Summary

In "With Perry on Lake Erie: A Tale of 1812," James Otis crafts a vivid historical narrative that immerses readers in the pivotal moments of the War of 1812. Through a compelling blend of fact and fiction, Otis presents the experiences of naval officer Oliver Hazard Perry and his crew as they confront the challenges and battles that shaped the maritime conflict. The literary style is accessible yet rich, employing descriptive language that evokes the tension of naval warfare and the camaraderie of those involved. Set against the backdrop of early American history, Otis intricately weaves themes of bravery, loyalty, and national identity within a context that highlights the significance of Lake Erie in American maritime success. James Otis, a noted author and historian of early American life, was influenced by his deep-seated interest in American history and the navy's role in shaping the nation. His extensive research and passion for narrative storytelling inform the authenticity of the characters and events depicted in the book, allowing readers to engage with a critical period in U.S. history while fostering a connection to those who valiantly fought. I recommend "With Perry on Lake Erie" for readers of all ages who seek an engaging account of our nation's maritime past. This book not only serves as a riveting historical account but also as an inspiring reminder of the sacrifices made for liberty and the enduring spirit of those who serve.

    Telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and telekinesis: these attributes of the paranormal mind are widely dismissed as nonsense, but what can an exploration of such pseudoscientific phenomena tell us about accepted scientific and cultural thought? In Parascientific Revolutions, Derek Lee traces the evolution of psi epistemologies across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries to uncover how these ideas have migrated into scientific fields such as quantum physics and neurology, as well as diverse literary genres, including science fiction, ethnic literature, and even government training manuals. 
 
Lee introduces the groundbreaking concept of "parascience," a dynamic cultural space where ideas rejected by the scientific establishment blend with alternative strains of literary, mythic, and philosophical thought to regenerate and return to mainstream discourse. From early modernist works by James Joyce to postwar speculative fiction by Philip K. Dick to ethnofuturist narratives by Ruth Ozeki, Parascientific Revolutions demonstrates how cultural and intellectual currents reshape paranormal ideas over time. Examining psychic surveillance programs like Project Stargate and bizarre particles of extrasensory perception such as the psitron, Lee illustrates the ways paranormal concepts persist and evolve to influence culture.

    A former officer grapples with the reality of our broken police culture 
 
 
 
Our society has long been stuck in cultural and ideological battles about police brutality and the police force's broken relationship with our communities. Rethinking the Police promises to start a more hopeful conversation. 
 
 
 
Daniel Reinhardt spent twenty-four years as a police officer near Cleveland, Ohio. He was long unaware of the ways the culture of the police department was shaping him, but gradually, through his own experiences as a police officer and through the mentorship of Black Christians in his life, his eyes were opened to a difficult truth: police brutality against racial minorities was endemic to the culture of the system itself. 
 
 
 
In Rethinking the Police, Reinhardt lays out a history of policing in the United States, showing how it developed a culture of dehumanization, systemic racism, and brutality. But Reinhardt doesn't stop there: he offers a new model of policing based not in dominance and control but in a culture of servant leadership, with concrete suggestions for procedural justice and community policing.

    This book contains these three titles: 
  - Capitalism and Inequality: Capitalism, as an economic system, is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. In capitalist societies, market forces—supply and demand—determine the distribution of resources and wealth. This system is characterized by competition, limited government intervention, and the pursuit of profit. Over time, capitalism has evolved in response to global events, technological advancements, and changes in social and political structures. However, a fundamental aspect of capitalism that persists is the inherent inequality it creates. 
  - Economic Impacts of Imperialism: Imperialism, as a driving force in global history, established the foundation for much of the modern world's economic and political systems. The roots of imperialism stretch back to ancient civilizations, where conquest and control of territories provided the resources and labor necessary for expansion and prosperity. Over time, the concept evolved, shaped by cultural ambitions, geopolitical competition, and economic incentives. By the late 15th century, the age of exploration began a new phase of empire building, marked by the European powers seeking wealth and influence beyond their borders. 
  - Global Capitalism: The roots of global capitalism can be traced to the rise of industrial capitalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, which laid the foundation for an interconnected global economy. With the expansion of imperialism, the development of transportation technologies like steamships and railways, and the establishment of international financial institutions, economic activity increasingly transcended national boundaries.

    Over the course of more than twenty years, James D. Richardson and his wife, Lori, retraced the steps of his ancestor, George Richardson (1824–1911), across nine states, uncovering letters, diaries, and more memoirs hidden away. Their journey brought them to the brink of the racial divide in America, revealing how his great-great-grandfather Richardson played a role in the Underground Railroad, served as a chaplain to a Black Union regiment in the Civil War, and founded a college in Texas for the formerly enslaved. 
 
 
 
In narrating this compelling life, The Abolitionist's Journal explores the weight of the past as well as the pull of one's ancestral history. The author raises questions about why this fervent commitment to the emancipation of African Americans was nearly forgotten by his family, exploring the racial attitudes in the author's upbringing and the ingrained racism that still plagues our nation today. 
 
 
 
As America confronts a generational reckoning on race, these important perspectives add a layer to our larger national story.
