Sinossi

In "Medical Life in the Navy," Gordon Stables presents a rich tapestry of naval medical practice during the Victorian era, exploring the intricate balance between maritime duty and healthcare. Stables employs a vivid narrative style that interweaves personal anecdotes with clinical observations, drawing readers into the unique challenges faced by medical officers afloat. The book is a significant contribution to the genre of naval literature and medical memoirs, reflecting the complexities and innovations of naval medicine in a time of expanding maritime empires and burgeoning scientific understanding. Gordon Stables, a former naval doctor and prolific author, infuses his work with firsthand experience and a deep-seated admiration for the British Navy. His background in both medicine and literature influenced his portrayal of life at sea, as he highlighted the critical role of medical practitioners in maintaining the health of sailors, often under perilous circumstances. Stables, who embarked on numerous naval expeditions, coupled his passions for adventure and medicine, crafting a narrative that is both educational and engaging. Readers interested in historical medicine, naval history, or the interplay between life and duty will find "Medical Life in the Navy" to be an enlightening read. Stables' engaging prose not only captivates but also informs, shedding light on the often-overlooked role of medical professionals in naval history. This book is an essential addition to any scholarly collection, inviting readers to appreciate the vital contributions of medical officers in the tumultuous environment of life at sea.

    Essays on human alienation, mode of existence, consumerism, narcissism, and more from “both a psychologist of penetration and a writer of ability” (Chicago Tribune). As Erich Fromm points out, ours is “a life between having and being”—between mere having and healthy being, between destructiveness and creativity, between narcissism and productive self-understanding, between passivity and the joy of positive activity. The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist’s views on the fulfilling life. To put down roots yet remain free is what the late Erich Fromm called the art of being. It is the secret of happiness.

    "Empire of the Vampire" by Jay Kristoff tells the story of Gabriel de León, the last of the Silversaints, as he recounts his life to a vampire historian. The narrative is a complex exploration of a world where vampires and humans are locked in a brutal war. Gabriel's story delves into the secrets of his Order, the nature of the Dead, and a hidden history that threatens to destroy everything. 
      
    The plot unfolds as he describes his training as a hunter of the dark and his journey through a land consumed by the endless night. He searches for a way to end the darkness, facing betrayals, loss, and the constant fight against his inner demons. The story explores themes of duty, faith, love, and the struggle against overwhelming odds, and the very real consequences of hatred, violence, and the nature of good and evil.

    Senator Sheldon Whitehouse,...

    Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
     
     
     
    Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
