    Eric Foner Summary

    • 434 Words

    This book closely examines Lincoln's writings and speeches and avoids direct engagement with previous Lincoln historians. Eric Foner stated that "His intent is to return Lincoln to his historical setting, tracing the evolution of his ideas in the context of the broad antislavery impulse and the unprecedented crisis the United States confronted during his adult life." (Foner prefacexvii) That being said, Foner said he wanted to isolate Lincoln's exact thinking on slavery at different times in his life, while also trying to break this image of Lincoln that he feels scholars have all given him. Often by referencing Lincoln to themselves, thinking they understand the way Lincoln felt and thought about slavery.…

    A career as a physician’s assistant is one of just a few careers that allow you to treat injuries or diagnose illnesses and even assist in surgeries alongside a certified doctor, all without an going through an insane amount of medical school, internships, tests and programs as a normal doctor would.

Physician assistant work may be demanding both physically and emotionally, therefore, stability is necessary. Varying in facilities, physician’s assistants are required to work full time, crazy hours or sometimes-on call.

    Before reading The Ohlone Way: Indian Life in the San Francisco-Monterey Bay Area by Malcolm Margolin, I never knew about the Ohlone. I did not even know much about Native Americans.

Prescription drug abuse is a big concern for not only being tackled at the national level, but also the individual states.
