Sinopse

"Family Household" explores the evolving concept of family across human history and diverse cultures, offering a comprehensive examination of family dynamics. The book delves into three key areas: the historical development of family structures, cultural variations in family systems, and socioeconomic impacts on family units.

 
By tracing family structures from prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies to modern urban environments, it illuminates how factors like agricultural revolutions, industrialization, and globalization have shaped family compositions and roles. Central to the book's argument is the idea that family structures are not universal or static, but diverse and adaptable systems influenced by cultural, economic, and social forces. This perspective challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about what constitutes a "normal" family.

 
The book's global approach examines a wide range of family systems, from polygamous arrangements in some African societies to multi-generational households in East Asia, providing valuable insights for policymakers, social workers, and educators working with diverse populations.

 
Drawing on evidence from anthropology, sociology, economics, and history, "Family Household" progresses logically through its chapters, exploring historical developments, cultural variations, and socioeconomic factors influencing modern families. Its holistic approach and accessible language make it suitable for both students of social sciences and general readers interested in understanding the complex interplay between family dynamics and broader societal forces.

    All at Sea - A Memoir

    All at Sea describes the career of a ship captain and salvage master from the time when he joined his first vessel to his present status as a marine consultant in Hong Kong. He writes of the remarkable changes he has seen and experienced in a career which has spanned more than half a century. By turns amusing and thought-provoking, this is an enjoyable tale of a most interesting life. 
    "[Alan] has done readers a service by putting on record so many of his experiences in such a charming & accessible manner. ... those who are interested in recent maritime practice should ... find within its pages much to intrigue & delight them. / Alan Loynd joined the Swire Group in 1976, and worked for businesses within it for most of thirty years.... it is both an honour and a pleasure to commend this volume to almost any curious & enthusiastic reader.”—Barnaby Swire. Chairman, the Swire Group 
    "A well thought through, beautifully written account of an interesting life.... I honestly could not put this down! Alan writes exceptionally well, with a delightful turn of phrase and a nice dry wit. His shrewd and sympathetic insights into the people of southern China are a particular pleasure. You pick up this book expecting a seafarer’s memoir - Devon schoolboy to CEO - and you get a handbook to modern Hong Kong, a bonus sketch of the Queen and Prince Philip visiting the tiny and remote island nation of Tuvalu, and an insight into modern salvage techniques.... Highly recommended."—Andrew Craig-Bennett, Amazon UK, 29 July 2021. 
    "A riveting read.... This is a quite exceptional account of a life at sea, covering a vast range of roles and adventures. It is beautifully written, and Alan Loynd’s (very) dry sense of humour shines through it all. I am a compulsive reader of mariners’ memoirs, and this is one of the very best." 
    —Killick, Amazon UK, 7 July 2021.

    In "Physician on a Mission: Dr. Veltmeyer's Rx to Save America," Dr. James Veltmeyer offers his prescription for curing the deepening crisis of our American republic as it is brutally bombarded by cultural revolutionaries in our media and universities and globalist manipulators in New York, Washington, and Silicon Valley. In this book, Dr. Veltmeyer shares his views on a host of critical national and international issues, from health care and COVID-19 to foreign policy, immigration, climate change, China, trade, the federal judiciary, homelessness, education, abortion and the economy that have been addressed in his numerous OpEds and podcasts over the last several years. By seeking to bring the truth of our priceless Constitutional framework of liberty, free markets, and limited government to all Americans who are seeking that truth, he seeks nothing less than to reclaim our heritage, our civilization and indeed our very birthright as American citizens from the very forces who seek to bury them.

    D. S. Yvon

    These ancient concepts come from an assortment of wisdom found in the time of the Roman Empire include: 
    The Tacitus Razor: “If you want to know who controls you, see who you’re not allowed to criticize.” This is how comedians accidently reveal a society's hierarchy—they call everyone naked, and soon discover who the king is. 
    The Slavery Syndrome. Roman historian Sallust: “Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master.” Genuine liberty means making decisions 24/7; parsing right from wrong; solving pesky dilemmas using nothing but one’s own mind.  
    The Polybius Warning: 2nd century B.C. historian Polybius warned that a falling birthrate precedes civilizational collapse. Fewer births mean men and women have checked out. Polybius believed the Greek civilization fell due to its “low birth rate…” 
    The Pliny Principle: “It is wonderful how the mind is stirred and quickened into activity by brisk bodily exercise.”  
    The Uses of Folly. Roman historian Herodotus: “If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad.”  
    6. The Vitruvius Rule: Modern architects love asymmetrical structures, but Ancient Roman architect Vitruvius said a building out of proportions is like a deformed body. Nature herself “composed the human body” and the rest of creation using “due proportions.” The Vitruvius Rule: No symmetry? Off to cemetery.

    Why does poverty persist in the wealthiest nation in the world? Poverty, by America takes listeners on a powerful journey to uncover the systems, policies, and choices that sustain inequality in the United States. With a critical yet hopeful lens, the author reveals how poverty is not an inevitable condition but a deliberate outcome of exploitation, exclusion, and prioritizing wealth over welfare.
     
    Through compelling stories, hard-hitting data, and bold analysis, this audiobook explores the hidden architecture of poverty—from exploitative housing markets and stagnant wages to systemic exclusion from healthcare, education, and justice. It also tackles the provocative question: Who benefits from poverty? The answer will challenge listeners to rethink their understanding of inequality and their own role in perpetuating it.
     
    But Poverty, by America is more than a diagnosis—it’s a call to action. The author outlines proven solutions to reduce poverty and invites listeners to become “poverty abolitionists,” advocating for systemic change and justice. This audiobook is a clarion call for those who believe in creating a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
     
    Perfect for anyone seeking clarity on one of today’s most pressing issues, Poverty, by America inspires hope and action. It’s not just about understanding poverty—it’s about fighting it.
