Sinopsis

In "Under the Guns: A Woman's Reminiscences of the Civil War," Annie Wittenmyer offers a poignant and deeply personal account of her experiences during one of America's most tumultuous eras. Written in a compelling narrative style that intertwines vivid imagery with stark realism, Wittenmyer's work serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the resilience of women in war. The book is enriched by her firsthand observations and reflections, showcasing the often-overlooked roles that women played, from nursing soldiers to managing households in times of strife. The literary context situates Wittenmyer's memoir alongside other contemporaneous accounts, illustrating the blend of personal narrative and broader historical commentary that characterizes Civil War literature. Annie Wittenmyer was a prominent social reformer and advocate for women's rights, deeply affected by the societal upheaval of the Civil War. Her experiences as a volunteer nurse and her commitment to advocating for soldiers' welfare shaped her perspective and fueled her desire to document the war's impact on women. This intersection of personal experience and broader social issues provides a rich backdrop for her reflections, making her insights all the more compelling and relevant. "Under the Guns" is a vital read for anyone interested in the Civil War, women's history, or memoirs that capture the human spirit amid adversity. Wittenmyer's eloquence and unflinching honesty invite readers to understand the complexities of war from a woman's perspective, making this work an essential contribution to American literature and an eye-opening exploration of a pivotal moment in history.

    A study of the world’s religious movements and what their history says about society today. 
     
    The Human Calling is a vigorously researched and profoundly spiritual narrative history of the world’s religious movements as they relate to society’s collective understanding of the duties they have to fellow people and looks ahead to what lessons from history can be applied as people navigate a technological age. 
     
    Focusing on the rise and fall of spiritual movements in both the East and West, The Human Calling examines what the world’s major religions have historically offered, asks what people are here for outside of pure survival, and makes the persuasive argument for Christianity as the best leader to guide individuals on the path toward better caring for one another—our human calling. The Human Calling takes readers through humanity’s three great thought movements:The first is the Axial Age, the source of the first great human reflection on public spirit and public orderThe second is the twelfth to seventeenths centuries, wrestles with the question of whether people can attain individual rationality in God’s orderThe third delves into the independent reasoning societies of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and looks forward to what people want their third great reflection on God’s plan to be during their own period of societal flux

    During the reign of the Artaxiad dynasty, Armenia became a hub of trade and commerce, connecting the Silk Road and the Mediterranean world. The Armenian kings encouraged the development of agriculture, commerce, and arts, and the kingdom became renowned for its skilled artisans, writers, and philosophers. Of course, given its central location, the dynasty also faced numerous challenges, including repeated invasions by the Roman and Parthian empires, internal conflicts, and economic hardships. The dynasty’s resilience and adaptability enabled it to survive for nearly two centuries, leaving behind a rich cultural and political legacy that has endured in the region, even as its historical memory was overshadowed by its more powerful neighbors.  
    	After the collapse of the Artaxiad dynasty (at the onset of the 1st century BCE), Rome and the kingdom of Parthia engaged in a competition for political influence in the vast territory of Greater Armenia. The Parthian Arshakunis endeavored to expel Rome from the region, aiming to establish the dominance of their own lineage. The political strategy devised by Parthian King Artabanus III, however, remained unrealized, as his sons Vorodes and Arshak I, who held the throne in Great Armenia, were deposed due to the intervention of the Roman Emperor Tiberius. By inciting the Alban, Georgian, and other neighboring tribes against the Armenians, Tiberius facilitated the ascendancy of Mithridates, the brother of Iberian King Pharasmanes, to the throne of Greater Armenia in the year 36.  
    This set the pattern by which the Roman Empire sought to preserve its influence in Greater Armenia by employing foreign kings as proxies. In contrast, the Armenian people and their rulers strived to emancipate themselves from Roman hegemony and the dominance of their allies.

    When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
     
     
     
    In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
     
     
     
    This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.
