Beschreibung

In "Richard III: His Life & Character, Reviewed in the Light of Recent Research," Clements R. Sir Markham embarks on a meticulous exploration of the enigmatic figure of Richard III, delving into both historical accounts and recent scholarship that has revisited traditional narratives. The text is rich in scholarly insight, employing a mix of biography and historiography to dissect the complexities of Richard's life and legacy. Markham's writing is characterized by a clear and engaging prose style that maintains the rigor expected in academic treatment, whilst remaining accessible to general readers, bridging the gap between historical rigor and narrative fluency. Clements R. Sir Markham, a distinguished historian with a long-standing focus on the late medieval period, draws on his extensive research and a profound understanding of the socio-political dynamics of 15th-century England. His background, steeped in both historical study and critique of primary sources, enables him to provide a nuanced perspective on Richard III, challenging established historical prejudices influenced by Tudor propaganda. Markham'Äôs scholarly expertise and keen analytical skills are evident throughout this work, revealing the intricacies of a much-maligned king. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the turbulent history of England's War of the Roses, as well as for those seeking a more balanced understanding of Richard III beyond the notorious caricature shaped by pop culture. Markham'Äôs thorough examination is not just a biography; it is a clarion call for a re-evaluation of Richard'Äôs character and reign. Readers will find themselves enriched by the critical discourse surrounding one of history's most misunderstood monarchs.

    The Book of Habakkuk is the eighth book of the 12 minor prophets of the Bible. It is attributed to the prophet Habakkuk, and was probably composed in the late 7th century BC. Of the three chapters in the book, the first two are a dialogue between Yahweh and the prophet. The message that "the just shall live by his faith" plays an important role in Christian thought. It is used in the Epistle to the Romans, Epistle to the Galatians, and the Epistle to the Hebrews as the starting point of the concept of faith.

    Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a cognitive-behavioral approach developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. It represents a revolutionary shift in the field of psychotherapy, aiming not just to alleviate symptoms, but to foster long-lasting change by helping individuals think and behave more rationally. The primary goal of REBT is to help people understand and identify irrational thoughts and beliefs that lead to emotional distress, then replace those beliefs with more rational, functional alternatives. 
    At its core, REBT rests on the idea that it is not the events themselves that disturb us, but our beliefs about those events. This concept is captured in the ABC model, a foundational element of REBT. According to the model, A stands for the activating event, or the situation that triggers a response. B represents the beliefs we hold about the activating event, which can be either rational or irrational. Finally, C stands for the emotional or behavioral consequences of those beliefs. By recognizing the link between beliefs and emotional outcomes, individuals can learn to challenge and change irrational thoughts that lead to unwanted feelings and behaviors. 
    REBT operates on the premise that people often hold onto irrational beliefs that are unrealistic, extreme, and unhelpful. These beliefs can be categorized into three core demands: the demand for approval from others, the demand for fairness or justice, and the demand for achievement and success. These irrational demands fuel negative emotions like anxiety, frustration, and depression, leading individuals to feel powerless or inadequate.

    Brendan Behan wrote over one hundred articles for Irish newspapers between 1951 and 1956 as he rose to international fame, with most of them written in a weekly column in the Irish Press. The articles reveal a serious writer capable of great comic set pieces and amusing yarns as well as thoughtful reflections on cultural and historical issues. They reflect his passion for working-class Dublin life and the history and folklore of the city, as well as his travels in Ireland and Europe.
    
    
    This edition gathers all the articles and essays that Behan published in newspapers from 1951 to his death in 1964. Selections of Behan's articles have been published since his death (Hold Your Hour and Have Another, 1965; After the Wake, 1981; The Dubbalin Man, 1997). However, there has been no complete edition of Behan's prose, and no edition has provided a detailed biographical and literary introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading. This volume is intended for publication during the centenary celebrations of Behan's birth in 2023, with his birthday being 9 February.

    The American Revolution is replete with seminal moments that every American learns in school, from the “shot heard ‘round the world” to the Declaration of Independence, but the events that led up to the fighting at Lexington & Concord were borne out of 10 years of division between the British and their American colonies over everything from colonial representation in governments to taxation, the nature of searches, and the quartering of British regulars in private houses. From 1764-1775, a chain of events that included lightning rods like the Townshend Acts led to bloodshed in the form of the Boston Massacre, while the Boston Tea Party became a symbol of nonviolent protest.  
    	The political and military nature of the Revolutionary War was just as full of intrigue. While disorganized militias fought the Battles of Lexington & Concord, George Washington would lead the Continental Army in the field while men like Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia and Benjamin Franklin negotiated overseas in France. Benedict Arnold would become one of his nation’s most vital war heroes and its most notorious traitor, French forces would play a crucial role at the end of the war, and the Treaty of Paris would conclude the Revolution with one last great surprise.  
    	Perhaps not surprisingly, the Revolution was far more complex than often depicted, both demographically and politically. Not all the British colonies in North America joined the rebel colonies - East and West Florida remained British (although Britain almost lost both to Spain), while the Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Caribbean colonies remained in the empire. The colonies in what is now Canada also remained loyal, namely Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and Rupert’s Land.
