Samuel Adams Drake's 'The Campaign of Trenton 1776-77' offers a meticulous examination of one of the pivotal moments in the American Revolutionary War. Rendered in Drake's engaging narrative style, the book intertwines vivid descriptions with insightful analyses of military strategy and political implications. Set against the backdrop of a nascent nation grappling with identity and independence, Drake's work reflects the keen historical sensibilities of the late 19th century—a time when the American public was increasingly interested in its revolutionary past. His extensive use of primary sources breathes life into the era, illuminating the challenges and triumphs faced by the Continental Army during this crucial campaign. Samuel Adams Drake, a prominent historian and author renowned for his works on the American Revolution, brings a wealth of contextual knowledge to this volume. Having been deeply influenced by his own New England roots and the prevailing desire to commemorate the sacrifices made during the war, Drake's scholarship combines personal passion with academic rigor. His broader body of work seeks to celebrate American heritage while engaging critically with its complexities. Readers seeking a captivating and informative account of the American struggle for independence will find 'The Campaign of Trenton 1776-77' to be an indispensable resource. With its detailed narrative and scholarly insights, this book is not only a tribute to the heroism of those who fought but also a compelling invitation to understand the formative experiences that shaped a nation.

    In "Social Intelligence," Daniel Goleman explores how our relationships affect the brain, health, and well-being. He proposes that humans are biologically programmed to connect emotionally and distinguishes between two neural pathways: a fast, intuitive one (the low road) and a rational, conscious one (the high road). Goleman introduces concepts such as emotional contagion, empathy, mirror neurons, and the importance of attachment from infancy. 
     Goleman also differentiates between I/Thou relationships, based on genuine connection, and I/It relationships, which are more impersonal. He warns about the risks of the "dark triad" (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism) and the emotional blindness that can affect individuals with trauma or autism spectrum conditions. He emphasizes that social intelligence is not innate but moldable through experience and environment, thanks to social epigenetics. 
     The author analyzes how love, leadership, education, and emotional health are influenced by our social skills. He also critiques the negative impact of technology and the mechanization of the medical system on empathy. Finally, Goleman advocates for a more compassionate society where social intelligence is cultivated through cultural, educational, and community efforts to improve our lives and relationships.

    Essays on music, art, pop culture, literature, and politics by the renowned essayist and observer of contemporary life, now collected together for the first time. 
     
     
     
    The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick is a companion collection to The Collected Essays, a book that proved a revelation of what, for many, had been an open secret: that Elizabeth Hardwick was one of the great American literary critics, and an extraordinary stylist in her own right. The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here—none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick's work—make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner's Parsifal to Leonardo da Vinci's inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick's passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.

    New York Times best-selling author Patrick Lencioni unveils a truly groundbreaking new model that will change the way we think about work and teams forever. 
     
    The 6 Types of Working Genius is the fastest way to help people identify the type of work that brings them joy and energy—and avoid work that leads to frustration and burnout. 
     
    Beyond the personal discovery and instant relief that the Working Genius provides, the model also gives teams a remarkably simple and practical framework for tapping into one another’s natural gifts, which increases productivity and reduces unnecessary judgment. 
     
    In classic Lencioni fashion, Pat brings his model to life in a page-turning fable that is as relatable as it is compelling. He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father, who sets out to solve his own frustration at  
    work and stumbles into a new way of thinking that changes the way he sees his work, his team, and even his marriage. 
     
    What sets this book—and the model behind it—apart from other tools and assessments is the speed at which it can be understood and applied, and the relevance it has to every kind of work in life, from running a company to launching a product to managing a family.
