Summary

Atlantic Revolutions Compared explores the American and French Revolutions as distinct yet interconnected events, delving into the nuances of revolutionary change and its impact on modern political systems. It uniquely contrasts these revolutions, examining their leadership, constitutional frameworks, and socio-political outcomes.

 
The book highlights how Enlightenment ideals manifested differently across the Atlantic, leading to contrasting results. For example, the American Constitution emphasized individual rights and federalism, while France struggled through multiple constitutions and eventually experienced authoritarianism after the Reign of Terror.

 
The book analyzes revolutionary leadership, such as George Washington and Maximillian Robespierre, to reveal how their strategies influenced each revolution's trajectory. It further examines the socio-economic conditions and pre-existing political institutions that shaped their paths.

 
Structured to provide a clear analysis, the book moves from the intellectual climate that fostered both revolutions to in-depth examinations of leadership, constitutional processes, and socio-political consequences in dedicated chapters.

 
This comparative approach challenges traditional isolated narratives, offering a more nuanced understanding of democracy, political transitions, and revolutionary change.

    "The Irish Potato Famine: An Gorta Mór" is a gripping exploration of one of history's most devastating humanitarian crises. Between 1845 and 1852, Ireland was ravaged by a catastrophic famine that claimed over a million lives and forced millions more to flee their homeland. Yet, this was far more than a tragedy of failing crops; it was a crucible of resilience, shaped by the convergence of natural disaster, political neglect, and the systemic inequalities of colonial rule. 
Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book delves into the famine’s harrowing origins, its profound human cost, and its enduring legacy on Ireland and the world. Discover how the Irish people, despite unimaginable suffering, emerged with a fierce determination to survive, remember, and rebuild, forever altering their cultural and demographic landscape. 
More than a recounting of historical events, this is a poignant reminder of the global relevance of these lessons. As the echoes of An Gorta Mór resonate across time, the story compels readers to reflect on the responsibilities of governance, the dangers of systemic inequality, and the imperative to foster solidarity in the face of contemporary crises. 
"The Irish Potato Famine" is not just a chronicle of a tragic past—it is a universal testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring quest for justice and compassion.

    Bruce Goldfarb spent ten years with Maryland's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, where every sudden or unattended death in the state is scrutinized. 
 
 
 
Touching on numerous scandals, including Derek Chauvin's trial for the murder of George Floyd and the tragic killing in police custody of Freddie Gray, Goldfarb pulls back the curtain on a pioneer institution in crisis. 
 
 
 
Medical examiners and the investigators and technicians who support them play vital roles in the justice and public health systems of every American community. During Goldfarb's time with the Maryland OCME, opioid-related deaths contributed to a significant increase in their workload. Faced with a chronic shortage of qualified experts and inadequate funding, their important and fascinating work has become more challenging than most people could ever imagine.

We aren't on the same team . . . We aren't on any team. The medical examiner’s sole duty is to the deceased person. We speak for the dead.
