    The Gas and Flame Men is the first full account of Major League ballplayers who served in the Chemical Warfare Service during World War I. Four players, two club executives, and a manager served in the small and hastily formed branch, six of them as gas officers. Remarkably, five of the seven—Christy Mathewson, Branch Rickey, Ty Cobb, George Sisler, and Eppa "Jeptha" Rixey—are now enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York. The son of a sixth Hall of Famer, player and manager Ned Hanlon, was a young officer killed in action in France with the First Gas Regiment. Prominent chemical soldiers also included veteran Major League catcher and future manager George "Gabby" Street and Boston Braves president and former Harvard football coach Percy D. Haughton. 
     
     
     
    The Gas and Flame Men explores how these famous baseball men, along with an eclectic mix of polo players, collegiate baseball and football stars, professors, architects, and prominent social figures all came together in the Chemical Warfare Service. Jim Leeke examines their service and its long-term effects on their physical and mental health—and on Major League Baseball and the world of sports. The Gas and Flame Men also addresses historical inaccuracies and misperceptions surrounding Christy Mathewson's early death from tuberculosis, long attributed to wartime gas exposure.

    "Studies in Pessimism" is a collection of philosophical essays by Arthur Schopenhauer, delving into his views on the nature of human existence, suffering, and the inevitability of pain and adversity in life. Schopenhauer explores the futility of human desires, the limitations of human intellect, and the relentless influence of the will on our actions. He presents a pessimistic outlook on the human condition, arguing that striving for inner peace through the renunciation of desires is the key to mitigating suffering and finding solace in a seemingly indifferent world. Read in English, unabridged.

    Jainism, one of the oldest religions in the world, offers a profound philosophical and spiritual framework that emphasizes non-violence, truth, and the quest for liberation. Rooted in ancient Indian traditions, Jainism has significantly influenced the cultural and ethical landscape of India and beyond. With a rich history that dates back over two millennia, Jain teachings focus on the importance of individual responsibility, ethical conduct, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. 
    At the heart of Jainism lies the principle of Ahimsa, or non-violence, which extends not only to humans but to all forms of life, reflecting a deep commitment to compassion and respect for nature. This principle is not merely a passive refrain from harm; it is an active dedication to fostering well-being and harmony in all aspects of life. Alongside Ahimsa, Jains practice Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (chastity), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness), forming a comprehensive ethical code that guides their daily lives and spiritual aspirations. 
    Jainism also emphasizes the significance of self-discipline and self-realization as pathways to liberation (Moksha) from the cycle of birth and death (Samsara). The teachings of the Tirthankaras, spiritual teachers who have attained enlightenment, serve as guides for followers on their spiritual journey. These enlightened beings exemplify the ideal virtues of Jain philosophy and provide practical insights for navigating the complexities of life.

  • Language and Writing in Ancient Mesopotamia: The History and Legacy of the Languages and Scripts Used across the Region in Antiquity - cover

    Language and Writing in Ancient...

    Along with Egypt, the cultural and geographic region known as Mesopotamia was home to some of the world’s earliest civilizations and also the first known form of writing, cuneiform. Many different ethnic groups vied for power in ancient Mesopotamia over the course of antiquity, spanning about 3,000 years, and many of them spoke different languages. Despite these differences, the people in Mesopotamia shared many cultural attributes, including similar religious practices, a common art and architecture style, and a shared use of the cuneiform script.  
    	As this suggests, language and writing were different but also interconnected. The languages spoken by the peoples of Mesopotamia were as diverse as the many ethnic groups, but as those groups asserted their military, economic, and cultural power over the other groups, two languages became dominant in the region: Sumerian and Akkadian. These were the two languages that were primarily used by the people of Mesopotamia to record their myths, religious rituals, government records, and historiographical accounts.  
    	Indeed, the languages and written scripts of Mesopotamia were not just enduring over time in the region, but they also had wide geographic influence, much more than any language groups or scripts at the time. The Sumerian language continued to be learned by scribes throughout Mesopotamia centuries after it had become a “dead language,” and the Akkadian language eventually became the lingua franca of the Near East by the Late Bronze Age. Akkadian became the language of diplomacy and trade, while cuneiform was used to record agreements in Akkadian between the "Great Powers” of the era. Cuneiform was also adopted by people outside of Mesopotamia, such as the Hittites and Elamites, who modified the script to fit the lexicons and rules of grammar for their own languages.
