Summary

In Alice Turner Curtis's evocative work, "A Yankee Girl at Shiloh," readers are transported to the tumultuous backdrop of the American Civil War through the eyes of a young girl, the book's resilient protagonist. Blending historical detail with vivid imagery, Curtis's literary style is characterized by direct yet lyrical prose that captures the dualities of war'Äîboth its brutal realities and its impact on human relationships. Set against the pivotal battle of Shiloh, the narrative deftly intertwines personal growth and historical events, offering an engaging portrayal of a young woman finding her agency amidst chaos. Alice Turner Curtis, a notable writer of the early 20th century, was deeply influenced by her own experiences and the narratives surrounding the Civil War, which shaped her understanding of social issues, particularly gender roles. Born into a literary family, her passion for storytelling and dedication to portraying the female experience in history likely spurred her to craft a tale that resonates with themes of courage and resilience. Her works often reflect her strong sense of place and character, animated by a desire to illuminate the voices of those often marginalized in traditional narratives. For readers seeking an engaging and thoughtful exploration of the Civil War from a unique perspective, "A Yankee Girl at Shiloh" is a compelling choice. Curtis'Äôs blend of rich historical context, poignant character development, and exploration of feminine strength presents an enriching experience that invites reflection on the past while engaging with the enduring spirit of determination.

    How do we model abundance and generosity — in teaching, in learning, in leading organizations, particularly non-profits — when dealing with fiscal austerity and other forms of scarcity thinking? Hope Circuits explores this question, presenting sophisticated ideas that support democratizing higher education for everybody.
		 
Written in a conversational style that draws upon Jessica Riddell’s experience in governance, senior administration, and scholarship, the book is a how-to guide and thought leadership manifesto for developing the conceptual tools to seek solutions to higher education’s most pressing issues. Hope Circuits aims to rewire mindsets, perspectives, and behaviours to in turn rewire and renew the systems within which university stakeholders learn, live, and work. It tackles this challenging feat by suggesting ten tools to build hope circuits, a concept borrowed from neuroscience. 
		 
Riddell acknowledges that changing systems and deep cultures is not for the faint of heart; indeed, the more than 250 interviews conducted with thought partners for Hope Circuits expose how individuals who navigate complex systems regularly experience discomfort and even despair. In response, she shows us how to anchor a practice of hope in higher education with focus and intention, inviting others to adopt and adapt her approach.

    The Loyalists in the American Revolution is the detailed story of the formation of the Tory or Loyalist party in the American Revolution ; its persecution by the Whigs during a long and fratricidal war, and the banishment or death of over one hundred thousand of these most conservative and respectable Americans is a tragedy but rarely paralleled in the history of the world. 
This book includes matters necessary for an understanding of the Revolution, but hitherto, for the most part, neglected, and in many cases inaccessible.

    This book deals with the following topics: 
1 - Emiliano Zapata: Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). 
2 - Mexican Revolution: The Mexican Revolution was a great revolution that included a series of army local battles instead of a single united struggle. It destroyed the Federal Force and changed it with an innovative army, changing Mexican civilization and governance at the same time It also culminated in the adoption of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' ideal visions. In spite of the fact that President Porfirio Daz's (from about 1880 to 1911) rule had grown progressively out of favor over the prior 31 years, there was no indicator that a transformation would break out in the year 1910.
