The Armed Forces and American Social Change and Unwritten Truce
critique
Troy Mosley has written a very illuminating book entitled 'The Armed Forces and American Social Change An Unwanted Truce'. He has written a very illuminating piece of learning and history. It is a book that covers military history and society as part of a certain community of people. Troy has written a well-detailed reference book that teaches the readers how our country accepts various people and cultures throughout the years. This would make a good supplemental read for courses in Human services, History, and maybe even a counseling course.
What makes this a great book for the courses mentioned is that is offers graphics that are well-detailed illustrations and explained the text. This is also a book that will give the reader a new way of looking at the veteran no matter what gender, race or creed they happen to be at any period of time during history. Troy has written this book that even non-history readers could become interested in learning more on how we can all learn from the past to make the present better and maybe into the future that will teach acceptance of others.

Dark Obsessions A Kate Barnes Thriller
Who likes a mystery? Marie Sutro has written a murder mystery entitled 'Dark Obsessions' that is a Kate Barnes thriller. This mystery seems to carry on what the main character of Kate Barnes, who is a detective that needs to pull herself together from what happened on a previous case that has affected her in many ways. Kate also has some personal issues to work through and it seems that a trip to the Northwest United States could be the place where answers could be found in more ways than one.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Lingua ex machina
Peter Ayolov, Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" Abstract This article examines the claim that language is not merely a product of human nature and evolutionary adaptation, but a force that, once constituted, begins to shape humans in its own image. Drawing on Elan Barenholtz’s Substack essay ‘Syntax is Dead! Long Live Syntax!’ and the University of Toronto discussion ‘The (Terrifying) Theory That Your Thoughts Were Never Your Own’, the text argues that language initially emerged as an adaptive coordination system but gradually detached from its biological origins through external memory technologies such as writing, print, audio, and video. With the advent of large language models, this autonomy becomes visible for the first time. Syntax appears not as an innate causal engine but as an emergent statistical shadow of predictive systems. Language, understood as an autogenerative informational system, now operates as a cultural and cognitive environment that produces meaning, belief, identity, and even metaphysical concepts such as God. In this sense, language does not reflect reality so much as organise it, creating human subjects through symbolic structures that precede intention and awareness.
