Sinossi

George Cary Eggleston's "The History of the Confederate War, Its Causes and Its Conduct" (Vol. 1 & 2) provides a nuanced narrative of the American Civil War, offering readers a comprehensive examination of its origins, key events, and the complexities of wartime conduct. Eggleston employs a meticulous chronological structure and vivid descriptive language, engaging readers with detailed accounts that reveal both military strategies and the socio-political underpinnings of the Confederate experience. This work serves not only as a historical record but also as an interpretative analysis that situates the Confederate War within a broader context of American identity and regional conflict. Eggleston, a noted author and historian of the late 19th century, draws on his own Southern heritage and firsthand experiences as a war correspondent. His deep personal investment and critical eye shine through in his investigation of the war's causes and consequences, revealing the complexities faced by a divided nation. Eggleston's dual role as both participant and observer of the events provides a unique lens through which to understand the motivations and ideologies that fueled the Confederate cause. This seminal work is highly recommended for both scholars and general readers alike, serving as an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of the Civil War era. Eggleston's sophisticated analysis and engaging prose make this history accessible and compelling, inviting readers to contemplate the enduring legacy of conflict in American society.

    "Beware of the Narcissist: Mastering the Art of Identifying and Counteracting Narcissism in Relationships and in One Self" uniquely merges two insightful books into one indispensable guide, offering a comprehensive understanding of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) from both an interpersonal and personal standpoint. This two-in-one volume, authored by Michael Wright and Larry Tate, becomes an essential tool for navigating the complexities of narcissism. 
    In the first part of this combined edition, "Narcissism Decoded" by Michael Wright, the focus is on the dynamics of NPD in relationships. Wright offers a detailed exploration of how narcissists' self-centered behavior impacts their partners, providing readers with the knowledge to identify narcissistic traits, understand their origins, and tackle the difficulties that arise in such relationships. The book also shares critical advice on coping strategies, recognizing toxic relationship patterns, and explores available treatments for those involved with narcissists. 
    Complementing this, the second part, "Are You a Narcissist?" by Larry Tate, invites readers to reflect inwardly. It serves as an ultimate guide to self-assessment for narcissistic traits, offering a mirror to those who might be sliding towards narcissistic personality disorder. Tate's insightful analysis covers the repercussions of an inflated self-image on personal relationships, the challenges in professional environments, and the darker aspects of narcissism, including rage and contempt. 
    Together, these books provide a dual perspective on narcissism. "Beware of the Narcissist" is more than a guide; it's a deep dive into understanding and mitigating the impacts of narcissistic behaviors in relationships and within oneself.

    An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
     
    Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
     
    Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.
