Sinossi

In "Jules of the Great Heart," Lawrence Mott weaves a compelling narrative that explores the life of Jules, a free trapper and outlaw navigating the rugged Hudson Bay region during its formative years. Combining historical fact with richly drawn characterizations, Mott employs a vivid literary style that blends adventure with introspective reflection, immersing readers in the untamed landscape of early North American wilderness. Through meticulous research, Mott reconstructs a nuanced period marked by cultural tensions, economic opportunities, and the quest for personal freedom, creating a tapestry that reflects the larger themes of exploitation and survival inherent in American frontier life. Lawrence Mott, an accomplished historian and writer with deep roots in American frontier studies, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the era to breathe life into this richly realized tale. His passion for the rugged terrain and complex interactions among its diverse inhabitants informs his portrayal of Jules. Mott'Äôs background in anthropology and history'Äîcoupled with personal interests in the narratives of outlaws and adventurers'Äîinformed his choice to focus on a character who embodies both rebellion and resilience against an evolving landscape. I highly recommend "Jules of the Great Heart" to readers interested in captivating historical narratives that not only entertain but also provide profound insights into the human condition. Mott's masterful storytelling and keen attention to historical detail will appeal to both history enthusiasts and fiction lovers alike, offering a riveting glimpse into a pivotal time in North American history.

    The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
     
     
     
    Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
     
     
     
    Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.

    A rare study that transforms our understanding of why youth die by suicide, why youth suicide clusters happen, and how to stop them 
     
     
     
    In Life under Pressure, Anna S. Mueller and Seth Abrutyn investigate the social roots of youth suicide and why certain places weather disproportionate incidents of adolescent suicides and suicide clusters. Through close examination of kids' lives in a community repeatedly rocked by youth suicide clusters, Mueller and Abrutyn reveal how the social worlds that youth inhabit and the various messages they learn in those spaces—about who they are supposed to be, mental illness, and help-seeking—shape their feelings about themselves and in turn their risk of suicide. With great empathy, Mueller and Abrutyn also identify the moments when adults unintentionally fail kids by not talking to them about suicide, teaching them how to seek help, or helping them grieve. 
     
     
     
    Through stories of survival, resilience, and even rebellion, Mueller and Abrutyn show how social environments can cause suicide and how they can be changed to help kids discover a life worth living. By revealing what it is like to live and die in one community, Life under Pressure offers tangible solutions to one of the twenty-first century's most tragic public health problems.

    In this work, Russell presents his views on the problems of modern society and offers his proposals for a better future. He critiques both capitalism and socialism as inadequate solutions, and instead advocates for a system based on guild socialism, where workers control the means of production and are organized into functional groups. Russell argues that the ultimate goal of society should be the development of the individual, and proposes a society that is organized around individual freedom and fulfillment rather than material wealth. He advocates for the abolition of the wage system and the establishment of a system of economic cooperation and communal ownership. He also discusses the role of education in a free society, arguing that it should be aimed at cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and individuality. Read in English, unabridged.
