Sinopsis

Justin Harvey Smith's "The War with Mexico" (Vol. 1 & 2) offers an exhaustive examination of the pivotal conflict between the United States and Mexico during the mid-19th century. Written in a narrative style that combines meticulous research with engaging prose, Smith captures the political, social, and military dimensions of the war, while situating it within the broader context of Manifest Destiny and U.S. expansionism. The two volumes delve into key battles, military strategies, and the ramifications for both countries, providing a nuanced understanding of this often contentious episode in American history. Justin Harvey Smith, an accomplished historian and educator, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous context of his own era, marked by debates over imperialism and national identity. His scholarship reflects a commitment to highlighting lesser-known perspectives of the conflict, including the voices of soldiers and civilians affected by the war. Smith's extensive background in history sharpens his analyses, making his work a critical resource in understanding the complexities of American-Mexican relations. Recommended for historians and casual readers alike, "The War with Mexico" serves as a foundational text for understanding the consequences of military conflict and territorial expansion. Smith's thorough documentation and insightful commentary make this work essential for anyone interested in the intricacies of American history, as well as the societal shifts stemming from this monumental war.

    In "Beyond Order" by Jordan B. Peterson, the acclaimed clinical psychologist and professor follows up on the success of his previous book, "12 Rules for Life," by presenting an additional 12 principles aimed at helping readers navigate the complexities of life. Peterson addresses the growing tendency of the human will to exert control over every aspect of existence, warning against the dangers of excessive security. He offers strategies to counteract cultural, scientific, and psychological forces pushing society toward tyranny. Instead, he encourages readers to tap into their instinctual capacity to find meaning and purpose, particularly in moments of powerlessness. 
    While an overabundance of chaos can lead to instability and anxiety, unchecked order can stifle individuality and submission. "Beyond Order" serves as a guide to striking a balance between these two fundamental aspects of reality, providing a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Jordan B. Peterson's book invites readers to explore the delicate equilibrium between order and chaos in the pursuit of personal growth and well-being.

    “A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.” —from the foreword by Luisah Teish   “If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.” —Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees   Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.   Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.

    "A captivating ode to the constant work of becoming—and understanding—oneself." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 
    PANSY is a non-linear, episodic story that combines poetry, cultural criticism, and essays. It follows Black transmasc, southern writer Jasper as they fumble through an awkward Memphis upbringing in the 90s and early aughts, an insufferable Nashville PWI, and a fierce NYC queer awakening, all with a poignant throughline on Black exceptionalism, focused on Jasper's wildly agonizing first publishing experience with JUNIPER LEAVES.

    Urbanization has been one of the most significant trends of the 21st century, with more than half of the world's population now living in cities. As global populations continue to grow, an increasing number of people are flocking to urban areas, resulting in the development of some of the most densely populated cities on Earth. These megacities, home to millions of individuals, represent both the wonders and the challenges of modern life. The intensity of life in such crowded spaces shapes the experiences of those who live there, from the social fabric to the environment. 
      
    This book explores the experiences of individuals living in the most crowded urban centers, where the pressure of population density influences every aspect of daily life. It aims to examine how these cities manage their growth, deal with the challenges of overcrowding, and provide a glimpse into the lives of those navigating these spaces. The urban centers featured in this book are marked not only by their size but also by the vibrancy and diversity they house. Yet, despite the potential for economic growth and cultural exchange, these cities face significant struggles related to infrastructure, health, safety, and quality of life. 
      
    The history of urban density is also a fascinating tale of human resilience and innovation. From the early days of civilization to the present, cities have been shaped by their environments, political systems, and technological advancements. As cities grow ever more populous, the boundaries of what can be managed are constantly tested, leading to new solutions, as well as failures. The story of overcrowding is not just one of increasing numbers but also of the social, economic, and environmental impacts that come with it.
