Synopsis

"Great Lakes Story" explores the rich, interconnected history of North America's Great Lakes, highlighting their geological origins, economic significance as vital trade routes, and the maritime history marked by dramatic shipwrecks like the Edmund Fitzgerald. The book illustrates how these vast freshwater seas are not only geological wonders and dynamic ecosystems but also crucial arteries of commerce, shaping the continent's development. One intriguing aspect is the lakes' formation during the last ice age, which profoundly influenced their unique hydrological characteristics.

 
The book progresses through three sections, beginning with a geological and environmental overview, then moves into the lakes' role in shaping North American trade and development, from the early fur trade to modern shipping. Finally, it delves into compelling stories of shipwrecks, examining their historical context and the mysteries surrounding their sinking. By weaving together historical accounts, scientific data, and maritime lore, "Great Lakes Story" provides an engaging and accessible narrative for anyone interested in the history and environmental challenges of this vital region.

    This book consists of two titles, which are real even in the history of the Netherlands: 
    Battle of Waterloo - The Battle of Waterloo, fought on June 18, 1815, near the village of Waterloo in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (present-day Belgium), was a decisive conflict that ended the Napoleonic Wars. The battle pitted the French army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, against two powerful forces from the Seventh Coalition. One of these was a British-led coalition under the command of the Duke of Wellington, which included troops from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Hanover, Brunswick, and Nassau. The other force was a larger Prussian army commanded by Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. Together, these forces effectively crushed Napoleon's ambitions and marked the final chapter in his reign. The battle was also known as the Battle of Mont Saint-Jean (to the French) or La Belle Alliance (to the Prussians). 
    Tulip Mania - Tulip Mania, often considered the first recorded speculative bubble in history, took place during the Dutch Golden Age in the early 17th century. This period saw some tulip bulbs, which had been newly introduced to Europe, achieve extraordinary prices. The peak of the tulip market occurred in 1634, with prices reaching unbelievable levels before plummeting drastically in February 1637. This event is frequently cited as an early example of an asset bubble, where the prices of goods diverged dramatically from their intrinsic value. The tulip mania of the 1630s remains one of the most notable cases of speculative fever in financial history.

    God gave Us a Special Needs...

    I wrote this book because I wanted the world to know the story of my special needs son Lloyd C. Darby lll. Affectionately known as DJ, which stands for Darby Junior. When people triumph over their circumstances as my wife and I have, there are usually hidden lessons others can benefit from contained within the events. However, if we don’t share our stories with the world, no one will ever hear about them. That’s why it is so important to share our successes, and failures, to let others know they are not alone. Rather, a part of a bigger picture that is so significant, their message alone has the power to set people free. Whether through books, video, television, or the radio, we must communicate our thoughts and promote ideas and principles that produce a better society for all people. Due to the painful memories, and recreating various parts of my true story, I needed to make this book simple to understand. It is my sincere effort that this information can be absorbed quickly and to the point.          
    This is the story of a child who was born against the odds, raised against the odds, and lives against the odds. Although he is my son, he is also my hero and role model. It is on his behalf that I write his story and for all the parents in the world with so-called “special needs” children. I have truly learned the powers who labeled these children “special needs” focus more on their inabilities rather than their abilities. More importantly, life is about victories, achievements, successes, opportunities, pride, honor, shortcomings, and never-ending loving hearts. When it comes to these qualities, special needs children possess them naturally.

    The term "resentment" has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does "resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? 
     
     
      
    In The Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the twentieth century. Schneider illustrates how resentment has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity—how it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition. Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.
