  Why People Die by Suicide

  Thomas Joiner

  In the wake of a suicide, the most troubling questions are the most difficult to answer: How could we have known? What could we have done? And always: Why? Written by a clinical psychologist whose own life has been touched by suicide, this book offers the clearest account ever given of why some people choose to die. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on clinical and epidemiological evidence, as well as personal experience, Thomas Joiner brings a comprehensive understanding to seemingly incomprehensible behavior. Among the many people who have considered, attempted, or died by suicide, he finds three factors that mark those most at risk of death: the feeling of being a burden on loved ones; the sense of isolation; and, chillingly, the learned ability to hurt oneself. Joiner tests his theory against diverse facts taken from clinical anecdotes, history, literature, popular culture, anthropology, epidemiology, genetics, and neurobiology—facts about suicide rates among men and women; white and African-American men; anorexics, athletes, prostitutes, and physicians; members of cults, sports fans, and citizens of nations in crisis. The result is the most coherent and persuasive explanation ever given of why and how people overcome life's strongest instinct, self-preservation. Joiner's is a work that makes sense of the bewildering array of statistics and stories surrounding suicidal behavior.

  WW2 Atrocities - Unspeakable...

  This book contains the following two titles: 
  - The Holocaust: The devastating events of World War II, particularly the Holocaust, left an indelible mark on the history of humanity. This chapter sets the stage for understanding the roots of hatred that led to one of the most horrific genocides in human history, and the role of ordinary people in shaping the course of events during the war. The Holocaust was not just an isolated act of mass murder; it was the culmination of a complex set of political, social, and cultural factors that had been brewing for decades. To grasp the magnitude of the atrocities, we must first look at the deep-seated prejudices and ideologies that laid the groundwork for such violence. 
  - Prisoners of War: Throughout history, the experiences of prisoners of war (POWs) have captured the complexities of human endurance, resilience, and the moral challenges of conflict. In the midst of war, being taken captive often represents a turning point—one where survival becomes an individual’s primary focus, yet the determination to resist the enemy may persist despite overwhelming odds. This book explores the world of POWs, examining the strategies they employed to endure, resist, and sometimes escape the harsh conditions imposed by their captors.

  The Tainos - Rise and Decline of...

  Irving Rouse

  Drawing on archeological and ethno-historical evidence, Irving Rouse sketches a picture of the Tainos—the first people Columbus encountered when he arrived in the Americas—as they existed during the time of Columbus, contrasting their customs with those of their neighbors. He then moves backward in time to the ancestors of the Tainos—two successive groups who settled the West Indies and who are known to archeologists as the Saladoid peoples and the Ostionoid peoples. By reconstructing the development of these groups and studying their interaction with other groups during the centuries before Columbus, Rouse shows precisely who the Tainos were. He vividly recounts Columbus's four voyages, the events of the European contact, and the early Spanish views of the Tainos, particularly their art and religion. The narration shows that the Tainos did not long survive the advent of Columbus. Weakened by forced labor, malnutrition, and diseases introduced by the foreigners, and dispersed by migration and intermarriage, they ceased to exist as a separate population group. 
   
   
   
  As Rouse discusses the Tainos' contributions to the Spaniards—from Indian corn, tobacco, and rubber balls to art, artifacts, and new words—we realize that their effect on Western civilization, brief through their contact, was an important and lasting one.
