Sinopsis

Under the Bridge: Untold Story Behind the Murder of Reena Virk is a haunting exploration of one of Canada’s most tragic and unsettling crimes. Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old girl, fell victim to a brutal act of violence at the hands of her peers, forever changing the community of Victoria, British Columbia. This book delves deep into the events leading up to that fateful November night, the horrifying attack beneath the Craigflower Bridge, and the aftermath that sparked a national conversation on bullying, youth violence, and the failures of the systems meant to protect vulnerable teens.
Through meticulous research, eyewitness accounts, and court records, Under the Bridge uncovers the untold aspects of Reena’s story—the toxic peer pressures, the hidden struggles of a young girl trying to find acceptance, and the dark realities of adolescent cruelty that shocked the nation. The book also sheds light on the enduring legacy of Reena’s murder, examining how it challenged societal views on youth crime and spurred reform in anti-bullying laws across the country.
This is not just a true crime story; it is a powerful reflection on humanity’s capacity for both violence and empathy. Under the Bridge invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about bullying, peer pressure, and the social dynamics that lead to unspeakable acts, while also honoring the memory of a life tragically cut short.

Malaria - Poverty Race and...

Margaret Humphreys

From a prominent medical historian, “a fascinating story of the spread of malaria through the USA following its introduction in the seventeenth century” (Nature Medicine). 
 
Margaret Humphreys presents the first book-length account of the parasitic, insect-borne disease that has infected millions and influenced settlement patterns, economic development, and the quality of life at every level of American society, especially in the south and during its peak in the nineteenth century. 
 
Humphreys approaches malaria from three perspectives: the parasite’s biological history, the medical response to it, and the patient’s experience of the disease. It addresses numerous questions including how the parasite thrives and eventually becomes vulnerable, how professionals came to know about the parasite and learned how to fight it, and how people view the disease and came to the point where they could understand and support the struggle against it. 
 
In addition Malaria: Poverty, Race, and Public Health in the United States argues that malaria control was central to the evolution of local and federal intervention in public health, and demonstrates the complex interaction between poverty, race, and geography in determining the fate of malaria. 
 
“A masterpiece . . . recommended reading for anyone involved in or interested in health care.”?Southern Medical Journal 
 
“The lack of jargon makes the book accessible to a wide audience.”?Journal of the History of Medicine

Repairing Our Divided Nation -...

David A Ellison

David Ellison wrote Repairing Our Divided Nation because he, like so many others, is frustrated with the division he sees in our nation, particularly when it comes to race and politics. In his desire to help create a better world for all – no matter one’s color or political persuasion – Ellison studied the works of some of the world’s most respected scholars and summaries of notable Supreme Court cases that continue to negatively impact society today.
With malice toward none, Repairing Our Divided Nation offers:
• History lessons that should be required reading for all Americans.
• A demand that Congress stop abdicating its responsibilities.
• A plan for running our elections so the best people are sent to Washington to serve We the People.
• A proposal for improving our schools’ curricula and administration.
• A call for guaranteeing that all Americans, no matter their color, wealth, or zip code, have a real chance at becoming economically self-reliant and living a life with dignity.
Thi book concludes with four of the most important documents in America’s history: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Amendments to the Constitution, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” Ellison believes that if every American did a deep dive into understanding each document’s message, we would have the more perfect Union our Founders envisioned.

The Enchiridion of Epictetus

Arrian, Epictetus

The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the Discourses of Epictetus, it is not a summary of the Discourses but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. The book is thus a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstancesThe Enchiridion appears to be a loosely-structured selection of maxims.[10] In his 6th-century Commentary, Simplicius divided the text into four distinct sections suggesting a graded approach to philosophy:[10]Chapters 1–21. What is up to us and not, and how to deal with external things. 1–2. What is up to us and not, and the consequences of choosing either. 3–14. How to deal with external things (reining the reader in from them). 15–21. How to use external things correctly and without disturbance.Chapters 22–28. Advice for intermediate students. 22–25. The problems faced by intermediate students. 26–28. Miscellania: the common conceptions, badness, and shame.Chapters 30–47. Technical advice for the discovery of appropriate actions (kath?konta). 30–33. Appropriate actions towards (a) other people, (b) God, (c) divination, (d) one's own self. 34–47. Miscellaneous precepts on justice (right actions).Chapters 48–53. Conclusions on the practice of precepts. 48. Final advice and his division of types of people. 49–52. The practice of precepts. 53. Quotations for memorisation.
