Sinopsis

In "American Ideas for English Readers," James Russell Lowell deftly navigates the cultural and intellectual currents of 19th-century America, presenting a compelling discourse intended for an English audience. The book is marked by Lowell's characteristic wit and eloquence, as he explicates the unique paradigms of American thought, from the transcendentalism of Emerson to the political philosophies emerging from the burgeoning nation. His style intertwines erudition with accessibility, making complex ideas palatable for readers across the Atlantic, while fostering a dialogue on the evolving American identity. James Russell Lowell, an esteemed poet, critic, and diplomat, was deeply immersed in the intellectual developments of his time. His experiences—ranging from his New England upbringing to his role as a prominent figure in literary circles—shaped his perspective on the transatlantic exchange of ideas. Lowell's commitment to bridging cultural gaps is evident in this work, as he sought to illuminate the American landscape for a British readership, perhaps reflecting his desire to define America in the eyes of a world still steeped in European traditions. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the interplay of American and British thought, as well as for those who appreciate an astute analysis of cultural identity. Lowell's ability to distill complex ideas into engaging prose offers invaluable insights into the nascent American psyche, making this work a timeless contribution to literary and cultural studies.

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a severe accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence or severe injury.PTSD can occur in all people of any ethnicity, nationality, culture, and age. PTSD affects approximately 3.5 percent of U.S. adults every year. An estimated one in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime. Women are twice as likely as men to have PTSD. People with PTSD have intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to their experience that last long after the traumatic event. They may relive the event through flashbacks or nightmares; they may feel sadness, fear, or anger; and they may feel detached or estranged from other people. People with PTSD may avoid situations or people that remind them of the traumatic event, and they may have strong adverse reactions to something as ordinary as a loud noise or an accidental touch.People with a diagnosis of PTSD are defended and insecure about many things in life. It is essential to create a safe place where people can explore and share their experiences and understand why they are experiencing life as they do to begin the healing process in a therapeutic environment. This book may offer much to promote the healing and growth of those affected by complex trauma.

In 1844, when it was still Oregon Territory, one of the first moonshiners, James Conner, challenged a lawman to a duel for busting his illegal operation.

    America was built by immigrants, yet there has long been strong political opposition to immigration. In recent years, the hostility toward immigration has reached a tipping point. While partisan fighting and confusion over basic policy dominate a broken conversation, we often overlook a fundamental American truth: immigration makes America great. 
     
     
     
    In The Immigrant Superpower, Tim Kane argues that immigration has been a source of American strength and American exceptionalism since the nation's founding. This book explores how immigration is essential to the military strength, economic power, and innovation of the United States. By combining stories of immigrants who have contributed to the American experience, including in the military and business, with analysis of immigration's effects on wages and unemployment, Kane presents a clear defense of greater immigration as a matter of national security. The only way to win the great power competition of the twenty-first century is to embrace America's identity as a nation of immigrants. As politicians in Washington continue to negotiate with no intention to reach an agreement, Kane exposes the immigration consensus hiding in plain sight. Using original, in-depth surveys of American attitudes toward immigration reform he maps out a step-by-step process to achieve reform.
