Summary

In "Defenseless America," Hudson Maxim presents a provocative and prescient examination of the vulnerabilities that America faces in a changing world. Written during the early 20th century and characterized by its incisive rhetoric and logical reasoning, the book delves deep into military preparedness and national security, arguing for the necessity of an advanced defense strategy. Maxim effectively combines a mix of historical analysis and speculative foresight, critiquing complacency in a time of growing international threats while drawing on examples from past conflicts to underscore his assertions. Hudson Maxim, a prominent American inventor and a passionate advocate for military reform, brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to this work. His background as an artillery expert and his involvement in munitions development lend authority to his arguments, as he implores his nation to be vigilant in the face of external aggressions. This work is informed by the tumultuous context of World War I, during which America grappled with its position and responsibilities on the world stage. "Defenseless America" is a must-read for those interested in military history, national security, and the evolution of American defense policy. Maxim's compelling arguments challenge readers to consider the implications of national vulnerability and the moral imperative of preparedness, making it a timeless call to action for citizens and policymakers alike.

What starts as loving, compassionate care becomes an isolating, stressful, never-ending race to get everything done. Inevitably, anger and resentment creep in—toward the person being cared for as well as other family members who don't pitch in . . . or both. So guilt and shame for not feeling loving all the time gets added to the emotional mix. 
 
 
 
Worst of all, most caregivers have no support system, and no plan for ensuring that they're taking good care of themselves first so they can keep going without falling apart. Is there any hope for a better life? 
 
 
 
Yes! In Take Back your Life: A Caregiver's Guide to Finding Freedom in the Midst of Overwhelm, psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, and experienced family caregiver Loren Gelberg-Goff shows you exactly how to get back to having a life, feel that loving connection you thought was gone, stop arguing and get cooperation from your siblings and others, and discover other resources you can call upon to guarantee that much-needed "you time."

    The United States is in a state of decline—a reality decades in the making. At the thin end of the wedge sits Appalachia, one of the nation's most deprived regions, mythologized by outsiders and misunderstood the world over. 
 
Embedded as a therapist within this community, Rayelle Davis frames the addiction, suicide, and "diseases of despair" that plague the region as a consequence of cultural trauma, exploitation, and systemic neglect. Her work is a searing exploration of generational adversity and a powerful indictment of the psychological abuse of the American Dream. 
 
Davis reveals a profound truth: Appalachian trauma is colonial trauma. As in exploited nations abroad, everything of value—from wealth and health to life itself—is extracted by a distant elite. This courageous book exposes the predatory systems of power and challenges everything we think we know about identity, sovereignty, and the actual cost of inequality in America. 
 
In a time of extreme political polarization, Money in the Mountains is not a requiem for Appalachia, but a manifesto for collective healing.
