&ldquo;A revelation . . . a book in the Caro mold, using Lady Bird, along with tapes and transcripts of her entire White House diary, to tell the history of America during the Johnson years.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times &ldquo;Sweig makes a persuasive case for Lady Bird&rsquo;s influence not just within her marriage but on her husband&rsquo;s career. In doing so, she forces us to adjust the lens through which we&rsquo;ve viewed one of our most consequential presidencies.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post &ldquo;A superb portrait that elevates Lady Bird&rsquo;s stature as one of the most accomplished first ladies of the twentieth century.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review) &ldquo;With impressive research and admirable skill as a superb storyteller, Sweig&rsquo;s book for the first time captures the full extent of Lady Bird&rsquo;s influence on LBJ&rsquo;s administration and her importance in making the Great Society a landmark moment in American history. Hers is the best book written about Lady Bird Johnson and also a model for how we should understand the influence of First Ladies on the country&rsquo;s turn toward a more humane society.&rdquo;&mdash;Robert Dallek, author of How Did We Get Here?: From Theodore Roosevelt to Donald Trump&ldquo;Sweig has given us a fascinating portrait of a marriage&mdash;and of a shrewd, tough, tender, and wise woman who understood the uses and limits of power. Her biography of Lady Bird Johnson is a magisterial, revealing, and rewarding work.&rdquo;&mdash;Evan Thomas, author of First: Sandra Day O&rsquo;Connor&ldquo;This is the best book ever written about one of the most influential&mdash;and least understood&mdash;First Ladies in history. In Julia Sweig&rsquo;s beautifully rendered, intimate portrait, one can finally take the full measure of Lady Bird Johnson as environmentalist, feminist, and shrewd political strategist on whom her husband always depended but should have heeded more.&rdquo;&mdash;Michael Kazin, Georgetown University, co-author of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s&ldquo;Julia Sweig has gifted us with a most timely and splendidly enhanced portrait of Lady Bird Johnson: daughter of Alabama and Texas wealth&mdash;historian, journalist, activist, speechwriter, campaigner, successful businesswoman. Lady Bird championed the New South and was partner to LBJ&rsquo;s efforts regarding civil rights, human rights, and the Great Society. We learn about Lady Bird&rsquo;s previously unknown work for real environmental change, which extended far beyond &lsquo;beautification&rsquo; and floral plantings&mdash;with profound visions for a Green New Deal. This riveting portrait gives us an important revision of a long-neglected First Lady.&rdquo;&mdash;Blanche Wiesen Cook, author of Eleanor Roosevelt, Vols. 1&ndash;3&ldquo;Sweig has written an inviting, challenging, well-told tale of the thoroughly modern partner and strategist Lady Bird Johnson, whose skill and complexity emerge fully in this rich tale of history and humanity.&rdquo;&mdash;John Dickerson, author of The Hardest Job in the World

We Are Friends: Under the Sea

"Authoritative and approachable. A significant contribution to the literature." - Katherine Bankole, West Virginia University "John Brown Russwurm analyzes the relationship between nineteenth-century colonization societies interested in Africa, which were dominated by whites and advocated Christian morals and American values; African-American settler communities, comprised of persons with varying levels of dedication to these Western codes; and indigenous Africans, who clung to their own beliefs and cultures. At the center of this multifaceted situation stood the African-American John Brown Russwurm. By exploring Russwurm s unique biography, Amos Beyan offers a fresh approach to the historical narrative of Liberia and Maryland in Liberia. This important book is highly recommend for those interested in the history of nineteenth-century African-Americans, the colonization movement, and the African-American settler movement in West Africa." - Yekutiel Gershoni, University of Indiana
 "Study of major 19th century black figures straddling Liberia and the New World has been enriched by Beyan's work on John Brown Russrum. Along with the biographies of Edward Wilmot Blyden and Alexander Crummell, two 19th century intellectuals who left their imprints on both sides of the Atlantic, we now have a competent articulation of the thoughts and actions of a third intellectual of that era." - D. Elwood Dunn, Sewanee-The University of The South

&ldquo;Similar to her groundbreaking comedy specials Douglas and Nanette, Gadsby&rsquo;s memoir reads like a conversation with a longtime friend. . . . A can&rsquo;t-miss memoir that will make readers laugh, cry, and everything in between.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)&ldquo;In this&#160;stunning debut, Emmy Award&ndash;winning comedian Gadsby guides readers on a tour of her life that&rsquo;s every bit as intimate, gutting, and untidy as the performance referenced in the title. . . .This&#160;stirring tale of resilience&#160;laughs in the face of the &lsquo;inspiration porn&rsquo; industry.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;Consistently self-effacing and contemplative, Gadsby acknowledges that her unique brand of deadpan observational comedy isn&rsquo;t for everyone, especially since it often skewers &lsquo;the two most overly sensitive demographics the world has ever known: straight white cis men and self-righteous comedians&rsquo;. . .&#160;A witty and provocatively written life story.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Elegant, entertaining and occasionally brilliant . . . As this book powerfully demonstrates, French history is nothing if not built on paradox and contradiction. Most importantly, Robb reminds us why France still matters.

“Professors Gatchel and Schultz address a growing problem of chronic pain arising from job-related stresses. … This book is meticulously assembled, making it a valuable reference for those engaged in alleviating musculoskeletal pain in their patients as well as others engaged in evaluating and possibly reducing disability disorders in the workplace.” (J. Thomas Pierce, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2016)

"In sum, this book is important for neuropsychologists and psychologists as well as for any student or scholar interested in associative learning. The chapters are well written, adequately illustrated, and fully referenced. In addition to having access to the important body of knowledge produced by Thompson's past collaborators, the reader will have a chance to pry into some of the collegial interactions that took place while this outstanding science was in the making."&#8212;Neural Networks"I found two different books in Model Systems and the Neurobiology of Associative Learning, both equally important and equally intriguing. (The) explicit book is important for neurophysiologists and psychologists as well for anybody interested in associative learning in animals and humans. The chapters are written in a detailed but accessible manner, adequately illustrated and fully referenced. The second, 'implicit book' comprises a series of anecdotes about the interactions between Thompson and the authors of the chapters....wonderful celebration of a scientific life."&#8212;Trends in Neurosciences
