Summary

The Journal of Negro History: 1919 is a pivotal compilation that serves as both a historical record and a scholarly resource, chronicling the African American experience in the early 20th century. This volume exemplifies a meticulously structured literary style that balances academic rigor with accessibility, reflecting the journal's commitment to preserving African American history through well-researched articles, primary source documents, and critical essays. As a vital addition to the canon of African American literature, it emerges from a period marked by both the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance, capturing the rich tapestry of African American life, culture, and struggle against systemic racism. The Journal was initiated by prominent historian and civil rights activist Carter G. Woodson, often referred to as the "Father of Black History." His dedication to uncovering and documenting African American contributions has been pivotal in shaping historical discourse. This publication not only reflects Woodson's scholarly ambitions but also his desire to educate a broader audience about the significance of black history. His work was catalyzed by personal experiences growing up in a segregated America, highlighting the importance of intellectual activism in combating societal prejudice. I highly recommend The Journal of Negro History: 1919 to anyone interested in understanding the complexities of African American history. This volume is essential for historians, educators, and anyone seeking insight into the historical struggles and achievements that have shaped contemporary America. Engaging with this journal will deepen your appreciation for the resilience and richness of African American identity, a narrative that remains relevant in today's discussions on race and equality.

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLEY AWARD FOR BEST TRUE CRIME 
 
How the New South Wales Police Force's finest solved murders in one of the most tumultuous periods in Australian history.  
 
As Australia sank into the darkest days of the Great Depression, a succession of bloody mysteries grabbed headlines and gripped the country. The Hammer Horror, The Bungendore Bones, The Park Demon, The Human Glove and The Pyjama Girl – these were just some of the grisly cases that had to be solved by the Sydney detectives of The Murder Squad.  
 
With the people, press and politicians screaming for justice and vengeance, homicide chief Tom McRae and his colleagues used bold new investigative tools in the massive manhunts for these maniacal killers. Working under intense pressure, hard-nosed and hard-charging cops solved some cases brilliantly – yet others were 'closed' with dodgy convictions while several shadowy figures were to get away with murder.  
 
Set against the backdrop of our greatest economic crisis, as the federal and state governments headed for a showdown and fascist and communist thugs threatened civil war, The Murder Squad reopens the files on Australia's most chilling forgotten crimes to ask who was guilty, who was innocent, and whether some cops were as dangerous as the monsters they were hunting.

    The first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life
		 
Part memoir, part history, part political manifesto, Seeking Social Democracy offers the first full-length treatment of Ed Broadbent’s ideas and remarkable seven-decade engagement in public life. In dialogue with three collaborators from different generations, Broadbent leads readers through a life spent fighting for equality in Parliament and beyond: exploring the formation of his social democratic ideals, his engagement on the international stage, and his relationships with historical figures from Pierre Trudeau and Fidel Castro to Tommy Douglas, René Lévesque, and Willy Brandt. From the formative minority Parliament of 1972–1974 to the contentious national debate over Canada’s constitution to the free trade election of 1988, the book chronicles the life and thought of one of Canada’s most respected political leaders and public intellectuals from his childhood in 1930s Oshawa to the present day. Broadbent’s analysis also points toward the future, offering lessons to a new generation on how principles can inform action and social democracy can look beyond neoliberalism. The result is an engaging, timely, and sweeping analysis of Canadian politics, philosophy, and the nature of democratic leadership.

    There will almost certainly be more pandemics in our future. Yet, during the coronavirus crisis, not a single major public-health official took the simple step of telling Americans what we all need to hear: robust good health?healthy immunity, low inflammation, low toxic burden, and freedom from stealth infection and chronic disease?is our best defense against infectious viral disease. The way our bodies interact with infectious disease is complicated?both a function of the “germ” and the “terrain”?the virus and the host. In The Virus and the Host, Dr. Chlebowski succinctly describes emerging science on the virome and how toxic exposure, chronic inflammation, infections, and chronic diseases interact and predispose us to poor outcomes from acute viral infection. He then clearly outlines the tools needed for better health, including these: -The best nutrients to supercharge your immunity -How to harness the power of botanical medicine -How to detoxify simply and safely at home -Valuable information on simple treatment and recommended diagnostic tests for given conditions As we move forward from the tragedy of COVID-19, it is essential that we come together to learn from our mistakes and work hard?and work together?to prevent a similar crisis in the future. When the next pandemic hits, we need to be better prepared. Now is the time to do something, and it is the best investment we can make so that when the next one hits we can keep our loved ones and ourselves safe and healthy.
