Sinopse

Cook Voyages explores the life and expeditions of Captain James Cook, a pivotal figure in 18th-century maritime history and Pacific exploration. The book examines Cook’s three major voyages, highlighting his contributions to cartography and scientific understanding of the Pacific Ocean. These voyages resulted in the meticulous charting of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia, significantly expanding European knowledge of the region. Intriguingly, the Royal Society played a key role in sponsoring these voyages, driven by both scientific curiosity and the desire for colonial expansion. The book delves into the complex interactions between Cook and the indigenous cultures he encountered, acknowledging both the advancements in scientific discovery and the detrimental impacts of European colonialism.

 
Cook Voyages progresses chronologically through Cook's life, naval career, and each of his voyages, detailing navigational techniques, scientific observations, and encounters with indigenous peoples. It offers a balanced perspective, critically examining the long-term consequences of Cook's expeditions, including the introduction of diseases and the displacement of indigenous populations, while also recognizing his achievements in exploration.

    VOLUME 3 OF KAT WARD'S SENSATIONAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY! 
    in this much-anticipated third volume, Kat recounts her early-mid teen years. Still traumatised by her early experiences, she was however not entirely without that sense of hope that is the inalienable property of youth. 
    Now at Duncroft Approved School for “emotionally disturbed girls”, her life had come to resemble that of a prisoner; a good day was a bad one and a bad day was horrific. A pattern interrupted only by the periodic visits of a certain creepy old man in a shiny tracksuit, with a pocket full of a cigars and a caravan full of demands. 
    There were Rolls-Royce trips to London. There were jaunts to TV studios. And, of course, for Kat, as with most of the girls, there were dreams of a brighter future. But despite all the promises, there was simply no way out. For at almost every turn, another nefarious character was waiting to take advantage of the girls that no-one would believe anyway. 
    Now you can read her full story here. No punches pulled; no stone left unturned. Just the truth, committed to paper over many years, in the hope that it might help inspire the brave, enlighten the misled and heal the abused… 
    DISCLAIMER: This is a true story of child abuse. Reader discretion is advised.

    From an award-winning journalist comes a vivid and moving portrait of eight  
    trans and nonbinary teenagers across the country, following their daily  
    triumphs, struggles, and all that encompasses growing up trans in America  
    today. 
    Media coverage tends to sensationalize the fight over how trans kids should be  
    allowed to live, but what is incredibly rare are the voices of the people at the  
    heart of this debate: transgender and gender nonconforming kids themselves. For  
    their groundbreaking new book, journalist Nico Lang spent a year traveling the  
    country to document the lives of transgender, nonbinary, and genderfluid teens  
    and their families.  
    From the tip of Florida’s conservative panhandle to vibrant queer communities in  
    California, and from Texas churches to mosques in Illinois, American Teenager 
    gives readers a window into the lives of Wyatt, Rhydian, Mykah, Clint, Ruby,  
    Augie, Jack, and Kylie, eight teens who, despite what some lawmakers might want  
    us to believe, are truly just kids looking for a brighter future. Drawing on hundreds  
    of hours of on-the-ground interviews with them and the people in their  
    communities, American Teenager paints a vivid portrait of what it’s actually like to  
    grow up trans today. 
    “With humor and compassion, Lang shows trans teenagers as they really are: kids  
    trying their best, day by day, to grow into their truest selves and fullest  
    potential.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer: A Memoir

    During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
    
    
    This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
    
    
    This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.

    Growing up in Gloucester, Massachusetts, a quaint coastal town with a dark underbelly, Gail Brenner Nastasia learned early on that some people mattered and others didn’t. As the child of a heroin-addicted mother and an aunt who brokered deals with men who liked to have sex with young girls, Gail was sure she didn’t matter. As a result of keeping her secrets and those of her family, she developed a cunning and merciless pill addiction. 
    Despite moving away from Gloucester in her early twenties and becoming an attorney, Gail continued to use drugs while carrying the shame of her childhood. It wasn’t until she began to appreciate the value in her criminally-charged clients, those with whom she shared similar struggles, that she finally recognized her own worth. This new understanding gave her the courage to put down the drugs, fully embrace her history, and stop hiding. 
    A candid look at the things we inherit, THE FRUIT YOU’LL NEVER SEE reminds us of the value intrinsic in every human being and the responsibility we all have to each other and ourselves.
