Sinopse

In "The Boy Scouts of the Field Hospital," Robert Shaler weaves a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of courage and sacrifice through the lens of young scouts engaged in wartime medical assistance. With a deft literary style that marries both vivid imagery and historical authenticity, Shaler crafts a poignant portrayal of the Boy Scouts' roles in the tumultuous landscape of war. Set against the backdrop of conflict and compassion, the work immerses readers in the complexities of youth and heroism, inviting reflection on the often-overlooked contributions of young people in times of crisis. Robert Shaler, an educator and historian who has spent years studying American youth organizations, draws upon his extensive knowledge of the Boy Scouts and wartime history to inform this narrative. Motivated by a desire to honor the mostly unsung heroism of young scouts during significant historical events, Shaler combines storytelling with thorough research, revealing not just the physical challenges these boys faced but also the emotional and ethical dilemmas that accompanied their courageous acts. This book stands as both an educational resource and a stirring story, making it highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek inspiration and a deeper understanding of the historical role of youth in crisis. "The Boy Scouts of the Field Hospital" is a touching reminder that heroism can manifest in many forms, often in the hands of the young.

    A prize-winning memoirist and nature writer turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future 
     
     
     
    A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? 
     
     
     
    In fourteen essays, Dispersals explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds: from species considered invasive, like giant hogweed; to those vilified but intimate, like soy; and those like kelp, on which our futures depend. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

    Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed. 
    From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.” 
    (Giovanni Bonello is a human rights lawyer and judge who served at the European Court of Human Rights for 12 years)
