  This is a book about life and death over 8,500 years in Ireland. It explores the richness of the mortuary record that we have for Irish prehistory (8000 BC to AD 500) as a highlight of the archaeological record for that long period of time. Because we are dealing with how people coped with death, this rich and diverse record of mortuary practice is also relevant to understanding how we deal with death today, which is just as central a social issue as it always was.

  A biography and history of the Native American chief, his people, and their forced exodus at the hands of the US government.“Nerburn deftly records a dark chapter of forced diaspora and forgotten promises—as engrossing as a novel.” —People“A remarkable job of research in telling the thus far untold story of Chief Joseph—the mythical hero, the real man. It is a poignant, touching tale.” —Howard Zinn, author of The People’s History of the United StatesHidden in the shadow cast by the great western expeditions of Lewis and Clark and the westward-moving pioneers lies another journey every bit as poignant and essential to understanding of who we are as a nation. Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce is a grand saga of a pivotal time in our nation’s history. Its pages are alive with the presence of Lewis and Clark, General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Armstrong Custer, and Sitting Bull. Its events brush against the California Gold Rush, the American Civil War, the great western pioneer migration, and the building of the telegraph and the transcontinental railroad. But at its center lies a group of men, women, and children fleeing for their lives across the vast American West, and a man Buffalo Bill Cody called the “greatest Indian America ever produced.”“Nowhere has [this story] been portrayed with more sensitivity and understanding than in Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce. Kent Nerburn . . . writes from the Indians’ perspective with insight and reverence.” —Columbus Dispatch“Crisp, energetic account . . . reads like fictionalized history in the tradition of Mari Sandoz’s Crazy Horse.” —The Oregonian“A must read for every instructor of American history who want to present balance to the vast misrepresentations and distortions of American Indian history.” —Grand Rapids Press“Nerburn has written about a man of humility and grandeur, whose patient anguish and devotion to his people should be part of our national mythos. This is storytelling with a greatness of heart.” —Louise Erdrich, author of The Painted Drum

  Adversity is an inherent part of life that comes in many forms—whether it's a personal struggle, a professional challenge, or a global crisis. It is something that everyone will face at some point, though its shape and size may vary. Often, adversity is perceived as a barrier, a force that stands in the way of success and happiness. However, adversity can also serve as a catalyst for growth, transformation, and self-discovery. To truly understand the nature of adversity, one must first accept that it is inevitable. No one is exempt from hardship, and this is not a reflection of personal failure or weakness. Instead, it is a universal experience that connects all human beings, regardless of age, background, or circumstance. 
  In many ways, adversity is an unavoidable part of the human condition. It tests our endurance, resilience, and ability to navigate difficult situations. While facing challenges can often feel overwhelming, it also provides an opportunity for individuals to tap into their inner strength and develop qualities like perseverance, patience, and emotional fortitude. The key lies in how we respond to adversity. The manner in which we approach difficulties can shape the outcome, transforming seemingly insurmountable obstacles into stepping stones for progress.

  The Monsters We Make - Murder...

  A riveting work of true crime that tells the strange story of criminal profiling from Victorian times to our own. 
    
  Criminal profiling—the delicate art of collecting and deciphering the psychological “fingerprints” of the monsters among us—holds an almost mythological status in pop culture. But what exactly is it, does it work, and why is the American public so entranced by it? What do we gain, and endanger, from studying why people commit murder? In The Monsters We Make, author Rachel Corbett explores how criminal profiling became one of society’s most seductive and quixotic undertakings through five significant moments in its history. 
    
  Corbett follows Arthur Conan Doyle through the London alleyways where Jack the Ripper butchered his victims, depicts the tailgate outside of Ted Bundy’s execution, and visits the remote Montana cabin where Ted Kaczynski assembled his antiestablishment bombs. Along the way emerge the people who studied and unraveled these cases. We meet self-taught psychologist Henry Murray, who profiled Adolf Hitler at the request of the U.S. government and later profiled his own students—including the future Unabomber—by subjecting them to cruel humiliation experiments. We also meet the prominent Yale psychiatrist Dorothy Lewis, who ended up testifying that Bundy was too sick to stand trial. Finally, Corbett takes the story into our own time, explaining the rise of modern “predictive policing” policies through a study of one Florida family that the analytics targeted—to devastating effects. 
    
  With narrative intrigue and deft research, Corbett delves deep into the mythology and reality of criminal profilers, revealing how thin the line can be separating those who do harm and those who claim to stop it. 
    
  “Corbett [is] a gifted storyteller … A highly readable, endlessly revealing primer on the homicidal mind.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
