Synopsis

In "Mexico, Aztec, Spanish and Republican," Brantz Mayer offers a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of Mexico's rich and tumultuous history, intertwining its indigenous roots with European colonial influences and the subsequent forging of a republican identity. Mayer's literary style blends meticulous historical research with vivid narrative prose, presenting readers with an engaging account that captures the complexities of Mexico'Äôs past. Contextualized within the 19th-century discourse on nationalism and identity, the book serves as both a historical narrative and a critical commentary on the socio-political dynamics of Mexico during a transformative era. Brantz Mayer, an American historian and journalist of the 19th century, was profoundly influenced by his travels and interactions with Mexican society. His firsthand observations and scholarly pursuits illuminated the interplay between ancient civilizations and modern governance in Mexico. Mayer's commitment to uncovering the deeper narratives behind national histories is evident in this work, as he seeks to foster a greater understanding of Mexico's multifaceted identity through the lens of its indigenous and colonial heritage. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Mexican history, colonial studies, and the evolution of national identities. Mayer's erudite yet accessible approach provides insightful perspectives for scholars and general readers alike, making it an essential addition to any library focused on Latin American historical narratives.

    An intimate retelling of Lyndon B. Johnson's politics and presidency by one of his closest advisors. 
     
     
     
    Horace Busby was one of LBJ's most trusted advisors; their close working and personal relationship spanned twenty years. In The Thirty-First of March he offers an indelible portrait of a president and a presidency at a time of crisis. From the aftereffects of the Kennedy assassination, when Busby was asked by the newly sworn-in president to sit by his bedside during his first troubled nights in office, to the concerns that defined the Great Society—civil rights, the economy, social legislation, housing, and the Vietnam War—Busby not only articulated and refined Johnson's political thinking, he also helped shape the most ambitious, far-reaching legislative agenda since FDR's New Deal. 
     
     
     
    Here is Johnson the politician, Johnson the schemer, Johnson who advised against JFK's choice of an open limousine that fateful day in Dallas, and Johnson the father, sickened by the deaths of young men fighting and dying in Vietnam on his orders. The Thirty-first of March is a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum of Johnson's presidency, as seen through the eyes of one of the people who understood him best.

    In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, loyalty, a hidden fortune…and a bride he can’t remember marrying.  Jude Coulter is far more comfortable in his family’s sapphire mine tucked in the Montana mountains than on the bustling streets of New York City, where he’s been sent to deliver a shipment of gems. His relief at boarding the train for the first leg of his journey home is short-lived when an accident renders him unconscious.  Angela Larkin worked hard to earn this assignment for the Treasury—an undercover mission to determine the source of the sapphires brought each year for auction in the city. When an accident causes her target to lose his recent memory, Angela jumps at the opportunity to create the ideal ruse. Jude seems surprised to learn the two of them had married and were returning from a glorious wedding trip, but his severe head injury keeps him from protesting…for now.  But the accident is far from the worst threat they face. When enemies close in, Angela and Jude must depend on each other to survive the treacherous journey home. As the danger mounts, so too does an attraction neither of them anticipated. But can their love withstand the revelation of their tangled beginnings?  From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a pretend marriage, amnesia, undercover agents, and a love worth treasuring far more than riches.

    Writing and sharing fiction allows adolescents to glimpse other lives 
     
     
     
    The current curricular emphasis on analytical writing can make it feel risky to teach creative writing in ELA classrooms. But the opportunity to write fiction in school opens many doors for young people: doors the author argues are critical to the development of our students, our education system, and even our democracy. 
     
     
     
    This book will delight English teachers weary of focusing relentlessly on argument and information writing. Veteran teacher Ariel Sacks vividly describes the many academic, social–emotional, and community-building advantages of teaching imaginative writing in the classroom, not least of which is the impact it has on equity for marginalized students. Her book is a teacher-to-teacher text that folds in detailed, practical guidance about how to design lessons and meet standards, while presenting a powerful central argument: that the writing of fiction should be treated not as a luxury for some, but as a center of the English curriculum for all students.

    Contrary to popular sentiment, Christianity is not dull or out of touch but fresh, relevant, exciting, and contemporary. The Church is political because it tells a radically different story from the dominant political norms of our day. Through a study of the Church’s liturgy, this book seeks to build confidence in the Church’s mission.
    
     
    Politics & Mission examines five pieces of liturgy—namely morning prayer, baptism, eucharist, footwashing and the funeral—detailing in turn the ways in which the language of the liturgy, which we often take for granted, is powerful and counter-cultural. Through its analysis, the book sheds light on three principal areas: what it is to be human, the challenges of contemporary mission, and the particular way in which the Church is political.
    
     
    In so doing, new resources are offered for the practicing Christian, those in Church leadership, and those looking at the Church from the outside, to reflect on and grapple with the challenges of this generation.
