Sinossi

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.

    The sons of liberty are celebrated in the rebellious history of Boston—but what of their sisters? An audacious and determined procession of reformers, socialites, criminals, and madams made the city what it is today. One hundred years before Rosa Parks, African American abolitionist Sarah Parker Remond refused to give up her seat while attending a play in Boston. Fiery activists Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall led a boycott against bird plumage in ladies' dress and brought the fashion industry to its knees. Rachel Wall was the last woman to be hanged in Massachusetts after leading a daring life as a robber and pirate. Later, women like Boston Marathon runner Kathrine Switzer also blazed their own trails. Author Dina Vargo unearths the remarkable stories of the wild women of the Hub.

    This is a debut work by Washington, DC area native writer and poet. It's a coming of age tale about a late bloomer who grew up feeling like a misfit. It's also the story of a young Jewish woman who wanted to be an edgy punk rocker but was too afraid to incur motherly guilt. True to her character, she weaves her ardor for music and nature all throughout the book. The author grew up in the 80's when not much was known about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); something she was diagnosed with at the young age of five. She always struggled to keep up in classes and was teased for being too slow, too sensitive and too short. As a young girl and adolescent, her passion for music and the outdoors allowed her to escape reality. As life became more complex, the author turned to adventure, alcohol, marijuana and men.  
    She had zany experiences traveling throughout the United States, as well as Jamaica and Israel -- always on a quest to find "her" people and a place of belonging. The author epitomized "failure to launch" and tried her hand at a number of careers including: being a barista, a Montessori elementary school teacher; a recycling specialist; an administrative assistant; and an entrepreneur before finally landing. Eventually this small, Jewish girl with ADHD transformed herself into a woman of grit and grace. She found she belonged to a sober community that she never imagined she'd join and today, uses her life's lessons as a power for good.  
    The author now helps those struggling with ADHD, addiction, anxiety and other mental health issues to focus on their own paths to healing. She once berated herself for being an unruly dandelion stuck among organized rows of roses. Today, Rachel Leigh Wills is proud to call herself a wildflower and help others to sow seeds of self-compassion and self-esteem. Hope you'll enjoy reading. Sincerely, Rachel Leigh Wills

    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.

    Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state, and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political science's current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seek political office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black women's political ambition often manifests outside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization, and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black women's political work. By focusing on Black women's experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.
