Summary

Crafted with the threads of historical encounters and the rich tapestry of the American frontier, 'The Log School-House on the Columbia' by Hezekiah Butterworth delves into the intersection of cultures amid the settlement of the American West. By interlacing factual pioneering narratives with the fibers of fiction, Butterworth constructs a nuanced tableau that captures the spirit and challenges of an era. The prose beckons with the poise of historical authenticity, fused with creative invention, while intricately rendering the lives of its characters, particularly Gretchen, the German orphan, her caretaker Mrs. Woods, and the visionary schoolmaster Marlowe Mann, who serves as a bridging figure between European settlers and Native American communities.

Hezekiah Butterworth, esteemed for his contributions to American literary heritage, was evidently inspired by the tales of early pioneers he interviewed, whose firsthand accounts of life in the Rockies and along the Columbia River breathe authenticity into his work. Butterworth's illustrious career as a storyteller is evidenced in his ability to weave social commentary into a rich historical context, showcasing an insightful understanding of the educational and missionary ambitions that defined the settlement era and were central to the formation of the American ethos.

This novel is a resonant recommendation for readers with an appetite for historical fiction that serves both to enlighten and entertain. 'The Log School-House on the Columbia' offers a poignant exploration of the cultural milieu of the American Settler era, enlightening the modern reader through its deliberate juxtaposition of differing worldviews. Scholars and enthusiasts of historical narratives will find Butterworth's work a compelling addition to the American literary canon, offering a window into the past that is as educational as it is enthralling.

    Written by one of the country's leading experts on Heart Failure, this completely new book provides a personalized approach, information and advice, guiding you and your family towards getting optimal heart failure care. Heart failure still affects over 6 million Americans, fill our hospitals and consumes enormous healthcare resources in the US and worldwide. Much of the impact of heart failure is lack of process and coordination of care with patients firmly inserted as team members. 
    Dr. Silver says, "Strategic Heart Failure is a distillation of how my team and I helped patients and improved their outcomes for almost 4 decades. I want to share this approach directly with patients; they can help lead their healthcare, understand how decisions are made and improve the entire process of heart failure care." 
    Understanding of a few fundamentals of heart failure care, especially the metrics and language that guideline directed care is crafted from, patients and families can not only join their care team but become the CEO! This Strategic approach moves people with heart failure from patients to partners within a caring, coordinated and engaged teams. 
    Four prior editions of his books, Success with Heart Failure, elevated the understanding of the heart failure syndrome among thousands worldwide. His motivation for Strategic Heart Failure was his realization that his work on clinical trials, research, training other men and women professionals, serving on national guideline committees, being an Editor- in-Chief of a heart failure journal and even being one of the first Board Certified Fellows in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant was not enough. Even having one of the finest and most dedicated teams was not enough. It is critical for: 
    The patient to be involved 
    The patient to be the team leader 
    The patient to speak the "Heart Failure" language and understand the rationale and process for every life impacting decision. 
    Included is: 
    Where to start even before deciding on drugs and devices? 
    Who should be on your team? 
    What is the Patient Profile and why it is essential for all team members to use? 
    What are the various classifications of heart failure and why it matters? 
    What does HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmEF mean and why does it matter? 
    Why the majority of patients with or at risk for heart failure may not know of their risk? 
    How to use published heart failure guidelines? 
    What other chronic diseases commonly overlap with heart failure? 
    What are biomarkers and how should they be used? 
    And much, much more...including information on COVID-19, SGLT2 inhibiting drugs, lifesaving medicines including ARNIs, and technologies you may not be aware of such as blood volume analysis.  
    And the truth is that Strategic Heart Failure is an approach that is of value to anyone with heart failure but also can be applied to any other chronic disease. So, let's get Strategic!

    The author of Doing Mathematics explores the concepts of physics by demonstrating how physicists think and approach their work. 
     
    Doing Physics makes concepts of physics easier to grasp by relating them to everyday knowledge. Addressing some of the models and metaphors that physicists use to explain the physical world, Martin H. Krieger describes the conceptual world of physics by means of analogies to economics, anthropology, theater, carpentry, mechanical systems, and machine tool design. 
     
    Krieger explains the interaction of elementary particles by referring to the theory of kinship: who can marry whom is similar to what can interact with what. Likewise, the description of physical situations in terms of interdependent particles and fields is analogous to the design of a factory with its division of labor among specialists. For this new edition, Krieger has revised the text and added a chapter on the role of mathematics and formal models in physics. 
     
    “Krieger . . . excellently tells those in our human society outside the physics world how physicists think, plan, and go about understanding nature.” —Choice

    Treatise on Light was published in 1690 and is probably the largest scientific volume on light published before Newton's Opticks. The book explains how light travels (i.e., that it has a certain velocity), and what happens when it hits a surface (refraction and reflection). A large portion of the book is devoted to the double refraction occurring in Iceland chrystal, and all drawn conclusions are proved geometrically. Christiaan Huygens (1629 - 1695) was a prominent physicist and astronomer. His main discoveries are the centrifugal force, collision laws for bodies and the argument that light consists of waves. He was a contemporary of Galilei and Descartes, and a member of the French Royal Society since 1663. (Summary by Availle)

    John Colvin's career as one of Her Majesty's Representatives in Foreign Parts never scaled the greatest heights of the ambassadorial ladder, but it did lead to two unusual postings, which he describes in this book. In 1966 he was sent to Hanoi at a time when the Vietnam War began to assume its full rigour, and his verdict on the American involvement, contrary to the widely-held view, is that they did not leave Indo-China without credit or achievement. His next posting was as Ambassador to the People's Republic of Mongolia. His memories of that remote but lovely country, which dwell as much upon topographical as political aspects, provide an insight into life in what was then a Russian satellite state, far removed from the centre of world affairs.
