Don Troiani's Campaign to Saratoga–1777 - The Turning Point of the Revolutionary War in Paintings Artifacts and Historical Narrative

Don Troiani, Eric Schnitzer

Sinossi

An artistic rendering of a key campaign in the American Revolution along with historical narrative brings this first United States victory to life.   The Battles of Saratoga are cited as the turning point in the Revolutionary War. Beginning when the armies prepared to face off in June 1777 through the surrender of the British Army in October, the battles of the Northern Campaign were significant to the outcome of the War and the fight for independence. As a result of the Saratoga battles, the patriots gained confidence, the French entered the war, and the British plan to win the war quickly was put to an end. Master historical painter Don Troiani and historian Eric Schnitzer combine their talents in this new book on Saratoga, the Revolutionary War campaign. This magnificently illustrated history features many new artworks, previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, photographs of important artifacts, and a solid, detailed historical narrative including background on the campaigns leading up to Saratoga.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy -...

Ivy Spencer

Most of us are caught in a roller coaster of' automatic' thinking, feelings, and actions. Try as hard as we can, when we see certain people or hear certain things, we get upset. Such intense emotions then cause us to say a few things out of habit. We also often feel the urge to act in a certain way.
This is all playing out so rapidly that we think that we really don't have any influence over it. It's a bit like being on a roller coaster. Well, could you just brace yourself for the ride, huh? It's too easy to conclude, after all, that your' automatic' reactions of fear, anxiety, depression, or rage are simply part of' who you are as a human!Alright, you don't have to make the same wrong decisions over and over again. You don't need to be miserable, powerless, or small. You don't have to keep defining yourself as a person who has little power over your life and your world.

Just by trying to think differently and viewing those events differently, you will bring about a massive positive change in your life.

The Communist Manifesto

Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels

The Communist Manifesto, originally the Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei), is an 1848 political document by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London just as the Revolutions of 1848 began to erupt, the Manifesto was later recognised as one of the world's most influential political documents. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and then-present) and the conflicts of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms.The Communist Manifesto summarises Marx and Engels' theories concerning the nature of society and politics, namely that in their own words "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism. In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions", which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world. In 2013, The Communist Manifesto was registered to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme along with Marx's Capital, Volume I.

Before Alexander - Prequel

Leo Sparx

For readers who enjoy a dark and mysterious plot with their sexy books, comes the prequel story to this kinky m/m ( m/m/m) series inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story, “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
This prequel story answers the questions posed by the House of Otter series but can be read before or after the complete trilogy.
On the shore of a small beach town, decades before the mysterious House of Otter spoke to Alexander, it called to a different furry young gay man. This starry-eyed, down-on-his-luck queer hustler is confronted by a powerful millionaire in the sand who leads him from the ocean to a new way of life.
Leaving a trail of money, extravagance, jockstraps, and large toys in their path across continents, the Daddy and boy pair awaken sexual magic which has been lying dormant in an abandoned mansion.
When they reach their luxurious destination they are met with more furry otters and colorful sexy jockstraps. Danger looms around the collection of gay men as the beach bum with a fetish for exhibitionism, unexpectedly finds himself participating in an ancient sexual ritual.
Will the cycle be completed in time? How will these events, which occurred long before Alexander joined the House of Otter, impact the future for this young man and those who come after him? In whichever order you decide to read them, the House of Otter series is not complete without the questions only this prequel story can answer.
It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!
This MM BDSM Dark Erotic Romance takes consent seriously. No otter boys were harmed (unless they wanted to be) in the writing of this book.*

A Brief History of the...

Sally Coulthard

A Waterstones Best Book of 2024: Nature Writing
The untold story of rural Britain revealed through its artefacts
'A really lovely, fascinating book. I dived straight into this clever, joyous, celebration of nature, history, and – of course – the countryside.' Charles Spencer, author of The White Ship
For most of human history, we were rural folk.
Our daily lives were bound up with working the land, living within the rhythm of the seasons. We poured our energies into growing food, tending to animals and watching the weather. Family, friends and neighbours were often one and the same. Life revolved around the village and its key spaces and places – the church, the green, the school and the marketplace.
And yet rural life is oddly invisible our historical records. The daily routine of the peasant, the farmer or the craftsperson could never compete with the glamour of city life, war and royal drama. Lives went unrecorded, stories untold.
There is, though, one way in which we can learn about our rural past. The things we have left behind provide a connection that no document can match; physical artefacts are touchstones that breathe life into its history. From farming tools to children’s toys, domestic objects and strange curios, the everyday items of the past reveal fascinating insights into an often-forgotten way of life. Birth, death, celebration, work, crime, play, medicine, beliefs, diet and our relationship with nature can all be read from these remnants of our past.
From ancient artefacts to modern-day memorabilia, this startling book weaves a rich tapestry from the fragments of our rural past.
In her non-fiction book A Brief History of the Countryside in 100 Objects, Sally Coulthard explores the social and cultural dynamics of rural life in Europe. The book, steeped in anthropology and environmental conservation, emphasises the importance of regional studies and the protection of our environment.
For fans of Jane Cooper (The Lost Flock), Charles King (Every Valley), Lee Alan Dugatkin (Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose), James Rebanks (The Shepherd's View), and Clara Parkes (Vanishing Fleece).

Bigfoot Mysteries & Some Answers

Martin K. Ettington

There are thousands of reports of Bigfoot in North America and other sites around the world. These sightings include videos, pictures, and the stories of witnesses. 
I’ve researched and written about many types of cryptids and the reports of Bigfoot sightings are orders of magnitudes greater than any other cryptid sightings. These witnesses definitely saw something which is not human but bipedal. 
The questions to me which need answering are ones like: 
·        How could so many Bigfoots exist in North America but the sightings are still pretty rare? 
·        Why haven’t any Bigfoot skeletons been discovered? 
·        Where do they live at and what do they eat? 
·        Do they have any supranormal abilities? 
·        Is Bigfoot an interdimensional being? 
 We will try to answer some of the questions in this book and propose some out of the box possibilities too. 
 There is a lot of Bigfoot information in this book so I hope you enjoy reading this compilation about Bigfoot.
