Sinopse

An essential read for those who are passionate about Scotland and its mysterious and beautiful tapestry of history and landscape.
In this book David R. Ross tracks Scotland through the ages, detailing incidents, places and people that are key to Scotland's history, from the Dark Ages to Devolution. Leading his readers to ancient monuments and the stories surrounding them, to modern cities and the burial sites of kings, Ross guides us on a quest to discover the essentials of Scottish history – and to find things we never knew existed.
From William Wallace's possible steps, the legend of King Arthur and the reign of Robert the Bruce, to rugged raging battlegrounds, moors and mountains, and Scottish film locations, Ross' journey around Scotland links the past to the present, bringing us face-to-face with the elements that have created the Scotland we know today.

  • The Shocking Truth about Educational Equity - cover

    Educational inequity remains one of the most pressing challenges facing modern society. Despite decades of effort to create equal opportunities for all students, disparities persist, especially along lines of race, socioeconomic status, and geography. These inequities are not merely abstract concepts but realities that shape the educational experiences of millions of children worldwide, with long-lasting effects on their futures. 
      
    At its core, educational inequity refers to the unequal distribution of resources, opportunities, and outcomes within the education system. It manifests in various forms, such as disparities in school funding, access to qualified teachers, availability of educational materials, and differences in academic performance across different student groups. For example, students from low-income families or rural areas often face additional barriers, including overcrowded classrooms, outdated textbooks, and limited access to extracurricular activities. Meanwhile, students from wealthier backgrounds tend to attend schools with better facilities, more advanced technology, and more specialized support. 
      
    The impact of these disparities is profound. Research shows that students who attend underfunded schools are more likely to experience lower academic achievement, higher dropout rates, and limited access to higher education. Additionally, the long-term effects of these inequities extend beyond the classroom, influencing future employment opportunities, income levels, and overall life outcomes. For marginalized communities, the cycle of inequality can be difficult to break, perpetuating systemic disadvantages that span generations.

    Africa is huge and varied, and so is its mythology. 
    African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites. 
    This audiobook examines the central themes of African mythology—the creation, gods and goddesses, trickster tales, animals, monsters, heroes, and mythical rulers—and shows how some motifs recur throughout the corpus of myths. It also looks at how African myths are becoming better known because of writers and filmmakers, particularly from the Black diaspora, who draw on this rich heritage for inspiration. 
    This introductory guide to African myths will allow you to do the following:Learn why the original creator decided to withdraw from Earth.Find out how ancient Egypt had several different creation stories, depending on which god was in ascendancy at the time.Listen to the medieval African emperor said to have been the richest man in history.Find out where Br’er Rabbit really came from.Check out how Anansi the Spider gained ownership of all the stories in the world.Get to know Oshun, the Yoruba river goddess, and how she arrived in Latin America.Learn about Haile Selassie, the emperor who brought Ethiopia into the League of Nations, and how he became a living god to Jamaican Rastafarians.Understand how Voodoo (Vodou) grew out of traditional West African religion.

    Living the Technology Revolution...

    This isn't a book filled with dry timelines or technical blueprints of the digital revolution. Instead, it's a firsthand journey—my journey—through one of the most astonishing transformations in human history: the rise of personal computing and the dawn of the digital age. 
    I was born in November 1955, at a time when the word “computer” was barely whispered outside of military labs and universities. My earliest memories include a bulky black-and-white television with rabbit-ear antennas, broadcasting a single channel. That flickering screen was my first encounter with electronic media—a far cry from the high-definition, touch-responsive world we live in now. 
    Over the decades, my path as an engineer and software developer placed me squarely in the midst of this technological upheaval. I didn’t just watch the future arrive—I helped build it, one line of code and one innovation at a time. 
    This book is a personal time capsule—a chronicle of what it was really like to live through the shift from analog to digital, from typewriters to tablets, from rotary phones to the infinite power in our pockets today. If you're a younger reader curious about how we got here, or someone who remembers the glow of vacuum tubes and the clack of punch cards, I invite you to walk with me through the decades. 
    You may be surprised by how far we’ve come—and how much we’ve forgotten along the way. 
    Many of the chapters are identified with the years or periods of time where these changes occurred.
