Summary

In 'Lee's Last Campaign,' J. C. Gorman delves into the heart-rending chronicle of the United States during one of its most tumultuous times, the Civil War. Focusing on the Appomattox Campaign, Gorman offers an in-depth exploration of General Robert Edward Lee's final military maneuvers as the leader of the Army of Northern Virginia. Through a magnifying glass on this pivotal moment, the book traverses the line between vast historic documentation and a vivid narrative, weaving an intricate tale that encapsulates strategic warfare, human valor, and the intricate ballet of military tactics. The literary style balances rigorous historical accuracy with compelling storytelling, situating it within the broader literary context of war histories and biographical examinations of key military figures.

J. C. Gorman's body of work often reflects a fascination with military history and a profound understanding of the strategic complexities of war. With 'Lee's Last Campaign,' Gorman harnesses this expertise to dissect Lee's maneuvers and the Confederate ethos with scholarly precision. It's possible that Gorman's own background—perhaps an academic tenure in historical studies or a personal connection to Civil War insights—has informed this narrative, providing the rich, nuanced perspective that characterizes the book.

Ideal for history aficionados and scholars alike, 'Lee's Last Campaign' stands out as a seminal work that invites readers to grapple with the nuances of Civil War leadership and strategy. Gorman's masterful narrative offers an enriching read for those eager to understand the complexities of Confederate tactics under General Lee, and the book serves as a crucial resource for comprehending the broader implications of the Appomattox Campaign within the fabric of American history.

    In the fertile valleys along the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers, where mist clings to rugged mountains and flows through ancient bamboo forests, the foundations of one of humanity's most enduring civilizations were laid thousands of years ago. "Early Chinese Dynasties: The Dawn of Chinese Civilization" invites readers on a captivating journey through three formative dynasties that shaped the cultural, political, and philosophical landscape of China for millennia to come. 
The semi-legendary Xia Dynasty emerges from the shadows of prehistory as China's first hereditary state, traditionally dated to the third millennium BCE. While archaeological evidence remains elusive, the stories of Yu the Great taming floods and establishing systems of governance provided the foundational mythology for Chinese civilization. Here, we explore both the historical debates surrounding the Xia and the archaeological discoveries at sites like Erlitou that may represent this elusive first dynasty. 
With the Shang Dynasty, we step onto firmer historical ground. From their capital cities at Zhengzhou and later Anyang, Shang kings presided over a sophisticated bronze-working civilization that developed China's earliest known writing system. The oracle bones—animal scapulae and turtle shells inscribed with divination records—offer unprecedented insights into the religious practices, military campaigns, and royal genealogies of this brilliant Bronze Age society. The magnificent ritual bronze vessels they created, with their intricate designs and ceremonial significance, remain among humanity's greatest artistic achievements. 
The Zhou Dynasty—China's longest-lasting royal house—would build upon these foundations while introducing revolutionary concepts that would define Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

  • Success Without School - Unschooling my Children from Birth to College - cover

    Success Without School -...

    Consequences of the ongoing pandemic have seriously affected educational systems in the U.S. and around the world. School closures and the opportunities or nightmares of remote learning have caused many parents to reconsider options for schooling their children. Alternatives to conventional school are currently hot topics, strongly motivated by growing racism and the social bullying that confront many youngsters and teens in todays school environment. (New Yorker Magazine, June 21, 2021, "The Rise of Black Homeschooling") 
Jean Nunnally's memoir of her trials and triumphs in unschooling her two children from birth to college provides an enlightening insight into the innate learning ability of humans, showing how self-esteem, trust and personal responsibility were preserved and strengthened for herself and her kids. "Unschooling" the author says, "is the way we have learned throughout time and the way adults learn when they are free to pursue their interests." Her book gives an overview of unschooling or self-directed learning, but so much more. Jean not only did the work, but her son and daughter are proof that unschooling works. They were each accepted in and graduated from prestigious U.S. colleges and testify, in personal reflections at the end of the narrative, to the happiness and fulfillment of their elementary and high school years following their passions, their hobbies, their music, their dreams, often in stark contrast to the struggles with traditional forms their peers were required to submit to. 
Success Without School addresses myths and misperceptions of unschoolers. She explains how her view of school changed, and changed her, as she proceeded to unschool her children. She leaves the reader with an encouraging description of the three jobs of an unschooling parent: exposure, facilitation, and modeling; and offers her unique approach to preparing an unschooled teen for college, and the specific challenges that required.

    People who are difficult to deal with can be encountered in any sphere of life, and it can be challenging to navigate personal and professional settings in which they are present. They frequently engage in conduct that is aggravating, insulting, and, at times, even painful to others. The phrase "difficult people" refers to people who display a variety of problematic behaviors that make it difficult for others to communicate effectively, work collaboratively, and develop healthy connections. 
Difficult behavior can manifest itself in a wide variety of ways, and its roots can lie in a wide variety of underlying problems. Some people may exhibit aggressive conduct, while other people may engage in passive-aggressive or manipulative behavior instead. It's possible that some are merely impolite or dismissive. No matter how it manifests itself, challenging behavior has the potential to aggravate and strain personal as well as professional relationships, in addition to having a negative impact on both mental health and physical well-being.
