The Cartel That Went to War is a forensic look at one of the most violent and militarised organised crime groups of the modern era: Los Zetas. Emerging from within Mexico’s own military ranks, Los Zetas redefined what a cartel could be – not just traffickers of drugs, but an armed, diversified, and fearsome paramilitary enterprise whose reach extended into politics, economics, and the daily lives of communities.

This explosive expose shatters the Warren Commission lone-gunman myth revealing Lee Harvey Oswald as a likely ONI/USMC/CIA trained operative framed as the patsy in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Drawing on groundbreaking 2025 classified files, and Dr. Don Curtis’ sworn Luna Committee testimony–asserting frontal shots from the railroad trestle and the grassy knoll–Jim Purtell uncovers a chilling national security state conspiracy with the mafia assisting in the killing of Oswald.

Race isn’t real. But it changed the world. This book is the full history of how, and why, we made it up. From ancient tribal instincts to Enlightenment pseudoscience, from slavery and empire to redlining and algorithmic bias, Black and White walks through the invention of race as a system: where it started, how it spread, and why it still shapes everything. Biology didn’t create race. Power did. And the only way to dismantle the system is to understand how it was built. Brutal, clear, and global in scope, Black and White is a bullet through the myth and a blueprint for seeing through the lie.

Men are in crisis. Ensnarled in a culture of masculinity driven by powerful patriarchal ideals, whipsawed by competing views of men and gender expectations, many men struggle to form true connections, find personal fulfillment, and experience happiness.

Data has never mattered more. Our lives are increasingly shaped by it and how it is defined, collected and used. But who counts in the collection, analysis and application of data? This important book is the first to look at queer data – defined as data relating to gender, sex, sexual orientation and trans identity/history. The author shows us how current data practices reflect an incomplete account of LGBTQ lives and helps us understand how data biases are used to delegitimise the everyday experiences of queer people.

For men, it’s a manual — a roadmap to understanding the heart of the mature, self-aware woman who’s done healing, done fixing, and done settling.

Aquí, Adrián Chávez pone su experiencia en la lingüística y en la divulgación al servicio de desenmarañar el entramado de fake news, teorías conspirativas y pseudociencias que pueblan el entorno digital, donde las certezas se multiplican como cabezas de Hidra. Estas páginas —más que un dedo acusatorio— son la pausa antes de dar clic en un titular: una exploración de qué se dice y cómo, de quién enuncia y con qué fin, de la diferencia entre malinformar y desinformar, y de cómo la posverdad se delata con la lengua.

Queerphobic and transphobic messaging can arrive from nearly any direction, and once queer and trans people are exposed to the fear, disgust and judgement people have for otherness, it can easily fester into internalized oppression.
