Summary

In "On War," Carl von Clausewitz presents a profound exploration of the nature and philosophy of warfare, intertwining theoretical analysis with practical observations drawn from his military experience. Written in a complex yet engaging prose style, Clausewitz delves into concepts such as the 'fog of war' and the 'friction' of combat, examining how uncertainty and chaos influence military strategy. His work is not merely a treatise on military tactics; it reflects broader themes of politics, society, and human nature in the context of conflict, providing a nuanced understanding of war as a continuation of politics by other means. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian general and military theorist, wrote this pivotal work during the early 19th century, shaped by his experiences in the Napoleonic Wars. His unique position within the military elite, coupled with his philosophical background, allowed him to fuse practical military insights with a rigorous intellectual framework. Clausewitz's reflections on the interplay of war and politics were groundbreaking and have influenced generations of military leaders, policymakers, and scholars. "On War" is an essential read for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of warfare and strategy. Its insights remain remarkably relevant in contemporary discussions on military conflict, politics, and ethics. Readers from diverse fields'Äîincluding military history, political science, and philosophy'Äîwill find value in Clausewitz's timeless analyses and provocative ideas.

    The only state born as a result of the Civil War, West Virginia was the most divided state in the nation. About forty thousand of its residents served in the combatant forces about twenty thousand on each side. 
     
     
     
    The Mountain State also saw its fair share of battles, skirmishes, raids, and guerrilla warfare, with places like Harpers Ferry, Philippi, and Rich Mountain becoming household names in 1861. When the Commonwealth of Virginia seceded from the Union on April 17, 1861, leaders primarily from the northwestern region of the state began the political process that eventually led to the creation of West Virginia on June 20, 1863. Renowned Civil War historian Mark A. Snell has written the first thorough history of these West Virginians and their civil war in more than fifty years.

    A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
     
     
      
    Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
     
     
      
    Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.

    That Dazzling Sun, Book 2 in The Tinsmith's Apprentice trilogy, continues the vivid coming-of-age story of Isaac Granger, slave to Thomas Jefferson, begun in Bechtel's marvelously adept debut novel, "A Partial Sun" in which Isaac begins his complicated apprenticeship at age fifteen as a tinsmith in Philadelphia in the fall of 1790.In this second book, Rachel Bringhouse, the tinsmith's daughter and Isaac's tutur, sails off to Englad to work alongside the famous social activist and poet, Hannah Moore, writing enthusiastic letters to Isaac and which Isaac answers back with assistance from the irrepressibly poetic cook's helper, Ovid. Meanwhile, Billey gardner, the feisty and opportunistic former slave of James Madison, pesters Isaac with notions of a business partnership; the charismatic Dr. Cornelius Sharp uses Isaac to confront Jefferson as a debt-ridden slaveowner; and the Reverend Richard Allen provides Isaac with a most surprising document.When an exuberant Rachel returns from England with a key insight and Isaac's hated nemesis Daniel Shady reappears, bent on revenge, the book rises to its crescendo, in which Isaac must rise to his own power and bargain at last with Thomas Jefferson on his own terms.
