    Essays: First Series Intellect

    Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Intellect is not a possession but a force—fluid, expansive, untamed. It cannot be hoarded, nor can it be caged within doctrine or tradition. In Intellect, Ralph Waldo Emerson urges us to see thought as a living current, not a stagnant pool. True understanding, he suggests, is not about collecting knowledge but about breaking through to deeper insight, where intuition leads and logic follows.
    Emerson's vision of the mind defies confinement. He challenges the idea that intelligence is something fixed, something to be measured or owned. Instead, he sees it as a ceaseless motion, a self-renewing energy that thrives on boldness and independence. To think freely is to embrace the unknown, to risk uncertainty in pursuit of wisdom.
    Part of Essays: First Series, Intellect is a call to let go of borrowed opinions and trust the mind's own unfolding. It is not a guidebook, not a doctrine—it is an invitation to intellectual courage. To read it is to reconsider not only what we think but how we think.

    Not even old enough to drink, Corporal Savannah Cannon is a young enlisted United States Marine deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in 2010. As a tactical data networking specialist, she is sent away from everyone she knows and attached to a Regimental Combat Team where women are not allowed to repair communications. Her experiences over the next few months shed light on the unique and difficult positions women are placed in when supporting combat roles, while offering a raw look at the painful choices women must sometimes make. 
     
     
     
    Cannon finds herself in a combat zone, ostracized from family, friends, and even her fellow Marines as the men are told to avoid her. The connections she makes are born from trauma and desperation and the choices she makes will echo throughout many lives. 
     
     
     
    Corporal Cannon is not the story of a heroine; it is the hard-hitting account of just one of the flawed individuals who make up the United States' fighting forces. Mistakes in the battlefield can have dire consequences, personally and professionally. Reflecting on her time in service, the author weaves a story of past and present, and the healing that can come with admitting our mistakes and moving past them.

    Katapult is a fast-moving, cautionary tale about Kat, the daughter of a wealthy Canadian businessman whose involvement in the Iran Contra Affair shapes her life in ways she can’t escape. By the time she’s thirty-five, she’s lived nine different lives, taken five names, and seen the darkest sides of humanity. Her story spans the highs of wealth, the dangers of arms deals, and the complex world of being an escort. Along the way, she struggles with addiction, abuse, love, and loss. In the end, she turns to Orthodox Judaism, searching for meaning in a life defined by chaos. 
    Through it all, Kat’s resilience and determination to survive paint a portrait of a woman who refuses to let life's harshest lessons define her. Lucky to be alive, this is her raw, unflinching story—a cautionary tale about the cost of recklessness, the search for meaning, and the struggle to find oneself. 
    Once you start, you can't stop reading, so clear your schedule before opening! The plot propels forward at high speed, while the voices of different characters flesh out the complexities underlying this story of a life far off the beaten path. Tamara Williamson does it again! Patty Ewaschuck
