Sinopse

Allan Cunningham's "Brief View of the Progress of Interior Discovery in New South Wales" is a seminal work that charts the early explorations and geographic discoveries within New South Wales, reflecting the spirit of scientific inquiry that defined the early 19th century. Written in an accessible yet scholarly prose, the book combines detailed observations with analytical commentary, deftly weaving personal experiences with empirical data. Cunningham situates his narrative within the broader context of European exploration, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs faced by explorers, while articulating the significance of these discoveries for the burgeoning colony and its European audience. Cunningham, a naturalist and explorer himself, was deeply invested in the flora, fauna, and indigenous cultures of Australia, which undoubtedly influenced his writings. His extensive travels throughout the region lent him first-hand experience of the landscapes he meticulously documented, providing a richness and authenticity to his observations. His background in botany, coupled with a keen interest in economics and geography, allowed him to produce a comprehensive account that was both scientifically rigorous and culturally insightful. This book is an essential read for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in early Australian exploration. Cunningham's insightful observations and eloquent prose offer a window into the era's exploratory fervor and its implications for understanding the cultural and ecological tapestry of New South Wales. It serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the human spirit's enduring quest for knowledge.

    This illuminating book offers an extensive, expert analysis of a school system that bears the legacy, hallmarks, and consequences that lie at the intersection of race and education. Urban education scholar Camika Royal deftly analyzes decades of efforts aimed at improving school performance within the School District of Philadelphia (SDP), in a brisk survey spanning every SDP superintendency from the 1960s through 2017. 
     
     
     
    Royal interrogates the history of education and educational reforms, recounting city, state, and federal interventions. Her survey provides sociopolitical context and rich groundwork for a nuanced examination of why many large urban districts struggle to implement reforms with fidelity and in ways that advance Black students academically and holistically. 
     
     
     
    In a bracing critique, Royal bears witness to the ways in which positive public school reform has been obstructed: through racism and racial capitalism, but also via liberal ideals, neoliberal practices, and austerity tactics. 
     
     
     
    Not Paved for Us highlights the experiences of Black educators as they navigate the racial and cultural politics of urban school reform.

    The Inuit (consisting of Alaskan Iupiat, Greenlandic Inuit, and Canadian Inuit) and the Yupik (or Yuit) of eastern Siberia and Alaska are described as Eskimo or Eskimos. The Aleut, who live on the Aleutian Islands, are a comparable 3rd group that's usually omitted from the categorization of Eskimo. The 3 groups have a current typical forefather and speak Eskimo-- Aleut languages, which relate. 
    The development of Europeans marks the start of Alaskan Indians' contemporary history. Russians cruising from Siberia in the eighteenth century were the first to make contact, which was uncommon for The USA and Canada. Traders from the east, mainly from The U.S.A. and Canada's eastern towns, didn't come in the area till the 19th century. Christian missionaries were not active in Alaska till the 20th century in some circumstances. 
    In this book, you will learn more about Eskmos, the Aleut people, and much, much more.

    All Eternity Lies Before Me -...

    A suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War. 
    Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. 
    Told from Loreen’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband’s crew’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. 
    But Jerry’s death is not the end of Loreen’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.
