  American Poetry - A Very Short...

  With lively writing and illuminating examples, David Caplan argues that two characteristics mark the vast, contentious literature. On the one hand, several of America's major poets and critics claim that America needs a poetry equal to the country's distinctiveness. They advocate for novelty and for a break with what is perceived to be outmoded and foreign. On the other hand, American poetry welcomes techniques, styles, and traditions that originate from far beyond its borders. The force of these two competing characteristics, American poetry's emphasis on its uniqueness and its transnationalism, drives both individual accomplishment and the broader field. These two characteristic features energize American poetry, quickening its development into a great national literature that continues to inspire poets in the contemporary moment. 
   
   
   
  American Poetry: A Very Short Introduction moves through history and honors the poets' artistry by paying close attention to the verse forms, meters, and styles they employ. Examples range from Anne Bradstreet, writing a century before the United States was founded, to the poets of the Black Lives Matter movement. This concise examination of American poetry enriches our understanding of both the literature's distinctive achievement and the place of its most important writers within it.

  Rehabilitation Therapy -...

  Rehabilitation therapy is a cornerstone of recovery for individuals who have experienced trauma, injury, or illness, providing a structured and supportive path to restoring physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on helping individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life, tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. 
  At its essence, rehabilitation therapy seeks to address the diverse challenges that arise from trauma. Whether the trauma is physical, such as a broken bone or a neurological injury, or psychological, such as the aftermath of emotional distress, rehabilitation offers a comprehensive strategy for recovery. By emphasizing both short-term and long-term goals, it provides a clear framework for progress, helping individuals reclaim their ability to participate in daily activities and achieve a sense of normalcy. 
  One of the defining aspects of rehabilitation therapy is its reliance on collaboration. It brings together a team of professionals—physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and medical specialists—who work in unison to create personalized care plans. These plans are designed to address the specific needs of the individual, recognizing that no two recovery journeys are alike. Family members and caregivers also play a crucial role, providing support and encouragement that can significantly enhance the healing process.

  A military historian analyzes the ingenious WWII tanks known as Hobart’s Funnies, detailing their development and their role in the D-Day campaign. When the British and Canadians landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944, they were accompanied by specialized armored vehicles designed to remove German obstacles and mines. Developed by the Royal Engineers, these tanks known as Hobart's Funnies featured a range of ingenious innovations, from carpet-laying and bridge-laying devices to a giant 290-millimeter mortar.   Examining these vehicles from technical development to combat deployment, military historian Richard C. Anderson Jr. gives a minute-by-minute account of D-Day's early hours on Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches—the critical moments when success hinged on the assault engineers’ ability to  clear a path or breach the seawall.   Anderson also describes the events on Omaha and Utah Beaches, where U.S. troops, despite being offered these vehicles, stormed ashore without them. Through careful comparison of conditions and outcomes, Anderson assesses the vehicles’ performance and impact on D-Day's successes and failures.
