Synopsis

Atlantic Ocean Secrets explores the pivotal role of the Atlantic Ocean in shaping global history, from the Age of Discovery to modern geopolitics. The book unveils the ocean's depths, revealing its impact on globalization, cultural exchange, and the rise of maritime empires. Readers will discover how the Atlantic served as both a bridge and a barrier, facilitating transatlantic trade and exploration while also witnessing tragic shipwrecks and the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on historical documents like ship logs and trade records to illustrate the ocean's influence on sailing technologies, naval strategies, and international laws. It uniquely focuses on diverse perspectives, including those of explorers, traders, enslaved people, and scientists, offering a nuanced understanding of the Atlantic's impact on human societies.

 
Progressing chronologically, the book begins with the ocean's geological formation and early exploration, then moves through key historical periods, culminating in an assessment of its modern role in commerce, environmental challenges, and geopolitical strategies.

    Following the success of Go the F**k to Sleep, Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable, a collection of funny, warm, and charmingly profane tales from the frontlines of parenthood by the author of the popular Baby Sideburns blog. 
    Once upon a time you and your partner had a perfect life: dinners out, weekend mornings cuddling in bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a poop machine (or two). Now, it's all about the pediatrician, breast pumps, princess dresses, and minivans. And discovering that your pride and joy is actually a little A-hole. 
    When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he's an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she's an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely paint the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they're a-holes. At times like these, it's only natural to want to kill them (or yourself). But it's against the law (and there's the suicide hotline). Plus, there's that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing. 
    In I Heart My Little A-Holes, Karen Alpert shares hilarious stories, lists, and deep thoughts on the joys and horrors of raising children. Accompanied by cheery illustrations and photos I Heart My Little A-Holes will make you laugh so hard you'll wish you were wearing a diaper.

    In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California—an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices. 
     
     
     
    Based on original research employing newly discovered documents, The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emerson maps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.
