    Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, led the nation through one of its most challenging periods in history—the American Civil War. Born in a humble log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln's journey from a self-educated lawyer to the leader of a divided nation is a testament to his determination, intellect, and moral compass. Lincoln's unwavering commitment to preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and promoting equality left an enduring legacy that continues to shape the United States to this day. 
     
    Lincoln's presidency was marked by the profound challenges of the Civil War, a conflict that threatened to tear the nation apart. His steadfast leadership and strategic vision were crucial in guiding the Union to victory, ultimately preserving the United States as one nation. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, which declared the freedom of enslaved individuals in Confederate territories, was a pivotal moment in the fight against slavery and laid the foundation for the eventual passage of the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery nationwide. 
     
    Beyond his impact on the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, Lincoln's legacy extends to his commitment to democratic ideals and the pursuit of equality. His Gettysburg Address, delivered in 1863, is a testament to his eloquence and his belief in the principles of liberty and equality for all Americans. Lincoln's assassination in 1865 cut short his presidency, but his contributions to the nation's history have secured his place as one of America's greatest leaders. His dedication to preserving the Union, his fight for justice, and his profound impact on the course of the nation continue to inspire generations and remind us of the enduring values that define the United States.

She became the first federally licensed female pilot from North Carolina that same year.

    "The Comanche Perspective" illuminates one of the most infamous events in early Texas history—the Council House Fight. Traditionally portrayed through a narrow, one-sided lens, this book challenges the conventional narrative by exploring the complex web of cultural misunderstandings and mounting tensions between the Penateka Comanche and the Texians. Drawing on diverse perspectives and in-depth research, it reveals how mutual distrust and hostility led to the tragic clash on March 19, 1840. By shedding light on the shared responsibilities and deep-seated grievances that fueled this violent encounter, "The Comanche Perspective" provides a fresh and balanced understanding of a crucial moment in the history of the American frontier.

    On a misty Monday-21st June 1948-the MV Empire Windrush sailed up the Thames and anchored at Tilbury Dock, London. There were a total of 1027 passengers on board with 802 passengers from British Colonies in the West Indies. Of these individuals, 539 were from Jamaica. The infamous images of the passengers walking down the gangplank the next morning would be the moment the Windrush Generation was born.

Through these women, the experiences of the Windrush Generation come alive, honouring this vital period in British history.

    In this collection of 16 essays, poets discuss psychiatric treatment and their work.  
     
    Poets on Prozac shatters the notion that madness fuels creativity by giving voice to contemporary poets who have battled myriad psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance abuse. 
     
    The sixteen essays collected here address many provocative questions: Does emotional distress inspire great work? Is artistry enhanced or diminished by mental illness? What effect does substance abuse have on esthetic vision? Do psychoactive medications impinge on ingenuity? Can treatment enhance inherent talents, or does relieving emotional pain shut off the creative process? 
     
    Featuring examples of each contributor’s poetry before, during, and after treatment, this original and thoughtful collection finally puts to rest the idea that a tortured soul is one’s finest muse. 
     
    Honorable Mention, 2008 PROSE Award for Best Book in Psychology. 
     
    “A fascinating collection of 16 essays, as insightful as they are compulsively readable. Each is honest and sharply written, covering a range of issues (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis, substance abuse or, in acutely deadpan Andrew Hudgins’s case, “tics, twitches, allergies, tooth-grinding, acid reflux, migraines . . .  and shingles”) along with treatment methods, incorporating personal anecdotes and excerpts from poems and journals. . . . Anyone affected by mental illness or intrigued by the question of its role in the arts should find this volume absorbing.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “Berlin has done a marvelous job of showing us how ordinary poets are; the selected poets have shown us that mental illness shares with other experiences a capacity to reveal our humanity.” —Metapsychology
