Sinossi

A “beautifully written, deeply honest” memoir of a marriage shaped by war and PTSD (Abigail Thomas, author of A Three Dog Life). 
 
After forty-five years of marriage, celebrated author and poet Abigail B. Calkin explores the relationship she has with her husband, who served three tours of duty in two different wars. Raw, riveting, and engaging, Calkin recounts how war and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) shaped their marriage and family.  
 
Told in prose and poetry, The Soul of My Soldier is a vivid exploration of the extended and significant impact war has on loved ones, and how war affects deployed military personnel far beyond their tour of duty.  
 
“When the guns fall silent and troops return home, soldiers carry with them an emotional mine field . . . The Soul of My Soldier reveals the tender attentiveness required to survive and heal.” —Hank Lentfer, author of Faith of Cranes

    This concise and accessible guide to modern healthcare explains the 10 rules of medical decision-making—and when to break them. 
     
    With so many medical tests and treatments to consider and so much information out there—some of it contradictory—it can be difficult to know what’s right for you. In Get Inside Your Doctor’s Head, Dr. Phillip K. Peterson explains the Ten Rules of Internal Medicine. Using real case examples, Peterson shows how following these commonsense rules will help you make better decisions about your medical care. 
     
    Get Inside Your Doctor’s Head provides advice about when to seek treatment, when to get another opinion, and when to let time take its course. Using the Ten Rules can help you communicate more effectively with doctors and help you weigh their recommendations.  
     
    As with all rules, there are occasional exceptions—and when evidence suggests that you are an exception, the relevant rule should be broken. Follow the Ten Rules to make decisions in the increasingly complicated medical world when you need guidance about health matters for yourself and your loved ones.

    The Law

    The Law was originally published as a  pamphlet in French in 1850 by Frederic Bastiat. It is his most famous work  and was written two years after the third French Revolution of 1848. It  defines, through development, a just system of laws and then demonstrates how  such law facilitates a free society.     Bastiat was a French classical liberal theorist, political economist, and  member of the French assembly. He was notable for developing the important  economic concept of opportunity cost. He was the author of many works on  economics and political economy, generally characterized by their clear  organization, forceful argumentation, and acerbic wit.     Born in Bayonne, Aquitaine, France, Bastiat was orphaned at nine and became  a ward of his paternal grandparents. At 17, he left school to work in his  family's export business. Economist Thomas DiLorenzo suggests that this  experience was crucial to Bastiat's later work since it allowed young  Frédéric to acquire first-hand knowledge of how regulation can affect  markets. When Bastiat was 25, his grandfather died, leaving the young man the  family estate, thereby providing him with the means to further his  theoretical inquiries.     After the middle-class Revolution of 1830, Bastiat  became politically active and was elected justice of the peace in 1831 and to  the Council General in 1832. He was elected to the national legislative  assembly after the French Revolution of 1848. His public career as an  economist began in 1844 and was cut short by his untimely death in 1850.

    American communities are facing chronic problems: fiscal stress, urban decline, environmental sprawl, mass incarceration, political isolation, disproportionate foreclosures and severe public health risks. In The Price of Paradise, David Troutt argues that it is a lack of mutuality in our local decision making that has led to this looming crisis facing cities and local governments.          Arguing that there are structural flaws in the American dream, Troutt investigates the role that place plays in our thinking and how we have organized our communities to create or deny opportunity. Legal rules and policies that promoted mobility for most citizens simultaneously stifled and segregated a growing minority by race, class and—most importantly—place.              A conversation about America at the crossroads, The Price of Paradise is a multilayered exploration of the legal, economic and cultural forces that contribute to the squeeze on the middle class, the hidden dangers of growing income and wealth inequality and the literature on how growth and consumption patterns are environmentally unsustainable.
