Sinopse

In "The Great Shadow and Other Napoleonic Tales," Arthur Conan Doyle ventures beyond his renowned detective fiction to explore the turbulent landscapes of the Napoleonic Wars. This collection of stories intertwines vivid historical detail with the author's characteristic narrative style, showcasing his ability to weave action, emotion, and morality into compelling tales. The stories reflect a nuanced understanding of the complexities of war, the intricacies of human character, and the specter of heroism that looms over these tumultuous times, demonstrating a literary context that honors and critiques the era's romanticism. Doyle's own experiences, including his training as a physician and a keen interest in history, deeply informed his portrayal of Napoleonic events. His historical empathy allows readers to glimpse the psychological intricacies of soldiers and civilians alike, reflecting a broader societal interest in the Napoleonic era during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Doyle's fascination with the heroism and tragedy of war, contrasted with civilian life, offers valuable insight into his motivations as a storyteller. Readers seeking a fresh perspective on historical fiction will find "The Great Shadow and Other Napoleonic Tales" both engaging and enlightening. This collection not only showcases Doyle's narrative prowess but also enriches our understanding of a pivotal moment in world history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the intertwining of personal and historical narratives.

  • SCOUTS OUT! - A Kiowa Warrior Pilot’s Perspective of War in Afghanistan - cover

    SCOUTS OUT! - A Kiowa Warrior...

    The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior—a deep reconnaissance scout and attack aircraft—was legendary to those it supported. Regularly flying mere feet off of the ground while intentionally drawing enemy fire, almost everyone called Kiowa pilots crazy. Responsible for hunting elusive enemy fighters and protecting those under their charge, Kiowa crews displayed a fierce and intense devotion that was unparalleled. 
    Through the vantage point of a Kiowa Warrior helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army's Air Cavalry, Scouts Out! offers a truly unique view of the war in Afghanistan. This is accomplished by revealing a deeply personal journey through two deployments, documenting the day-to-day life, struggles, combat, and extreme challenges faced. The after effects of these experiences can be witnessed as Ryan's outlook and very personality are forever altered and changed in unexpected ways. Drawing from copious journals and notes, everything captured in Scouts Out! is raw, real, and in-the-moment.  
    Richly illustrated with 70 original photographs and maps, Scouts Out! presents an essential and accurate narrative of the conflict in Afghanistan. Devoid of the filler and misleading propaganda that is so pervasive in modern media and writing, Scouts Out! is an engrossing true story from America's longest and least understood war.

    Angelica - For Love and Country...

    Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton's "saucy" sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson's "charming coterie" of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. 
     
     
     
    A woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries), Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries; in Newport, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette; in Yorktown, just after the decisive battle; in Paris and London, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage. 
     
     
     
    In this enthralling and revealing woman's-eye view of a revolutionary era, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica's story, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends, including the making of a new nation.

    Why Buddhist Practice? Why...

    Jennings is both a Buddhist practitioner and a psychologist. Here she talks about when it’s appropriate to bring our psychological struggles to our Buddhist teacher and when it is appropriate to bring them to a therapist. 
    In general, Jennings says the differences between them are: “When you are working with a therapist or an analyst, there is a sense of very personal explorations. The lens is to go in close and look at the particularities of the way a patient has gone through their life with very particular parents, family system, and culture, etc. Buddhist teachers tend to zoom out, and explore suffering from a more universal lens. So, when their Western students come to them with particular personal problems, they’ll tend to respond from this universal perspective that these are all manifestations of the same tendencies we all have.” 
    She discusses how each has much to give and addresses the value of having a spiritual community where you can look for support and have conversations, as contrasted to the psycho-analytic process where it is a one-on-one and the support comes from a single individual in the form of the therapist.
