Sowell meticulously chronicles the tumultuous era of settlement in the Southwest, weaving together an engaging narrative that blends personal anecdotes, historical accounts, and vivid descriptions. This work stands out for its rich attention to detail and its integration of primary sources, which provides a robust landscape of life during this formative period. Sowell captures the complexities of cultural interactions between settlers and indigenous populations, presenting a nuanced view that transcends simplistic portrayals of conflict and cooperation. The literary style is both accessible and scholarly, employing a narrative that is lively yet grounded in historical rigor. A. J. Sowell, a historian deeply invested in the narratives of Texas, draws on his own heritage and the oral histories he encountered throughout his life. His passion for uncovering the stories of individuals often overshadowed in mainstream historical accounts uniquely positions him to write this book.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundational histories of Texas. It offers not just a glimpse into the past, but also a contemplative understanding of the tensions and intersections defining early American frontiers.

    Sexual health is an essential yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being. While common sexual disorders like erectile dysfunction or low libido receive significant attention, there exists a range of rare sexual disorders that many people have never heard of. These conditions can be confusing, distressing, and deeply isolating for those affected. Unlike mainstream sexual dysfunctions that have widely known treatments and medical support, rare sexual disorders often remain misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or even dismissed entirely. This lack of awareness leaves those who suffer from these conditions struggling in silence, unsure of where to turn for help.  
      
    This book aims to shed light on five rare sexual disorders, each presenting unique challenges that go beyond the conventional difficulties associated with intimacy. From physical conditions that cause unrelenting discomfort to psychological disorders that disrupt one’s ability to form healthy sexual relationships, these disorders can have a profound impact on self-esteem, relationships, and overall quality of life. Understanding these conditions is the first step toward breaking the stigma and fostering empathy for those who experience them.

    This book is written for the advance and the beginning psychics as well as those interested in finding out more. It is written a counterpoint to much of the bad press that the psychic community receives in the larger society.  
    It is a practical guide for the practicing psychic discussing psychic ability and provides skills that will assist in enhancing your connection to the larger world. I am a Taoist Master who spent twelve years in a temple. Through the process of overcoming dyslexia, I learned how the mind works at a fundamental level and how to connect with fundamental aspects of reality. Since I was a child, my entire life and reality have been centered around a connection with the world beyond my five senses and the pragmatic definition of the universe. 
    If you have been a practicing psychic or have experienced the psychic connection, I don’t need to tell you that there is much more going on in the world than what our senses or science tell us. This book explores this while giving practical advice and skills that will help to keep you balanced while enhancing your abilities. I speak to you in practical terms because I live my daily life through Energy. It at once reveals my direction and keeps me from harm while imbuing me with abilities I once never thought possible. 
    In the world today, we are polarized in so many fundamental ways. There are many reasons for this, but at a fundamental level, it is because of the cycle that we are in. My goal in life has always been to study reality. I try to look at things as they really are. We are in a period of extreme transformation right now where the things we once believed were unchangeable are no longer that certain. The ground is giving way, and this makes it a very frightening time. It is also a wonderful magical time where things once believed impossible will become possible.

    In 1943, eighteen-year-old Walter Stitt enlisted in the US Army, ready to serve his country. From his time in basic training at Fort Polk in Louisiana, throughout his time as a tank gunner in the 33rd Armored Regiment, to his post-injury service in England, he wrote home to the family he had left at home. 
     
     
     
    Unbeknown to him, his mother carefully numbered and saved the letters, treasuring them until her death. This book brings together the very different two versions of Walter's war: the version that a teenage soldier could reveal to his parents and younger siblings without scaring them or invoking the censor's pen, and the full and often terrifying details of serving as a tank loader and gunner in France, Belgium, and Germany, remembered so clearly eighty years later. Walter explains the forced omissions and partial truths his teenage self offered to comfort his family while he survived the destruction of three Sherman tanks, the death of three crew members, and two wounds. 
     
     
     
    Coming from West Virginia, Walter's Appalachian roots and values are apparent through the memories he held dear as a soldier and the values he clung to while fighting in one of the darkest periods of human history. His memoir recounts his experiences of serving during World War II while honoring those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice.

    Steven R. Ward provides an accessible overview of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) and its focus on tracking and countering domestic dissent and perceived foreign-inspired sedition. The ministry's checkered record of effective intelligence operations includes a history of assassinations and human rights abuses. Developing a clearer picture of the MOIS is important for understanding how the Islamic Republic of Iran operates, seeks security, and competes with its adversaries. 
     
     
     
    Iran's Ministry of Intelligence updates and improves on the paucity of available information about Iranian intelligence activities. The chapters in the book cover the MOIS's origins, leaders, structure and organizational culture, operations and tradecraft, foreign partners, cultural representations, and future outlook. The book also provides a significant examination of this contemporary intelligence agency that does not follow the model of Western organizations. 
     
     
     
    Iran's Ministry of Intelligence will be of interest to scholars, students, and general fans of intelligence and Iran's history and politics. It will also be an important resource for national security and foreign policy practitioners.

    'A wonderfully engaging, honest and witty portrait of the humiliations, idealism, nobility and banality of democratic life' - Rory Stewart, author of Politics on the Edge'Wryly self-deprecating, but also informative and illuminating' - Matt CooperAs Ireland's Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy took on one of the toughest briefs in government, one that continues to be a challenge today. Looking back at his life in the build-up to parliamentary office and at his time in the cabinet, Eoghan brings a self-lacerating and deeply personal view of the life of a modern politician trying - and often failing - to make the positive change he hoped to deliver. Brutal and sometimes harrowing, Eoghan's tale is also surprisingly funny, though the humour is only ever at the author's expense. If, in the end, all political careers end in failure, why didn't anyone tell the author that? There are no heroes or villains here, just a person facing their own limitations as they navigate the unfamiliar world of campaigns, elected office and government responsibility.Bringing refreshing candour to the pressures and absurdity of politics, this book shows us who our politicians really are when there's nothing left to spin and no one there to spin it to.
