    Contagiously curious essays on reading, art, and the life of the mind, from the acclaimed author of The Unreality of Memory. 
     
    Who are we when we read? When we journal? Are we more ourselves alone or with friends? Right now or in memory? How does time transform us and the art we love? 
     
    In sixteen dazzling, expansive essays, the acclaimed essayist and poet Elisa Gabbert explores a life lived alongside books of all kinds: dog-eared and destroyed, cherished and discarded, classic and clichėd, familiar and profoundly new. She turns her witty, searching mind to the writers she admires, from Plath to Proust, and the themes that bind them―chance, freedom, envy, ambition, nostalgia, and happiness. She takes us to the strange edges of art and culture, from hair metal to surf movies to party fiction. Any Person Is the Only Self is a love letter to literature and to life, inviting us to think alongside one of our most thrilling and versatile critics.

    Jamestown is remembered today because the settlement did survive through the hardships and go on to serve as the capital of the English colony for much of the 17th century. Likewise, the English would forge a settlement in Massachusetts Bay that also maintained tenuous relations with nearby natives. But while conflicts between settlers and natives remain well known, some of the European conflicts in North America have been overlooked, including England’s competitions with Spain and the Netherlands. When the West India Company, which presided over Dutch trade in the Americas, was created in 1621, a little settlement at the tip of Manhattan began to both grow and falter. When Willem Kieft arrived as director in 1638, it was already a sort of den of iniquity, full of “mischief and perversity,” where residents were given over to smoking and drinking grog and beer. Under Kieft’s reign, more land was acquired mostly through bloody, all-but-exterminating wars with the Native American population, whose numbers also dwindled at the hands of European-borne diseases.  
    	On September 13, 1759, a battle was fought on the Plains of Abraham outside the old city of Quebec that was one of the turning point battles in world history. Thanks to the British victory and the events that followed, Canada went from being a colony of France (New France) to being a colony of Great Britain, which permanently changed Canadian history. In many ways, the outcome of the battle brought about several American attempts to seize Canada during the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, and ultimately it ensured that when Canada became an independent country, it was part of the British Commonwealth with an Anglophone majority and a Francophone minority. Frictions over cultural and political issues between the English Canadians and the Québécois, dating back to the battle, continue to impact the state of affairs in Canada today.

    Virtues of Strength is a powerful and inspiring journey through the core traits that help us rise above adversity and keep going when life gets tough. This 3-in-1 volume focuses on three foundational virtues—Courage, Endurance, and Perseverance—each offering a lens through which to understand our inner power and resilience. 
    In the first section, Courage, readers explore the bravery required to face fears, confront injustice, and make difficult choices even in the face of uncertainty. It's not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it that defines this virtue. 
    The second section, Endurance, dives into the strength to keep going under pressure—mentally, emotionally, and physically. Whether it's enduring pain, loss, or hardship, this virtue reminds us that we are capable of weathering life’s storms without giving up. 
    The final section, Perseverance, highlights the determination to pursue goals with consistent effort and hope, even when progress is slow or setbacks occur. It celebrates the long-haul spirit that turns dreams into achievements, and obstacles into stepping stones. 
    Rich with timeless wisdom and real-world examples, Virtues of Strength equips readers with the mindset and emotional fortitude to face life’s challenges head-on. This book is for anyone seeking to deepen their character, build resilience, and walk through difficulty with purpose and dignity.

    Philosophy is the study of problems concerning matters as fundamental as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BC) is said to have coined the term. Philosophical methods were applied through questioning, critical discussion, rational arguments, and systematic presentations on questions like "Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?" Major areas in academic philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, logic, philosophy of science, and the history of Western philosophy.
