Sinossi

In "The Veteran and Other Stories of the Civil War," Stephen Crane employs his signature realist style to portray the harrowing experiences of soldiers amid the chaos of the American Civil War. This collection reflects the psychological turmoil and moral ambiguities faced by individuals during a time of national strife, intertwining vivid imagery with a stark, unembellished narrative voice. Crane's exploration of themes such as heroism, sacrifice, and the brutality of warfare presents an acute critique of romanticized notions of battle, situating the stories within the broader context of late 19th-century American literature, which grappled with the consequences of the war on society and the collective psyche. Stephen Crane, born in 1871 in Newark, New Jersey, came of age during the aftermath of the Civil War, which profoundly influenced his literary output. Having only experienced the war vicariously through interviews and accounts, Crane synthesized these narratives with his own vivid imagination, thereby capturing the surreal human experience of conflict. His work is marked by a deep empathy for his subjects, which stems from his own encounters with trauma and loss, paralleling the societal upheaval of his times. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking a poignant reflection on war's impact on humanity. Crane's masterful storytelling and psychological insights invite readers to confront the complexities of bravery and cowardice, making "The Veteran and Other Stories of the Civil War" an enduring exploration of the human condition during one of America's most turbulent epochs.

Lost Airmen - The Epic Rescue of...

Charles E. Stanley Jr.

Late in 1944, thirteen U.S. B-24 bomber crews bailed from their cabins over the Yugoslavian wilderness. Bloodied and disoriented after a harrowing strike against the Third Reich, the pilots took refuge with the Partisan underground. But the Americans were far from safe. Holed up in a village barely able to feed its citizens, encircled by Nazis, and left abandoned after a team of British secret agents failed to secure their escape, the airmen were left with little choice. It was either flee or be killed.

The Social Genome - The New...

Dalton Conley

A pioneering scientist presents a mind-expanding account of the sociogenomics revolution, which promises to upend everything we know about human development. 
 
 
 
Sociogenomics brings together advances in molecular genetics and traditional social and behavioral science. The key tool is the polygenic index, which allows us to analyze DNA to measure a child's genetic potential. Today, we can estimate a child's adult height, how far they will go in school, and their weight as an adult—all from a cheek swab, finger prick, or vial of saliva. Dalton Conley and other researchers are using this new science to shed light on the ways in which genes shape our world, influencing how each person both creates and responds to the environment around them. Conley reveals a world where children's DNA influences the nurture they extract from their parents; the genes of our schoolmates affect our likelihood of smoking as much as our own DNA does; and spouses' genes influence each other's moods and behaviors. 
 
 
 
The Social Genome presents a nuanced, powerful perspective on individual potential and social dynamics and raises critical ethical questions about how we will navigate a future where we have access to far more genetic information than ever before.

President Abraham Lincoln's...

President Abraham Lincoln

Horace Greeley (1811–1872) was the founder and editor of the influential New York Tribune, whose circulation was among the largest in the United States. On August 19, 1862, Greeley wrote an editorial titled “The Prayer of Twenty Millions”--referring to the number of Northerners loyal to the Union--which criticized Lincoln for his reluctance to use the powers Congress had given him to confiscate southern property, including slaves, in order to emancipate them. The following is President Abraham Lincoln's reply, published in the Daily National Intelligencer on August 23, 1862.
