In "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer," Gilbert Moxley Sorrel offers a poignant and dynamic recounting of his experiences during the American Civil War. Written with a blend of personal reflection and historical analysis, Sorrel's narrative captures the trials and tribulations of a Confederate officer serving under the renowned General James Longstreet. The memoir is marked by a vivid literary style that combines narrative prose with rich imagery, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the complexities of war, loyalty, and leadership amid the pervasive chaos of battle. Sorrel's account is not just a soldier's tale; it is a poignant exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by commanders and soldiers alike, set against the backdrop of a fractured nation grappling with its identity. Gilbert Moxley Sorrel, born in 1838 in Georgia, was deeply influenced by the cultural milieu of the South and his family's military legacy. His insights as a staff officer stem from years spent navigating the intricacies of military life and the relationships forged in the crucible of conflict.

Readers interested in military history or the personal stories that shaped the American Civil War will find "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer" to be an indispensable resource. Sorrel not only illuminates the ethos of the Confederate cause but also delves into the broader themes of honor, sacrifice, and the brutal realities of war. This memoir stands as a testament to the human spirit, making it a compelling read for scholars and general audiences alike.

    “Pandemics Through Time: The History That Shaped Humanity” is a clear, human story of how diseases and people have shaped each other—from the first crowded cities to the age of jet travel and beyond. Blending vivid history with plain explanations of science, it shows how outbreaks begin, how they spread, how societies respond, and how each crisis leaves behind new tools, new ideas, and new responsibilities. 
    The journey starts in the ancient world, where the Plague of Athens revealed how war and crowding turn illness into disaster, and moves through the Justinianic Plague, where rats, fleas, grain ships, and empire combined to send buboes and fear across continents. It then meets the Black Death, the great turning point that reordered labor, faith, and power in Europe, and taught hard lessons about quarantine, care, and the costs of blame. 
    Crossing oceans, the book shows how smallpox and measles traveled with conquest during the Columbian Exchange, and how Indigenous and African knowledge, along with early variolation and vaccination, began a long fight back. In the nineteenth century, cholera raced through booming cities and forced a revolution in sewers, water, and the birth of epidemiology—John Snow’s map, Joseph Bazalgette’s pipelines, and the first international health rules. Tuberculosis then becomes the mirror of the Industrial Age, revealing how housing, wages, sunlight, and stigma shape a “social disease,” and how sanatoria, X‑rays, and later antibiotics changed fate without erasing inequality.

    This text looks at the people, ideas and events between the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the Second Reform Act of 1867. From "John Arthur Roebuck and the Crimean War", and "Samuel Smiles and the Gospel of Work" to "Thomas Hughes and the Public Schools" and "Benjanmin Disraeli and the Leap in the Dark", Asa Briggs provides an assessment of Victorian achievements; and in doing so conjures up an enviable picture of the progress and independence of the last century. "For expounding this theme, this interaction of event and personality, Mr. Briggs is abundantly and happily endowed. He is always readable, often amusing, never facetious. He is widely read and widely interested. He has a sound historic judgment, and an unfailing sense for what is significant in the historic sequence and what is merely topical. . . . Above all, he is in sympathy with the age of which he is writing."—Times Literary Supplement

    Once pitted as adversarial counterparts as the opinion editors of Detroit's right- and left-leaning newspapers, veteran journalists Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson join forces in this groundbreaking work to champion a novel approach to political discourse. Finley, a resolute conservative, and Henderson, a committed progressive, defy expectations by demonstrating that civil conversation is not only possible but also richly rewarding, even across colossal ideological divides. 
     
     
     
    In 2020, they launched the Civility Project with journalist and author Lynne Golodner, beginning their journey to teach Americans how to engage in respectful dialogue and maintain relationships despite political differences. The Civility Book is an extension of that mission, offering practical tools and strategies for fostering civility in everyday interactions. At the core of this work, the authors position their four pillars of civility to explain what civility is, why it matters, and how individuals can use it to overcome the antagonistic rhetoric that threatens our society today, one conversation at a time. This conversational, no-nonsense guide provides valuable lessons, a detailed curriculum, probing questions for consideration, and an extensive appendix of resources outlining ongoing efforts to curb unproductive contention and advance a more harmonious society.
