  Being Sam Harris - Feeling the...

  New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris is one of the most famous popular thinkers of our day. With a YouTube podcast channel Making Sense of almost half a million subscribers, and almost three million views of his debates with Jordan Peterson. The author of several books, and podcaster, Sam can be described for British audiences as Russell Brand with a neurology doctorate.
  Being Sam Harris challenges the central ideas of Sam's works. Ranging through philosophy, logic, history, religion, the science of neuro-imaging, and more.
  Sam is accused of being a one trick charlatan. A disingenuous showman who uses the technique of Singularity to generate a kaleidoscope of logically flawed and socially dangerous ideas. Despite their neo-liberal hippy patina, Sam's recipes for life demand suicide for the Self. All that remains is the autodidactic, synthesist benevolence of being Sam Harris.

  An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
   
  Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
   
  Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

  A Rare Recording of Navajo Code...

  Dan Akee was part of the Navajo code talker units of the US Marine Corps that relayed radio and phone messages in their native dialect during World War II operations.
   
  The method was fast and indecipherable to enemy eavesdroppers, as Navajo is an unwritten language of extreme complexity - with its syntax, tonal qualities, and various dialects - making it unintelligible to anyone without extensive exposure and training. It has no alphabet or symbols, and is spoken only on the Navajo lands of the American Southwest. By one estimate, at the time of World War II, the Navajo language was understood by fewer than 30 non-Navajos.
   
  Approximately 400 Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the US Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions, and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language. The code was never broken by the Japanese, and its security has been credited with contributing significantly to the capture of Iwo Jima in 1945.
   
  The following are two recordings from code talker Dan Akee.
