Summary

History Facts explores intriguing, often-overlooked aspects of world history, challenging conventional narratives. It highlights that World War I was initially expected to be brief, a far cry from its actual devastating length, and reveals that the Great Wall of China is not, in fact, visible from space with the naked eye, contrary to popular belief. The book emphasizes the significance of minor events and the crucial human element in shaping historical outcomes, providing a fresh perspective beyond standard textbook accounts. It also stresses the importance of continuous historical re-evaluation.

 
The book begins by dismantling common historical misconceptions with factual evidence. It progresses by exploring how seemingly insignificant incidents altered the course of empires, and then brings to the forefront the personal stories of individuals who were instrumental in shaping history but are often omitted from mainstream accounts. By uncovering these hidden facets, History Facts encourages readers to question established narratives and engage with history in a more meaningful and critical way.

Shadows of Thought and Fire –...

Martin K. Ettington

I first read about Thoughtforms many years ago. The concept is that you can create a “focused thought” with certain properties from your own thoughts and force of will.  
It is said that conscious entities can also be created in this manner. 
This concept has been around for thousands of years. Tulpas and Jinn also seem to be creations of thought in many cases. 
This book goes into the histories of Jinns, Tulpas, and Thoughtforms which I think are all related and mostly incarnations of our conscious visualizations and force of will.  
Many individual sightings and experiences are included. 
This book also includes a Tulpa creation technique near the end which you should find very interesting. 
Understanding all of these also leads to being able to create objects of power like powerful talismans, rings or other objects.

Revolting Prostitutes - The...

Juno Mac, Molly Smith

How the law harms sex workers—and what they want instead 
 
 
 
Do you have to endorse prostitution in order to support sex worker rights? Should clients be criminalized, and can the police deliver justice? 
 
 
 
In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.

Ely Samuel Parker and Stand...

Editors Charles River

One of the best known of the six nations is the Seneca, and arguably the most famous Seneca chief was Ely Samuel Parker. Over the course of his life, he was a Seneca chief, a civil engineer, a close friend and adjutant to General Ulysses S. Grant, an advocate for the Indian peoples, and the first Native American Commissioner of the Department of Indian Affairs. His marriage to a much younger socialite scandalized Washington, and he made a fortune on Wall Street and lost it all. He ended his life in genteel poverty, working for nearly 20 years in an obscure position for the New York City Police Department. Parker was a largely self-taught engineer, who worked on various canal projects, and was hired by the Department of the Treasury to supervise the construction of several buildings in Galena, Illinois, where he met a shy salesclerk named Ulysses S. Grant. At the age of 18, he dined with President Polk, later talked with President Lincoln, and had the commanding general of the U.S. Army as the best man at his wedding.
Stand Watie’s life connects the traditional Cherokee homeland in Tennessee and Georgia, the fight within the tribe over leaving for the West or staying on their homeland and trying to resist, and the Trail of Tears. At the same time, his life also includes the ongoing split between mixed-blood and full-blood Cherokee in the Cherokee Nation, and the chaos of Indian Territory during the Civil War. Like the country as a whole, the Cherokee Nation was split over the question of slavery, and with an estimated 100 slaves owned, Watie was the biggest native slaveholder in the region. At the start of the war, Watie was commissioned as a colonel in Confederate service and later as a brigadier general. His 1st Cherokee Mounted Rifles Regiment fought more engagements than any other Confederate unit west of the Mississippi River. As a result, Watie is perhaps the most famous figure of a widely overlooked aspect of the Civil War.
