From one of our most acclaimed and original colonial historians, a groundbreaking book tracing the critical "long year" of 1774 and the revolutionary change that took place from the Boston Tea Party and the First Continental Congress to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In this masterly work of history, the culmination of more than four decades of research and thought, Mary Beth Norton looks at the sixteen months leading up to the clashes at Lexington and Concord in mid-April 1775. This was the critical, and often overlooked, period when colonists traditionally loyal to King George III began their discordant “discussions” that led them to their acceptance of the inevitability of war against the British Empire. Drawing extensively on pamphlets, newspapers, and personal correspondence, Norton reconstructs colonial political discourse as it took place throughout 1774. Late in the year, conservatives mounted a vigorous campaign criticizing the First Continental Congress. But by then it was too late. In early 1775, colonial governors informed officials in London that they were unable to thwart the increasing power of local committees and their allied provincial congresses. Although the Declaration of Independence would not be formally adopted until July 1776, Americans had in effect “declared independence ” even before the outbreak of war in April 1775 by obeying the decrees of the provincial governments they had elected rather than colonial officials appointed by the king. Norton captures the tension and drama of this pivotal year and foundational moment in American history and brings it to life as no other historian has done before.

After leaving horses behind for many years to pursue her medical career, Dr. Beth Glosten decided it was time to ride again only to discover that, as a middle-aged woman, she struggled with tension, awkwardness, and an aching back. Dr. Glosten’s own frustration with riding prompted her to apply her clinical research skills to figure out what it would take to not only create the harmonious picture of horse and rider moving together, but also feel good while doing it. In this book, Dr. Glosten shows others how best to improve their posture and position in order to prevent unnecessary physical degeneration, ensuring they can ride, and ride well, for many years to come. Readers will find basic rider anatomy that is easy to understand, as well as over 50 step-by-step exercises geared toward developing riding skills. Plus, Dr. Glosten has developed a systematic “Rider Checklist” to help you keep track of your position and function in the saddle. Throughout, case studies share rider stories that illustrate the kinds of physical challenges experienced in the saddle in midlife, and how they can be met with proactive, pain-free solutions. The result is a remarkably valuable book.
The American prison system today contains an estimated quarter of a million people who suffer from mental illness. In this searing critique, Mary Beth Pfeiffer shows how people suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, clinical depression and other serious psychological illnesses are regularly incarcerated simply because alternative care is not available and how, once behind bars, they are punished again and again for behavior that is psychotic, not criminal. Drawing on numerous case studies--ranging from the story of a fifty-six-year-old killer who thought he was Jesus Christ to a schizophrenic who plucked her eyes out while in solitary confinement--Pfeiffer brings to light the wider failures behind a burgeoning crisis. The growing lack of proper help for the mentally ill in society at large has led to the wrongful imprisonment of unprecedented numbers of people whose crimes are the result of psychosis. Pfeiffer also lays bare the woeful absence of proper psychiatric care within the prison system. Correctional officers, lacking the training and even basic understanding to deal with disturbed inmates, routinely resort to punitive measures, like solitary confinement, that are psychologically devastating. Crazy in America is an indictment of a society that incarcerates its weakest and most vulnerable citizens--causing them to emerge sicker, more damaged, and even potentially more violent than when they were first imprisoned. It is a compelling and important examination of a shocking human rights abuse in our midst--our persecution of those we are unable, or unwilling, to help.
