Sinossi

In "Into Mexico with General Scott," Edwin L. Sabin masterfully chronicles the gripping narrative of the U.S. military campaign during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The book intricately weaves together historical fact and rich, vibrant storytelling, offering readers an immersive experience that reflects the tumultuous socio-political context of the time. Sabin's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions and a clear, engaging prose that captures both the chaos of war and the valor of those who fought. Through primary sources and meticulous research, he reconstructs the journey of General Winfield Scott's forces, providing an in-depth analysis of military strategies, cultural encounters, and the ethical dilemmas faced by leaders and soldiers alike. Edwin L. Sabin, a prolific author and historian, was deeply influenced by his passion for Western history and adventure narratives. His own experiences living in the Western United States and his admiration for military history propelled him to explore this significant conflict, exemplifying the complexities of American expansionism and its impacts. Sabin's extensive background in historical research and dedication to authenticity shines through as he presents a well-rounded depiction of this pivotal time in American history. I recommend "Into Mexico with General Scott" not only to students of military history but also to anyone interested in the cultural and ethical ramifications of American imperialism. Sabin's eloquent narration and thorough investigation will leave readers with a richer understanding of the interplay between warfare, politics, and human experience, making this book an essential addition to any historical library.

    Wired for Connection are the lessons clients taught a therapist over a career about love, courage, vulnerability, shame and authenticity 
    Therapists learn and grow from therapy with clients--and now you can too!  
    Carolyn graduated from counselling school with a ton of head knowledge. Carolyn read 1000’s of pages and written hundreds more and learned the models and the approaches in the books. Did this therapist know enough to actually help people? 
    Turns out she didn’t. 
    That’s where her clients come in. They taught her about life, about therapy, and about relationships. 
    So much of what clients taught her was paradoxical. Actually, they didn’t teach her—the most important lessons in life are better caught than taught. The lessons were counterintuitive to conventional relationship wisdom. 
    Together they learned the way to real relationships was messiness, mistakes and discomfort. They noticed the route to acceptance was authenticity, that tears make life better, and that raw courage is often about tender things like saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you”. And so much more. 
    Relationships are hard—but we are wired for them. We are wired for struggle and growth. Watching people struggle with their own lives has inspired her to struggle and grow in hers. 
    Relationships are hard for us all. But if we show up to connect, and we do it anything like right, we learn from each other. We learn from each other in ways that surprise and delight us. 
    We are wired for connection.

    In Misinformation Nation, Jordan E. Taylor reveals how foreign news defined the boundaries of early American politics and ultimately drove colonists to revolt against Britain and create a new nation. 
     
     
     
    News was the lifeblood of early American politics, but newspaper printers had few reliable sources to report on events from abroad. Though frequently false, the information that Americans encountered in newspapers, letters, and conversations framed their sense of reality, leading them to respond with protests, boycotts, violence, and the creation of new political institutions. Fearing that their enemies were spreading fake news, American colonists fought for control of the news media. As their basic perceptions of reality diverged, Loyalists separated from Patriots and, in the new nation created by the revolution, Republicans inhabited a political reality quite distinct from that of their Federalist rivals. 
     
     
     
    The American Revolution was not only a political contest for liberty, equality, and independence (for white men, at least); it was also a contest to define certain accounts of reality to be truthful while defining others as false and dangerous. Misinformation Nation argues that we must also conceive of the American Revolution as a series of misperceptions, misunderstandings, and uninformed overreactions.

    In late 2019, Dennis Oya's persistent cough was just the beginning of a harrowing tale of neglect and systemic failure in a Washington prison. Diagnosed eighteen months later with tuberculosis (TB), Oya's case sparked one of the largest prison TB outbreaks in decades, affecting over 3,000 contacts. This outbreak, and others like it, exposes the glaring weaknesses in prison healthcare systems. 
     
     
     
    In Outbreak Behind Bars, Homer Venters reveals the grim realities of how communicable diseases thrive in the overcrowded, unsanitary conditions of correctional facilities. From TB to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), these infections spread rapidly due to systemic neglect and inadequate medical responses. The book highlights the stories of those who suffered, the failures in health care provision, and offers specific guidance for public health professionals in conducting investigations and facility inspections during outbreaks behind bars. 
     
     
     
    With firsthand accounts and expert analysis, this book illustrates the urgent need for reform in prison health care to protect incarcerated people and the wider community. Outbreak Behind Bars is a crucial listen for anyone concerned about justice, public health, and the overlooked plight of incarcerated people, especially students, faculty, and professionals in the field of public health.
