Greater connectivity and superpowered storytelling through digital media systems were supposed to spark a democratic renaissance. Instead, our platforms don't work for us - we're the inventory, and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit. But we have the power to break free and create a healthy civic life for all Americans. Michael Slaby identifies four necessary avenues to build a future that serves us all: redesign our platforms; restore journalism, government, and corporations; reclaim the power and diversity of our storytelling; and ultimately redeem ourselves. Optimistic and passionate, For ALL the People breaks down how we got here, and how we can work together toward a better democracy empowered by - rather than exploited by - technology.

Before Instagram was an art form, fashion photographers were pop culture royalty. From the postwar covers of Vogue until the triumph of the digital image, the fashion photographer sold not only clothes but ideals of beauty and fantasies of perfect lives. Even when they succumbed to temptation and excess, the very few photographers who rose to the top were artists above all.

"I drive and think to myself, if I am dying, if this is how I die, then this is how I die." When N. West Moss finds herself bleeding uncontrollably in the middle of a writing class, she drives herself to the hospital, rather than bother anyone about an ambulance. Because she is a writer, she can't help her next thoughts: "The word 'exsanguinate' comes bubbling up into my mind as I drive. Perhaps I am exsanguinating. Bleeding out. It's a magnificent word, exsanguinate. Exsanguination. Latin, probably. Worth a zillion points in Scrabble." For a while, doctors cannot figure out exactly what is wrong with Moss, but eventually surgery is determined to be the answer - a hysterectomy.

An FDA economist discovers that solutions for food safety and nutrition lie in the hands of entrepreneurs - not government regulation and education. With about half of the US population expected to be obese by 2030 and one out of six Americans getting sick every year, why is the Food and Drug Administration spending years trying to figure out if almond milk should be called "milk"? As a 27-year veteran of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Nutrition, Dr. Richard A. Williams poses this question.

This dramatic true story reveals the secret mission of the eight members of the CIA's Team Alpha, the first Americans to be dropped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan after 9/11. After just a month, Team Alpha, riding on horseback alongside warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum and U.S. Special Forces, had pushed the Taliban out of much of northern Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda, however, was Descriptionting to strike back. A "Trojan horse" surrender of 500 foreign fighters led to their incarceration inside Qala-i-Janghi-"the House of War"-just outside the key city Mazar-i-Sharif. Determined to prevent another 9/11, the CIA went in to interrogate them despite the danger.

There is no alternative to free-market capitalism. At least that's what we've been told since the 1980s, when Margaret Thatcher first declared the debate over. Politicians daily declare it, journalists parrot it, talk show hosts acquiesce to it, rich people gloat about it, and regular people simply assume it. Fired Up About Capitalism forcefully argues that this is nothing but a myth. Tom Malleson exposes the reality of contemporary capitalism - from the widening inequality between the 1 percent and the rest of society, to ecological devastation - and demonstrates that in fact there are many alternatives. By demonstrating a wide range of examples of alternatives from around the world, from the short-term and practical to the long-term and ambitious, Malleson shows that replacing contemporary capitalism is not pie-in-the-sky utopia, but a real possibility as long as enough of us fight back against injustice and insist that a better world is possible.

The volcano - among the most familiar and perhaps the most terrifying of all geological phenomena. However, Earth isn't the only planet to harbour volcanoes. In fact, the solar system, and probably the entire universe, is littered with them. Our own Moon, which is now a dormant piece of rock, had lava flowing across its surface billions of years ago, while Mars can be credited with the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, which stands 25 km high. While Mars' volcanoes are long dead, volcanic activity continues in almost every other corner of the solar system, in the most unexpected of locations. We tend to think of Earth volcanoes as erupting hot, molten lava and emitting huge billowing clouds of incandescent ash. However, it isn't necessarily the same across the rest of the solar system. For a start, some volcanoes aren't even particularly hot. Those on Pluto, for example, erupt an icy slush of substances such as water, methane, nitrogen or ammonia, that freeze to form ice mountains as hard as rock.
