Nature

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Nature" is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, first published in 1836. In this essay, Emerson explores the idea of nature as a source of inspiration and knowledge for human beings. 
Emerson argues that nature is a reflection of the divine and that by immersing oneself in nature, one can attain a deeper understanding of the world and oneself. He encourages individuals to embrace the beauty of nature and to seek solace in its tranquility. 
Emerson also criticizes society's emphasis on material possessions and commercialism, arguing that it distracts individuals from the natural world and their own spiritual growth. He believes that by returning to nature, individuals can rediscover their true selves and find fulfillment in simplicity. 
Overall, "Nature" is a celebration of the natural world and a call to return to a simpler, more authentic way of living. It continues to be a seminal work in the American transcendentalist movement and has inspired generations of readers to explore the beauty and wonder of the natural world

America's Forgotten Army - The...

Charles Whiting

An enthralling account of the World War Two exploits of the U.S. Seventh Army, from Sicily to France to the final assault on Hitler's mountain retreat, the Eagle's Nest. 
 
 
 
Although overshadowed by the other Allied armies fighting in Europe, the impact of the U.S. Seventh Army on the course of the Second World War deserves to be remembered. 
 
 
 
In Sicily, under the command of General George S. Patton, it swept away Axis forces as it captured village after village. It then moved northwards charging "up the gut" of Nazi-held Europe. 
 
 
 
Charles Whiting uncovers the actions of this overlooked army and its men—charging against dug-in German machine gun nests, launching ferocious attacks on the bloodied snows of the Alps, and fending off terrifying Panzer-led counterattacks. 
 
 
 
This book also draws attention to many of the fascinating figures who led it, from Patton to his successor as commander of the Seventh General Alexander "Sandy" Patch, to the numerous brilliant soldiers that fought under them, including the dynamic Lucian Truscott, daredevil Robert T. Frederick, aggressive "Iron Mike" O'Daniel, talented Frenchman Jacques LeClerc, and America's most decorated soldier, Audie Murphy.

The New Masculinity - A Roadmap...

Alex Manley

From AskMen senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that’s neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring.
		 
Having written and edited for a men’s website for seven and a half years, Manley has seen up close how angry, scared, and lonely men are, and how entrenched in a culture war they feel. This book is a guide for unlearning the habits that perpetuate that harm. There are an infinite number of ways to be a person, but to access them fully, men first need to unlearn the restrictions of modern gender roles and the ways society has taught them to shave parts of themselves off until their masculinity comes before their humanity.
