  The complexities of the human brain and mind have long fascinated scientists and clinicians alike, as they play a central role in shaping our behavior, cognition, and overall well-being. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the interrelated fields of neurology, psychiatry, and the study of the human brain, offering a thorough understanding of the nervous system and its disorders. 
  The 3 titles are as follows: 
  The Neurology section focuses on the study of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It delves into the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease, highlighting the latest advancements in treatments and technologies used to combat these conditions. 
  In Psychiatry, we examine the mental health aspects of brain function, exploring how psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, are diagnosed and treated. This section highlights the importance of understanding the mind in the context of mental well-being and emphasizes the relationship between neurological and psychiatric conditions. 
  Finally, the Human Brain section provides an in-depth exploration of the brain's structure, function, and intricate networks. Understanding how the brain controls our thoughts, emotions, and actions is essential for diagnosing and treating both neurological and psychiatric disorders. 
  This book serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, students, and anyone interested in the fascinating interplay between the brain and mind.

  The Glory and the Sorrow - A...

  What was it like to live through one of the most transformational periods in world history? In The Glory and the Sorrow, eminent historian Timothy Tackett answers this question through a masterful recreation of the world of Adrien Colson, a minor lawyer who lived in Paris at the end of the Old Regime and during the first eight years of the French Revolution. 
   
   
   
  Based on over a thousand letters written by Colson, this book vividly narrates everyday life for an "ordinary citizen" during extraordinary times, as well as the life of a neighborhood on a small street in central Paris. It explores the real, day-to-day experience of a revolution: not only the thrill, the joy, and the enthusiasm, but also the uncertainty, the confusion, the anxiety, and the disappointments. While Colson reported on major events such as the storming of the Bastille and the King's flight to Varennes, his correspondence underscores the extent to which the great majority of Parisians in no way anticipated the Revolution; the incessant circulation and power of rumors of impending disasters in Paris, not just in the summer of 1789 but continually throughout the Revolutionary decade; and how this affected popular psychology and behavior. 
   
   
   
  An evocative account of Colson's time and place, The Glory and the Sorrow is a compelling microhistory of Revolutionary France.

  Mornings When I Wake

  Mornings When I Wake takes the idea of responding to a book (in this case, Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm) and the "selfing" that arises from the interplay of spirit and text and takes the reader through it experientially, starting in the abstract and slowly moving to the rational. Made up of chapters named for the characters of Holy the Firm, Mornings When I Wake is an ode to Dillard's masterpiece and her overall oeuvre, borrowing themes and styles from many of her books. Put succinctly, it answers the question of what happens when a piece of art lodges in your breastbone.

  The Closed Partisan Mind - A New...

  American politics today can be defined by the intense and increasingly toxic divide between Democrats and Republicans. Matthew D. Luttig explores why so many Americans have endorsed this level of political conflict. 
   
   
   
  Luttig illustrates how the psychological need for closure leads people, regardless of whether they identify as Democrat or Republican, to express more polarized political attitudes. This association between closed minds and partisan polarization is a new phenomenon and can be traced to broader changes in American society, such as the creation of ideologically distinct political parties and a fragmented media environment. These developments have simplified politics into a black-or-white, us-versus-them, conflict—making politics appeal to those with closed minds. 
   
   
   
  Today, strong partisans do not just cheer for their political party to win elections. Instead, more akin to religious true believers, strong partisans use their affiliation as a means of understanding right and wrong, friend and enemy, true and false. The Closed Partisan Mind reveals that these dynamics have manifested in both a new type of partisanship and a new type of partisan. The emergence of this new closed partisanship illustrates the dangers that polarization has wrought on society, politics, and the minds of Americans.

  During World War II, Michigan became a temporary home to six thousand German and Italian POWs. 
  At a time of homefront labor shortages, they picked fruit in Berrien County, harvested sugar beets in the Thumb, cut pulpwood in the Upper Peninsula, and maintained parks and other public spaces in Detroit. The work programs were not flawless and not all of the prisoners were cooperative, but many of the men established enduring friendships with their captors. Author Gregory Sumner tells the story of these detainees and the ordinary Americans who embodied our highest ideals, even amid a global war.
