Sinopsis

In "Heroines of 'Mormondom,'" various authors collaborate to illuminate the lived experiences of women within the Latter-day Saint (LDS) tradition. Through a series of biographical sketches and narratives, the book captures the multifaceted roles of these heroines, emphasizing their contributions to family, community, and faith in the face of societal challenges. The literary style combines elements of personal anecdotes, historical analysis, and cultural commentary, providing readers with a textured understanding of how these women navigated the complexities of their environment in a period often overshadowed by male narratives. The context of the book is rooted in the broader examination of women's roles in religious communities and the struggle for recognition in both public and private spheres. The authors of this compilation, many of whom are scholars of religious studies and gender studies, bring a deep understanding of the intersecting dynamics of faith, community, and gender. Their commitment to chronicling these stories stems from a desire to acknowledge the voices and contributions of women, often overlooked in traditional historical accounts. The book thus serves to reclaim the narrative of women in the Mormon faith, bringing their rich heritage to the forefront. "Heroines of 'Mormondom'" is a must-read for anyone interested in religious studies, women's history, or the intersection of faith and culture. It offers a profound appreciation for the strength and resilience of women in the LDS tradition, inviting readers to reflect on the vital roles they play in shaping communities and narratives. This anthology not only enhances our understanding of Mormon history but also serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of women's voices in any faith tradition.

Based on diary entries, news articles, published sources, interviews, and personal memories from the author and other family members, Crossing the Yellowstone: The Saga of a Montana Ranch Family is a classic American drama of challenges met and legacies left. In 1894, Andy Mercer journeyed on horseback from Missouri to the Great Plains, with plans to homestead in the West. Crossing the Yellowstone is a love story of land, family, and one man’s dream. This narrative tells a true story set in the American West in the early 20th century, illustrating the core values of the settlers: independence, determination, and respect for the land.
 
Andy’s love for Florrie, an English nurse, turns tragic when she dies, leaving him alone with a motherless infant, Russell. The child grows from a lonely schoolboy to a reluctant cowboy and eventually must choose whether to stay on the family ranch or strike out in search of a different life. Despite the challenges of the drought during the Dirty Thirties and the Great Depression, Andy’s legacy has endured for three generations on the Montana ranch near the Yellowstone River.

An investigation into the nature of violence, terror, and trauma through conversations with a notorious war criminal and hero to white nationalists. 
 
Between October 2014 and November 2016, global terrorism expert Jessica Stern held a series of conversations in a prison cell in The Hague with Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb former politician who had been indicted for genocide and other war crimes during the Bosnian War and who became an inspiration for white nationalists. Though Stern was used to interviewing terrorists in the field in an effort to understand their hidden motives, the conversations she had with Karadzic would profoundly alter her understanding of the mechanics of fear, the motivations of violence, and the psychology of those who perpetrate mass atrocities at a state level and who—like the terrorists she had previously studied—target noncombatants, in violation of ethical norms and international law. 
How do leaders persuade ordinary people to kill their neighbors? What is the “ecosystem” that creates and nurtures genocidal leaders? Could anything about their personal histories, personalities, or exposure to historical trauma shed light on the formation of a war criminal’s identity in opposition to a targeted Other? 
In My War Criminal, Jessica Stern brings to bear her incisive analysis and her own deeply considered reactions to her interactions with Karadzic, a brilliant and often shockingly charming psychiatrist and poet who spent twelve years in hiding, disguising himself as an energy healer, while also offering a deeply insightful and sometimes chilling account of the complex and even seductive powers of a magnetic leader—and what can happen when you spend many, many hours with that person.
