  “Gavin at War provides a lively self-portrait. His diary is especially notable for its skeptical assessments of his comrades and his Army.” — The New York TimesWinner, 2022 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards, Journals, Memoirs, and Letters"General Gavin was a very brave man who had great faith in his men. The battle or the weather never stopped him from going to check the troops. He would go in the rain or snow. If the battle was severe, he would crawl from foxhole to foxhole to talk to his men to let them know he was with them. Words cannot explain the love and pride I had for General Gavin."—Walter Woods, World War II aide to General Gavin  Lieutenant General James Gavin, commander of the 82nd Airborne Division during WWII, is one of the best-known figures of the war. Beginning as the commander of the 505th Parachute Combat Team that spearheaded the American assault on Sicily in July 1943, Gavin advanced to division command and finally command of US forces in Berlin. Throughout this time he kept a wartime diary that starts in April 1943, as the unit was preparing to go to northern Africa, and continues through to his final entry on 1 September 1945 during the occupation of Berlin.  During the war years, Gavin came into close contact with virtually all the leading airborne commanders and many others who would advance to the top levels of Army leadership. His diary includes observations on fellow military and political leaders such as General Dwight Eisenhower and the British Field Marshal Montgomery, army operations, and the general's personal life. Gavin was an officer who led by example: on four combat jumps—into Sicily, at Salerno, then Normandy and the Netherlands—he was the first man out the door. Two Distinguished Service Crosses, two Silver Stars, and the Purple Heart rewarded his service.  For decades, Gavin kept the existence of the journal a secret; the general's family discovered it among his belongings after his death. Editor Lewis "Bob" Sorley has worked closely with the Gavin family and the Army Heritage Center to prepare the diary for publication. His edited and annotated version includes a prologue and epilogue to frame the entries within the wider scope of the general's life.

  From Polyvagal Theory pioneer Dr. Stephen Porges comes a new resource sharing the origin and best practices of his groundbreaking new protocol, and highlighting real-life stories of transformation and healing.We all want to live and share our truth, but when we don’t feel safe, it can be impossible to fully express or even know who we really are. The nervous system impacts daily well-being, to our benefit or detriment. Understanding how may be key to truly knowing yourself and better supporting the challenges holding you back. “When the nervous system regains its capacity to feel safe,” say Porges and Onderko, “individuals can express themselves genuinely, engage comfortably with others, and embrace a life of greater openness and ease.”The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a groundbreaking therapy based in Polyvagal Theory, which looks at the role the autonomic nervous system and vagus nerve play in regulating health and behavior. SSP involves listening to music that’s been filtered to prioritize frequencies of human speech, providing auditory input that enables the nervous system to reset to its homeostatic state.Porges and Onderko offer a glimpse into this innovative approach, highlighting not only the origin of SSP and its best practices but also real-life stories of transformation. They showcase clinical evidence demonstrating SSP’s impact on emotional dysregulation, social interaction difficulty, and auditory sensitivity, providing a comprehensive understanding of its therapeutic potential. Some features and conditions addressed include:• Depression• Perfectionism• Addiction• Suicidal ideation• COVID recovery• Navigating gender identity• Living with Parkinson’s disease• Hypermobility• Autism• ADHD• Dyslexia Whether patient, family member, friend, or clinician, you’ll find a deeper understanding of the nervous system and tools for a more resilient experience. Illustrating the incredible range of application and how autonomic regulation can lead to significant improvements—from stress and anxiety to grief and trauma—Safe and Sound demonstrates how SSP can promote a state of safety and calm, facilitating the foundation for long-awaited healing.

  For the determined leader, reform is possible in any organization, especially if a leader sets goals and applies a clear strategy to meet those goals.

  POWER: How We Take It, Hold It, Lose It and Learn From It The Human Condition Quartet — Book Four 
  Back to Me gave you the voice. TRIBAL gave you the tribe. Beyond Belief gave you the faith. Now comes the force that governs all three. 
  Power is the fourth and final book in Quentin Drummond Anderson's acclaimed Human Condition Quartet — a landmark work of popular philosophy exploring the deepest patterns of what it means to be human. Having examined how we communicate, how we belong, and how we believe, Anderson turns at last to the hidden force that runs beneath all three. 
  Not the crude power of titles and org charts. Not the theatre of politics or the machinery of office. The real thing — the capacity to shape outcomes, the grammar of human relations that no one teaches and everyone uses, the current that runs through every marriage, every meeting, every revolution, and every act of kindness. 
  Anderson dismantles the comfortable fictions we hold about power: that it belongs to certain kinds of people, that we either have it or we don't, that wanting it is somehow suspect. He examines how power is taken, how it is given, how it corrupts, how it declines, and how it can be exercised with wisdom and purpose. 
  Drawing on Weber, Frankl, and French and Raven alongside military leadership, the economics of patronage, and the disruptions of the digital age, Power is both rigorous intellectual inquiry and profoundly practical guide. 
  "Power, examined honestly, is morally neutral in its nature and morally consequential in its exercise. It can serve or corrupt, build or destroy, liberate or imprison — depending entirely on the quality, the clarity, and the character of the person holding it."
