Sinossi

"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.

    What if it were possible for you to make structural changes to your own brain so it's healthier and less prone to depression, anxiety, grief, worry, and other issues that make you unhappy and keep you stuck?
    
    In this neuroscience-based, faith-infused, and immensely practical guide, Dr. W. Lee Warren, a practicing neurosurgeon, trauma survivor, and award-winning writer, reveals how to take control of your own mental, emotional, and physical healing by reordering your mind to change your brain-resulting in a radically transformed life that is healthier, happier, and more hopeful.
    
    
    Since the development of functional brain imaging in the early 2000's, we now know that thoughts can direct structural changes in the brain as or more effectively than medicines or surgery and can do so more quickly. That means, whether we know it or not, we're all brain surgeons.
    
    The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery will help you:
    
    - learn and master several types of "self-brain surgery" operations to move from floundering to flourishing
    - heal from trauma, tragedy, and other types of hardship
    - overcome anxiety, depression, loneliness and other emotional and mental health struggles
    - conquer limiting or negative thinking
    - break old habits and create new ones
    - build resilience and wellbeing
    - become an empowered, hopeful person no matter what you're facing
    With the skill of a surgeon, the wounds of a trauma-survivor, the lessons of a scientist, and a hard-won faith that we are wired for happiness here on earth and not just in the hereafter, Dr. Warren walks readers into nothing less than a new way of life.

    The Founding Emperors of Rome laid the groundwork for the Roman Empire, marking a shift from the Roman Republic to imperial rule. Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula stand as the pivotal figures in this transformation, each shaping the empire in distinct ways. 
    Augustus, born Gaius Octavius, was the first emperor and one of the most successful leaders in Roman history. His reign, from 27 BCE to 14 CE, ushered in the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace and prosperity. Augustus was not only a military genius but also a skilled politician who effectively consolidated power. By presenting himself as the restorer of the Roman Republic, he maintained a delicate balance between autocratic rule and the preservation of traditional republican institutions. Augustus implemented numerous reforms, including the establishment of a professional standing army and a system of taxation that stabilized the empire’s finances. His legacy is marked by the expansion of Roman territory and the establishment of Rome as the center of the ancient world. 
    Following Augustus, his stepson Tiberius became emperor in 14 CE. Tiberius' reign is often seen as a contrast to Augustus. While Augustus sought to maintain the image of republican values, Tiberius became increasingly reclusive and suspicious, particularly in the later years of his reign. His reign was marked by significant military achievements, including the consolidation of Rome’s frontiers in Germania and the Balkans, but his reign was also tainted by political purges and a growing atmosphere of distrust. Tiberius left the throne to his adopted son Caligula, but the political instability and paranoia of his reign would have lasting consequences on the empire.
