Sinopse

In "France and England in North America: Montcalm and Wolfe," Francis Parkman delivers a meticulously detailed narrative that explores the pivotal struggle between British and French forces during the Seven Years'Äô War in North America. This historical account is not only a rigorous examination of military strategy and leadership but also a vivid portrayal of the landscapes and peoples caught in the crossfire of imperial ambitions. Parkman's prose, characterized by its lyrical quality and sense of drama, is complemented by thorough research, placing the reader at the heart of this significant historical conflict. The book stands as a crucial piece in Parkman's larger work, which encompasses the broader clash between France and England on the American continent, thereby situating this conflict within a grander narrative of colonial competition. Francis Parkman, an esteemed 19th-century historian, was profoundly influenced by his travels and firsthand experiences across America. His background in history, literature, and an interest in the American landscape shaped his narrative style, blending thorough historical analysis with a painterly depiction of the environment. Parkman'Äôs ability to synthesize complex historical events into captivating prose ensures that his works, including this one, remain influential in the study of American history. I highly recommend "Montcalm and Wolfe" to readers interested in military history, as well as those curious about the multifaceted relationships between colonial powers. Parkman's engaging writing style, combined with his rich historical insights, makes this book an essential read for anyone wishing to understand the dynamics of North America during this tumultuous period.

    Since its founding as a discipline, Black Studies has been under relentless attack by social and political forces seeking to discredit and neutralize it. Our History Has Always Been Contraband was born out of an urgent need to respond to the latest threat: efforts to remove content from an AP African American Studies course being piloted in high schools across the United States. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Our History Has Always Been Contraband brings together canonical texts and authors in Black Studies, including those excised from or not included in the AP curriculum. 
     
     
     
    Featuring writings by: David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, Zora Neale Hurston, W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, James Baldwin, June Jordan, Angela Y. Davis, Robert Allen, Barbara Smith, Toni Cade Bambara, bell hooks, Barbara Christian, and many others. 
     
     
     
    Our History Has Always Been Contraband excerpts readings that cut across and between literature, political theory, law, psychology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist theory, and history. This volume also includes original essays by editors Kaepernick, Kelley, and Taylor, elucidating how we got here, and pieces by Brea Baker, Marlon Williams-Clark, and Roderick A. Ferguson detailing how we can fight back.

    Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today. 
    Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-- 9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. advertisement 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for thirteen years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history. 
    Whether you watch a movie with Brad Pitt or go through an informational book like this one, learning about the ancient ways of the Greek when they were truly influential, is something that can help you appreciate where so many things came from, what we believe these days, and how science and history have developed over time.

    Blaise Pascal, the seventeenth-century French philosopher and scientist, is perhaps best known for his "wager," an argument about the existence of God. But there was much more to Pascal and his brilliance. 
     
     
     
    In this accessible and well-documented study, philosopher Douglas Groothuis introduces listeners to Pascal's life as well as the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, including his contributions to mathematics, science, ethics, and theology. Groothuis overviews the key points of Pascal's Pensées, which captures his thoughts about God, humanity, and Jesus Christ. Listeners will also explore Pascal's views on a range of topics, including culture, politics, Islam, and miracles. 
     
     
     
    Often quoted and often misunderstood, Pascal is a complex figure whose writings have charmed, puzzled, and inspired readers across the centuries. With guidance from a leading Christian thinker and longtime student of Pascal, Beyond the Wager takes you on a journey to discover the riches Pascal has to offer today.
