Sinossi

François Guizot's monumental work, "The History of France" (Vol. 1-6), offers a comprehensive and systematic examination of the nation's past, intricately weaving political, social, and cultural narratives into a cohesive historical fabric. Written in the 19th century, at a time of significant political upheaval transitioning to a modern state, Guizot employs a lucid and engaging literary style that deftly combines analytical rigor with a narrative richness. His work is not merely a chronological account; it explores the causative factors behind historical events, providing valuable insights into the evolution of French society and governance. Guizot, a prominent historian and statesman with close ties to the July Monarchy, was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment ideals of rationality and progress. His academic journey, combined with his political career, gave him a unique perspective on the interplay between history and contemporary governance. His experiences in public life, alongside his fervent belief in the power of education and reason, undoubtedly shaped the narrative and interpretative techniques employed in this epic work. This seminal series is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand France's complex historical landscape. It is an invaluable resource for historians, political scientists, and general readers alike, offering profound insights into the challenges and triumphs of a nation that has shaped world history. Guizot's work stands as a testament to the importance of historical context in the development of contemporary society.

    John R. Brinkley (July 8, 1885 – May 26, 1942) became nationally known as the "goat gland doctor" for his controversial medical practice that promised virility for his male patients. He was a pioneer in radio broadcasting and advertising, as he promoted his services to his large listening audience. Despite detractors and critics in the medical community thoroughly discrediting his methods, Brinkley operated clinics and hospitals in several states for two decades. When opposition from the organized medical community resulted in revocation of his radio and medical license he turned to politics, with two failed runs for the governorship of Kansas. Brinkley's rise to fame and fortune was as precipitous as his eventual fall: At the height of his career he had amassed millions of dollars; yet he died sick and nearly penniless, as a result of a number of malpractice, wrongful death and fraud suits brought against him.

  • The Inclusive Language Field Guide - 6 Simple Principles for Avoiding Painful Mistakes and Communicating Respectfully - cover

    The Inclusive Language Field...

    Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant. 
     
    In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you "cancelled." People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. 
      
    But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: 
      
    - Reflect reality 
    - Show respect 
    - Draw people in 
    - Incorporate other perspectives 
    - Prevent erasure 
    - Recognize pain points 
      
    This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it. 
     
    Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

    Are you keen to perfect your writing? This audiobook will teach you how to be a stylish, insightful and convincing writer. This compilation includes Twain's On the Decay of the Art of Lying, Strunk's The Elements of Style, and Bennett's The Author's Craft - all in one.The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr first clarifies the writer's understanding of how to - correctly. In it, Strunk has laid a detailed, essential map, one he believed pays off, for in unlocking the secrets of style, one opens the terrain for mastery of literature.Now over a century since its first publication, the book is anything but outdated, as it is still widely used today – just testament to Strunk’s timeless knowledge and mastery with the pen."The skilled observer ... does not have to change his mind." – Arnold Bennett.The Author's Craft is Arnold Bennett’s four-part writing tutorial. As an esteemed journalist, novelist and playwright, he believed truly 'Seeing Life' primed the pen, out of which 'Writing Novels', 'Writing Plays' and 'The Artist and The Public' emerge. In the exposition, he expands on how to see the world, and how to not overlook the details most miss… These skills and techniques give rise to the craft he feels the author is really trying to achieve: art.Mark Twain’s “On the Decay of the Art of Lying” was his wryly told essay on why he felt the world needs educated lying, published in 1880 for a meeting of the Historical and Antiquarian Club of Hartford, Connecticut. The way he saw it, everyone lies at some point in their lives. Twain decided that lying could be a valuable skillset in various different arenas - provided you knew how to do it well, and didn’t try to hurt anybody. As he put it, "What chance has the ignorant uncultivated liar against the educated expert? What chance have I against Mr. Per—against a lawyer? Judicious lying is what the world needs."

    If you were sexually abused as a child or minor and its consequences still affect your life, read this. 
    You are no longer alone. For years, I didn’t understand the source of my anger. Past and present were tangled, leaving me feeling rejected and abandoned. To find clarity, I tried several therapeutic approaches, alone and in groups. The secret buried in my memory poisoned my life. All I wanted was to feel better, but I didn’t know how. 
    Years passed before I discovered the truth. My life felt like a windswept leaf—frustration and anger ruled me. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom—overreacting to comments, without a job or money, asked to move out—that my body reminded me of the trauma I had buried: childhood sexual abuse. 
    Common behaviors among victims include: 
    Trust issues 
    Taking care of others at their own expense 
    Persistent anger or panic 
    Overreacting to remarks 
    Living aimlessly or trying to escape 
    Inability to focus on real needs or make decisions 
    Difficulty identifying priorities 
    Possible post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
    Talking about such pain is difficult, yet its effects often lead to destructive behavior. Joining a support group helped me understand that victims of childhood sexual abuse are survivors. Through readings and exercises with the group, I learned to recognize my wounds and name long-repressed emotions. 
    If you believe your life could be better without anger or shame, this book is for you.
