  Every Weapon I Had - A Vietnam...

  The story of a Green Beret commander's heroism during the Vietnam War, and the long fight to recognize his bravery.When Col. Paris Davis was selected to lead one of the Green Beret A-teams organizing resistance to Communist incursions into South Vietnam, his commanding officer warned him that some of his soldiers would resent his authority. This was no surprise; there were only a handful of Black officers in the Special Forces. Davis quickly won the respect of his soldiers, and would soon fight beside him as bullets snapped past and mortars exploded overhead.On June 18th, Davis led a group of inexperienced locals and Special Forces soldiers in an attack on a Viet Cong base in Bong Son. They were met by a superior enemy force, and Davis led the charge in a grueling firefight. He was seriously wounded, but he disobeyed a direct order to retreat until he dragged three injured Green Berets off the battlefield to safety.Every Weapon I Had is an inspiring tale of valor and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of major escalations in both the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. It is also a story of deferred honor and delayed recognition; Davis earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his actions, but his nomination for the Congressional Medal of Honor was repeatedly “lost.” No official reason has ever been given for this oversight, but those who fought to correct it believe that it was motivated by racial prejudice. Davis was finally awarded the Medal in 2023, 58 years after the battle.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

How do we not kill the fifth person who tells us "You can always have another baby." 
   
   
   
  With unflinching honesty and fearless humor, psychologist Dr. Sunita Osborn addresses the relevant but often unspoken topics following a miscarriage, including the impact of miscarriage on a relationship, hating pregnant people and all things baby after miscarriage, your relationship with your body after miscarriage, and how to move forward (not past). 
   
   
   
  Informed by her clinical expertise and her own personal experience with miscarriage, The Miscarriage Map offers women, their partners, and loved ones the nitty gritty realities of a miscarriage, the accompanying emotional roller coaster, and specific steps to take to help them get through this loss.

  Idealism - Mind Over Matter in...

  Idealism, as a philosophical doctrine, holds that the mind and its ideas are the primary reality, shaping the material world rather than being shaped by it. This perspective challenges the materialist viewpoint that places physical matter at the foundation of existence. From ancient Greek philosophy to modern quantum theories, idealism has provided a profound framework for understanding reality, perception, and consciousness. 
  Throughout history, idealism has offered a lens through which thinkers could explore the mysteries of existence. Plato’s theory of forms, for instance, posited that the tangible world is a shadow of a higher, more real world of ideas. Similarly, German idealists such as Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel expanded on these concepts, arguing that human perception actively constructs reality. These ideas have not only shaped philosophy but have also influenced disciplines ranging from art to science. 
  At its core, idealism raises fundamental questions about the nature of reality. Is the external world independent of our consciousness, or does it exist only as a construct of the mind? Idealism asserts that our understanding of the universe is intrinsically tied to our subjective experiences, emphasizing that thought and consciousness are the building blocks of reality. This contrasts sharply with materialism, which contends that physical matter exists independently and is the source of all mental phenomena.

  North of America - Loyalists...

  The story of the Thirteen Colonies' struggle for independence from Britain is well known to every American schoolchild. But at the start of the Revolutionary War, there were more than thirteen British colonies in North America. Patriots were surrounded by Indigenous homelands and loyal provinces. Independence had its limits. 
   
   
   
  Upper Canada, Lower Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and especially the homelands that straddled colonial borders, were far less foreign to the men and women who established the United States than Canada is to those who live here now. These northern neighbors were far from inactive during the Revolution. The participation of the loyal British provinces and Indigenous nations that largely rejected the Revolution—as antagonists, opponents, or bystanders—shaped the progress of the conflict and influenced the American nation's early development. 
   
   
   
  In this book, historian Jeffers Lennox looks north, as so many Americans at that time did, and describes how Loyalists and Indigenous leaders frustrated Patriot ambitions, defended their territory, and acted as midwives to the birth of the United States while restricting and redirecting its continental aspirations.

  This groundbreaking study reveals how social connections are far more important than we thought, showing us the steps we can take to build better relationships and improve our lives. 
   
   
   
  Social connection is as essential for our health and happiness as a balanced diet and regular exercise. It reduces our risk of stroke, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. It enhances our creativity and adds years to our life span. Yet many of us struggle to form strong and meaningful bonds—and the problem lies not with our personalities but with a series of cognitive biases that stop us from fulfilling our social potential. 
   
   
   
  In The Laws of Connection, award-winning science writer David Robson describes the psychological barriers that lead us to keep others at a distance and offers evidence-based strategies to overcome them. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, and cutting-edge psychology, Robson introduces listeners to new concepts such as the liking gap, the novelty penalty, the fast-friendship procedure, the beautiful mess effect, and the Japanese art of amae. Whether we are shy or confident, introvert or extrovert, we can all build deeper relationships. The Laws of Connection shows us how.
