  In this fascinating, refreshingly clarifying book about food, food myths, and how sloppy science perpetuates misconceptions about food, a medical doctor on his way to a conference gets drawn into conversations that answer the following questions: Does vitamin C prevent the common cold? And if it works, why does it only work in Canadian soldiers, ultramarathon runners, and skiers? Was red meat really declared a carcinogen by the WHO? Does that mean I should become a vegetarian? And who decides what gets labeled as red meat and white meat? Is salt really not that bad for you and did a group of researchers really want to experiment on prisoners to prove the point? Does coffee cause cancer or heart attacks? Why did a California court say coffee needed a warning label? Is red wine really good for your heart, and what makes the French Paradox such a paradox? Why did the New England Journal of Medicine link eating chocolate with winning a Nobel Prize? Why were eggs once bad for you but now good for you again? Does that mean I don't need to worry about cholesterol? Should I be taking vitamin D?

  Glorious Lessons - John Trumbull...

  The complicated life and legacy of John Trumbull, whose paintings portrayed both the struggle and the principles that distinguished America's founding moment 
   
   
    
  John Trumbull (1756–1843) experienced the American Revolution firsthand—he served as aid to George Washington and Horatio Gates, was shot at, and was jailed as a spy. He made it his mission to record the war, giving visual form to what most citizens of the new United States thought: that they had brought into the world a great and unprecedented political experiment. His purpose, he wrote, was "to preserve and diffuse the memory of the noblest series of actions which have ever presented themselves in the history of man." Although Trumbull's contemporaries viewed him as a painter, Trumbull thought of himself as a historian. 
   
   
    
  Richard Brookhiser tells Trumbull's story of acclaim and recognition, a story complicated by provincialism, war, a messy personal life, and, ultimately, changing fashion. He shows how the artist's fifty-year project embodied the meaning of American exceptionalism and played a key role in defining the values of the new country. Trumbull depicted the story of self-rule in the modern world—a story as important and as contested today as it was 250 years ago.

  Sumerian Gods and Heroes -...

  The mythology of the Sumerians stands as one of the earliest recorded religious traditions, shaping the beliefs of later civilizations in Mesopotamia and beyond. As one of the first urban societies, the Sumerians established a complex pantheon of gods and heroes that explained the forces of nature, human existence, and the divine order of the universe. Their myths, inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform script, offer a glimpse into a world where deities governed every aspect of life, from the rising sun to the floods of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. These stories, rich with symbolism and allegory, not only influenced later cultures but also laid the foundation for many of the myths and legends still told today.  
  Sumerian civilization thrived in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now modern-day Iraq, around 3100 BCE. The Sumerians built city-states such as Uruk, Ur, and Nippur, each with its own patron deity. Religion was deeply intertwined with governance, as rulers were seen as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The belief that divine favor determined a city’s prosperity reinforced the importance of rituals, offerings, and temple constructions, particularly the iconic ziggurats that served as sacred centers of worship. The Sumerian gods were not distant, benevolent figures but rather powerful beings with human emotions and rivalries, shaping the world through both harmony and conflict.  
  The primary sources of Sumerian mythology come from cuneiform texts, including the Enuma Elish, various temple hymns, and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts preserve tales of creation, divine wars, and the struggles of mortal heroes. The myths of Anu, Enlil, and Enki explain the structure of the cosmos and the forces that govern it, while legends of Inanna and Dumuzi reveal the themes of love, fertility, and the cycle of life and death.

  The Republican House Divided -...

  How the Republican Party transformed from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Lee 
   
  The Republican House Divided is the first comprehensive study of the relationships between the Republican Party and Civil War memory in the twentieth century. Tim Galsworthy reveals how rival Republicans deployed Civil War memory to support, oppose, and ultimately shape the GOP's transformation, during the civil rights era, into a racially conservative party. Drawing on extensive archival research, Galsworthy underlines how references to the past were vitally important to Republican Party politicians as they negotiated their party's positions toward African American civil rights and attempted to appeal to erstwhile white Southern Democrats. Paying attention to a range of actors—including national party leaders, southern conservatives, prominent progressives, and defiant Black Republicans—he traces the actions of Republican politicians and operatives from across the party's ideological and geographical spectrums as they struggled to control and direct party messaging, strategy, and policy. The Republican House Divided is a timely work, offering insight into how the "Party of Lincoln" started on the road to becoming the GOP of today.
