Richard Taylor, a noted Confederate leader and son of former U.S. President Zachary Taylor, possessed firsthand experience of the war'Äôs horrors and complexities. He emerged from the conflict with not only military recognition but also a desire to document the personal and societal ramifications of war. Taylor's background and leadership roles shaped his understanding of the South'Äôs struggles, which fundamentally inform this deeply personal and historical narrative. This book is essential for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the Civil War's impact on both a regional and personal level. Taylor's reflections invite readers to contemplate the broader implications of war, making this work invaluable for scholars, historians, and casual readers alike. Highly recommended for those eager to explore the human condition during one of America's most challenging epochs.

    In their early teens, two girls were forced to sit next to each other in school. Although they were complete opposites−one a social butterfly and the other a withdrawn bookworm−they soon realized that they shared similar hopes and dreams. Over time, against all expectations, they became best friends. 
Until the war broke out. 
Now, each was thrown into opposite sides of the conflict. And mistakes were made−unforgivable mistakes, that would shape both their futures. 
How could their friendship endure?

    Rome Reawakened concludes the Twilight Reshaped trilogy by exploring the long arc of Rome's cultural, political, and philosophical legacy across time and space. Set in a world where Rome's ideals have evolved into a planetary civilization and beyond, this final volume examines how the Republic reinvents itself through artificial intelligence, democratic rebirths, decentralized governance, and interstellar memory. Through rich storytelling and speculative insights, it asks the enduring question: What does it mean for a civilization to never fall—but to change forever? This is not just the story of Rome. It is the story of every society that dares to carry the past into the future without being defined by it.

    We See Things They’ll Never See...

    Ableism is embedded in our daily lives. Social life, education, work, and, especially, mental health have been organized around rigid ideas of the "ideal" and the "normal" citizen—ideas that always exclude neurodiversity. In this pathbreaking book, Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday argue that the neurodiversity movement offers ways to mobilize against not only ableism but also other "isms" including racism and capitalism. By focusing on the prevalence of neurotypical dominance and power—or "neurotypical hegemony"—Lewis and Arday show the ways that neurotypical dominance has often been used to justify and normalize some of our more harmful cultures around productivity and value.Throughout the book, Lewis and Arday use theories of Blackness, feminism, class, and neurodivergence to offer a vision of solidarities across differences. They show that race, class, ethnicity, gender, and nation are just some of the social structures for which the politics of neurodiversity can produce an emancipatory analysis. This is a book about applying social theory in practice, taking seriously how academic research and theory can be used outside of academic spaces. With We See Things They’ll Never See, Lewis and Arday issue a call to action—and a call for understanding, acceptance, and humility.
