Summary

Solomon War explores the Solomon Islands campaign, a pivotal and brutal theater in the Pacific War during World War II. It reveals how this remote archipelago became a crucial battleground, significantly altering the course of the war. The book highlights the strategic importance of the islands, noting that their control was essential for both Allied and Japanese forces due to their proximity to Australia and vital shipping lanes. Furthermore, the campaign marked a turning point as Allied victory halted Japanese expansion, shifting momentum in their favor. The book examines the diverse military strategies used by both sides, detailing key battles like Guadalcanal, set against the challenging backdrop of jungle warfare. It provides a holistic view by also exploring the profound social and environmental consequences experienced by the local islanders, including displacement and long-term environmental damage. The narrative progresses from the geopolitical landscape to the specifics of major battles, ultimately reflecting on the campaign’s lasting legacy. Drawing from military records, firsthand accounts, and oral histories, Solomon War uniquely combines military history with social and environmental analysis. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the Solomon Islands campaign, making it valuable for military history enthusiasts and anyone interested in the Pacific War's broader impact on world history.

    James Whitcomb Riley was an American writer, poet, and best-selling author. During his lifetime he was known as the "Hoosier Poet" and "Children's Poet" for his dialect works and his children's poetry respectively. His poems tended to be humorous or sentimental, and of the approximately one thousand poems that Riley authored, the majority are in dialect. Riley began his career writing verses as a sign maker and submitting poetry to newspapers. Thanks in part to an endorsement from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, he eventually earned successive jobs at Indiana newspaper publishers during the latter 1870s. Riley became a bestselling author in the 1890s. His children's poems were compiled into a book and illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy. Titled the Rhymes of Childhood, the book was his most popular and sold millions of copies. As a poet, Riley achieved an uncommon level of fame during his own lifetime.  - Summary by Wikipedia

    The New Leviathans - Thoughts...

    Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, his cold political vision continues to see through any number of human political and ethical vanities. 
 
 
 
In his wonderfully stimulating book The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors, and disappointments. The collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near apoplectic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism, and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas have flourished, and yet our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations that will somehow dissolve. Hobbes would not be so confident. 
 
 
 
Filled with fascinating and challenging observations, The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more self-aware, realistic, and disabused ethics help us?

"Show[s] how deep reading habits help us manage distraction and bring about individual and communal flourishing."--Christianity Today 
 
This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.  
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ--such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion--and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deep reading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.
