  This is a book combo with the following topics: 
  Ancient China: It’s hard to cover all of China’s vast history in a short book, but for the sake of leaving out details, we will still give it a try. In this guide, you will be able to learn more about the most important turning events, eras, dynasties, leaders, wars, and cultural aspects of ancient China. Ancient China has different historic periods. The first we will talk about in this book is the Xia Dynasty. And after that, others will be dealt with, as they were the ages that followed that. Then we will discuss the Shang and Zhou dynasty. Enjoy! 
  Portuguese Macau: Macau is known as the Las Vegas of China. It attracts many tourists every year, and it has a unique set of laws and history behind it. How did it become this way? Well, one of the reasons is that it used to be part of the Portuguese Empire. We have probably all heard about the British in China, the Opium Wars, and the tea export, but you might not have heard about the Portuguese settlers who went there. Macau still shows signs of Portuguese influence, even when you go there to visit. So, let’s take a look at what happened and how the area evolved into what it is today.

  The companion volume to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture exhibit, opening in September 2021 
  With a Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Eric Foner and a preface by veteran museum director and historian Spencer Crew 
  An incisive and illuminating analysis of the enduring legacy of the post-Civil War period known as Reconstruction—a comprehensive story of Black Americans’ struggle for human rights and dignity and the failure of the nation to fulfill its promises of freedom, citizenship, and justice. 
  In the aftermath of the Civil War, millions of free and newly freed African Americans were determined to define themselves as equal citizens in a country without slavery—to own land, build secure families, and educate themselves and their children. Seeking to secure safety and justice, they successfully campaigned for civil and political rights, including the right to vote. Across an expanding America, Black politicians were elected to all levels of government, from city halls to state capitals to Washington, DC. 
  But those gains were short-lived. By the mid-1870s, the federal government stopped enforcing civil rights laws, allowing white supremacists to use suppression and violence to regain power in the Southern states. Black men, women, and children suffered racial terror, segregation, and discrimination that confined them to second-class citizenship, a system known as Jim Crow that endured for decades.   
  More than a century has passed since the revolutionary political, social, and economic movement known as Reconstruction, yet its profound consequences reverberate in our lives today. Make Good the Promises explores five distinct yet intertwined legacies of Reconstruction—Liberation, Violence, Repair, Place, and Belief—to reveal their lasting impact on modern society. It is the story of Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Hiram Revels, Ida B. Wells, and scores of other Black men and women who reshaped a nation—and of the persistence of white supremacy and the perpetuation of the injustices of slavery continued by other means and codified in state and federal laws. 
  With contributions by leading scholars, and illustrated with 80 images from the exhibition, Make Good the Promises shows how Black Lives Matter, #SayHerName, antiracism, and other current movements for repair find inspiration from the lessons of Reconstruction. It touches on questions critical then and now: What is the meaning of freedom and equality? What does it mean to be an American? Powerful and eye-opening, it is a reminder that history is far from past; it lives within each of us and shapes our world and who we are. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
  If you're looking for a thoughtful gift for a history buff, teacher, or anyone interested in social justice and anti-racism, Make Good the Promises is an excellent choice. This nonfiction book offers a comprehensive look at the aftermath of the Civil War and the struggle for civil and political rights for newly freed African Americans, with a focus on the lasting impact of Reconstruction on modern society.

  THINK! YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. 
  'Thinking' is what we use to navigate life. It is the lens through which we see the world. Thoughts determine the quality of our lives; they determine its problems and its achievements, Work, success, relationships, happiness, everything depends on the way we think. Yet, have we ever investigated it? Why is our life the way it is? Have we searched for the answers in our own thoughts? 
  It makes sense to periodically review our thinking and thus re-adjust our navigation to achieve the results we seek. When our thoughts are set right, problems are solved and goals achieved. 
  How do we know what we know? How do we verify what we think? How do we improve our thinking? Epistemology or the theory of knowledge helps us. 
  This book analyses thoughts through an interesting amalgamation of such diverse subjects as Indian epistemology, Vedanta and mythology: and Western psychology, logic and literature. 
  Let us review our thoughts. Know how we think and how to improve that thinking. Think right to accelerate life. 
  After all, our life is the story we tell ourselves.
