Sinopsis

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Love's journal is not only a valuable historical document but also a deeply personal story of courage, resilience, and humanity.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.

    Martha Nussbaum is one of the most influential philosophers of our time, particularly known for her contributions to feminist theory, political philosophy, and ethics. A professor at the University of Chicago, her work spans a wide array of topics including justice, human capabilities, human rights, and the role of emotions in moral decision-making. Nussbaum’s ideas have significantly impacted both academic philosophy and practical policy, with her innovative theories offering valuable insights into the intersection of ethics, politics, and human development. 
    At the heart of Nussbaum’s intellectual journey is the development of the capabilities approach, a framework she co-created with economist Amartya Sen. This approach is centered on the idea that justice should be evaluated based on individuals’ abilities to function and achieve various important life goals, rather than simply on income or wealth. The capabilities approach emphasizes human dignity and focuses on the conditions that allow people to live lives they have reason to value. It challenges traditional views of social justice by broadening the scope of what constitutes a flourishing life beyond mere economic success. 
    Nussbaum’s feminist philosophy is also pivotal in understanding her work. As an advocate for gender equality, she has critiqued traditional philosophical frameworks that have marginalized women’s voices and experiences. Her feminist perspective emphasizes the importance of recognizing the diverse and often undervalued roles that women play in society, and she works toward reshaping institutions to ensure that women’s capabilities are supported and nurtured. Nussbaum argues that feminism is not just about advocating for women’s rights but also about advancing a more inclusive and just society for all people, regardless of gender.

    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.

    In 2023, the Supreme Court made one of its most devastating rulings in environmental history. By narrowing the legal definition of "waters of the United States" (WOTUS), the court opened the floodgates to unregulated pollution. But while tremendously consequential, the decision was also simply the latest in a long series of battles over WOTUS, and which rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, and perhaps even farm fields were to be protected by the Clean Water Act of 1972. 
     
     
      
    Waters of the United States is an unprecedented exploration of this history—and its importance for today's efforts to conserve a critical natural resource. The book not only examines how bodies of water are legally defined (and therefore protected), but who gets to decide on these definitions. The result is a fascinating look at the ongoing power struggle between the president and federal agencies, the courts, the states, and Congress, over water quality. 
     
     
      
    Waters of the United States offers the detailed analysis necessary for any lawyer or environmental advocate to understand the nuances of water policy, while spinning a compelling narrative for listeners who have never cracked a law book. The unique mix of insights into environmental law, history, and politics is required for anyone who cares about the future of the nations water.
