Sinopsis

The Winning of the West (Complete Edition) is a seminal work by Theodore Roosevelt that chronicles the expansion of the American frontier from the time of the early settlers through the period of the American Civil War. Combining meticulous historical detail with a vigorous prose style, Roosevelt presents a narrative that captures the spirit of adventure and the struggles of diverse figures including settlers, Native Americans, and soldiers. The book is marked by its romanticized depiction of the frontier experience, intertwining personal anecdotes from Roosevelt's own life with sweeping historical analysis, which reflects the era's burgeoning nationalism and the ideology of American exceptionalism. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a Westerner and naturalist. His background as a historian and an avid outdoorsman fueled his passion for documenting the history of the American West. Roosevelt's own health challenges and a formative journey through the Badlands of North Dakota instilled in him a profound appreciation for the rugged individualism and tenacity that characterized the frontier spirit, which he sought to portray in this influential work. Readers who seek a comprehensive and captivating understanding of America's westward expansion will find The Winning of the West to be an indispensable resource. Roosevelt's engaging narrative style and his insightful reflections on national identity make this book an essential read for historians, students, and anyone interested in the complexities of American history and ideology.

The Messianic Character of...

R. J. Rushdoony

Rushdoony's study tells us an important part of American history: exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish? Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the U.S. were state supported or state controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote "democracy" and "equality," not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educators design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms. This book was instrumental in launching the Christian school and homeschool movements.

Multiple sclerosis (MS), a progressive neurologic disease, is characterized by a host of physical symptoms. But the neurobehavioral consequences of MS can be as devastating and debilitating as physical symptoms, and they are often unreported and undertreated. In this new book, Dr. Anthony Feinstein, a neuropsychiatrist, documents the effects of MS on cognition, information processing speed, learning and memory, executive function, personality, mood, and behavior.
Feinstein touches on a number of topics, including
•    the common cognitive challenges that occur with MS, such as slowed information processing speed, impaired memory, and executive function deficits 
•    psychiatric disorders that accompany MS, such as depression and psychosis
•    current neuropsychological, brain MRI, and treatment data applicable to the psychiatric and cognitive disorders
Mind, Mood, and Memory in Multiple Sclerosis is enhanced both by the latest science and by eloquent case histories that illustrate each cognitive and emotional disorder. Feinstein also provides recommendations for evidence-based therapeutic interventions. Written in an immediate, accessible way, this book has a crossover appeal, making it of interest not only to neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, neuropsychologists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and nurses but also to people with MS and their caregivers, family, and friends.
