Sinossi

In "Byron," John Nichol presents a compelling examination of the life and works of the enigmatic Romantic poet Lord Byron. The book meticulously explores Byron's complex character, delving into his tumultuous relationships, public persona, and profound influences on the literary landscape of the early 19th century. Nichol's style combines biographical narrative with critical analysis, engaging readers with rich descriptions and insightful commentary that contextualizes Byron within the broader currents of Romanticism, thereby illuminating the psychological and social underpinnings of his poetry. Nichol, an accomplished biographer and scholar renowned for his deep understanding of Romantic literature, draws on extensive research and critical scholarship to portray Byron's influence on literary circles and beyond. His keen interest in Byron's multifaceted identity—marked by both brilliance and controversy—reflects Nichol's own fascination with the interplay of art, politics, and personal experience. This background informs his nuanced portrayal of Byron as not just a poet, but a cultural icon grappling with the era's moral complexities. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of poetry, personality, and history. Nichol's insightful analysis and engaging prose invite readers to experience the brilliance and turbulence of Byron's world. Whether you are a student of Romantic literature, a poetry enthusiast, or simply curious about one of history's most scandalous figures, "Byron" offers a profound exploration that will resonate long after the final page.

    Disequilibria: Meditations on Missingness is a hybrid memoir that recounts the 1982 disappearance of the author's stepfather, James Edward Lewis, a pilot and Vietnam veteran. Recounting his family's experiences in searching for answers, Lunday interrogates the broader cultural and conceptual responses to the phenomenon of missingness by connecting his stepfather's case to other true-life disappearances as well as those portrayed in fiction, poetry, and film. In doing so Disequilibria explores the transience in modern life, considering the military-dependent experience, the corrosive effects of war, and the struggle to find closure and comfort as time goes by without answers.

    A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
     
     
     
    Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.

    When Gregory M. Cooper, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, he had high expectations, but couldn't anticipate the level of response. What started with just a half-dozen or so retired FBI agents and homicide detectives has ballooned to more than 150 women and men who volunteer their time to help families of deceased or missing loved ones bring closure to cases that have gone "cold." 
     
     
     
    The Cold Case Foundation shares riveting and rewarding cases the Foundation has helped solve, from high-profile missing persons cases to decades-old murders. The Cold Case Foundation has contributed to the solving of dozens of cases and is helping hundreds more homicide and missing persons investigations move forward. Police departments and victims' families from throughout the country have been supported by the Foundation's services, which are more than welcome for investigators that are increasingly finding themselves with fewer resources to dedicate to the most difficult cases. 
     
     
     
    The Cold Case Foundation covers not only the investigative approaches the Foundation's investigators employ and recommend, but also the principles and activities that help communities and law enforcement agencies come together to help solve cases that, for whatever reason, have gone unsolved—until now.
