Summary

In the annals of American history, the Civil War stands as a pivotal moment, a cataclysmic struggle that tested the very foundation of the nation. At the heart of this tumultuous era stood the Army of the Potomac, the Union's primary fighting force in the eastern theater of the war.

This captivating book delves into the story of the Army of the Potomac, chronicling its trials and triumphs, its leaders and its soldiers, its strategies and its sacrifices. Through the lens of this iconic army, we gain a deeper understanding of the complex forces that shaped the Civil War and the profound impact it had on the nation.

From the early days of the conflict, when the Army of the Potomac struggled to find its footing, to the climactic battles that ultimately decided the war's outcome, this book offers a comprehensive narrative of the army's journey. We witness the evolution of military strategy, the rise and fall of commanding generals, and the indomitable spirit of the common soldier.

Beyond the battlefield, this book also explores the broader context of the Civil War, examining the political, social, and economic factors that fueled the conflict. We delve into the motivations of the soldiers who fought on both sides, the impact of the war on civilians, and the lasting legacy of the struggle.

The Army of the Potomac was a microcosm of the nation itself, a diverse and complex entity united by a common cause. This book brings to life the stories of the men who served in the army, from the generals who led them to the foot soldiers who endured the hardships of camp life and the horrors of battle.

Through a combination of meticulous research and vivid storytelling, this book captures the essence of the Army of the Potomac and its pivotal role in the Civil War. It is a tribute to the soldiers who fought and died, a testament to their courage and sacrifice, and a reminder of the enduring strength of the American spirit.

    A wave of optimism is sweeping through the international aid and development industry, championed by leaders such as Jeffrey Sachs and Jim Yong Kim, who believe that poverty eradication could be within our grasp. Yet in stark opposition come those who believe that all international development intervention is hegemonic, paternalistic, and neocolonialist and must be done away with. In this book, the author argues for a middle ground. Poverty is an entrenched, intractable problem that will never be entirely eradicated. However, if we reorientate our objectives in line with realistic goals that improve the way that poverty is confronted on a smaller scale, we can still continue the fight for meaningful change. Using rigorous scholarship illustrated with vivid storytelling and personal anecdotes from fighting against poverty in the field, The Development Trap argues that we need to make progress against poverty on the micro, rather than the macro scale. Instead of shooting for a single overarching end of poverty, our goals must be modest and reachable.

    This Grammy-nominated recording is a thoughtful reflection about aging by President Jimmy Carter, the longest living president in American history.

Even as life expectancy has increased over the centuries, the thought of aging continues to plague men and women around the world. In addition to worries about the physical aspects of aging, people also fear the prejudice that exists toward the elderly. But as President Jimmy Carter demonstrates, there are indeed virtues to aging, as he explores the spiritual and intellectual growth that often comes with old age. President Carter tackles such issues as planning for retirement, adopting new diet and exercise regimens, and coping with age prejudice. In addition to sharing valuable lessons on aging he learned from world leaders and great thinkers, Carter also reflects on his marriage to Rosalyn, a union that endured for more than 75 years. This inspiring audio, narrated by Carter himself, received a Grammy nomination for Best Spoken Word Album.

    The Grammar of Self - Collected...

    In THE GRAMMAR OF SELF, George Watt presents a lifetime of memories, which seemingly move at random from decade to decade, from continent to continent, from cosmos to microcosm. It does have one central goal: to look at poetry as an attempt towards objectification of aspects of personal identity, as a means through which the self may be confronted, challenged and celebrated. But the volume of verse does more than that as it subscribes to a notion from Thomas Szasz about the self: it is “not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.” (T.S. Szasz, The Second Sin (New York: Anchor Press, 1973, p. 49.) This volume accepts that the poetic text, or multiples thereof, is one means through which a self finds articulation. This articulation is open-ended, chaotic, composed of innumerable experiential fragments that come from deed, time, place and person. The self in this volume is composed of psychic jigsaw pieces (single poems) each of which assert their right to placement, but which will never collate into a perfect picture. This volume of poetry is a collection of many of these pieces, which together present an incomplete movement towards Szaszian self-creation.
