Color illustrated wrapper with black and white lettering. 179 very clean unmarked and uncreased informative and educational pages! "Pos…t-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in our returning combat troops is one of the most catastrophic issues confronting our nation. Yet, despite the fact that nearly 20 percent of the over half million troops that have left the military since 2003 have been diagnosed with PTSD, and that many who suffer symptoms are unlikely to seek help because of the stigma of this terrible disease, our government and media have remained silent. Moving A Nation to Care: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and America s Returning Troops is a grassroots call to action designed to break the shameful silence and put the issue of PTSD in our returning troops front and center before the American public. In addition to presenting interviews with Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffering with PTSD, such as Blake Miller, the famous Marlboro Man, this book will be the most comprehensive resource to date for concerned citizens who want to understand the complex political, social, and health-related issues of PTSD, with an eye toward moving our nation to care to do what is necessary to help our fighting men and women who suffer from PTSD. Ilona Meagher is editor of the online journal PTSD Combat: Winning the War Within and author of the PTSD Timeline, a comprehensive database of PTSD incidents. She has appeared on Fox News and numerous other media outlets. Robert Roerich, MD, is one of the world experts in trauma therapy and PTSD and a board member of the National Gulf War Resource Center."

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What does it mean to choose to move to a new country, versus migration by necessity? What does it look like to lack options as a migrant traveling through Mexico? In the thick of the Trump candidacy in 2016, and through the travel bans his administration issued in 2017, Fulbright fellow Kel…sey Freeman was determined to find out. Moving to a small, industrial town in central Mexico, located right along a migration pathway, Freeman spent nine months interviewing countless migrants as they confronted tremendous obstacles to a better life. No Option But Northinterweaves these stories with anecdotes from Freeman's experiences in Mexico to expose the fundamental moral quandaries involved in migration-from the expanding gang violence to the dearth of legal options for working-class Central Americans and Mexicans. In the process, the book takes us on a harrowing journey that strikes at the heart of the human ability to endure. A timely chronicle of contemporary migration from Central America and Mexico that peels back the layers of privilege underlying our migration policies, No Option But North adds powerful color and force to the immigration narrative. Living in Mexico during the early days of Trump administration, Fullbright scholar Kelsey Freeman details the stories of migrants who must flee poverty at home only to become equally vulnerable as they head north.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Slaughterhouse-Five is a seminal novel of contemporary literature, a rumination on war, space, time and the meaning of life and death. In Kurt Vonnegut's existential classic, we meet Billy Pilgrim, a man who has become unmoored in time after being abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfama…dore. In a non-linear universe where time has no meaning, we revisit key moments in Pilgrim's life, in particular his harrowing experience as an American prisoner of war during the firebombing of Dresden in World War II.In this first title in the Bookmarked series, author Curtis Smith examines the influence of Slaughterhouse-Five on his life, writing and relationship with his young son. Of the book, Smith writes, "The best books are invitations. They are time machines. They challenge us to think, to reconsider. Behold Vonnegut's time machine, a narrative of a hundred different frames, a splintered perspective that lifts his whirligig contraption from the ground. He fuels his machine with man's weightiest elements-time, war, death-and then mixes an infusion of lightness, the spark of wit and irony. His machine rattles, taking flight with a shambling grace."The Bookmarked series focuses on a famous work of literature that left a powerful impression on an author (hence the name, Bookmarked-a book that left its mark). Each book in the series is a no-holds barred personal narrative detailing how a particular novel influenced an author on their journey to becoming a writer, as well as the myriad directions in which that journey has taken them.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. You already know republicans are mean. Now find out what they mean. This is a hilarious pocket-sized dictionary debunking and decoding the buzzwords, double meanings, and downright lies of the world's favourite right-wing lunatics. Robert Lasner cuts through the high-falutin' rhetoric and v…erbal contradictions of the Republican Party in this brilliantly funny primer for anyone who has ever listened to President Bush and wondered, "Just what the hell is he talking about?" A plain-talking Codex to the linguistic gymnastics of the leader of the free world, "The Real Republican Dictionary" is the perfect antidote to the months of backtracking, double-stepping and bare-faced denial that English speakers everywhere have been forced to put up with since the infamous "Dubyah" was voted into office. Featuring almost 200 hundred definitions, numerous illustrations, and a revised Bill of Rights (altered to more accurately reflect the current political climate), "The Real Republican Dictionary" offers, finally, an alternate reality to Republican rhetoric - a reality that those in the non-fantasy-based community like to call "then truth".The definitions include: "insurgency" - those who hate us for our freedom (and invading their countries and stealing their oil); "science" - Liberal myths like global warming and evolution that have been clearly disproved by Biblical fact; and, "voting" - the inalienable democratic right of every citizen to have their non-Republican vote invalidated on a technicality. A funny pocket-sized dictionary debunking and decoding the buzzwords, double meanings, and lies of the right-wing lunatics. The author cuts through the rhetoric and verbal contradictions of the Republican Party in this funny primer for those who has listened to President Bush and wondered, just what the hell is he talking about?

