Sinopsis

The definitive account of the incomparable Lone Star state by the author of Fire & Blood: A History of Mexico. T. R. Fehrenbach is a native Texan, military historian and the author of several important books about the region, but none as significant as this work, arguably the best single volume about Texas ever published. His account of America's most turbulent state offers a view that only an insider could capture. From the native tribes who lived there to the Spanish and French soldiers who wrested the territory for themselves, then to the dramatic ascension of the republic of Texas and the saga of the Civil War years. Fehrenbach describes the changes that disturbed the state as it forged its unique character. Most compelling is the one quality that would remain forever unchanged through centuries of upheaval: the courage of the men and women who struggled to realize their dreams in The Lone Star State.

  • Why Smart People Don't Have Many Friends - The Social Challenges of High Intelligence - cover

    Why Smart People Don't Have Many...

    The paradox of intelligence and friendship has puzzled both scholars and individuals for generations. While high intelligence is often associated with success and achievement, it can also come with a significant social challenge: the difficulty of forming and maintaining meaningful friendships. For highly intelligent people, the complex nature of their cognitive abilities can create barriers that make social interactions more challenging. Despite their many strengths, these individuals often find themselves isolated, misunderstood, and distanced from others who may not share the same intellectual capacity or way of thinking. 
      
    At the heart of this dilemma lies the disconnect between cognitive intelligence and social intelligence. While a high IQ may contribute to success in academic or professional settings, it doesn't necessarily translate into an ability to navigate the nuances of social interactions. Many highly intelligent people find themselves struggling with small talk, social expectations, and the emotional needs of others. In fact, the more an individual is absorbed in intellectual pursuits, the more likely they are to experience a sense of isolation and a lack of genuine connection with those around them. 
      
    Furthermore, emotional intelligence—the ability to recognize and manage one’s emotions and understand those of others—is often underdeveloped in highly intelligent individuals. This creates a gap in understanding social cues, empathy, and the emotional nuances of human interaction. As a result, even when these individuals desire connection, they may inadvertently alienate others or fail to form the deep, meaningful relationships they long for.

  • The Philosophy Foundation - Thoughtings- Puzzles Problems and Paradoxes in Poetry to Think With - cover

    The Philosophy Foundation -...

    The name 'Thoughtings' was inspired by a 5-year old who, when asked to explain what thinking is without using the word 'think' said 'It's when you're thoughting'. Children love pondering big philosophical questions like 'Does the universe end?', 'Where is my mind?' and 'Can something be true and false at the same time?'. These verses capture that impulse in the growing mind and feed it further. These are not poems or, at least, not in the traditional sense of the word... They are a kind of poem specifically designed around a particular puzzle or problem that might be thought more philosophy than poetry. Here's to the joy of puzzlement!

    A rollicking exploration of the history and future of our favorite foods. 
     
     
     
    When we humans love foods, we love them a lot. In fact, we have often eaten them into extinction, whether it is the megafauna of the Paleolithic world or the passenger pigeon of the last century. In Lost Feast, food expert Lenore Newman sets out to look at the history of the foods we have loved to death and what that means for the culinary paths we choose for the future. Whether it's chasing down the luscious butter of local Icelandic cattle or looking at the impacts of modern industrialized agriculture on the range of food varieties we can put in our shopping carts, Newman's bright, intelligent gaze finds insight and humor at every turn. 
     
     
     
    Bracketing the chapters that look at the history of our relationship to specific foods, Lenore enlists her ecologist friend and fellow cook, Dan, in a series of "extinction dinners" designed to recreate meals of the past or to illustrate how we might be eating in the future. Part culinary romp, part environmental wake-up call, Lost Feast makes a critical contribution to our understanding of food security today. You will never look at what's on your plate in quite the same way again.

    In 432 BCE the powerful city-state of Sparta on the peninsula of the Peloponnesus in southwestern Greece declared war on Athens, head of a mighty naval coalition. The war would last until Sparta finally brought Athens to its knees in 404. The Athenian aristocrat Thucydides, suspecting the magnitude of the conflict that was unfolding before his eyes, at once undertook to record its history, exploring the causes and course of the war in the context of his great interest: human nature. An introduction to Thucydides's thought and background, this book examines Thucydides's account of the war in the context both of the international situation in the classical Greek world and of the intellectual traditions of the fifth century BCE, exploring the historian's connection to prose writers like Herodotus as well as poets like Homer and the tragedians, and investigating the complex dynamics of the war that changed the Greek world forever.
