Sinossi

"Minor Revolutions" explores the subtle yet profound transformations often overshadowed by major historical events. It argues that significant political and social change arises from gradual adjustments in bureaucratic systems, technological advancements, and shifts in social norms. The book challenges conventional narratives by focusing on these less conspicuous changes, demonstrating how they collectively reshape political landscapes and societal structures.

The book examines the evolution of governance in pre-modern states, the impact of technology on political power, and the shifts in social norms that led to political change. For instance, the spread of printing technology in the 18th and 19th centuries played a crucial role in political mobilization, subtly shifting public discourse.

It is structured into three sections, first introducing the concept, then examining case studies, and finally synthesizing findings to demonstrate how seemingly isolated changes collectively reshape political landscapes. By analyzing archival documents, government records, and quantitative data, "Minor Revolutions" reveals the importance of incremental changes and collective action. It introduces the concept of "compound change" to describe how minor revolutions build upon each other over time, leading to significant historical outcomes.

This approach offers a fresh perspective on familiar historical events, making it valuable for students, scholars, and general readers interested in understanding the dynamics of societal transformation.

The Magic of Jewels and Charms -...

George Frederick Kunz

What people have believed stones will do for them: the emerald against fever, the amethyst against drink, the diamond that loses its virtue if sold. Kunz was Tiffany's gem expert for over fifty years and knew the mineralogy exactly, which makes his account of the folklore more useful, not less. Its 81 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.

Dirty Little Secrets about Black...

Dr. Claud Anderson

To date, history remains largely white history. Black people, as a race, are virtually non-existent when historical events are described in textbooks, movies and centennial celebrations. Their role in America is most often that of cotton pickers, marchers or rioters. Black History Month narrowly limits contributions of Blacks to a familiar list to 10 to 15 individuals when, in fact, Blacks, though enslaved and powerless, had a profound and indelible influence on the American socioeconomic system. Black labor was the engine that drove this nation and civilization around the world. Slavery and its legacies shaped and continue to reveal this nation’s cultural, moral and ethical hypocrisy. The products of Black’s labor created industrial revolutions in Britain and America. They produced social tensions that led to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Reconstruction and a national civil rights movement.
Much information about race remains lost or buried in laws, bills of sales, newspaper reports, letters, economic analysis, and personal diaries. The purpose of this book is to unearth and expose some of the Dirty Little Secrets hidden in the darkness of history.
For example, did you know that:Even without the benefit of a formal education, newly freed Black slaves filed for and were awarded more than 300 invention patents between 1870 and 1900?A number of high-level elected officials, including Presidents, Vice Presidents and members of the U.S. Senate had “Black blood” and Black mistresses?These are but a few of many little-known, Dirty Little Secrets About Black History, Its Heroes and Other Troublemakers.

Split - a life shared: living...

Maggie Walters

How does a child survive years of unimaginable abuse?
She splits.
And splits again. And again. And again.
And she does survive. But not without consequences.
As a young adult, years after her physical abuse has ended, Maggie Walters struggles with an
unpredictable temper and socially difficult behaviour. After several false starts she finds a therapist
who she trusts, just enough, to start talking about the childhood locked away behind the anger and
isolation she has learnt to live with.
Eventually she is diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder, MPD (now known as Dissociative
Identity Disorder or DID).
Gradually, she understands. It was not Maggie who survived her childhood. The instinct to survive
created an alternative identity called Annie, who with a myriad of other ‘alters’, lived through the
abuse inflicted on her.
Decades later, with a husband and three much-loved children, Maggie strives to live a normal life
despite a past which has left her internal world with a hidden, dark secret. Every day, unseen by
those around her, trigger incidents fill her head with voices, the chaotic remnants of her other selves
who lived the childhood she couldn’t. This is the ‘normal’ which Maggie has learned to live with.
In SPLIT Maggie tells the story of managing this ‘normal’, of understanding and accepting her past,
and standing strong in the life she has built from the ashes of her broken childhood.
It is a story not only of survival, but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not
read another book like it.
