  In Anger Management for Parents, a workbook guide on how to manage your emotions we will dive into how to first process and overcome your anger, with steps that will help you calm yourself and begin to turn away from angry outbursts. 
  Once you have mastered that, we will begin to teach you how to mend the relationship you have with your child; an angry parent can divide a household and ruin bridges that were meant to last a lifetime. We will begin to build them back for you and your family. Once you have managed your anger and your child’s anger, we will turn our attention toward the future, where we will teach you how to make sure your child does not follow in your footsteps. 
  Though the process will take well over a year to complete, this book will guide you through the most difficult times of it. Each chapter brings with it detailed lists and lessons that will aid you. Though I will never claim that the lessons will be easy or quick, they will be worth it. 
  The lessons that you will learn in this book will help you far after you have finished this book. Beyond just yourself, you will learn to help your children and extended family. And if you get confident enough and sturdy enough in what you have learned, you can join focus groups and tell the story of how it is done. 
  And finally, you will begin to have new memories that you can remember instead of the harsh ones that you carry with you now. To be released of the turmoil that those memories send you nightly. You will remember instead of your child telling you they love you, and you know they mean it. New hobbies and activities that your children will ask you to join them with as they will no longer fear your outbursts but rather cherish your laughter.

  From the critically acclaimed artist, designer, and author of the bestsellers The Principles of Uncertainty, My Favorite Things, and Women Holding Things comes a moving meditation on remorse, joy, ancestry, and memory. 
  Maira Kalman’s most autobiographical and intimate work to date, Still Life with Remorse is a beautiful collection of deeply personal stories in the vein of her and Alex Kalman’s acclaimed Women Holding Things. 
  Tracing her family’s story from her grandfather’s birth in Belarus and emigration to Tel Aviv—where she was born—Maira considers her unique family history, illuminating the complex relationship between recollection, regret, happiness, and heritage. In addition to vignettes exploring her Israeli and Jewish roots, Kalman includes short stories about other great artists, writers, and composers, including Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Gustav Mahler, and Robert Schumann. 
  Through these narratives, Kalman uses her signature wit and tenderness to reveal how family history plays an influential role in all of our work, lives, and perspectives. A feat of storytelling and vulnerability, Still Life with Remorse explores the profound hidden in the quotidian, and illuminates the powerful universal truths in our most personal family stories.

  “The failure to crush the Federal army in Pennsylvania in 1863, in the opinion of almost all of the officers of the Army of Northern Virginia, can be expressed in five words: the absence of the cavalry.” – Confederate General Henry Heth 
  Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all. 
  Day 1 of the battle would have been one of the 25 biggest battles of the Civil War itself, and it ended with a tactical Confederate victory. But over the next two days, Lee would try and fail to dislodge the Union army with attacks on both of its flanks during the second day and Pickett’s Charge on the third and final day. Meade’s stout defense held, barely, repulsing each attempted assault, handing the Union a desperately needed victory that ended up being one of the Civil War’s turning points. 
  After the South had lost the war, the importance of Gettysburg as one of the “high tide” marks of the Confederacy became apparent to everyone, making the battle all the more important in the years after it had been fought. While former Confederate generals cast about for scapegoats, with various officers pointing fingers at Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, and James Stuart, historians and avid Civil War fans became obsessed with studying and analyzing all the command decisions and army movements during the entire campaign. Despite the saturation of coverage, Americans refuse to grow tired of visiting the battlefield and reliving the biggest battle fought in North America.
