kids meet amazing ancient animals that test what they know about the world. They learn how important it is to deal with stress together when giant squids with tentacles the size of the ship come up from the deep. They learn about the power of words on the Island of Echoing Voices, where their own words come back to them and give them advice and new ideas that help them find things they didn't know they were looking for. A storm comes out of nowhere and tests them, but they get through it by sticking together and understanding how close they are. The pirate kids have many strange experiences on their journey that teach them important lessons. Not only does a magical compass lead them to their next goal, it also helps them understand how important choices are and what happens when you make them. In the Cave of Whispering Shadows, they face their fears and gain courage. The Sea of Floating Delights sparks kids' natural interest and sense of adventure by showing them all the wonderful things in the world. The kids discover differences and work together as they explore an underground Coral Castle. As they take part in the strange Festival of the Sea Spirits, they learn how important traditions and society are. A siren's call tests their loyalty and tells them of what could happen if they give up. They face their darkest fears and learn how important it is to know themselves in the Labyrinth of Reflection. The last defender of the depths dares them to show what they're made of while teaching them about how important bravery is and how much real success costs. They understand that the most valuable things are not gold or gems, but the lessons they've learned along the way about friendship, bravery, and working together. As the Timeless Voyager heads back home, the kids think back on their trip and decide that the most important thing they found was each other. Not only do they come back as pirates looking for wealth, but they also come back as lifelong friends who have been through a lot together and learned that they can get through anything. Chapter 1: The Eternal Traveler Starts Off A long time ago, on their beautiful ship, the Timeless Voyager, a group of daring young pirates decided to go on an epic journey through a world full of wonders and surrounded by huge oceans. This ship wasn't like any other; it was a magical one that could go back in time to the Silurian Era, a time before people, when the oceans were full of strange creatures and treasures waiting to be found. A young pirate leader named Captain Lucy, who is known for being brave and kind, planned this dangerous plan. She thought that the best trips were those that were shared with friends, and that they could handle any problem that came up on the seas. The young pirates were waiting on the deck of the Timeless Voyager, eagerly following her orders. Their eyes were sparkling with excitement, and their minds were racing with thoughts of the wealth they might find. As the sun rose and turned the sky orange and pink, the air was filled with the sound of busy people working hard. The kids did their separate jobs to get the ship ready to sail while working together. Some of them worked very hard to raise the sails, and as the early breeze hit the cloth, they could feel the ropes getting a little hot in their hands. Some people were planning their next trip, while others were looking at old maps that had lines and symbols on them that showed where secret islands and coves were. The kids learned what it really means to work together during this crazy action frenzy. They understood that every part of their journey, no matter how big or small, was important. It was important for the people pulling the ropes to have people reading maps and for the people steering the ship to have people singing shanties to keep spirits high. Even the youngest ones, who thought they had nothing to give, found out that they had sharp eyes that could see ships far away on the horizon or get lost compasses by fitting into small cracks. Captain Lucy looked on, happy with how well her team was working together and looking forward to the trip ahead. She knew that the sea would test them with its scary monsters and huge storms, but she also knew that friendship and working together were stronger than any magic the Timeless Voyager could have. People on board cheered as the ship sailed away, leaving the harbor's safety behind. As a sign of the uncharted lands that lay ahead, they stood next to each other at the bow and looked out to sea. The proudly flying flag and flapping sails of the Timeless Voyager made it more than just a ship. It was a home for a family that wasn't related by blood but by a desire to learn, an adventure, and a way to reach their goals. For the pirate kids, this was just the start of learning how to work together. As they sailed toward the horizon, their hearts were full of hopes and their eyes were looking for wealth. They knew the trip ahead would be hard. They also learned that working together, they could do anything. With a group of brave and kind pirates on board, the Timeless Voyager was ready to write its own tale of adventure, friendship, and the never-ending search for riches across the ancient seas. As the adventure started, the Timeless Voyager broke through the waves. The ship's crew worked together to reach a single goal. People thought they were pirates, but they were really spies looking for lost treasure, explorers of the huge and strange seas of Siluria, and most importantly, a group that worked well together. As a group, they set out on a trip through time, excited to find the mysteries and wonders that were hidden in the great seas of the past. Chapter 2: The Mysterious Map. In the middle of their trip, when the Timeless Voyager bravely faced waves and danced with the winds, the pirate kids found something that would change their trip forever. The old, broken-down trunk had an old map hidden inside, hidden by layers of mystery and dust. This map was different from all the others; it was written on parchment and had strange marks, symbols, and winding tracks that made me think of old sea stories. The crew was thrilled; it seemed like every breath they took held the promise of excitement and secrets yet to be revealed. Young people gathered around the old wooden table in the ship's poorly lit cabin, their eyes wide with surprise. The map was put out for everyone to see by Captain Lucy, even though it had frayed ends and the paper was thin and falling apart. On the map, there were uncharted islands, secret money, and dangerous things just waiting for someone who wasn't paying attention to find them. It was a task that really moved them and gave them new options. Each child began to share his or her thoughts and ideas as they looked at the map. Tim, the pilot, told them to use the stars drawn in the corner to find their way by the night sky. Emma was very interested in history, so she was able to figure out the meanings of the symbols that pointed to the cultures that may have made the map. When Little Jack, who had a huge imagination, made up stories about sea monsters guarding the treasure, their chase became much more exciting and dangerous. The kids learned a useful lesson about working together while they were gathered around the old map. They discovered that by sharing what they knew and had done, they could all help find out what the map was hiding. Tim's knowledge of the stars, Emma's views on history, and even Jack's made-up stories all helped put the puzzle together. For some reason, it felt like a miracle key that opened a treasure chest of information and teamwork instead of money.
