A key focus is the enduring tension between promoting U.S. strategic interests and fostering regional stability, a balance often disrupted by unintended consequences. The book analyzes the evolution from the Monroe Doctrine through the Cold War and the War on Drugs, alongside diplomatic efforts such as treaties and trade agreements, offering a crucial understanding of contemporary geopolitical dynamics.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with early U.S. expansionism and its impact on indigenous populations and newly independent Latin American nations. Subsequent chapters explore specific periods and events, including the Spanish-American War and the Good Neighbor Policy. By using both primary and secondary sources, including declassified documents and military reports, Western Front provides a holistic perspective on U.S. foreign policy, making it valuable for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding U.S. foreign relations.

Closer to You

Sheryl Lister

Located an hour away from San Diego, the small town of Blackmont, California, is known for its peaceful surroundings and majestic lakes. However, secrets and danger lurk just below the surface. And some secrets could prove to be deadly. 
 
 
 
Love may be a distraction neither of them will live to enjoy . . . 
 
 
 
When Zahra Chandler unexpectedly inherits her grandfather's small-town home and bookstore, she jumps at the chance to leave LA. There's just one problem: she also, unknowingly, inherits a long-buried secret that someone would go to any lengths to protect, including murder. The only thing standing between her and a killer is the town's arrogant, but irresistibly sexy sheriff—a man who ignites in her a passion she's never felt. 
 
 
 
Kendall McKnight takes his job as sheriff seriously and is always prepared for anything . . . except his instant attraction to newcomer Zahra. As they're drawn together in their search for clues, protecting her becomes less about civic duty and much more about carnal desire and he's in danger of losing the one thing he vowed never to risk again—his heart. But the threat is closer than they realize and the truth could tear them apart forever.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Birth...

Daisaku Ikeda

Also explored are how suffering can be transformed to contribute to personal fulfillment and the well-being of others and how modern scientific research accords with ancient Buddhist views.

Unmasked - COVID Community and...

Emily Mendenhall

Unmasked is the story of what happened in Okoboji, a small Iowan tourist town, when a collective turn from the coronavirus to the economy occurred in the COVID summer of 2020. State political failures, local negotiations among political and public health leaders, and community (dis)belief about the virus resulted in Okoboji being declared a hotspot just before the Independence Day weekend, when an influx of half a million people visit the town. 
 
 
 
The story is both personal and political. Author Emily Mendenhall, an anthropologist at Georgetown University, grew up in Okoboji, and her family still lives there. As the events unfolded, Mendenhall was in Okoboji, where she spoke formally with over 100 people and observed a community that rejected public health guidance, revealing deep-seated mistrust in outsiders and strong commitments to local thinking. Unmasked is a fascinating and heartbreaking account of where people put their trust, and how isolationist popular beliefs can be in America's small communities.
