Bonus Army March

Summary

"Bonus Army March" examines the 1932 protests in Washington D.C., where World War I veterans sought early payment of their promised bonuses amid the Great Depression. This book uniquely connects the economic desperation of veterans, the political debates surrounding the bonus bill, and the severe consequences of the government's response. The narrative reveals how the Hoover administration's actions contributed to its unpopularity. The book traces the veterans' journey to Washington, their establishment of encampments, and their interactions with Congress. It highlights that the initial bonus legislation was the World War Adjusted Compensation Act in 1924, but as economic hardship intensified, veterans demanded immediate relief. Supported by primary sources like letters and government documents, the book progresses from establishing the historical context of WWI, through the march on Washington, and culminates in the government's controversial eviction of the veterans. It provides a comprehensive account of a pivotal moment in American history, detailing the social movements, veterans' affairs, and the government’s handling of the economic hardship. The book provides a balanced perspective on the events and encourages readers to consider the ongoing debate about the government’s responsibility to its veterans.

Inside the Britannic -...

Simon Mills

The Olympic Class ships were intended to be the greatest liners to ever sail the oceans, but the Britannic sank only four years after her sister ship the Titanic. While the wreck of the Titanic is two miles below the surface and rapidly deteriorating, the Britannic is much more accessible (only 400 ft down) and remains largely intact. One of the largest passenger ships ever to have sunk, her wreck presents a unique opportunity to explore the interior of the Olympic Class liners, and examine areas which on the Titanic simply no longer exist. 
 
 
 
Simon Mills bought the wreck of the Britannic in 1996 and has spent more time exploring it than anyone else. Inside the Britannic is the sum of decades of work covering every inch of the shipwreck as he searches for answers to century-old questions, and discovers new mysteries to solve. Simon takes a forensic approach but this book is more than just the autopsy report of a ship. 
 
 
 
The Britannic may have been lost over a century ago, but Simon Mills's fascinating new book gives everyone unparalleled access to rediscover her.

Summary of Beyond Order - 12...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
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.

Welcome to Dragon Talk -...

Greg Tito, Shelly Mazzanoble

If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
 
 
  
Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.
