Synopsis

The philosopher and author of Beyond Blood Identities offers a new paradigm of persona freedom and moral self-possession. As a Jamaican immigrant arriving in the United States at the age of twenty, Jason Hill noticed how often Americans identified themselves in terms of race and ethnicity. He observed, for example, the reluctance of West Indians to joins 'black causes' for fear of losing their identity. He began to ask himself what sort of world he wanted to live in, a quest that in time led him to the idea of the cosmopolitan.   In Becoming a Cosmopolitan, Jason D. Hill argues that we need a new understanding of the self. He revives the idea of the cosmopolitan, the person who identifies the world as home. Arguing for the right to forget where we came from, Hill proposes a new moral cosmopolitanism for the new millennium.

    A month after her 24th birthday, Lt. Mary Elizabeth Balster collapses among the rubble of a shelled supply room. On the night of November 30, 1944, holed up in the Heinrich Himmler Barracks in Morhange, France, Lt. Balster's evac receives a typical patient load, but this time one of the admissions is a 19-year-old tanker she'd nursed back to health five months before in Normandy. The charge nurse on Surgical gently informs the lieutenant that the private is critical. Rising determined to save him, Balster limps toward the shelled supply room determined to search for any blood plasma bottles still intact. 
     
     
     
    Recaptured from her mother's reminiscences and letters home, N. C. R. Davis takes listeners through every heat-of-battle harrowing moment as Balster lived it, achieving a rare glimpse of one nurse's point of view during the latter part of the European conflict. 
     
     
     
    The book mixes Lt. Balster's observations, memories, and dreams to tell the story of a richly rebellious woman trying to navigate her life while nursing wounded and dying frontline soldiers. Her strong-willed, beguiling personality fosters the grit necessary for her success as a combat nurse, but these same characteristics cause two men to fall in love with her. And the personal cost of war comes to a heartrending conclusion, as she must choose one man over the other.

    A Wall Street Journal–bestseller, Republican Ed Goeas and Democrat Celinda Lake present political strategies to resolve national and civil tensions.A Question of Respect speaks to voters who are tired of a political environment that ends in immovable stalemate, grounded by a political party’s voter base without addressing solutions or attempting to understand the opposing side. With more than thirty years of their joint Battleground Poll exploring the concerns of the American public, Ed and Celinda reveal that only through mutual respect will the nation be able to heal its divisions. “In providing a roadmap to respect and bipartisanship, liberal Lake and conservative Goeas offer up a very personal lesson for all of us on the final page. In acknowledging how their politically divided relationship changed over the two-year writing project, they basically said that time and listening were the best medicine. . . . Theirs is not only a cure for what ails Washington, but maybe the slave to our divided nation, packed in a powerful and concise read. Bravo.” —Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets columnist for the Washington Examiner“A very good book by very good people about a very good country in very bad times. I could not put it down. Get copies for everyone you know, especially those with whom you’ve stopped communicating.” —Mary Matalin, American political consultant “Ed and Celinda, two experienced veterans of political combat, have written a thoughtful examination of where the problems lie, and what we can do about them. It’s not a solution, that’s up to us, but it’s an invaluable roadmap that each of us should carry.” —General Stan McChrystal (Ret.)

The good news is that there is hope. More and more, research shows the tremendous benefit of psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and ketamine for people suffering from difficult-to-treat mental health issues. But how do you integrate them into your life effectively?

    With this step-by-step guide, you will: learn how to choose the right setting and set intentions for a positive experience; explore evidence-based practices to ensure healing and growth; and empower yourself to navigate the psychedelic landscape with confidence and mindfulness. This workbook provides the tools you need to explore the benefits of psychedelics for profound transformation, healing, and self-discovery.
