  Carib Civilization - The...

  The Carib civilization, known for their resilience and military prowess, was one of the dominant forces in the Caribbean before and during the early phases of European colonization. The Caribs, who were part of the larger Arawakan language family, developed a distinct culture that set them apart from other indigenous groups in the region. Their territory spanned many of the islands in the Lesser Antilles, with notable populations in Dominica, Saint Vincent, and Grenada. While they were widely recognized for their fierce resistance against European colonizers, their rich history and cultural achievements also played a significant role in shaping the Caribbean. 
  The early origins of the Caribs are a subject of ongoing research, but they are believed to have migrated from South America, possibly from the Orinoco River Basin in present-day Venezuela. Over time, they settled in various parts of the Caribbean, with their most prominent presence being on the islands of the Lesser Antilles. The Caribs are often distinguished from their neighbors, the Arawaks, due to their more aggressive and militaristic nature, a characteristic that would become critical in their dealings with the European powers who arrived on their shores. 
  Carib society was organized around a hierarchical structure with a chief, or ouin (sometimes known as karifuna), at the top, followed by warriors, farmers, and fishermen. Despite their reputation as fierce fighters, the Caribs were also skilled agriculturalists and fishermen. Their diet was rich in cassava, corn, fruits, and fish, which they caught using canoes made from hollowed trees. The Caribs' ability to navigate the seas using their advanced knowledge of the stars and ocean currents made them formidable maritime traders and warriors. They built large, ocean-going canoes capable of carrying multiple warriors, enabling them to wage successful raids across the Caribbean islands.

  “I can unequivocally say that this is the book every man needs.” —Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The LoveSuck it up. Stuff it down. Pour a bottle of whiskey over the top. Rinse and repeat until sufficiently numbed. This is the step-by-step doctrine men are taught. Men have traded in their internal leadership, sovereignty, and even masculinity for comfort, validation, and an escape from the mundane boardroom of their existence. Where is the modern-day strength training for the hearts and minds of men?In Men’s Work, ManTalks founder Connor Beaton offers the tactical, self-led guide men have been looking for. Here, he destigmatizes inner work by reframing it as a kind of psychological warrior training that many men can relate to and have been craving. Beaton walks you through a framework for facing the hidden and rejected aspects of yourself—factors that lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression. Through real-life stories from men he’s worked with and guidance in practical, accessible exercises, he takes you on a three-part journey to uncover and free yourself from the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that hold you back.When you face off with those pieces in place, that’s when you’ll:• Live with clear purpose and direction• Build your skills to win at relationships• Gain better control of your anger• Learn how to regulate your mind, body, and emotions, even under stress and conflict• Become fearless and at peace with your journeyMen’s Work focuses on the unique challenges that men with psychological and emotional wounds so often grapple with—while giving you the tools to heal and return to society in a way that is both empowering personally and beneficial for all. “The goal of this work is not only to become a better man,” says Beaton, “but a better participant in the collective enterprise of living. True freedom awaits.”

  Shiloh: The History of the First...

  After Union General Ulysses S. Grant captured Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in early 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston, widely considered the Confederacy’s best general, concentrated his forces in northern Georgia and prepared for a major offensive that culminated with the biggest battle of the war to that point, the Battle of Shiloh. On the morning of April 6, Johnston directed an all out attack on Grant’s army around Shiloh Church, and though Grant’s men had been encamped there, they had failed to create defensive fortifications or earthworks. They were also badly caught by surprise. With nearly 45,000 Confederates attacking, Johnston’s army began to steadily push Grant’s men back toward the river. 
  The Battle of Shiloh lasted two days, but the battle over the battle had just begun. Grant’s army had just won the biggest battle in the history of North America, with nearly 24,000 combined casualties among the Union and Confederate forces. Usually the winner of a major battle is hailed as a hero, but Grant was hardly a winner at Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh took place before costlier battles at places like Antietam and Gettysburg, so the extent of the casualties at Shiloh shocked the nation. Moreover, at Shiloh the casualties were viewed as needless; Grant was pilloried for allowing the Confederates to take his forces by surprise, as well as the failure to build defensive earthworks and fortifications, which nearly resulted in a rout of his army. Speculation again arose that Grant had a drinking problem, and some even assumed he was drunk during the battle. Though the Union won, it was largely viewed that their success owed to the heroics of General Sherman in rallying the men and Don Carlos Buell arriving with his army, and General Buell was happy to receive the credit at Grant’s expense.
