Sinopse

Fran√ßois Guizot's "History of France from the Earliest Times (Vol. 1-6)" offers a comprehensive exploration of France's political, social, and cultural evolution from its origins to the 19th century. Employing a narrative style that marries meticulous research with an engaging prose, Guizot provides readers with deep insights into the forces that have shaped French identity. This ambitious work reflects the burgeoning intellectual climate of 19th-century France, where historical inquiry was becoming a vital tool in understanding national character and destiny, thus placing Guizot in conversation with contemporaries like Tocqueville and Michelet. A prominent historian and politician, Guizot's background as a member of the July Monarchy and his active role in political discourse undoubtedly influenced his scholarly pursuits. His tenure as France's Minister of Education and his advocacy for historical education underscore his belief in the necessity of understanding the past to shape a more informed citizenry. His rich, layered interpretations reflect his commitment to studying France'Äôs heritage and his desire to enlighten his contemporaries about the importance of history. I highly recommend Guizot's "History of France from the Earliest Times" to scholars, historians, and casual readers alike. Its intricate narrative and rigorous analysis provide a valuable perspective on the complexities of French history, making it an essential addition to any historical library.

    Miscarriage: It can devastate an individual, a couple, and family to their very core. And yet, this painfully common human experience is so rarely talked about. How do we continue functioning? How do we tell our partner what we need? How do we deal with emotional dumpster fire that is the aftermath of a miscarriage? How do we not kill the fifth person who tells us "You can always have another baby." 
     
     
     
    With unflinching honesty and fearless humor, psychologist Dr. Sunita Osborn addresses the relevant but often unspoken topics following a miscarriage, including the impact of miscarriage on a relationship, hating pregnant people and all things baby after miscarriage, your relationship with your body after miscarriage, and how to move forward (not past). 
     
     
     
    Informed by her clinical expertise and her own personal experience with miscarriage, The Miscarriage Map offers women, their partners, and loved ones the nitty gritty realities of a miscarriage, the accompanying emotional roller coaster, and specific steps to take to help them get through this loss.

    In Warfighter, Colonel Jesse L. Johnson, one of the most decorated living American veterans, recounts the action-packed true-life tale of a man who stood and fought at the crossroads of history. Spanning forty years of conflict, from the jungles of Vietnam to the deserts of Iran and Iraq, never has a modern military memoir covered such a vast landscape of all-out warfare. Never has one man fought on the frontlines of so many of America's most heroic battles. Johnson led the most elite forces on operations that defined eras past and present, mentoring young soldiers who would rise to become some of America's greatest generals. He held the ear of princes, kings, presidents, and even Hollywood movie stars. With an all-star cast worthy of an epic war film, this extraordinary hero's journey sheds new light on some of the most transformative events of our time—crises, conflicts, and covert operations that have shaped the world as we know it today. More important, Warfighter offers us a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifice and human toll of a lifetime at war, and the honor-bound code of a man whose instinct in battle was to always charge ahead of those under his command—into the fight.

    There are many books on the subject of safety, but paper cannot protect you from the next shooter. Stop the Killing can help you transform the way you take control of your safety. This book provides you the keys to take action on what you can do to stop the mass shooting crisis in America. 
    The book is written by the nation’s leading mass shooting expert and creator of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program, Katherine Schweit. Stop The Killing shares an insider look at what we’ve learned and failed to learn about protecting our places of commerce, houses of worship, businesses, and schools. Furthermore, the book demystifies the language around active shooters, mass killings, threat assessment teams, and more. 
    The readers will gain knowledge on the current status of mass shootings in America and be given definitions, statistics, and ultimately, a guide on how to be a part of the solution. Are you ready to become a mini-expert and save lives? Because you can. 
    You will hear sober advice gathered from those who have survived and responded to shootings at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook Elementary School, the Aurora theater, Los Angeles International Airport, and more. 
    Katherine includes a preface exploring the 2021 Oxford High School shooting in Michigan, including the groundbreaking use of a domestic terrorism charge filed against the shooter and involuntary manslaughter charges filed against the shooter’s parents. 
    Do not be a victim of gun violence, be empowered. Replace fear with knowledge and with actions you can take to keep you and your family safe.

    The War of 1812

    This compact history of the War of 1812 attempts to separate myth from reality. Harry Coles narrates the main operations on both land and sea of the three-year struggle. He examines the conflict from the British (and Canadian) as well as the American point of view, relating events in America to the larger war going on in Europe.
     
    “A balanced analysis of tactics and strategy, this book also summarizes succinctly and clearly recent scholarship on causes and describes briefly the war’s military, economic, and political consequences. Coles has surveyed thoroughly the existing literature but arrives at a number of independent judgments. It is the best single-volume account of the war in all its aspects. In recounting sea battles, Coles puts aside the patriotic blinders that have for so long prevented a sensible understanding of American capabilities and strategic necessities; thus American naval victories are put in a proper perspective. And in dealing with land engagements, he has shunned the mocking and amused attitude which has so often passed for historical judgment. Undergraduates will be stimulated by the hints of modern parallels and will find useful the excellent annotated bibliography and simple maps.”—Choice
