  Spanish and Portuguese in the...

  In 1451, Prince Henry the Navigator helped fund and develop a new type of ship, the caravel, that featured triangular lateen sails and would be able to travel in the open ocean and sail against the wind. In 1488, Bartholomew Diaz rounded the southern tip of Africa, named the Cape of Good Hope by King John of Portugal, and entered the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic. 
  One explorer, Christopher Columbus, sought funding from the Portuguese to search for a passage to Asia by sailing westwards, but he was rejected. At this time in the late 15th century, Portugal’s domination of the western African sea routes prompted the neighboring Crown of Castile and the Catholic monarchs in modern Spain to search for an alternative route to south and east Asia (termed Indies), so they provided Columbus with the funding he required. By the time Christopher Columbus started setting back east from the New World after landing there in October 1492, he had explored San Salvador in the Bahamas (which he thought was Japan), Cuba (which he thought was China), and Hispaniola, the source of gold. As the common story goes, Columbus, en route back to Spain from his first journey, called in at Lisbon as a courtesy to brief the Portuguese King John II of his discovery of the New World. King John subsequently protested that according to the 1479 Treaty of Alcáçovas, which divided the Atlantic Ocean between Spanish and Portuguese spheres of influence, the newly discovered lands rightly belonged to Portugal. To make clear the point, a Portuguese fleet was authorized and dispatched west from the Tagus to lay claim to the “Indies,” which prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella.

  ‘A riveting read that skips along at pace. Illuminating and concerning, it lifts the lid on the tawdry world of Westminster powerbroking’ Tim Shipman, The Times 
  YOU THINK YOU LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THE ELECTED ARE CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. 
  THINK AGAIN. 
  When Boris Johnson came to power in 2019, he did so with the largest Conservative majority since Margaret Thatcher. Rewriting the political map, he united a party and shattered Labour’s fabled red wall. And yet, just three years later, he was ousted by the same members who had once greeted his leadership so rapturously. 
  What had gone so wrong? 
  The Plot is the seismic, fly-on-the-wall account of how the saviour of the Conservative Party became a pariah. Told with unparalleled access, from multiple inside sources talking with astonishing candour, it reveals the shocking truth about powerful forces operating behind the scenes in the heart of Westminster and those who became the architects of a Prime Minister’s downfall. 
  This is the story of a damning trail of treachery and deceit fuelled by an obsessive pursuit of power, which threatens to topple the very fabric of our democracy. 
  The Plot is a non-fiction biography that takes readers on a journey through the labyrinth of political parties, ideologies, and the heads that govern them. Penned by Sunday Times bestselling author Nadine Dorries, it's a revealing look at the corruption and misconduct that often goes unnoticed. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Barbra Streisand (My Name is Barbra).

  Sociology - Society Structures...

  Sociology is the scientific study of society, human behavior, and social interactions. It examines how individuals and groups influence one another, the structures that shape social life, and the cultural norms that govern behavior. Sociology provides insights into the complexities of human relationships, revealing patterns in how people interact, organize themselves, and respond to societal changes. By analyzing these patterns, sociologists seek to understand and explain the forces that shape societies, from historical developments to contemporary issues. 
  The importance of sociology lies in its ability to uncover hidden social mechanisms that influence daily life. It helps individuals understand how social structures—such as family, education, and politics—affect opportunities, behaviors, and beliefs. This field of study also provides tools for critically examining societal norms, questioning inequalities, and advocating for social change. In an increasingly interconnected world, sociology offers valuable perspectives on globalization, migration, and cultural diversity, highlighting both the challenges and benefits of social transformation. 
  Sociology encompasses various theoretical perspectives that guide its analysis. The functionalist perspective views society as a system of interconnected parts, each contributing to social stability. It emphasizes the roles institutions play in maintaining order and continuity. The conflict perspective, on the other hand, focuses on power struggles and social inequalities, arguing that societies are shaped by competition for resources and dominance between different groups. The symbolic interactionist perspective examines social interactions at the micro-level, emphasizing the meanings individuals attach to their experiences, symbols, and communication. Each of these perspectives offers a distinct way of understanding society and human behavior.
