  "Eye-opening… a nuanced way to expand the views of even a hardened atheist." Kirkus Reviews 
  "A taboo-smashing book." Bookbag 
  Spiritual Atheist is a ground-breaking philosophical memoir that draws on the author's knowledge of cutting-edge neuroscience, physics, and psychology; his insights into wisdom traditions like Taoism, Buddhism, and Zen; and twenty years experience leading hundreds of major organizations, and tens of thousands of individuals, to transform themselves. 
  If you trust science, and relish reason, but also sense that your life has purpose, your consciousness is real and that love is a force for good - all phenomena that conventional atheism denies - then spiritual atheism can help you have it all without dogma or superstition of any kind. Not limited to revolutionizing your own happiness and wellbeing, spiritual atheism can ensure that, together, we recalibrate capitalism, reinvent politics, and make AI, business, and technology work for all. 
  This book is ideal for those looking for answers to the biggest questions in life; and who want to be part of the solution for our broken world.

  For years the Ewing family of Ohio has been lost in the historical  shadow cast by their in-law, General William T. Sherman. In the era of  the Civil War, it was the Ewing family who raised Sherman, got him into  West Point, and provided him with the financial resources and political  connections to succeed in war. The patriarch, Thomas Ewing, counseled  presidents and clashed with radical abolitionists and southern  secessionists leading to the Civil War. Three Ewing sons became Union  generals, served with distinction at Antietam and Vicksburg, marched  through Georgia, and fought guerrillas in Missouri. The Ewing family  stood at the center of the Northern debate over emancipation, fought for the soul of the Republican Party, and waged total war against the  South.In Civil War Dynasty, Kenneth J. Heineman brings  to life this drama of political intrigue and military valor—warts and  all. This work is a military, political, religious, and family history,  told against the backdrop of disunion, war, violence, and grief.

  A comprehensive look at Royal Navy warships in the pre-dreadnought era, with extensive photos and illustrations.   The Russian war scare of 1884 and the public’s anxiety about the Royal Navy’s ability to fight a modern war at sea resulted in the Naval Defense Act of 1889 and a vast program of warship construction. Over the next twenty years a fleet of 52 battleships was built, construction finally interrupted by the revolutionary Dreadnought design.   In this volume, the author presents full details of design and construction, armament, protection, machinery and performance, all backed up with accurate data tables listing design figures, trials results, and full particulars at different stages in the ships’ careers. The history of each battleship is chronicled and the reader is reminded of their major contribution in the First World War. They bore the brunt of the action at the Dardenelles, bombarded the Belgium coast, patrolled the North Sea and the Channel, reinforced the Italian Fleet, and served in East Africa, the East Indies, and the White Sea. Most were extensively modified during the war and this variety has made them of special interest to the historian, enthusiast, and ship modeler. With the addition of many new photographs from the author's massive collection, this new edition is a must-have addition to every naval library.

  PTSD - A Short History

  Allan V. Horwitz

  • 0

  Post-traumatic stress disorder—and its predecessor diagnoses, including soldier's heart, railroad spine, and shell shock—was recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The psychic impacts of train crashes, wars, and sexual shocks among children first drew psychiatric attention. Later, enormous numbers of soldiers suffering from battlefield traumas returned from the world wars. It was not until the 1980s that PTSD became a formal diagnosis, in part to recognize the intense psychic suffering of Vietnam War veterans and women with trauma-related personality disorders. PTSD now occupies a dominant place in not only the mental health professions but also major social institutions and mainstream culture, making it the signature mental disorder of the early twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  In PTSD, Allan V. Horwitz traces the fluctuations in definitions of and responses to traumatic psychic conditions. Arguing that PTSD, perhaps more than any other diagnostic category, is a lens for showing major historical changes in conceptions of mental illness, he surveys the conditions most likely to produce traumas, the results of those traumas, and how to evaluate the claims of trauma victims.

  Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Chinese. 
   
   
   
  Travel back to AD 17, during the fourth year of the reign of Wang Mang of the Han dynasty, a vibrant and innovative era full of conflicts and contradictions. But as different as the Han culture might have been to other great ancient civilizations, the inhabitants of ancient China faced the same problems as people have for time immemorial: earning enough money, coping with workplace dramas, and keeping your home in order—although the equivalent in this era was more about bribing inspectors, avoiding bullying from abusive watchmen, and trying to keep your house from being looted by Huns. 
   
   
   
  In each chapter we meet one of twenty-four citizens of this ancient culture, from the midwife to the soldier, the priest to the performer, and the blacksmith to the tomb looter, and see what an average day in ancient China was really like.
