With a blend of personal accounts, military records, and emotive narratives, the anthology immerses readers in the visceral realities of war, allowing them to traverse battlefields and witness acts of courage that transcend mere historical recounting. The contributing authors, including Theodore Goodridge Roberts and the Canadian War Records Office, bring an authoritative resonance to this collection, rendering voices that echo through time with historical precision and literary eloquence. Military historian Stuart Martin's contributions, alongside those of Robin Richards, are pivotal in bridging the factual with the interpretative, offering insights that align with Canadian literary traditions of war writing and historical reportage. These varied perspectives create a comprehensive lens through which the courage and sacrifices of these soldiers are not merely remembered but indelibly celebrated. This volume is indispensable for readers seeking a multifaceted examination of valor in conflict. It offers an opportunity to explore sharp socio-history and personal stories crafted through diverse styles and perspectives. The anthology stands as a crucial dialogue platform, engaging with diverse literary voices that deepen our understanding of the Canadian contributions to World War I, and serves as an essential resource for both scholars and enthusiasts of history alike.

    Since September 11, 2001, Seymour M. Hersh has riveted readers -- and outraged the Bush Administration -- with his stories in The New Yorker magazine, including his breakthrough pieces on the Abu Gharaib prison scandal. Now, in Chain of Command, he brings together this reporting, along with new revelations, to answer the critical question of the last three years: how did America get from the clear morning when hijacked airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to a divisive and dirty war in Iraq? 
    Hersh established himself at the forefront of investigative journalism thirty-five years ago when he broke the news of the massacre in My Lai, Vietnam, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Ever since, he's challenged America's power elite by publishing the stories that others can't or won't tell. 
    In Chain of Command, Hersh takes an unflinching look behind the public story of President Bush's ""war on terror"" and into the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Command is a devastating portrait of an Administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.

    "A subtle and universal exploration of identity." —Aida Alami, the New York Times 
     
     
     
    Cairo, 1963: four years before her lone novel is finally published, the writer Enayat al-Zayyat takes her own life at age twenty-seven. For the next three decades, it's as if Enayat never existed at all. 
     
     
     
    Years later, when celebrated Egyptian poet Iman Mersal stumbles upon Enayat's long-forgotten Love and Silence in a Cairo book stall, she embarks on a journey of reflection and rediscovery that leads her ever closer to the world and work of Enayat al-Zayyat. 
     
     
     
    In this luminous biographical detective story, Mersal retraces Enayat's life and afterlife though interviews with family members and friend, even tracking down the apartments, schools, and sanatoriums where Enayat spent her days. As Mersal maps two simultaneous psychogeographies—from the glamor of golden-age Egyptian cinema to the Cairo of Mersal's own past—a remarkable portrait emerges of two women striving to live on their own terms. With Traces of Enayat, Iman Mersal embraces the reciprocal relationship between a text and its reader, between past and present, between author and subject.

    Happiness is often seen as a deeply personal and subjective experience, but from a sociological perspective, it is also shaped by broader social structures, cultural norms, and institutional influences. While psychological and biological factors contribute to individual well-being, sociology emphasizes the role of society in shaping what happiness means and how it is experienced. This chapter explores the ways in which social environments, relationships, and economic conditions influence happiness, highlighting the importance of social context in understanding well-being. 
    One of the key aspects of happiness from a sociological standpoint is that it is not simply an internal state but a social construct that varies across time and place. Different societies define happiness in different ways, influenced by cultural values, religious beliefs, and historical traditions. In some cultures, happiness is closely linked to material success and individual achievement, while in others, it is more connected to family, spirituality, or collective well-being. This variation suggests that happiness is not universal but shaped by the social world in which individuals live. 
    Social relationships play a crucial role in determining happiness. Studies have shown that people with strong social connections tend to report higher levels of life satisfaction and well-being. Family, friendships, and community bonds provide emotional support, a sense of belonging, and shared experiences that contribute to happiness. Conversely, social isolation, loneliness, and lack of meaningful relationships can have negative effects on mental and physical health, leading to lower levels of happiness. The sociological perspective on happiness underscores the idea that well-being is not just an individual pursuit but something deeply embedded in social interactions and networks.
