Summary

In "The Prehistoric World; Or, Vanished Races," Emory Adams Allen embarks on a comprehensive investigation into the lost civilizations of prehistory. Combining a rich narrative style with empirical research, Allen traverses the realms of archaeology, anthropology, and comparative mythology to illuminate the cultures and societies that have left scant traces in the historical record. The book is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its engagement with contemporary theories of human development, reflecting the burgeoning interest in archaeology that defined the late 19th century, as scholars sought to understand the enigmatic remnants of ancient societies. Emory Adams Allen, an American writer and scholar, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, notably the increasing exploration of uncharted territories and the fascination with the ancient past. His academic background and keen interest in anthropology informed his interpretations, leading him to explore the themes of race, civilization, and cultural evolution amidst a rapidly changing social landscape. Allen's passion for historical inquiry is evident throughout the text, as he seeks to bridge the chasm between past and present. This book is a commendable read for anyone interested in the mysteries of human evolution and the complexities of lost races. Its scholarly rigor and engaging prose make it an essential addition to the library of both the casual reader and the serious student of archaeology and anthropology.

    What if the most important warrior in Japanese history was never supposed to be there? 
    Torn from his homeland on the shores of Mozambique, Zuberi thought his story was over. Enslaved by Portuguese raiders, forced into military service, shipwrecked on foreign shores—every twist of fate seemed designed to destroy him. 
    But destiny had other plans. 
    In feudal Japan, where honor is everything and outsiders are nothing, one man's courage will defy tradition, challenge an empire, and forge an alliance that history forgot to remember. 
    From the blood-soaked beaches of East Africa to the cherry blossom gardens of Kyoto, The Forgotten Warrior reveals the extraordinary true-to-life tale of how a Mozambican slave became a samurai legend—and how his choices shaped the course of two nations forever. 
    Some warriors are born to greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. 
    But the greatest warriors are forged in the fires of the impossible. 
    "A masterpiece of historical fiction that brings forgotten voices to vivid life."

    This Isn't Love

    After a life in care, with both good and bad experiences of the system, Hope knows all too well what the risks are for children in care as they approach adolescence. Lacking any sense of self-worth or belonging, children in care are often dismissed by the authorities as impossible to manage and, worse, perceived as children who have invited sexual abuse by placing themselves in 'dangerous' situations. They quickly become invisible to the authorities - too old to be perceived as 'children' by the system and yet, far too young to be safe in an adult world. Hope was brought up in care from the age of nine. Until now, she has never spoken about what happened to her once she left the security of her Highgate children's home at the age of 13 and moved into a 'secure unit'. It may have been secure but it was never 'safe'. In this new book, she lifts the lid on this untold chapter of her story and the devastating effects she experienced when she reconnected with her past. This isn't Love is a book that not only casts blame on the men and women who abuse children in care, but also on those who avert their gazes in the belief that these children are 'asking for it'. Hope's story ends on a hopeful note, championing victims of abuse and encouraging others to tell their story.

    The outspoken and radical Israeli historian Ilan Pappe examines the most contested ideas concerning the origins and identity of the contemporary state of Israel. 
     
     
      
    The "ten myths"—repeated endlessly in the media, enforced by the military, and accepted without question by the world's governments—reinforce the regional status quo and include: Palestine was an empty land at the time of the Balfour Declaration; the Jews were a people without a land; there is no difference between Zionism and Judaism; Zionism is not a colonial project of occupation; the Palestinians left their Homeland voluntarily in 1948; the June 1967 War was a war of 'No Choice'; Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East; the Oslo Mythologies; the Gaza Mythologies; and the Two-State Solution. 
     
     
     
    For students, activists, and anyone interested in better understanding the news, Ten Myths About Israel is another groundbreaking study of the Israel-Palestine conflict from the author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.