Each book in the series examines a single movie through a critical and historical lens, filtered through the author's creative and emotional connection to the film.… The result is a literary memoir that celebrates some of our most beloved and influential movies.Two decades ago,Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind pierced the hearts of audiences with its poignant autopsy of a relationship gone wrong. Yet depending on the angle with which it's watched, the film looks completely different: happy or sad, triumphant or tragic, therapeutic or heart-wrenching.Combining film exegesis with memoir, author and YouTube celebrity Maia Wyman takes a look at Eternal Sunshine as she comes to terms with the tumultuous dissolution of a relationship in her life. Wyman takes the reader on a journey through the making of the film, from inception to production, to internet popularity and beyond. She dissects what the film means to fans, as well as the people who made it-some of whom were, themselves, grappling with difficult breakups. Wyman comes to realize, as the main characters, Joel and Clementine do, that no matter how hard we try, in the end, our painful memories are as important as the happy ones.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "The debate over socialism in America is long overdue. This timely book is a good place to start! Don't miss it!"-Cornel West"This timely book shows how many notable Americans criticized capitalism and endorsed socialism. Just emerging from Cold War taboos surrounding these issues, we confr…ont a global capitalism with its deep flaws (inequality, instability, injustice) now in very blatant forms. Considering capitalism's failures and the socialist alternatives, we can learn much here from how other thoughtful Americans grasped the need for a transition to socialism."-Richard D. Wolff"A little gem of a book! In straightforward prose, Griffin makes a strong case for thoroughly democratizing our economy or, in other words, for establishing the cooperative and socializing arrangements we could call socialism."-Frances Fox Piven"At a moment when we know ecological sustainability and capitalism are incompatible, answering Why America Needs Socialism is an essential piece to how we'll move forward. When we can use prominent voices, as Garrett has, to contribute to the dialogue, it helps us to get a foot in a door that's been sealed shut by Cold War-era propaganda. As folks gain more and more access to information, they are able to debunk myths and misinformation. We're seeing the support for socialism grow every day as a result. G.S. Griffin's book can be another needed contribution to that developing discourse-a discourse that absolutely must lead to action."-Mimi SoltysikFormer Presidential Candidate and National Co-Chair of the Socialist Party USADue to the massive inequality and other issues caused by post-World War II capitalism, today's young people are embracing socialism, which has been reflected in the U.S. by the ascendancy of politicians such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This is not a new trend, however, as historical icons such as Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, Jr., Helen Keller, and Mahatma Gandhi, among many others, spoke boldly against capitalism and in support of socialist ideals.Why America Needs Socialismpresents a contemporary case for socialism built on the words and ideas of history's greatest leaders, thinkers, and artists. Exploring their views and connecting them to present day struggles, this book is crucial reading for anyone seeking to learn from the past in order to change today's world in revolutionary ways. Why Aren't You A Socialist? presents a case for socialism today built on the words and ideas of history's greatest leaders, thinkers, and artists.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Nicknamed "the father of public relations," Edward Bernays (1891-1995) was a pioneer in the fields of propaganda and PR. Combining theories on crowd psychology with the psychoanalytical ideas of his uncle, Sigmund Freud, Bernays elucidated how corporations and politicians could manipulate p…ublic opinion. His seminal 1928 book, Propaganda laid out how propaganda could be used to regiment the collective mind in a variety of areas, including government, politics, art, science and education, while his 1923 classic, Crystallizing Public Opinion , set down the principles that business and government have used to influence public attitudes over the past century. The Edward Bernays Reader: From Propaganda to the Engineering of Consent , is the first comprehensive volume of the writings of this influential and controversial figure. In addition to featuring extended excerpts from Crystallizing Public Opinion and Propaganda , this book also includes the full text of Bernays' classic 1947 essay, "The Engineering of Consent," on the application of scientific principles and practices to the task of getting people to support ideas and programs, as well as extensive selections of his other writings on subjects including education, war propaganda, and polling. Taken together, the material in this bookoffers the most complete look to date at the work of a man whose ideas are considered the single most important influence on modern propaganda, public relations, and spin.

Heartache then follows for their three children, who must each find a way to accept and yet move past their parents' failed example.Along the journey of these ten interconnected stories, the alchemy necessary to turn the family's inheritance of pain into a "generation of gold" requires intervention by the living and dead, the "real" and the mythical, the mundane and the magical, the secular and the sacred.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Before there was the United States, there was America. The former is a country, a nation, a geographic reality, but the latteris an idea. Invented more than discovered, "America" signified a revolutionary ideal of freedom, liberty,equality, and justice, what Tom Paine in Common Sense meant…when he wrote that "We have it in our power to begin the world over again."Among the greatest expressions of that faith was the Declaration of Independence with its promise to forge a nation dedicated to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. American society and culture have always existed within the gulf of our stated aspirations and the actual reality, which has necessitated the forging of prophetic voices from Walt Whitman to Toni Morrison, Herman Melville to James Baldwin. Now, just as we prepare for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United States is succumbing to authoritarianism and the noxious blood-and-soil nationalism which curses the faith in the universal and indispensable America.In response to this moment, noted cultural critic Ed Simon offers a rejoinder in American Elegy: Reflections on 250 Years of the Dis-United States of America. Compiling an assemblage that's less a canon than a cultural mixtape, Simon presents fifty short chapters that are asynchronously organized works of flash criticism, meant to draw connections across time periods, which each celebrate an aspect of the "America" that's larger, deeper,and broader than the mere United States. Here the Great American Novel meets the Great American Songbook; sign language converses with the blues; method acting shares the stage with Afrofuturism, and Superman plays baseball. Defining "literature" as broadly as possible, each of the works profiled critiques the status quo and imagines a better world.As cynical politicians deny the diversity, complexity, and actual beauty of American culture in favor of myths about the nation being made great again, Simon provides not just an elegy, but a challenge and celebration, as well as a repository, an archive, and a call to start over. In the tradition of Gary Wills and Greil Marcus, American Elegy charts a course to a land still undiscovered.
