  Habit Forming - Drug Addiction...

  Habitual drug use in the United States is at least as old as the nation itself. Habit Forming traces the history of unregulated drug use and dependency before 1914, when the Harrison Narcotic Tax Act limited sales of opiates and cocaine under US law. Many Americans used opiates and other drugs medically and became addicted. Some tried Hasheesh Candy, injected morphine, or visited opium dens, but neither use nor addiction was linked to crime, due to the dearth of restrictive laws. After the Civil War, American presses published extensively about domestic addiction. Later in the nineteenth century, many used cocaine and heroin as medicine. As addiction became a major public health issue, commentators typically sympathized with white, middle-class drug users, while criticizing such use by poor or working-class people and people of color. When habituation was associated with middle-class morphine users, few advocated for restricted drug access. By the 1910s, as use was increasingly associated with poor young men, support for regulations increased. In outlawing users' access to habit-forming drugs at the national level, a public health problem became a larger legal and social problem, one with an enduring influence on American drug laws and their enforcement.

  An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. 
   
   
   
  With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. 
   
   
   
  Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.

  My March Through Hell - A Young...

  A young girl is suddenly all alone and on the run from the Nazis in her hometown in Poland. Having survived an aktion that was intended to completely rid Czestochowa of all the Jews, she and her father try to make their way back to their home during the late hours of the night. 
   
   
   
  Confronted by a policeman, Halina Goldberg unexplainably runs away from her father and begins her long journey of survival. When tired of fleeing, she volunteers to go into a work camp. That decision buys her some time because the Germans need labor for the war effort. Halina works in three different camps from the Fall of 1943 to January 1945. At first, the camps are bearable, even though the prisoners are worked hard and fed very little. But as the Germans begin to lose the war, the conditions turn deathly. The Jews become overrun with disease and their captors grow crueler and crueler. 
   
   
   
  As it becomes clear that the war is lost, the SS empty the camps and set over 2,000 women on a four-month long march that would cover over 800 kilometers during one of Europe's coldest winters on record. Halina was one of the only 300 who survived the Volary Death March and finally felt the need to record her hellish story of survival.

  Gestalt Therapy - Living in the...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  In the bustling cacophony of modern existence, we find ourselves perpetually caught between the shadows of yesterday and the anxieties of tomorrow. Our minds race through endless streams of thoughts, our bodies move through motions disconnected from conscious intention, and our hearts carry the weight of unfinished emotional business. Yet within this chaos lies a profound invitation—an invitation to return home to the present moment, to rediscover the fullness of our immediate experience, and to engage with life as it unfolds right here, right now. 
  Gestalt therapy emerges as a revolutionary approach to human healing and growth, one that challenges the very foundations of how we understand psychological wellness. Rather than diving deep into the archaeological excavation of past traumas or constructing elaborate blueprints for future happiness, Gestalt therapy asks us to turn our attention to what is happening in this very moment. It invites us to become exquisitely aware of our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviors as they arise and evolve in real time. 
  The word "Gestalt" itself carries profound meaning, derived from German and loosely translated as "whole" or "form." It refers to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—that when we perceive something, we don't simply see individual elements but rather a complete, integrated pattern. In the context of therapy and personal growth, this means understanding ourselves not as fragmented collections of symptoms, problems, or behaviors, but as whole, complex beings whose experiences make sense within the larger context of our lives.
