Synopsis

In "Alsace-Lorraine under German Rule," Charles Downer Hazen offers a profound exploration of the complexities surrounding the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Hazen employs a rigorous historical lens infused with narrative depth, detailing the sociopolitical changes and cultural tensions that ensued during German governance. The text is marked by its analytical precision and contextual richness, examining not just the political ramifications but also the everyday lives of the people impacted by this contentious union. It stands as a significant contribution to studies on nationalism, colonialism, and European history, situated within the broader discourse of empire in late 19th-century Europe. Hazen, an esteemed American historian, brought to his work a wealth of knowledge stemming from his academic background at Columbia University, along with a keen understanding of European politics. His experiences and insights into the intense nationalism of the period likely influenced his desire to document the intricate dynamics between cultural identity and political authority in Alsace-Lorraine. Hazen's scholarship is characterized by his commitment to empiricism and a nuanced portrayal of historical events, making him a notable figure in historical narrative. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and history enthusiasts seeking a nuanced understanding of the geopolitical and cultural shifts that shaped modern Europe. Hazen's meticulous research and engaging prose make this work not only informative but also a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of history, identity, and power.

    An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion 
     
     
     
    Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

    A hopeful memoir about adapting when life doesn't go to plan, redefining family, and creating your own path. 
     
     
     
    One afternoon, Emma Nadler gets a call from her daughter's doctor that changes her life forever. Faced with the realities of raising a child with a rare genetic condition, Nadler must confront her preconceptions of motherhood and her perfectionistic beliefs. 
     
     
     
    Nadler—who also happens to be a psychotherapist—offers a rare window into the unconventional ways she and her family adapt to their improbable path. Every relationship in her life—with herself, her husband, children, friends, and even clients—is reimagined as she navigates the heartbreak and hilarity of her daily life. 
     
     
     
    As she and her husband join the 53 million caregivers in the US, Nadler wrestles to belong in a society that devalues both caregivers and people with disabilities. She challenges the scripts that mothers should be martyrs, or that self-sacrifice is a necessary component of love. Nadler illustrates the complexity, grief, and joy of living an unexpected life, all with the wisdom of a therapist, the heart of a loving parent, and the ingenuity of a queer woman who refuses to be shackled by cultural expectations.

    The Second World War was fought not only on the front lines but also in secrets, some of which have never been revealed. One such secret was buried in the deep, dark forest of Katyn, Poland. The other in the pages of a notebook hidden in an otherwise unremarkable café in an ancient Polish city.
    		 
    That notebook, known as the Scottish Book, was an obscure work of intellectual gamesmanship between a specialized group of mathematicians who met at a local pub near the town’s medieval university, where they shared and solved complex mathematical problems in the pages of the book. In 1939, as the Nazis overran the country, the book mysteriously vanished from its hiding place in the café. Some of its contributors avoided certain death by fleeing Poland  for America, where the government recruited them. Ultimately, some of these intellectuals became participants in a deadly undertaking: the Manhattan Project.
    		 
    Who Has Buried the Dead? may be fiction, but it draws on years of research to plausibly answer the real questions surrounding one of the last great secrets of the Second World War. What did the Scottish Book contain that led the NKVD, the Gestapo, and the Allies on a desperate search, using any means to find it? Why has its existence not factored into the telling of Second World War history? What is ultimately revealed within the Scottish Book that brought mortal enemies and their top spy operatives into a deadly contest for its discovery and seizure?
