  Visigoths - The Ancient History...

  The Visigoths were a significant Germanic people whose influence shaped the course of European history during late antiquity, a period commonly known as the Migration Period. Along with their eastern counterparts, the Ostrogoths, they were among the most powerful and notable Gothic factions within the Roman Empire during its decline. The Visigoths, who descended from earlier Gothic tribes, were particularly influenced by the Thervingi, a large tribe that entered Roman territory in 376. Their arrival marked a pivotal moment in the empire’s history, as they played a central role in the Roman defeat at the Battle of Adrianople in 378, a battle that resulted in devastating losses for the Romans. 
  The relationship between the Romans and the Visigoths was complex and often tumultuous, characterized by shifting alliances, conflicts, and treaties. At times, the Visigoths fought against the Romans, while at other moments, they formed temporary alliances. One of the most significant turning points came in 410, when the Visigoths, under their ambitious leader Alaric I, invaded Italy and famously sacked Rome. This act of conquest shocked the Roman world and marked the first time in over 800 years that the city had been captured by a foreign enemy.

  Bloody Brilliant Women

  ‘A litany of fresh heroes to make the embattled heart sing’ Caitlin Moran‘Newman is a brilliant writer’ Observer 
  A fresh, opinionated history of all the brilliant women you should have learned about in school but didn’t. 
  For hundreds of years we have heard about the great men of history, but what about herstory? 
  In this freewheeling history of modern Britain, Cathy Newman writes about the pioneering women who defied the odds to make careers for themselves and alter the course of modern history; women who achieved what they achieved while dismantling hostile, entrenched views about their place in society. Their role in transforming Britain is fundamental, far greater than has generally been acknowledged, and not just in the arts or education but in fields like medicine, politics, law, engineering and the military. 
  While a few of the women in this book are now household names, many have faded into oblivion, their personal and collective achievements mere footnotes in history. We know of Emmeline Pankhurst, Vera Brittain, Marie Stopes and Beatrice Webb. But who remembers engineer and motorbike racer Beatrice Shilling, whose ingenious device for the Spitfires’ Rolls-Royce Merlin fixed an often-fatal flaw, allowing the RAF’s planes to beat the German in the Battle of Britain? Or Dorothy Lawrence, the journalist who achieved her ambition to become a WW1 correspondent by pretending to be a man? And developmental biologist Anne McLaren, whose work in genetics paved the way for in vitro fertilisation? 
  Blending meticulous research with information gleaned from memoirs, diaries, letters, novels and other secondary sources, Bloody Brilliant Women uses the stories of some extraordinary lives to tell the tale of 20th and 21st century Britain. It is a history for women and men. A history for our times. 
  Newman's Bloody Brilliant Women is a bestseller that delves into the social and political fabric of Europe, highlighting the significant contributions of women in science and other fields. This biography is an autobiography of sorts, chronicling the lives of women who have been overlooked in studies of history. 
  For fans of Laura Bates (Fix the System, Not the Women), E. Foley (You Goddess!), Anna Russell (Great Women's Speeches), Deborah Coughlin (Outspoken), and Bill O'Neill (Behind the Curtain of Common Sayings).

  Giving My All captures the journey of Earl Martin Phalen as he navigates family, self-identity and purpose.As a black boy adopted into a large, loving Irish Catholic family at age two, Earl discovered at a young age that he was meant to stand out. Yet whether it was on the basketball court or early in his career as a young and ambitious “edupreneur,” Earl encountered opportunities that required him to give his all, but often found himself holding back. Earl faced both subtle and overt racism in his predominantly white neighborhoods, but with the love and unrelenting support of his family, he was able to overcome much—facing it most directly and intentionally for the first time when he arrived on Yale campus as a young athlete scholar. While at Yale, Earl gained a new sense of pride and purpose as he connected with his black and African American heritage. This would continue throughout his studies and into graduate school at Harvard Law, where his calling to education—particularly that of black and brown children—came to life. Earl has dedicated his life to improving the access poor, black and brown children have to quality education and opportunities.

  How the Paranormal Affects...

  My career was being trained as and working as an Engineer mostly for Fortune 100 companies. 
  In parallel with that I’ve also been working on spiritual enlightenment and developing my paranormal abilities for the last fifty years. 
  This unusual combination of skills has led me to my passion of writing about the paranormal and many “out of the box” concepts and topics. I’ve actually written twelve books about the paranormal based on my experiences and research into these topics. 
  One topic which has always fascinated me has been how many paranormal experiences are usually interpreted by mental health professionals as delusional and mentally ill behaviors. 
  My thinking is that most people have spiritual and paranormal abilities and these cause experiences which can overwhelm some people to make them fit the diagnosis of them having mental illnesses. 
  Certainly there are a lot of legitimate mental illnesses which cause the need for treatments by mental health professionals. 
  But what happens when persons having these experiences may be normal and stable in their other behaviors but these experiences are so far beyond the norms of society that others think they are “crazy” and therefore treat them as such? 
  I’ve heard and read a number of stories over the years where I wonder if they were real experiences which might have just caused the person who lived them to have a nervous breakdown. 
  This book is my effort to help people understand the interfaces of real paranormal experiences and mental illness and how to tell which is which. 
  Also, what additional therapies can be used to help people who may be overwhelmed by these experiences?
