In their study, the authors redeem the most ill-judged man in American history"""" and point out that it was he who took command of the Union forces and probably saved the Union cause. More than the stry of McClellan, it is the story of the nation's capital fearful of invasion, of a Washington dominated by politicians and partisans, and of military intrigue in high places.""""

James Longstreet stood with Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson in the great triumvirate of the Army of Northern Virginia. He fought from First Manassas through Appomattox and served as Lee's senior subordinate for most of that time. In this classic work, first published by UNC Press in 1936, H. J. Eckenrode and Bryan Conrad follow Longstreet from his leading role in the military history of the Confederacy through his controversial postwar career and eventual status as an outcast in Southern society. Though they acknowledge his considerable gifts as a corps commander and absolve him of guilt for the Gettysburg debacle, the authors also call attention to the consequences of Longstreet's unbridled ambition, extreme self-confidence, and stubbornness.

Globe Newswire reports that Dr. Iris Mack's mathematics edutainment book is "turning heads across the country in a response similar to the widely promoted 'Hooked on Phonics, ' that improved children's reading skills." Her unique approach to math became one of Xlibris/Random House Publisher's top children's picture book royalty earners. If there is one word that sums up our recent economic woes, it is interest. There's interest on credit card balances, student loans, car loans, home mortgages, corporate borrowings and most prominently, on state and national debt. But there is surprisingly little interest in this interest. We all pay it. But not many of us really understand how it works. Dr. Iris Mack has filled the gap - and for young consumers. Her financial literacy book "Mama Says Money Doesn't Grow on Trees '' is focused on teaching students that math can be fun and key to understanding money and interest. In today's world of subprime mortgage crises, bankruptcies, massive credit card debt and predatory lending, Dr. Mack's book is more relevant than ever. In "Mama Says Money Doesn't Grow on Trees " a group of smart, animated characters explain how money and interest work, as young consumers are introduced to mathematics and financial literacy. Professor O, Ms. Madonna Sorenson and Dr. Mackamatix lead students Al G Bro, Frakshun, Nada, Queen% and Material Girl Ma$ through a fun-filled math class all about how money and interest work in their everyday lives. "I think the work you do showing how math can be beautiful and practical is great, keep it up " says Javier Tordable, Senior Software Engineer at the Google Corporation. "Making math fun and relevant is a real public service. Old fashioned, boring textbooks aren't the thing that will capture the imagination and engage our children in the fun and yes, joy, in math and problem solving. Iris Mack has created a group of characters and scenarios that will draw young people into the fold of knowledge." says Karen Pritzker- Producer of The My Hero Project and Editor of The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity website. The print and eBook versions of the financial literacy book "Mama Says Money Doesn't Grow on Trees " are available for sale online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com and other channels.
