Sinopsis

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.

    How can ordinarily educated individuals come to believe in false news? 
      
    Let's go back in time to Victorian England to find out. 
      
    Corsets were required for ladies in Victorian times, according to a well-known anecdote. It's debatable how prevalent corsets were, but they compressed a woman's body like a snake, making her waist seem thinner. 
    Corsets were effective but so tight that they caused internal harm to women. They also induced atrophy in a woman's lower back. 
    Corsets were so constricting that ladies often collapsed while wearing them! 
      
    But here's the twist... 
      
    It was thought that fainting while wearing a corset was a good thing! It was seen as a sign of excellent breeding. 
    That is why we decided to write this book. You'll find the following inside:

    We’ve spent years being the good girl: saying yes when we mean no, shrinking ourselves to make others comfortable and prioritising everyone else’s needs. Our conditioning to be ‘good’ runs deep. As children, we’re praised for being polite, quiet and well-behaved. In the workplace, we’re rewarded for compliance over confidence. The result? Chronic illness, burnout, buried emotions ? and a feeling that we’re constantly performing for other people, rather than living a life that is true to us.  
     
    In Good Girl, Goodbye, Caitlin Judd ? founder of the award-winning lady-brains podcast ? offers a bold roadmap to break the patterns keeping us small. Drawing from her work coaching thousands of women, interviewing Australia’s best female founders, and her background in business and positive psychology, Judd shows women how to set fierce boundaries and build a life they love.  
     
    You’ll learn how to:  
     
     
    Identify the 12 Good Girl archetypes stealing your peace, energy and confidence  
     
    Say no without guilt and set healthy boundaries

    Discover your strengths and reclaim your personal power  
     
    Use practical tools and a change framework to define what true success means to you

    As Americans face the ongoing war against terrorists and their state sponsors around the world, Sean Hannity reminds us we must also cope with the continuing scourge of accommodation and cowardice at home. With his trademark blend of passion and hard-hitting commentary, he urges Americans to recognize the dangers of putting our faith in toothless ""multilateralism"" when the times call for decisive action. He believes that only through strong defense of our freedoms, at home and around the world, can we preserve America's security and liberty in the dangerous twenty-first century. 
    ""Evil exists,"" Hannity believes. ""It is real, and it means to harm us."" Tracing a direct line from Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin through Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, he reminds us of the courage and moral clarity of our great leaders. And he reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party -- from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton. 
    Hannity's first blockbuster book, the New York Times bestseller Let Freedom Ring, cemented his place as the freshest and most compelling conservative voice in the country. As host of the phenomenally successful Hannity & Colmes and The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity has won a wildly devoted fan base. Now he brings his plainspoken, take-no-prisoners style to the continuing War on Terror abroad -- and liberalism at home -- in Deliver Us from Evil.

    In the tradition of Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, this compassionate work helps individuals develop a more accepting view of dying while teaching them what to expect and how to navigate the healthcare system at the end of life. 
      
    In elderhood, the health care system has a narrow view of how to provide care. It focuses on extending a patient's life at all costs, with an over-reliance on machines and procedures, instead of caring holistically for the person. Accordingly, many of us will likely spend our final weeks in long-term care facilities or an ICU. 
      
    Dying at home, peacefully, and surrounded by family is almost impossible in our world—and our fear of death is a major contributor to this impossibility. Fittingly, the central idea of this book is that in old age, or when facing a terminal diagnosis, it is more important to understand your life rather than to extend it. While this may seem simple, its implications are profound. 
      
    A natural death means accepting that, at some point, we are old enough or sick enough to die. In our cynical and overly clinical age, it is difficult to reflect on the meaning of one's life, but that kind of honest introspection is exactly what we need. Accordingly, The Journey’s End seeks to help people manage their healthcare, their expectations, and their decisions in the final phase of life.
