Synopsis

In 'Lives of the Signers to the Declaration of Independence,' Charles Augustus Goodrich provides a meticulously crafted biographical account of the fifty-six men who risked everything to assert America's independence. With a narrative style that melds accessible prose and rich historical detail, Goodrich illuminates the diverse backgrounds, motivations, and contributions of these significant figures. Set against the backdrop of a nascent nation grappling with its identity, the book serves as both a reverent homage and a scholarly examination of the ideals that fueled the American Revolution, illuminating the characters and conflicts that shaped this pivotal moment in history. Goodrich, a prominent 19th-century American writer and historian, was deeply invested in the ideals of liberty and patriotism. Growing up during a time of burgeoning national identity, his own experiences and the historical legacy of the Revolutionary War profoundly influenced his perspective. Having previously authored works on history and morality, Goodrich's thoroughness and reverence for America's founding fathers emerge vividly in this work, inviting readers to explore the lives that contributed to the birth of a nation. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in American history, offering a blend of biographical scholarship and engaging storytelling that brings to life the extraordinary figures of the Revolutionary War. Goodrich's 'Lives of the Signers' not only preserves their legacies but also inspires contemporary readers to reflect on the values of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring struggle for freedom.

    Little Jamey, 2½ years old, is placed with experienced foster carer, Cathy Glass, as an emergency. 
    The police and social services have no choice but to remove two-year-old Jamey from home after his mother leaves him alone all night to go out partying. 
    When he first arrives with foster carer Cathy Glass, he is scared, hungry and withdrawn, craving the affection he has been denied for so long. He is small for his age and unsteady on his feet – a result of being left for long periods in his cot.

    Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto 
    In the expansive landscape of human history, few figures loom as large as Genghis Khan. His name conjures up deeply polarized images - brutal warrior, visionary leader, ruthless conqueror, and inspired empire-builder. By charting his early life and improbable rise to power, this book aims to provide insight into the experiences that forged this polarizing, larger-than-life figure.  
      
    Rising from obscurity on the harsh Mongolian steppe, Genghis Khan would establish the largest contiguous land empire the world had ever seen. At its peak, this empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, encompassing illustrious cities like Beijing, Kabul and Baghdad within its realm. His vision of empire, his mastery of cavalry warfare, and his skill at uniting fractious nomads under his banner transformed medieval Eurasia forever. 
      
    To comprehend the genesis of this world-changing figure, we must explore his early life and the tribulations that steeled his unyielding ambition. Born as Temüjin around 1162 CE into an atmosphere of tribal warfare, betrayal and blood feuds, his childhood was dramatically reshaped by the poisoning death of his father, leaving his family abandoned and destitute. As explored in Chapter 1, these experiences of loss and humiliation fostered in Temüjin a dream of uniting the perpetually warring Mongols into a single people.
