Sinopse

In "Martine's Hand-book of Etiquette, and Guide to True Politeness," Arthur Martine offers a comprehensive exploration of social conduct and decorum in the 19th century. Drawing from a blend of moral philosophy and practical advice, Martine's prose is characterized by a didactic tone that is both engaging and instructive. This work serves as a vital lens into the societal norms of his time, illuminating the significance of etiquette in facilitating social harmony and enhancing personal relationships. His emphasis on 'true politeness' transcends mere formality, advocating for genuine respect and consideration in interpersonal interactions. Arthur Martine, a prominent figure in the realm of etiquette literature, was heavily influenced by the burgeoning middle class and their emerging social aspirations during the Victorian era. His background likely informs his insights, as he seeks to bridge gaps between social classes while advocating for civility as an essential tool for social mobility. Drawing on contemporary philosophical thought, Martine navigates the complexities of societal expectations, making his work both a reflection and critique of his time. To those who wish to cultivate successful social interactions and enrich their understanding of 19th-century social mores, Martine's work is indispensable. It not only prepares readers to navigate the intricate web of societal expectations but also inspires a deeper commitment to genuine human connection through the practice of true politeness.

    The only audiobook of the live Jan. 6 Select Committee Hearings, illuminating one of the most shocking days in contemporary American history through the unforgettable testimony and a foreword by lawyer and legal analyst Preet Bharara. 
     
    The select committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol gripped the country in ways reminiscent of Watergate or the Clinton Impeachment. From the opening statements by Congressman Bennie Thompson and Congresswoman Liz Cheney, to Cassidy Hutchinson’s riveting surprise testimony, to the vote to subpoena former President Donald J. Trump, the hearings were carefully crafted to tell the story of the day our democracy was put in peril.   
     
    The January 6th Tapes is the only audiobook where listeners can hear all 20 hours of unabridged audio recordings – each of the nine public hearings is full of stunning testimony from Trump allies, aides, and lawyers; legal experts; participants in the attacks; and members of the team tasked with protecting the Capitol building that day. It includes a foreword from Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, examining the historical impact of the committee and the hearings, as well as the effect they will have on American democracy.  
     
    Hearing the testimony helps all students of history understand the stakes in a way simply not possible from reading the report. As such, The January 6th Tapes is an easily accessible archive providing a lasting chronicle of one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

    Throughout history, there have been men of war and men of peace, but few have actually had a war named after them. One of them was Pontiac, also known as Obwandiyag, an Odawa chief who left his mark on history by continuing the battle against the British after their official triumph during the French and Indian War.  
    	The new United States was faced with a fundamental problem: to expand, it had to settle lands to the west of the Appalachian Mountains, ceded to it by the British. However, the mountains were occupied by Native American groups who had no desire to make way for white settlers. The treaty had created a vast frontier for the fledgling nation, and any American settlers pushing west along it were bound to encounter hostile natives.  
    	For the most part, the conflicts that followed consisted mostly of the Native Americans suffering defeat in the face of a better-equipped adversary, interspersed with binding treaties, which, on the side of the federal government, proved not very binding at all. Occasionally, however, there arose a Native American leader of such ability that such defeats were temporarily reversed, and Little Turtle, the war chief of the Miami tribe, was one such man. Under his leadership, a confederation of Miami and other tribes inflicted the worst defeat ever suffered by an American army in the newly independent nation. Almost a quarter of the Army’s total strength was lost in a single battle, but while later Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse have become legends, Little Turtle is not as well-remembered. This is particularly odd, given that he actually defeated the American military and helped shape the development of the nascent United States and its military.

    AS FEATURED ON ORIGINAL GANGSTERS WITH SEAN BEAN'The world's leading expert on Birmingham crime and the Peaky Blinders'You know who the Peaky Blinders are ... It's time to see where they began.At the turn of the twentieth century, Birmingham was seemingly transforming into a wealthy, bustling metropolis, celebrated for its manufacturing and local government. Yet behind this optimistic facade,  the poorest and most vulnerable in society were abandoned. This longstanding inequality aroused unrest, sparking violence and terror from backstreet gangsters who'd become known as peaky blinders.In this fourth instalment of the bestselling series, historian Carl Chinn draws upon his decades of expertise and his own family history to reveal even more about these notorious gangs, going back to where it all began. Chinn exposes the real people whose bloody feuds, murders and maiming, baiting of police officers, bullying of the decent poor, gendered violence, blackmailing, and disturbing roles in political riots and racist attacks made Birmingham infamous as the city of the Peaky Blinders.Peaky Blinders: The Real Gangs and Gangsters is a vivid and shocking portrait of Birmingham through the Victorian and Edwardian eras, unpicking the storied history of its vicious gangs to reveal how they forced themselves into notoriety.

    A Teenage Rhapsody 1966 to 1973

    "A Teenage Rhapsody 1966 to 1973" is autobiographical and describes my transition from adolescence to manhood at a time when the shackles of certain traditional social oppressions were been swept aside by optimism for a better future that previous generations were denied. 
    That better future started with the phenomenon called 'the teenager' who suddenly had a voice, a voice of freedoms, expression and of influence that helped create the Swinging Sixties. 
    I was there, yes I was there. What I was to experience growing up in the suburbs of Leeds at the time the book suggests, was that of hardship, laughter, fun, love and betrayal, juvenile violence and the explosion of alternatives that were now becoming accepted, as inevitable. 
    But also what I was experiencing, with the doctrine of Victorian values to keep me out of harm's way, was the freedom, without concern, to wander and explore for endless hours, the labyrinth of streets of back to back terrace houses that offered adventure around every corner. 
    The simplicity of life during the time of my teenage years, alongside a commonality of certain basic traditions passed down from generation to generation, that still apply and work regardless of generation. This was liberating, allowing me to develop my mind and character through trial and error at a pace of life that was less demanding and frenzied to what is to arrive in the next century, when all this description will be viewed in the format akin to a Sepia painting hanging with obscurity in a corner of a gallery. 
    This story had a need to be told.
