  “In this incredibly courageous expose,” Vietnam veterans discuss the long-lasting effects of PTSD and their strategies for coping (Publishers Weekly). Though much has been written about the short-term experience of combat trauma, very few resources discuss how that trauma continues to impact individuals into later life. In this volume, retired Army Chaplain James D. Johnson relates how fifteen Vietnam veterans have been affected by the terror they experienced four decades ago, and how it continues to affect them today.   With candor and vivid detail, they reveal how their combat trauma symptoms still infect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors on a daily basis. Their stories offer valuable insight for today’s soldiers returning from battle, as well as for their loved ones. The experiences shared here can help them address and cope with the ongoing challenges of PTSD.   Those who still carry these wounds will find that they are not alone, and that there are ways of dealing with the horror, no matter how long ago it took place.

  ""Star Wars is the ultimate mythological tale of our age, a hero's journey that is a tribute to the beauty of human freedom as well as an exploration of its dark complexities. In this gem of a book, the brilliant Cass Sunstein uses the series to explore profound questions about being a parent, a child, and a human. It will change the way you think about your own journey, and it might even make you pick up the phone and call your dad.""  – Walter Isaacson 
  A deeply original celebration of George Lucas’s masterpiece as it relates to history, presidential politics, law, economics, fatherhood, and culture by Harvard legal scholar and former White House advisor. 
  There’s Santa Claus, Shakespeare, Mickey Mouse, The Bible, and then there’s Star Wars. Nothing quite compares to sitting with down with a young child and hearing the sound of John Williams’ score as those beloved golden letters fill the screen. In this fun, erudite and often moving book, Cass R. Sunstein explores the lessons of Star Wars as they relate to childhood, fathers, the Dark Side, rebellion, and redemption. As it turns out, Star Wars also has a lot to teach us about constitutional law, economics, and political uprisings. 
  In rich detail, Sunstein tells story of the films’ wildly unanticipated success and what it has to say about why some things succeed while others fail. Ultimately, Sunstein argues, Star Wars is about the freedom of choice and our never-ending ability to make the right decision when the chips are down. Written with buoyant prose and considerable heart, The World According to Star Wars shines new light on the most beloved story of our time.

  It's Good to Be Lost Once in a...

  A soulful guide to embracing uncertainty, unlearning what no longer serves us, and discovering the beauty of becoming through life's transitions. 
  It's Good to Be Lost Once in a While seeks to help us, at different times in our day and life, to respond to the overarching question: What can I do most beautifully with my life? The audiobook, as a whole, reminds us that as we move through the day and different phases of our lives—as well as are required to face both inner transitions and external change—we must recognize that we are simultaneously the expert and the novice. Being concerned about the impact of what we don't already know is natural. However, an even greater danger to living a rich and meaningful life is what we think we already know, but really don't. When we are willing to honor this reality humbly, we are more able to let go, unlearn, and embrace needed additional knowledge when necessary. In the process, we can better discern our true gifts and welcome the heretofore unimaginable faces of . . . new possibility. 
  To enable this process to become richer, the following themes are explored: discernment, knowing the 5 necessary companions we need for our life's journey to be meaningful and satisfying, overcoming psychological resistance to growth and change, enhancing kenosis (inner spaciousness), mindfulness and the reflective process, mining the positive results of failure and uncertainty, and applying the principles of posttraumatic growth (PTG) in the search for possibility.

  Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction aims to offer a concise introduction to comparative law—its objectives, methods, concepts, and uses. After an overview of the fundamental definitions, key concepts, and basic lexicon of the discipline, the book proposes an analysis of the most successful techniques adopted in legal comparison for mapping the world's legal systems and for explaining legal change and diffusion of law, also giving a concise description of the legal traditions of the world. 
   
   
   
  It also offers an account of the competing approaches adopted over time in comparative endeavors, from functionalism to culturalism and postmodernism, and highlights the different emphasis placed by each of these approaches on commonalities, faith in universal law and convergence, or on divergence and irreducible differences. Finally, the book provides listeners with an understanding of the practical use of comparative law, describing how legal comparison is employed both in lawmaking and in adjudication, supplementing legal reasoning and interpretation.
