  Ronald C. White's American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant is a biography of general, president, and statesman Ulysses S. Grant. During his lifetime, Grant was considered one of the great American leaders, comparable to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. His reputation has fallen over time, but author Ronald White aims to restore him to his former glory. 
   
  Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant in Ohio in 1822. He was the eldest son of Jesse Root Grant, a tanner. Jesse hoped that Ulysses would take over the tannery business, but Ulysses hated the work. Jesse decided that Ulysses should attend West Point and arranged for him to be nominated by Congressman Thomas L. Hamer. Hamer miswrote Grant’s name as Ulysses Simpson Grant, which became his name for the rest of his life.

  New - Understanding Our Need for...

  Follow a crawling baby around and you’ll see that right from the beginning, nothing excites us more than something new and different. Our unique human brains are biologically primed to engage with and even generate novelty, from our ancestors’ first bow and arrow to the latest tablet computer. This “neophilia” has enabled us to thrive in a world of cataclysmic change, but now, we confront an unprecedented deluge of new things, from products to information, which has quadrupled in the past thirty years and shows no sign of slowing. To prevent our great strength from becoming a weakness in today’s fast-paced world, we must reconnect with neophilia’s grand evolutionary purpose: to help us learn, create, and adapt to new things that have real value and dismiss the rest as distractions. 
   
  In New: Understanding Our Need for Novelty and Change, Winifred Gallagher, acclaimed behavioral science writer and author of Rapt, takes us to the cutting-edge laboratories and ancient archeological sites where scientists explore our special affinity for novelty and change. Although no other species can rival our capacity to explore and experiment with the new, we individuals vary in how we balance the conflicting needs to avoid risk and approach rewards. Most of us are moderate “neophiles,” but some 15 percent of us are diehard “neophiliacs,” who have an innate passion for new experiences, and another 15 percent are cautious “neophobes,” who try to steer clear of them—a 1-5-1 ratio that benefits the group’s well-being. Wherever you sit on the continuum, New shows you how to use this special human gift to navigate more skillfully through our rapidly changing world by focusing on the new things that really matter.

  This book will be a great and compelling reading  experience, deeply moving, profoundly intelligent, and totally  entertaining, including fiction and memoir about:    * Brothers by choice, or from different families but  closely bonded by shared experience, work, trauma, love and  marriage.   * Brothers  who describe themselves as "brothers in arms,  blood brothers, a band of brothers, the brother I never had."  The premise of Blauner's commentary and selections is that  brothers and brotherhood is important, and crucial to understanding  ourselves, our families, and our place in the world. Not "a  valentine" but an edgy, challenging, confrontive and intimate  psychological perspective with a big mix of tone, culture, and  narrative style. The key is in the very high quality of the writers  and their work.
