  A “fascinating and informative” reassessment of the underappreciated Confederate general’s achievements and ahead-of-his-time military strategy (Midwest Book Review).   Lieutenant-General James Longstreet, commander of the First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, was a brilliant tactician and strategist. Prior to the Civil War there were many technological developments, of which the rifled musket and cannon, rail transport, and the telegraph were just a few. In addition, the North enjoyed a great advantage in manpower and resources. Longstreet adapted to these technological changes and the disparity between the belligerents, making recommendations on how the war should be fought.   Longstreet made a mental leap to adjust to this new type of warfare. Many others didn’t make this leap, including Lee, Jackson, Bragg, Hood, and Jefferson Davis, and Longstreet’s advice went unheeded. In contrast to many southern generals, he advocated for defensive warfare, using entrenchments and trying to maneuver the enemy to assault his position, conserving manpower, resources, and supplies. With the advent of the highly accurate and long-range rifled musket, offensive tactics became questionable and risky. This caused Longstreet to come into conflict with General Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg, and with General Bragg at Chickamauga.   Longstreet, a pragmatic and methodical general, was never given full authority over an army in the field. Had his suggestions been utilized there would have been a better outcome for the South. Many historians and biographers have misunderstood Longstreet and his motives, but this work offers a fresh perspective. It takes a new viewpoint of the Civil War and the generals who tailored their designs to pursue the war, analyzes Longstreet’s views of the generals and the tactics and strategy they employed, and examines why Longstreet proposed and urged a new type of warfare.

  At what point can a Christian teacher no longer be part of a public education system that requires them to participate in teaching destructive ideologies and advancing immoral agendas on young children? 
   
  John Stamper reached that tipping point as a teacher in the Chicago Public School System and made the decision to quit his job and pull back the curtain on what’s happening in public schools today. 
   
  You’ve seen the stories on the news – our national education system has an agenda, being implemented under the guise of fairness, equality, and racial justice to children. However, this book will open your eyes to: 
   
  The indoctrination process through mandatory teacher training that implements these radical ideologies in schools without parental knowledgeThe danger and division created by critical race theory and gender theory being promoted in public schoolsHow Marxist, socialist, and communist ideologies are dominating public schools, and how you move forward with homeschooling your children 
   
  For generations, teachers have been excellent role models, investing their time and energy into fundamental lessons. However, today a growing number think they, the school board, and their school system know more than parents about what should be taught to students. You need to know what is going on in your child’s school and be prepared for the conflict of values that you may have to face. 
   
  You have options.

  A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
  
  KEY FEATURES 
  - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules
  - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
  - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners

  - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language
  - Uniquely stylised illustrations
  - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’
  - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts
  - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom
  
  DESCRIPTION: 
  My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

  Many ancient civilizations have influenced and inspired people in the 21st century. The Greeks and Romans continue to fascinate the West today. But of all the world’s civilizations, none have intrigued people more than the Mayans, whose culture, astronomy, language, and mysterious disappearance all continue to captivate people. 
  In 2012 especially, there has been a renewed focus on the Mayans, whose advanced calendar has led many to speculate the world will end on the same date the Mayan calendar ends. The focus on the “doomsday” scenario, however, has overshadowed the Mayans’ true contribution to astronomy, language, sports, and art. 
  The preoccupation with 2012 and the Mayan calendar has also overshadowed the discussion over who exactly the Mayans were. The Maya are one of the most famous civilizations in history, but what was it like to be Mayan at the height of their civilization in the 15th century? What did they eat? What did they play? What was their religion? How did they build their cities and organize their empire? How did they fight? 
  A Day in the Life of the Maya answers these questions by comprehensively examining and analyzing everything about their culture, including their history, religion, architecture, farming, calendar, ball game, cosmology and origins.
