Lost Courage

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the annals of maritime mysteries, the disappearance of USS Courage stands as a haunting enigma, a tale of tragedy and unanswered questions that has captivated the public's imagination for decades. This book delves into the depths of this compelling story, seeking to unravel the secrets that lie beneath the waves.

On a fateful day in 1968, USS Courage, a nuclear-powered submarine, embarked on a routine mission off the coast of Florida. With a crew of 98 brave men aboard, the submarine vanished without a trace, leaving behind a trail of shattered hopes and unanswered questions.

The Navy launched a massive search and rescue operation, scouring the ocean floor for any sign of the missing submarine. However, their efforts yielded no answers, only deepening the mystery surrounding the Courage's fate. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, speculation and rumors began to swirl. Conspiracy theories proliferated, fueled by the Navy's silence and the lack of concrete information.

This book takes a comprehensive look at the tragedy, examining the various theories surrounding the sinking of USS Courage. From plausible explanations such as mechanical failures and human error to more outlandish ideas involving sabotage and supernatural phenomena, no stone is left unturned in the quest for answers.

Through meticulous research and interviews with key figures, the author pieces together the events leading up to the submarine's disappearance, shedding light on the factors that may have contributed to the disaster. The book also explores the impact of the tragedy on the Navy, the families of the victims, and the nation as a whole, revealing the profound and lasting scars left by this heartbreaking loss.

Ultimately, the mystery of USS Courage remains unsolved, a testament to the vastness and unforgiving nature of the ocean depths. However, this book serves as a tribute to the brave crew members who lost their lives, and a reminder of the enduring fascination with one of the most perplexing maritime disasters of all time.

Finding Renee Richards - The...

Julie Kliegman

The candid, definitive biography of professional tennis’s first openly transgender player, Renée Richards, featuring untold stories nearly lost to history, until now. 
Fifty years ago, tennis player Renée Richards made international headlines in her fight to compete in the women’s draw of the 1977 US Open—marking the first time a trans athlete sued to participate in professional sports in the gender category with which they identify. Renée eventually won her case. Though she lost in the first round of the singles tournament, she and her tennis partner made it to the finals in doubles, losing to Martina Navratilova and her partner. 
Finding Renée Richards chronicles Richards’s extraordinary life, moving from her tumultuous upbringing in Queens, New York, to her career as a successful eye surgeon; her years as a star tennis player to her role as a transgender pioneer. Now in her nineties, Renée remains a complex figure: A person who changed the sports world forever yet questions the place of trans athletes in that world today. GLAAD award-nominated sports journalist Julie Kliegman deftly probes these contradictions, drawing on intimate interviews and offering critical reflections on what is at stake for athletes, fans, and the queer community today, at a time when trans participation in sports is more hotly contested—and condemned—than ever before. 
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

The Categories

Aristotle

"The Categories" by Aristotle is a philosophical text from ancient Greece that enumerates all possible kinds of things that can be the subject or predicate of a proposition. This foundational work divides everything in human experience into ten fundamental categories, distinguishing between what can be said "of" versus "in" a subject. Aristotle explores substances, quantities, qualities, and relations, providing a framework for understanding reality that influenced medieval philosophy and sparked centuries of debate about language, logic, and existence.

Unbroken - Secrets Lies and...

Mary Attenborough, Michael...

‘Our outside door came crashing in. Deafening thumps, steel banging on steel and shrill, piercing whistles filled the hallway. Faraway voices called out in the dark: “Armed police.” Others, coming nearer, shouted orders: “Get down on the floor.”’ 
On 28 October 1996 Glaswegian Michael Gallagher is arrested in an armed dawn raid on the London flat he shares with long-time partner, Mary Attenborough. Accused of playing a role in the IRA mortar attack on Heathrow Airport in March 1994, Michael proclaims his innocence. Mary meanwhile throws herself into the battle to free him and highlight what she sees as just another example of British ‘justice’ getting it wrong. 
Told in the alternating voices of the two authors, the dramatic story unfolds with Michael struggling against the harsh conditions of incarceration, while Mary focuses on organising his legal defence, battling to stay positive in the face of soul-destroying setbacks and emotional hardships. 
Yet behind it all lies a secret that could tear the couple apart. How can their love survive?

Europe in the Age of Insecurity...

Alessandro Colombo, Paolo Magri

The international system is going through a phase of heightened disorder. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, and the Israel-Hamas conflict in late 2023 have shown that the current crisis of the international order is being increasingly militarized. Facing wars and instability closer to home, and a rise in big-power competition, Europe is feeling less and less "secure".
This year's ISPI Report unpacks the different dimensions of the current "Age of Insecurity", looking into its political, economic, and demographic facets. It shows how different actors in the international system tackle such insecurity (while also contributing to create more), with a focus on the United States, China, Russia, India and the "Global South", and the main protagonists of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
It finally zooms in on Europe, looking for viable options that could help the continent better face these rising political, economic, and demographic insecurities.
