On this day in 1914, one of the greatest boxers of the 20th century, Joe “the Brown Bomber” Louis, was born in LaFayette, Alabama.
Louis held the heavyweight championship from 1937 to 1949, defending it a record 25 times. In 1938, he defeated the German fighter Max Schmeling in “The Battle of the Century” at Yankee Stadium, perhaps the most famous and important boxing match of all time.
However, it was Louis’s service in the fight against the Nazis that transformed him from a patriotic role model into history’s first prominent Black athlete turned activist.
In THE FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE, award-winning sports historians Johnny Smith and Randy Roberts tell the story of Louis’s battles both in and out of the ring. Already world-famous at the outset of World War II, Louis enlisted in the army, serving as a goodwill ambassador and promoting unity across military bases that crackled with racial tension. Yet Louis’s experience with segregation in the army sparked his political awakening. As the war dragged on, he advocated for Black soldiers facing discrimination. Once the war ended, he joined veterans and civil rights activists to fight for voting rights and racial equality.
Expertly revising the life story of one of America’s most iconic Black athletes, Smith and Roberts’s biography celebrates Joe Louis’s forgotten fight against fascism abroad and racism at home.

ATHENS AND SPARTA: The Rivalry That Shaped Ancient Greece is available now!
From award-winning historian Adrian Goldsworthy, ATHENS AND SPARTA tells the definitive history between brutal, militaristic Sparta and brash, radically democratic Athens.

Goldsworthy narrates their incredible rise to prominence and how they became allies, rivals, and enemies.
“Goldsworthy tells a timely tale of national pride, and he has much to be proud of: Respectful of the somber grandeur of its subject, this book sparkles with wisdom and fury.” - J.E. Lendon, author of Soldiers & Ghosts
A remarkable account of ancient Greece at its height, ATHENS AND SPARTA is the tale of two cities that helped build it—before almost tearing it apart.

On this day in 1918, theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate Richard Feynman was born in New York City.
A pioneer in quantum mechanics, Feynam worked on the Manhattan Project and assisted the Rogers Commission investigating the Challenger disaster. He also was one of the greatest science communicators of the 20th century, delivering lectures on physics to students and lay audiences.
SIX EASY PIECES: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher collects a series of such lectures, delivered at the California Institute of Technology between 1961-1963, that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, SIX EASY PIECES is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.
“If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be SIX EASY PIECES.” - John Gribbin, New Scientist

Happy publication day to AFTER THE FALL: From the End of History to the Crisis of Democracy, How Politicians Broke Our World!
Renowned political scientist Ian Shapiro provides a searing explanation for the rightward turn of global politics since the end of the Cold War.
The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 ushered in an era of tremendous political optimism: communism was receding and democracy was on the march across the globe. Four decades later, euphoria has given way to resentment and pessimism. Britain left the EU, Donald Trump’s populist crusade gained him the White House not once, but twice, and right-wing parties have gained power across Europe and other parts of the world on a scale not seen since the 1930s.
What happened?
In AFTER THE FALL, Shapiro argues that the current crisis was far from inevitable. Politicians made consistently bad choices on topics ranging from NATO’s future to the War on Terror to humanitarian intervention and the governance of their economies. In doing so, they fostered a crisis of confidence in political institutions, empowered anti-system parties and candidates, and produced a new Cold War as dangerous as the last.
By scrutinizing the roads not taken by politicians in the past, Shapiro maps out what better futures might still be possible.

The great mathematician, logician, and philosophy Kurt Gödel was born on this day in 1906. His famous "incompleteness theorems," published when he was only 25, explored the limits of provability in formal axiomatic theories and remain among the most important intellectual breakthroughs of the 20th century.
In his Pulitzer Prize-winning classic GÖDEL, SCHER, BACH, Douglas R Hofstadter explores the implications of Gödel's theories for human consciousness.
