Summary

In "Salem Witchcraft (Complete Edition)", Charles Wentworth Upham meticulously explores the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692, weaving a rich tapestry of historical narrative, personal testimonies, and critical analysis. Upham's literary style is characterized by its scholarly rigor and vivid storytelling, effectively immersing readers in the complexities of Puritan society and the socio-political dynamics that fueled the hysteria. Presented with an eye for detail, this complete edition includes comprehensive documentation of court records and contemporary accounts, providing a profound context that enhances the understanding of this dark chapter in American history. Charles Wentworth Upham was a historian, politician, and educator in the mid-19th century, whose deep engagement with Massachusetts history and fervent commitment to uncovering truth resonate throughout his work. Influenced by his own experiences and the prevailing intellectual currents of his time, Upham sought not only to recount historical facts but to interrogate the moral implications of the witch trials. His distinct position as a descendant of those involved in the trials adds a personal dimension to his scholarly inquiry. This seminal work is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, legal studies, or the cultural contexts of fear and superstition. Upham'Äôs balanced approach provides an essential resource for understanding the interplay between religion, societal pressures, and the human psyche during times of crisis.

    A fierce exposé of American resistance to believing Black people and its devastating effects throughout history. 
     
    From Reconstruction to redemption, civil rights to the Southern strategy, the multiracial protests of 2020 for social justice to the swift elimination of policies etching out a more inclusive, equitable society, Americans regularly experience periods of racial reckoning followed by walloping retrenchment. This pattern is a result of an American pastime: creating and implementing tactics to deny Black truth. Candis Watts Smith explores how Black voices have been prevented from contributing ideas to break these cycles. Distilling four centuries of critical moments in US history, this careful curation of vignettes provides a warning of what happens when Black testimony is subject to exclusion, when Black communities are terrorized, when Black children are transformed into adults, and when Black resistance is pathologized. Black Evidence shows how the ugly legacy of the past continues into our present and prescribes a cure—listen to the veracity of Black voices and amplify it.

    ADHD and Impulsivity - For individuals with ADHD, impulsivity is not merely a matter of poor decision-making—it is deeply rooted in the neurological underpinnings of the condition. The brain’s inability to regulate certain executive functions, such as impulse control, makes it harder for individuals to pause and think before acting. This can result in a range of consequences, from minor mishaps to more significant interpersonal or professional challenges. However, understanding the science behind impulsivity is only part of the equation. Recognizing how these impulses affect daily life and learning how to manage them is crucial for building a healthier, more balanced existence. 
    ADHD in School - In the classroom setting, ADHD can present a variety of challenges for both students and educators. Children with ADHD often struggle to stay focused on tasks, follow instructions, and maintain organizational systems. Their difficulty with impulse control can lead to frequent interruptions, inappropriate behaviors, and challenges in completing assignments. These behaviors are often misinterpreted as laziness, defiance, or a lack of intelligence, leading to frustration and misunderstanding for both the student and teacher.

    In this bundle of audiobooks, you will get the following topics: 
    1 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." 
    2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. 
    3 - Topics such as these will be addressed: 
    The beginnings of the Mayans. 
    Human sacrifice, temples, sites, and religious principles in the Maya culture. 
    The Mayan culture and society. 
    The role of Maya women. 
    The ancient ruins that can be visited by tourists today. 
    4 - When you think of the Aztecs, you might think of certain movies you have seen or what you've been taught in history class. And although some of those images and descriptions fit the main narrative, there is still much left to be discovered. This brief book will take you on a journey and kidnap your imagination to a faraway place in time. 
    5 - Although not really Mexican, this bonus book gives you more insight into ancient American civilizations, in this case, the Inca society. The Inca empire was vast and massive. Yet, still so few people know much about it, aside from what they've heard from vague rumors. But did you know the Inca people showed various similarities to those who came from the Middle East? Did you know that they mummified their dead and built pyramids?
