  John Potts Slough, the Union commander at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, lived a life of relentless pursuit for success that entangled him in the turbulent events of mid-nineteenth-century America. As a politician, Slough fought abolitionists in the Ohio legislature and during Kansas Territory's fourth and final constitutional convention. He organized the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry after the Civil War broke out, eventually leading his men against Confederate forces at the pivotal engagement at Glorieta Pass. After the war, as chief justice of the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court, he struggled to reform corrupt courts amid the territory's corrosive Reconstruction politics. 
   
   
   
  Slough was known to possess a volcanic temper and an easily wounded pride. These traits not only undermined a promising career but ultimately led to his death at the hands of an aggrieved political enemy who gunned him down in a Santa Fe saloon. Recounting Slough's timeless story of rise and fall during America's most tumultuous decades, historian Richard L. Miller brings to life this extraordinary figure.

  Nihilism - The Philosophy of...

  Nihilism is often misunderstood as mere pessimism or despair, yet it is far more complex than a simple rejection of hope. At its core, nihilism is the philosophical stance that life lacks inherent meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value. This perspective challenges the foundations of morality, knowledge, and existence itself, questioning whether anything possesses objective significance. While nihilism can evoke feelings of emptiness and disillusionment, it can also serve as a liberating force, stripping away illusions and compelling individuals to forge their own meaning. 
  The term "nihilism" originates from the Latin word "nihil," meaning "nothing." Though traces of nihilistic thought can be found in ancient skepticism, it was in the 19th century that the philosophy gained prominence. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared the "death of God," arguing that traditional religious and moral values had lost their authority. He warned that without these guiding structures, society risked falling into despair and meaninglessness. However, Nietzsche did not advocate surrendering to nihilism but instead sought a way to overcome it through the creation of new values. Russian nihilists of the same era took a different approach, rejecting societal norms and advocating for radical change, often through extreme means. Their interpretation of nihilism fueled revolutionary movements, demonstrating its potential to inspire both destruction and transformation.  
  Nihilism manifests in various forms, from existential and moral nihilism to epistemological and political nihilism. Existential nihilism is perhaps the most well-known, asserting that life has no ultimate purpose or inherent meaning. This idea has been explored by thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, who wrestled with the absurdity of existence.

  If you're a woman living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you've likely sensed your uniqueness from an early age. Growing up, societal norms, expectations, and learning environments subtly communicated which behaviors, thinking patterns, and work styles were deemed acceptable or frowned upon. These messages, pervasive in media, classrooms, and conversations, shaped your perception of self and others. 
  While ADHD is often associated with children, its effects can persist into adulthood, presenting distinct challenges in various aspects of life. Women, in particular, contend with societal norms that may clash with their innate traits, leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.

  Diagnosing and assessing ADHD, along with associated risks and benefits
