Synopsis

In "The Mayflower and Her Log; July 15, 1620-May 6, 1621 'Äî Complete," Azel Ames meticulously chronicles the voyage of the iconic ship that carried the Pilgrims to the New World.

Ames employs a narrative style that intertwines primary accounts and detailed logs, placing readers intimately in the midst of an extraordinary odyssey that altered the course of American history. His attention to detail brings forth the harsh realities of maritime life, while also illuminating the hopes and dreams of a group bound by faith and determination. Azel Ames, a prominent historian and scholar of early American history, draws upon his extensive research into colonial life and maritime records to fuel his passion for this pivotal event. His dedication to documenting the transformation of the Pilgrims from European dwellers to settlers in a new land underlines both his scholarly rigor and personal conviction in preserving these essential narratives.

Whether you are a student of history, a lover of maritime adventures, or simply curious about America's roots, Ames' thorough and engaging recounting serves as a gateway to understanding the indomitable spirit that defined the Pilgrims. Dive into this remarkable journey that forever changed a nation, and explore the formidable trials faced aboard the Mayflower.

    A hostile takeover is an aggressive maneuver in which one entity seizes control of another against its will. While the term is most commonly associated with corporate battles, hostile takeovers can occur in politics, criminal organizations, personal relationships, and even social groups. At its core, a hostile takeover is about power—gaining it, consolidating it, and using it to reshape an entity to serve the interests of the aggressor. Unlike consensual mergers or voluntary leadership transitions, hostile takeovers are marked by conflict, resistance, and strategic maneuvering. 
    In the corporate world, a hostile takeover typically occurs when one company seeks to acquire another without the consent of its board of directors. This is often done by purchasing a majority of shares on the open market, launching a tender offer to shareholders, or engaging in a proxy battle to replace leadership. The targeted company may attempt to defend itself using tactics such as poison pills, white knight rescues, or legal challenges, but once control is seized, the acquiring entity dictates the company's future direction. Corporate hostile takeovers are often driven by financial gain, market dominance, or strategic positioning, but they can also be fueled by personal vendettas or ideological shifts. 
    Beyond the business realm, hostile takeovers manifest in political settings as coups, regime changes, and leadership purges. Throughout history, governments have been overthrown through military force, manipulation of laws, or exploitation of public sentiment. Political leaders who rise to power through hostile means often implement sweeping changes, consolidating authority and eliminating opposition to solidify their control. These takeovers can reshape entire nations, alter global relations, and redefine ideologies, demonstrating the far-reaching consequences of power struggles.

    "Power, Pleasure, and Pain: A Study of Abuse Through Time" delves into the dark history of how sexual violence and abuse have been intertwined with power structures throughout history. From the libertine excesses of figures like the Marquis de Sade to the scandals of modern-day predators like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, this book provides a compelling examination of how those in power have used their positions to exploit and control others. 
    Spanning centuries, this critical exploration looks at the societal, cultural, and institutional failures that have enabled abusers to operate with impunity. Sean Dupree uses both historical and contemporary examples to highlight the systemic nature of sexual violence, tracing its roots back to philosophical and psychological underpinnings of dominance and submission. 
    Whether dissecting the abuse of power in religious institutions, entertainment, or the workplace, this study leaves no stone unturned. "Power, Pleasure, and Pain" is a powerful reminder that, despite the progress made by movements like #MeToo, much work remains to be done in holding abusers accountable and supporting survivors of sexual violence.

    The death of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter protests have made clear to everyone the vicious reality of racism that persists today.  
    Many of those privileged enough to be distanced from racism are now having to come to terms with the fact that they continue to prosper at the detriment of others. Having spent the last four years researching, writing, and speaking about the benefits of diversity for society, June Sarpong is no stranger to educating and challenging those that have been enjoying the benefits of a system steeped in systemic racism without realising its true cost. 
    In The Power of Privilege, June will empower those fortunate enough not to be ‘otherised’ by mainstream Western society to become effective allies against racism, both by understanding the roots of their privilege and the systemic societal inequities that perpetuates it. The Power of Privilege offers practical steps and action-driven solutions so that those who have been afforded privilege can begin undoing the limiting beliefs held by society, and help build a fairer future for all. 
    In this top-rated self-help book, Sarpong delves into the science of social classes, economic disparity, and political relations, offering a global perspective on race and discrimination. The Power of Privilege is not just a motivational read, but an inspirational call to action for those who wish to challenge the status quo and contribute to a fairer society.
