  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War, marveling at the size of the battles, the leadership of the generals, and the courage of the soldiers. Since the war's start over 150 years ago, the battles have been subjected to endless debate among historians and the generals themselves. The Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, and had the two sides realized it would take 4 years and inflict over a million casualties, it might not have been fought. Since it did, however, historians and history buffs alike have been studying and analyzing the biggest battles ever since. 
  By the close of 1864, Abraham Lincoln had been reelected, the Union army had taken Nashville from General Hood, and Sherman had concluded his total war, “slash-and-burn” march of destruction to Savannah, Georgia, offering it as a Christmas present to Lincoln. Nevertheless, with everything seemingly falling to pieces, the South still held out hope of some sort of miracle, and Davis even attempted to send a peace delegation to meet with Lincoln in the early months of 1865. To most observers, the South was clearly reaching its end, but Davis had no intention of quitting the war. Even while he was fleeing, he attempted to order Confederate generals in the field to keep fighting. On April 9, 1865, Lee formally surrendered his weary army to Grant at Appomattox. Appomattox is frequently cited as the end of the Civil War, but there still remained several Confederate armies across the country, mostly under the command of General Joseph E. Johnston, the same commander who arrived with reinforcements by rail during the First Battle of Bull Run and gave the South hope with victory in the first major battle. 
  On April 26, 1865, Johnston defied Davis’s orders and surrendered all of his forces to General Sherman, and over the next month, the remaining Confederate forces would surrender or quit.

  News and Democratic Citizens in...

  Though people frequently use mobile technologies for news consumption, evidence from several fields shows that smaller screens and slower connection speeds pose major limitations for meaningful reading. In News and Democratic Citizens in the Mobile Era, Johanna Dunaway and Kathleen Searles demonstrate the effects of mobile devices on news attention, engagement, and recall, and identify a key cognitive mechanism underlying these effects: cognitive effort. They advance a theory that is both old and new: the costs of information-seeking curb participatory behaviors unless the benefits outweigh them. For news consumers in the mobile era, for example, mobile devices increase the time, economic, and cognitive costs associated with information-seeking. Only for a small few do the benefits of attending to the news on mobile devices outweigh the costs. 
   
   
   
  Dunaway and Searles argue that attention, engagement, and recall suffer when people consume news on mobile devices. They then investigate the implications of these effects for the news industry and for an informed democratic citizenry. Drawing on both laboratory and real-world studies, Dunaway and Searles bring the psychophysiology of news consumption to bear on the question of what we could lose in an information environment characterized by a dramatic shift in reliance on mobile devices.

  From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
  trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
  triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
  today. 
  Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
  allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
  heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
  their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
  country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
  and their families.  
  From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
  California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
  gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
  Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
  us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
  of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
  communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
  grow up trans today. 
  “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
  trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
  potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir
