Customers also care less about the features of your product—what it has—than about its benefits—what it does for them. While this sounds like common sense, shockingly few organizations actually conduct business this way.

Scholars persist in framing the Cold War as a battle between left and right, one in which the Global South is cast as either witting or unwitting proxies of Washington and Moscow. What if the era is told from the perspective of the many who preferred reform to revolution? Scholars have routinely neglected, dismissed, or caricatured moderate politicians. In this book, Allen Wells argues that until the Cuban Revolution, the struggle was not between capitalism and communism—that was Washington's abiding preoccupation—but between democracy and dictatorship.

In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of "Vremya" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here.

Gaining weight as we age is a given. Whether it’s from lack of exercise, hormone shifts, or illness, our metabolism slows, and it becomes more difficult to keep weight off. Intermittent fasting is one way we can bypass this problem by giving ourselves mini “breaks” from digestion, which is the most energy-intensive activity in our bodies. These breaks help the body use up its stores of fat for fuel instead of relying on food consumption to power us through the day. In my book, I discuss how fasting for women over 50 can be a solution to the issues with weight loss and health.
