Synopsis

In "How Private George W. Peck Put Down the Rebellion or, The Funny Experiences of a Raw Recruit," Peck offers a captivating blend of humor and military narrative, reflecting on his experiences as an inexperienced recruit during the American Civil War. This semi-autobiographical work is characterized by its lively prose and comical anecdotes, providing both entertainment and insight into the absurdities of war. It serves as a unique literary artifact that captures the zeitgeist of the post-war period, employing satire to offset the grim realities faced by soldiers, demonstrating how comedy can emerge even in the bleakest circumstances. George W. Peck, a journalist and humorist, utilized his personal experiences to craft this engaging narrative, drawing from his service in the Wisconsin Volunteers. His career in the press and affinity for humor influenced his storytelling technique, allowing him to inject levity into a subject often steeped in sorrow. Peck's background in theater and journalism also enriched his narrative style, facilitating a presentation that resonates with both soldiers' camaraderie and the chaos of battle. Readers looking for a light-hearted yet poignant examination of military life during the Civil War will find Peck's work to be both enlightening and entertaining. This book is highly recommended for those interested in military history, humor literature, and personal narratives that reveal deeper truths through laughter, offering a fresh perspective on war's experience.

    "SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE": 10-MINUTE...

    In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
     Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
     The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

    The Women, but Stronger reimagines the story of war, courage, and memory from the voices history silenced. It’s not a retelling of battles, but of what comes after — the quiet labor of survival, the invisible architecture of care, and the unacknowledged strength that rebuilt the world. With lyrical prose and sociological depth, it explores how the myths of heroism have erased the emotional truth of endurance, and how women have always carried civilization through its darkest hours. A powerful, contemplative book about resilience, silence, and the radical act of compassion in a world that glorifies conquest.

    This book is the first comprehensive overview of Javanese performing arts from their origins to their dynamic present. Renowned scholar and musician Sumarsam draws from a lifetime of immersion in both wayang and gamelan to guide readers through the concept of the "in-between," revealing how the interplay of dualisms—myth and history, sacred and secular, personal and cultural—forms the bedrock of Javanese performance. Rigorously researched historical case studies reveal the intricate relationship between histories and mythologies in Java. Wayang, accompanied by gamelan, is a multimedia performance imbued with rich historical, aesthetic, religious, and emotional associations. Sumarsam delves into this intricate, profound, and ever-evolving art form, exploring its diverse manifestations and venues, from courtly village entertainment-cum-ritual to palace-based aesthetic expressions of cultural proficiency; from coastal mercantile entrepots to the verdant wet rice terraces of Java; from colonial plantation and textile factory cultures to communities centered around contemporary industrial estates and creative economy initiatives. An essential resource for scholars, musicians, and enthusiasts of wayang and gamelan, The In-Between in Javanese Performing Arts offers an unparalleled immersion into the heart of traditional Javanese performing arts, revealing their profound impact on Javanese culture, identity, and artistic expression.
