Sinopse

In "The Influence of Sea Power on the French Revolution," Alfred Thayer Mahan offers a profound exploration of the intricate relationship between naval power and geopolitical dynamics during the late 18th century. Mahan's narrative intertwines historical analysis with strategic insights, employing a meticulous examination of maritime activities that shaped the revolutionary fervor in France. His eloquent prose reflects a synthesis of military history and political theory, positioning naval dominance as a pivotal factor influencing the course of the French Revolution and subsequent European conflicts. The book engages with the broader context of maritime power in shaping national interests, making it a seminal work in naval history. Alfred Thayer Mahan (1840-1914), a prominent U.S. naval officer and historian, is best known for his theories on sea power and its crucial role in global strategy. His experiences during a transformative period of naval warfare undoubtedly informed his analysis, as did his profound understanding of history and geopolitics. Mahan's insights were revered by military leaders and scholars alike, leading to the development of naval policies in various nations, significantly influencing modern naval doctrine. This book is essential for readers interested in military history, politics, and strategy, providing a nuanced understanding of how control over the seas can shape national destiny. Mahan's rigorous examination offers lasting lessons on the importance of naval power that resonate well beyond the historical period it addresses. The insights laid out in this work continue to inform contemporary discussions on international relations and maritime strategy.

    During a bus ride with a group of fellow college students, Jenny Booth Potter came to a life-changing realization. She decided that racism in all its forms—in policies and systems, in organizations and churches, in neighborhoods and families—could no longer be tolerated. And even though Jenny didn't know what to do about racism, she was certain of one thing: doing nothing is no longer an option. That declaration Jenny made to her peers was more than seven words uttered on a bus. It was a vow, a lifetime commitment to seek racial justice. 
     
     
     
    With candor and humility, Jenny shares her very imperfect but relentless journey of growing in awareness of racism, of reckoning with her own white privilege, and of learning how to be an antiracism advocate alongside her young family. If you're anything like Jenny was on that bus—overwhelmed by the enormity of racism and compelled to do something, but uncertain if you can actually make any difference—then this book is for you. Join Jenny and see for yourself what everyday antiracism looks like.

    Most of us try to avoid feeling sad, but in this candid, comical, and deeply-felt book, therapist Chelsea Harvey Garner doesn’t just argue that the future will be brighter if we learn to enjoy the unenjoyable and support each other when the vibes aren’t so good, she also shows us how. 
    What if all the advice we’ve received about “looking on the bright side” is wrong? What if sadness is actually the key to happiness, and can even be . . . fun? Garner is here to make that case. In this feel-good guide to feeling bad, she claims it’s not enough for us to tolerate hard feelings. We need to embrace them. We need to let them show by crying with others. Often. In public. 
    Playful, at times irreverent, but always sincere, Garner is the grown-up Miss Frizzle for the therapy generation. She believes that if we want to build a world where mental health is the norm, we have to lean into connection and count on each other, even—and perhaps especially—at our worst. 
    Through anecdotes about her own hardships and insights gained in her clinical practice, Garner illuminates the power (and embarrassment) of opening up. Featuring solo exercises, group activities, and journal prompts alongside personal essays, she invites us to see emotions in a new light and engage with them in a healthier way. A Pity Party is Still a Party helps us find the silver lining, but only after we’ve played in the rain. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    How farmer's markets and organic produce became synonymous with "good food" and why they shouldn't be.
       
    How did farmer's markets, nose-to-tail, locavorism, organic eating, CSAs, whole foods, and Whole Foods become synonymous with “good food”? And are these practices really producing food that is morally, environmentally, or economically sustainable? Rebecca Tucker's compelling, reported argument shows that we must work to undo the moral coding that we use to interpret how we come by what we put on our plates. She investigates not only the danger of the accepted rhetoric, but the innovative work happening on farms and university campuses to create a future where nutritious food is climate-change resilient, hardy enough to grow season after season, and, most importantly, available to all—not just those willing or able to fork over the small fortune required for a perfect heirloom tomato.
       
    Tucker argues that arriving at that future will require a broad cognitive shift away from the idea that farmer's markets, community gardens, and organic food production is the only sustainable way forward; more than that, it will require the commitment of research firms, governments, corporations, and post-secondary institutions to develop and implement agri­science innovations that do more than improve the bottom line. A Matter of Taste asks us to rethink what good food really is.
