  In many ways, we've been telling the same stories, over and over, for the last 2300 years. This book will show you why, and how you can do it too. 
  For centuries, dramatic writers have relied on Aristotelian principles to write their stories for the screen and stage—the same stories you stream and watch today. But for the first time ever, the timeless principles from Aristotle’s esteemed Poetics have been adapted for novelists. 
  With succinct clarity, novelist Douglas Vigliotti shows you exactly how to write a novel using tried-and-true principles that have been used since antiquity to tell great stories. These principles are the foundation on which any story can be written. Whether you are writing your first or tenth novel, Aristotle for Novelists has something to offer any serious writer of fiction. It is both a challenge to writers to simplify their craft and a no-frills, impassioned outcry for novelists everywhere.

  Exodus from the Alamo - The...

  "Contrary to movie and legend, we now know that the defenders of the Alamo in the war for Texan independence—including Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William B. Travis—did not die under brilliant sunlight, defending their positions against hordes of Mexican infantry. Instead, the Mexicans launched a predawn attack, surmounting the walls in darkness, forcing a wild melee inside the fort before many of its defenders had even awoken. In this book, Dr. Tucker, after deep research into recently discovered Mexican accounts and forensic evidence, informs us that the traditional myth of the Alamo is even more off-base: most of the Alamo’s defenders died in breakouts from the fort, cut down by Santa Anna’s cavalry that was positioned to intercept the escapees. A number of the Alamo’s defenders did hang on inside the fort, fighting back every way they could, but most of the Texans, in two groups, broke out of the fort after the enemy had broken in, and the primary fights took place on the plain outside. Still fighting desperately, the Texans’ retreat was halted by cavalry, and afterward, Mexican lancers plied their trade with charges into the midst of the remaining resisters. Notoriously, Santa Anna burned the bodies of the Texans who had dared stand against him. But as this book proves in thorough detail, the funeral pyres were well outside the fort—where the two separate groups of escapees fell on the plain, rather than in the Alamo itself. "

  The Old U(VA) and I: 1961-1965 
  By: Frank Briggs 
  The decade of the 1960s saw sweeping changes at UVA as old barriers fell and students of new backgrounds came. Litigation that lasted from the late 1940s through the end of the 1960s eliminated historic barriers to African American and women students. No detailed UVA-specific narrative has existed until former graduates from two ends of the decade, Joel Gardner, BA 1970, Rebel Yell to Revolution, in 2018 and now Frank Briggs, BA 1965, recognized that the University had changed in the most profound ways and used their own experiences to document what happened. This book will attract anyone who lived through that heady period. It will appeal also to others, to women and men who grew up later, and who may have wondered why and how the good old days ended and America stepped beyond them. Some might say grew up. 
  —John T. Casteen III, President Emeritus, University of Virginia, 1990–2010 
  Frank Briggs’s memoir is a highly entertaining trip in time to an era in UVA history that predated the social upheavals of the late 1960s. We accompany the author through his four years in a cloistered culture of tradition that had not changed over many decades. In a series of revealing and amusing anecdotes, we relive the road trips, party weekends, and collegiate shenanigans that dominated the student experience during that period. This is a must read for every Wahoo who lived through that era or anyone who has an interest in the social history of college life prior to the cultural revolution that swept across the country after Briggs’s graduation. 
  —Joel B. Gardner, Author, From Rebel Yell to Revolution: My Four Years at UVA, 1966–1970

  Qin Dynasty The: A History of China

  "The Qin Dynasty: A History of China" takes you on a journey through one of the most dramatic chapters in Chinese history. From the unification of the warring states to the iron rule of Qin Shi Huang, this book dives deep into the empire that set the foundation for China's future. The First Emperor built a centralized government, enforced strict laws, and undertook grand projects like the Great Wall and his massive underground mausoleum. But his rule was also marked by fear—the infamous Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars, heavy taxation, and forced labor that pushed people to their limits. When Qin Shi Huang passed away, his successors struggled to hold the empire together, and cracks began to show. 
  As unrest spread, a single spark ignited a rebellion that would shake the empire to its core. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, two common soldiers, defied orders and rose up, setting off a wave of uprisings across the land. The once-unbreakable Qin Dynasty faced challenge after challenge, as ambitious warlords seized the opportunity to fight for power. Among them, two figures stood out—Liu Bang, a clever and adaptable leader with a commoner's background, and Xiang Yu, a fearsome warrior whose strength was unmatched. Their rivalry would turn into a fierce battle for control over China, each determined to claim victory in their own way. 
  Through shifting alliances, brilliant strategies, and brutal clashes, the struggle between these two giants shaped the fate of an empire. As cities fell and armies clashed, their contrasting styles of leadership and personal ambitions drove them toward an inevitable showdown. Would brute force or cunning strategy decide the future of China? As tensions rose, betrayal lurked in the shadows, and the tide of war could change in an instant.
