Various Various

Summary

The Constitution of the United States of America is a foundational text that encapsulates the democratic principles and governance structure of one of the world's most enduring republics. Written in the late 18th century, this pivotal document exhibits a formal yet accessible literary style, characterized by its concise language and clear articulation of rights, responsibilities, and the separation of powers. It emerges from the historical context of post-Revolutionary America, reflecting the revolutionary ideals of Enlightenment thinkers and the urgent need for a cohesive national framework to unify the fledgling states after decades of colonial governance. The authorship of this document involved a collective effort by the Founding Fathers, who were deeply influenced by their experiences with monarchy and tyranny. Figures such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton sought to create a system that balanced power among branches of government while ensuring individual liberties. Their collaborative endeavor illustrates a rich tapestry of political philosophy and practical governance borne out of revolutionary fervor, personal experiences, and diverse intellectual traditions. This important document is highly recommended for students, scholars, and any citizen interested in understanding the legal and moral underpinnings of American democracy. It serves not only as a historical artifact but as a living document that continues to inspire debates over civil rights and liberties in contemporary society.

W E B DuBois on Sociology and...

W. E. B. Du Bois

Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois’s conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftieth-anniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“ 
 
The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois’s life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.

How to Analyze People - Learn...

Kevin Hallstone

In this volume, our focus shifts slightly to the actual personality types; everyone should be aware of and susceptible to when they cross our paths. These are the people you probably don't want to know.
Why? They're people who really don't like other people. Well, they do, but what they like about people is exploiting, damaging, and controlling them. They like people for what they can do for them financially, in their careers, and in terms of their status in society.
We've covered some of the general personality types in Book One of our series. That information will have given you some insight into the people you meet and how to read them. But what I've saved for this volume is an examination of those who walk among us who are corrosive and psychologically compromised. Also, in this book, you'll be reading about the role of intuition in detecting the truth about situations and people and how to foster and use it to protect yourself and others from the excesses of the disorders described in this book.
We'll be focusing on personality disorders, the behaviors of those who are burdened with them, and how to see them coming. There are tell-tale signs early on in interactions with these people that can save you a lot of drama and chaos.
As you move along, you'll note an overlap between symptoms and behaviors. In the Cluster B personality disorders, we'll be looking at, the symptomatic overlap is not only common but expected. Further, those who fall under the headings in the cluster often have what is referred to as "co-morbidities." These are the double whammy types, who live with more than one personality challenge or disorder.

Ghostriders 1968-1975 - "Mors De...

William Walter

If necessity is the mother of invention, the AC-130 gunship was definitely her offspring. 
 
Ghostriders: Mors De Caelis is a comprehensive history of AC-130 gunship combat operations in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The story begins with the first AC-130 in 1968, and ends in 1975 at the end of the war in Vietnam. It tells the life and  
death stories of Spectre crews, who faced extreme danger while hunting trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail and providing fire support for US and allied ground forces. Though the AC-130 was credited with 10,000 trucks destroyed, this phenomenal  
achievement came with a hefty price. Fifty-two Spectre crewmen and six AC-130s were lost during combat operations in Laos and Vietnam. 
 
Written in third-person omniscient point of view by an experienced combat veteran and Spectre historian, all aspects of the story are derived from official declassified records and personal interviews. The level of detail and context  
figuratively puts the reader in the aircraft as an observer, flying alongside a Spectre crew in combat. Above all, this is the story of Spectre—accurate, detailed, compelling, and unique.
