Beschreibung

The "History of the Fifty-Seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Infantry" is a detailed account that chronicles the experiences, battles, and daily life of one of the Civil War's prominent regiments. Written in a documentary style that combines personal narratives, military records, and historical analysis, this work offers invaluable insights into the social and political context of the era. The text serves not only as a chronological history but also as a poignant reflection on the sacrifices and camaraderie that defined the regiment, evoking the emotional weight of war through firsthand accounts and rich descriptive passages. Published by various contributors, including veterans and historians, the book emerges from a tradition of military storytelling that sought to preserve the memory of those who served. This initiative may have arisen from a strong sense of duty and nostalgia among veterans who wished to ensure that their experiences and the valor of their fallen comrades were remembered by future generations. The collective effort behind the narrative illustrates a commitment to preserving a critical piece of American history. I highly recommend this book to researchers, Civil War enthusiasts, and casual readers alike. Its comprehensive portrayal of the Fifty-Seventh Regiment not only enriches our understanding of military life during the tumultuous period of the Civil War but also serves as a testament to the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.

Witch Hunt - A Traveler's...

Kristen J. Sollee

“An expansive, transformative, and empowering book [that] shares the history of the witch, her magick, and persecution with reverence and respect . . . You will come to understand the witch and her world in a way that feels personal and inviting.” —Gabriela Herstik, author of Bewitching the Elements and Inner Witch Traveling through cities and sites across Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Kristen J. Sollée explores the places and people significant to the early modern legacy of the witch. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, a confluence of political, economic, and religious factors ignited a wildfire of witch hysteria in Europe and, later, in parts of America. At the heart of these witch hunts were often dangerous misconceptions about femininity and female sexuality, and women were disproportionately punished as a result. Today, this lineage of oppression remains a vital reference point in the fight for women’s rights—and human rights—in the Western world and beyond. By infusing an adventurous first-person narrative with extensive research and moments of imaginative historical fiction, Sollée makes an often-overlooked period of history come alive. Written for armchair travelers and on-the-ground explorers alike, Witch Huntnot only uncovers the horrors of history but also reveals how the archetype of the witch has been rehabilitated. For witches are not just haunting figures of the past; the witch is also a liberatory icon and identity of the present. In this paperback edition, the author has included a new afterword and updated the travel resources section.

Code White - Sounding the Alarm...

Margaret M. Keith, James T. Brophy

When health care workers call a Code White, it’s an emergency response for a violent incident: a call for help. But it’s one that goes unanswered in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care homes across the country. Code White exposes a shocking epidemic of violence that’s hidden in plain sight, one in which workers are bruised, battered, assaulted, and demeaned, but carry on in silence, with little recourse or support.
		 
Researchers Margaret M. Keith and James T. Brophy lay bare the stories of over one hundred nurses and personal support workers, aides and porters, clerical workers and cleaners. The nightmarish experiences they relate are not one-off incidents, but symptoms of deep systemic flaws that have transformed health care into one of the most dangerous occupational sectors in Canada.
		 
The same questions echo in the wake of each and every brutal encounter: Is violence and trauma really just “part of the job”? Why is this going underreported and unchecked? What needs to be done, and how?

Skewed: How Bias Distorts Our...

Caryn Franklin MBE, Professor...

An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes, written and presented by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West, with special guests.

• How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on – and does it matter?
• What do Disney films teach us about who is good and who is dangerous?
• Can adverts really change how we think and behave?

Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. This provocative audio original will have you rethinking everything from pornography and pop music to children’s books and fashion.
Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain’s preference for patterns and stereotypes. Exploring biases around gender, sexuality, race, age and appearance, Caryn and Keon explain how bias impacts all of our lives.
Through conversations with a diverse range of voices - from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers – Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish.
Guest interviews include campaigner and life coach Michelle Elman, author academic and drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous, creative director and campaigner Trevor Robinson, forensic psychologist Dr Dominic Willmott and many more.
