Sinossi

In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of the Mexican-American War, one man's journal offers a rare glimpse into the realities of combat, the resilience of the human spirit, and the profound impact of war on individuals and nations.

Dr. Thomas Neely Love, a surgeon in the Second Regiment Mississippi Infantry, left behind a firsthand account of his experiences in his journal, a powerful and moving narrative that transports readers back in time to one of the most significant events in American history.

Love's journal is not only a valuable historical document but also a deeply personal story of courage, resilience, and humanity. Through his eyes, we witness the transformation of a nation, the birth of new heroes, and the enduring legacy of a conflict that continues to shape the United States today.

From the early battles of the war to the final push towards Mexico City, Love's journal takes readers on a gripping journey through the horrors of combat, the challenges of providing medical care in a time of chaos, and the emotional toll on the soldiers.

But Love's journal is more than just a chronicle of war. It is also a story of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Love's compassion for his patients, his unwavering dedication to his duty, and his ability to find moments of beauty and grace even in the darkest of times are a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

In this book, we delve into the pages of Love's journal, exploring the complexities of the Mexican-American War and its lasting impact on the United States. We follow Love's journey from his home in Mississippi to the battlefields of Mexico, and we witness the transformation of a young doctor into a seasoned veteran. We also explore the broader context of the war, examining its causes, consequences, and legacy.

Through Love's eyes, we gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by those who served in the Mexican-American War, and we are reminded of the profound impact that war can have on individuals, communities, and nations.

    This book is a bundle of several titles which are: 
    - Dawn's Dilemma: Waking up in the morning is supposed to be a fresh start—a chance to begin anew, to seize the day. But for many, it is instead a moment of resistance, a time when the comfort of the bed feels more appealing than the promise of a productive day ahead. This paradox, where the desire to be productive and successful clashes with the reluctance to rise from sleep, is at the heart of what I call the "Awakening Paradox." 
    - The Ultimate Enigma: The story of this enigma begins with a seemingly ordinary event that spiraled into an extraordinary mystery, captivating the minds of people across the globe. What started as an unexplained disappearance soon transformed into one of the most perplexing and widely discussed mysteries in recorded history. The vanishing of this individual—or object, depending on the version of the story one hears—left behind only traces of confusion, a scattering of evidence, and no clear answers. 
    - The Emperor's Edge: Napoleon Bonaparte's journey from a modest Corsican background to one of history's greatest military leaders is nothing short of remarkable. Born on August 15, 1769, in Ajaccio, Corsica, a French territory that had only recently been acquired from the Genoese, Napoleon’s early years were shaped by the turbulent political climate of his homeland.  
    - The Shadow Agents: Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye.

    Ballers of the New School is one of the first and best books to come along that effectively explains contemporary athletes and the public response to them.  It asks readers to consider the role of race in the sweaty as well as the sweat-free zones of sport. It challenges the well-worn narrative of sport as America's most significant site of racial progress by scrutinizing the true role of sport in mobilizing and shaping definitions, social relations, and public life.American sport culture performs and propagates rituals, symbols, and expressions of fear and difference that sustain racism, and notions of racial supremacy and block bridges to racial progress.  
     The text encourages a restructuring of the power of the racial subtexts thrust into sporting arenas, upon the bodies of athletes of color, and into the mind and hearts of spectators via the racial contract.  The book's impetus is for readers to emerge with more truthful narratives, more honest dialogues, better American values, better social relations, and hopefully, using this new vision of sports culture as a model, real change.

    An action-oriented approach for businesses to solve the world’s most urgent social problems — and benefit from doing so.
    		 
    More than a year into a global pandemic, profit and shareholder value are no longer the primary metric of business success. Customers, shareholders, and communities are demanding that companies do good, do more, and do better. In Change for Good, Paul Klein shows how companies must move beyond what he calls “corporate social responsibility light” and demonstrate how they can help solve social problems that have been defined as UN Sustainable Development Goals.
    		 
    Change for Good is a new system for making social change through business that reflects Paul’s experience over the last 35 years. One of the core principles of Change for Good is including people with lived experience of social problems in identifying promising solutions and collaborating to bring these solutions to life. This methodology can create impactful and sustainable social change in society in ways that aren’t possible when executives make decisions in their boardrooms that are intended to impact the lives of vulnerable people.
    		 
    Through personal experiences, case studies, and practical tools, Change for Good will inspire readers and their organizations to make the shift from a passive social responsibility to taking action to help solve the world’s most pressing social problems.

  • On Collective Memory - cover

    On Collective Memory

    Maurice Halbwachs

    How do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which established him as a major figure in the history of sociology. This volume, the first comprehensive English-language translation of Halbwach’s writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge. 
    Halbwachs’ primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes of behavior. Halbwachs shows, for example, how pilgrims to the Holy Land over the centuries evoked very different images of the events of Jesus’ life; how wealthy old families in France have a memory of the past that diverges sharply from that of the nouveaux riches; and how working class construction of reality differ from those of their middle-class counterparts. 
     
    With a detailed introduction by Lewis A. Coser, this translation will be an indispensable source for new research in historical sociology and cultural memory.
