Synopsis

In "The History of the Five Indian Nations of Canada," Cadwallader Colden provides a comprehensive study of the Iroquois Confederacy, delving into the intricate socio-political systems and cultural practices that shaped these indigenous nations during the early 18th century. Written in a compelling yet scholarly style, the book situates the Five Nations within the broader context of colonial tensions between the English and the French, articulating their strategic importance as mediators in the geopolitical landscape of North America. Colden's meticulous research and vivid narratives highlight the complexities of indigenous governance and intertribal relations, offering readers a nuanced understanding of Native American agency during this tumultuous period. Colden was not merely an observer but a participant in the colonial milieu, serving as a prominent New York politician and surveyor. His engagement with Native peoples and deep interest in their traditions stemmed from both his personal experiences and the broader Enlightenment context, which emphasized reason and empirical observation. This background informed his desire to present a balanced account of the Five Nations, countering prevailing stereotypes while advocating for their political significance in colonial affairs. This book is essential for any reader interested in early American history, indigenous studies, or colonial interactions. Colden'Äôs adept combination of historical detail and anthropological insight makes this work a pivotal resource for understanding the dynamics that governed relationships between European settlers and Native Americans, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Iroquois.

    NATIONAL BESTSELLER 
     
     
    This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 
     
    What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try? 
     
    The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view ‘common sense,’ and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.

    How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes, the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on, that we don't know how to share our faith.  However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there - in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils.  Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch.” From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with - and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.  This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first, and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic.

    A gripping tale of resilience and survival that offers hope to others who have experienced family violence and suffered at the hands of a sibling.A deeply personal and heart-breaking memoir that explores the troubled relationship between Mary Garden and her younger sister, Anna, who died in 2023 after a short illness. Mary unpacks her life of growing up in New Zealand in the 1950s and ’60s, before making Australia home. She reveals complex layers of intergenerational trauma, including the baggage of her eccentric, deeply flawed father and the secret her mother kept from all of them, revealed only after her death. Mary deals movingly with her sister’s long battle with mental illness and how she once saved Anna’s life. As she unravels these narratives, Mary touches on the guilt and shame familiar to anyone who has had to deal with secrets, violence and ‘madness’ in their family. And she shines a light on sibling abuse, the most common form of abuse in the context of family violence ‒ occurring up to five times as frequently as spousal or parental child abuse ‒ although it is often dismissed as ‘sibling rivalry’. It causes far-reaching, long-lasting harm.

    Neville Goddard (1905 - 1972) was a teacher, author and lecturer. He was born in St. Michael, Barbados, and came to the US in 1922 to study drama and dance. While touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics. After his return to New York he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. While living in Los Angeles in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio. In his lectures and books Neville dealt with what he called "The Law" and "The Promise." These relate to the method of creating one's physical reality through imagining, and is similar to the teachings of the New Thought movement. This public lecture is about beliefs, knowing, and other mystical topics.
