Summary

In "At Gettysburg - What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle," Tillie Pierce Alleman provides a vivid and personal account of one of the Civil War's most pivotal battles. Written in an engaging narrative style, the book is both a memoir and a historical document, detailing the chaos and horror experienced by civilians in Gettysburg during the summer of 1863. With keen observations and emotionally charged prose, Alleman captures the tumult of war through the innocent eyes of a young girl, deftly juxtaposing her youthful wonder with the stark realities of life and death that enveloped her town. Her account not only illuminates individual experiences but also enriches the broader context of American history, reflecting the societal upheavals of the time. Tillie Pierce Alleman, a native of Gettysburg, was a mere fifteen years old when the battle unfolded in her hometown. Her perspective as a young girl thrust into such a monumental event offers a unique lens through which to understand the human costs of war. Driven by her own experiences, her writings serve as both a personal testament and a means of preserving the collective memory of her community while also confronting the broader implications of conflict and resilience. This book is an indispensable read for anyone interested in Civil War history, women's narratives, or the impact of warfare on civilian life. By offering a blend of innocence and insight, Alleman invites readers to engage with history in an intimate way, making it an essential addition to both academic and personal libraries.

    J.B. Rhine (1895 - 1980), widely considered to be the "Father of Modern Parapsychology," was the world’s leading investigator of psychic phenomena, ESP and the paranormal. He founded the parapsychology research lab at Duke University and the Journal of Parapsychology. Dr. Rhine, who coined the term "extrasensory perception" (ESP) to describe the apparent ability of some people to acquire information without the use of the known five senses), wrote several books on ESP and the paranormal. Rhine investigated ghosts, telepathy, poltergeists, and other unseen parapsychology phenomena from 1927 to 1965 at his Duke laboratory, and for several years after that at a private laboratory. The following was recorded from a Rhine lecture on psychokinesis and his ESP experiments.

    Fridays of Rage provides a glimpse into how Al Jazeera strategically cast its journalists as martyrs in the struggle for Arab freedom while promoting itself as the mouthpiece and advocate of the Arab public. 
 
 
 
In addition to heralding a new era of Arab democracy, Al Jazeera has become a major influence over Arab perceptions of American involvement in the Arab World, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the rise of global Islamic fundamentalism, and the expansion of the political far right. Al Jazeera's blueprint for "Muslim-democracy" was part of a vision announced by the network during its earliest broadcasts. The network embarked upon a mission to reconstruct the Arab mindset and psyche. Al Jazeera introduced exiled Islamist leaders to the larger Arab public while also providing Muslim feminists a platform. 
 
 
 
The inclusion and consideration of Westerners, Israelis, Hamas, secularists, and others earned the network a reputation for pluralism and inclusiveness. Al Jazeera presented a mirror to an Arab world afraid to examine itself and its democratic deficiencies. But rather than assuming that Al Jazeera is a monolithic force for positive transformation in Arab society, Fridays of Rage examines the potentially dark implications of Al Jazeera's radical re-conceptualization of media as a strategic tool or weapon.

    GE2020: an election that should not be forgotten for yielding startling outcomes, including the appointment of the first Leader of the Opposition. 
 
 
Voting in a Time of Change is part of a longitudinal study by editors Kevin YL Tan and Terence Lee, who have been assembling trenchant analyses of each General Election by leading academics and commentators since GE2011. Their long game makes possible specific and unique insights. Of GE2020, this is what they have to say: 
 
 
“The major political shift in Singapore that started in 2011 is marching on, even amidst a Covid-19 pandemic that was to have been a great disrupter. Whether we call this a ‘New Normal’ – as many did back in 2011 – or otherwise is not as important as the momentum for change that has built up since then. Covid-19 thus became a political backdrop to a social and political shift that was merely searching for a catalyst.” 
 
 
What insights and lessons can we carry forward to the next General Elections? This is an indispensable milestone publication for citizens who wish to commit to even more informed choices, and for political observers who are keeping close tabs on the evolution of our political landscape.
