Hayes crafts a thrilling narrative steeped in the military adventures of young protagonists during World War I. Hayes employs a vivid, action-driven prose style that captures the urgency and tension of naval warfare, exemplifying the era's penchant for patriotic fervor and youthful heroism. Set against the backdrop of the Allied naval supremacy and the decline of the German Navy, the book immerses readers in a world of espionage, daring sea battles, and the indomitable spirit of youth, typical of early 20th-century adventure literature aimed at instilling national pride among young readers. Clair W. Hayes, an author known for his contributions to children's literature during the tumultuous early 1900s, drew upon contemporary events and technology in crafting his narratives. His keen interest in naval history and war literature, coupled with a desire to inspire a sense of bravery and patriotism in young readers, underscores his creative motivations. Hayes's works often reflect the societal values and challenges of his time, making them poignant artifacts of American literature. Recommended for readers seeking an exhilarating read infused with historical significance, Hayes's work is a captivating exploration of bravery and camaraderie in the face of adversity.

    Sleep and dreams

    What if dreams were not a mystical enigma, but a living laboratory of the mind? In “Sleep and Dreams,” Alfred Maury, a pioneer of experimental psychology in the 19th century, conducts a fascinating investigation into what happens when consciousness falters: the genesis of dreams, the sequencing of images, the role of memory, hypnagogic illusions, nightmares, sleepwalking, ecstasy, hypnotism, intoxication, delirium… Nothing is left to chance. An indefatigable observer of himself, Maury multiplies experiments and precise accounts (induced awakenings, sensory stimuli during sleep, correspondences between real sensations and dream scenes) to dismantle the mechanics of dreaming and its close links with the body, the senses, and memory. As the pages unfold, the boundaries blur between dream, madness, and genius: the mind associates through assonance, amplifies impressions, creates believable hallucinations, and sometimes reveals forgotten memories. Clear, methodical, and often surprising, this classic brings psychology, physiology, and captivating testimonies into dialogue. For anyone who questions imagination, consciousness, or the mystery of the night, it is a foundational, bold, and strikingly modern work — to be heard as a scientific and intimate adventure where the dream learns to speak.

  • 7 Signs You May Be Unintentionally Manipulative - Recognizing and Correcting Harmful Behaviors - cover

    7 Signs You May Be...

    Unintentional manipulation is a behavior that often goes unnoticed, even by the person exhibiting it. Many people associate manipulation with malicious intent, but the reality is that it can stem from deep-seated insecurities, learned behaviors, or a lack of self-awareness. When manipulation is unintentional, it can be especially difficult to recognize because the person engaging in it often believes they are acting out of necessity, self-protection, or even love. However, these behaviors can have lasting negative effects on relationships, creating tension, mistrust, and emotional exhaustion for both parties involved.  
      
    Understanding manipulation requires a willingness to look inward and examine patterns of communication and interaction. Some people use guilt, passive-aggression, or victimhood as a means of influencing others without realizing that these tactics can be harmful. Others may withdraw affection or communication to maintain control in situations where they feel vulnerable. In some cases, even excessive people-pleasing can be a form of manipulation, as it subtly pressures others to respond in a certain way. These behaviors are often unconscious, but they still impact those around us. Recognizing them is the first step toward change.   
      
    The purpose of this book is not to shame or condemn but to provide insight into these behaviors and offer practical steps for improvement. No one is perfect, and many people engage in manipulative behaviors at some point in their lives. However, when these behaviors become patterns, they can erode trust and create unhealthy dynamics. By identifying the signs of unintentional manipulation, individuals can develop healthier ways of expressing their needs, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.

    Julius Franklin Howell was born in Suffolk, Virginia, in 1846. He enlisted in the Confederate States Army in 1862 and served in the 24th Virginia Cavalry until 1864 when his regiment was moved to the north of Richmond as Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant fought near Petersburg. Howell took part in the cavalry charge against Union artillery and infantry at a clearing near the Darbytown Road, during which he was shot in the leg. After his recovery, Howell returned to fight and was captured at the Battle of Sailor's Creek in Amelia County, Virginia, on April 6, 1865, and held in a Union prison at Point Lookout, MD. when he heard about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. After the war, he became an educator, preserving the memories of the Confederate soldier and serving as Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans for decades. In 1947, he gave the following recording about his wartime experiences. He died a year later at the age of 102.

    The Beatons - A Medical Kindred...

    This book traces the Clann Meic-bethad or Clan MacBeth whose members practised medicine in the classic Gaelic tradition in various parts of Scotland from the early fourteenth to the early eighteenth century. From many medieval Gaelic manuscripts known to have been in their possession, individual members of the clan and their activities are identified. Sometime in the second half of the sixteenth century the kindred began to adopt Beaton as a surname for use in non-Gaelic contexts.
    The medical Beatons fell naturally into two divisions: one confined mainly to the Western Isles and the other to the mainland of Scotland. This detailed study of the Beatons and their medicine describes how the position of medical doctor was inherited by the eldest son, and potential Beaton physicians were sent out to be trained by other members of the family for several years before undertaking their own practice. The book provides information on medieval medicine at the highest levels of Highland society.
