Beschreibung

In "Virginia's Attitude Toward Slavery and Secession," Beverley B. Munford delves into the complex interplay of socio-political factors that shaped Virginia's views on slavery and its pivotal role in the Civil War. Through a meticulous analysis of primary sources, including letters, speeches, and legislative documents, Munford elucidates the changing sentiments among Virginians regarding slavery and secession during the antebellum period. Her prose is both scholarly and accessible, weaving historical narrative with a critical lens that situates Virginia within the broader tapestry of American history. The book's nuanced examination contributes significantly to the discourse surrounding Southern identity and the moral dilemmas faced by its citizens. Beverley B. Munford, a noted historian specializing in late 19th-century American history, draws on her extensive research background and personal experiences growing up in Virginia to illuminate this contentious era. Her keen insights into the regional mindset are informed by both academic rigor and a deep emotional connection to the historical landscape of her home state. Munford'Äôs engaging narrative style reflects her passion for uncovering the layers of belief and sentiment that have endured through generations. This book is essential for historians, students, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate relationship between regional attitudes and national conflict. Munford'Äôs thoughtful exploration not only challenges preconceived notions but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of slavery and secession in shaping contemporary American society. It is a compelling read that offers both depth and clarity on these critical subjects.

    We broke our new series on learning Chinese [Mandarin] down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Chinese [Mandarin]. 
    In Unit 1 you will hear Chinese [Mandarin] decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Chinese [Mandarin] speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Chinese [Mandarin]. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Chinese [Mandarin] at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Chinese [Mandarin], Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.

    Hunting is our heritage, our heart, and our future.
    
    Where does hunting fit in the modern world? To many, it can seem outdated or even cruel, but as On Hunting affirms, hunting is holistic, honest, and continually relevant. Authors Grossman, Miller, and Cunningham dive deep into the ancient past of hunting and examine its position today, demonstrating that we cannot understand humanity without first understanding hunting. Readers will
    
    
    ·       discover how hunting formed us,
    
    
    ·       examine hunting ethics and their adaptation to modernity,
    
    
    ·       understand the challenges, traditions, and reverence of today's hunter,
    
    
    ·       identify hunting skills and their many applications outside the field,
    
    
    ·       learn why hunting is critical to ecological restoration and preservation, and
    
    
    ·       gain inspiration to share hunting with others.
    
    
    Drawing from ecology, philosophy, and anthropology and sprinkled with campfire stories, this wide-ranging examination has rich depths for both nonhunters and hunters alike. On Hunting shows that we need hunting still—and so does the wild earth we inhabit.
