Sinopse

In "Every Day Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony," George Francis Dow offers an incisive exploration of the daily experiences of the settlers in one of America's earliest and most significant colonies. Through meticulous research and vivid descriptive prose, Dow creates a rich tapestry of the social, economic, and cultural practices that shaped the lives of the Puritan inhabitants. The book is structured thematically, providing readers with insights into domestic life, religious practices, and community engagements, all framed within the early 17th-century context. Dow's literary style is both engaging and scholarly, making extensive use of primary sources that illuminate the nuances of colonial life often overlooked by contemporary historians. George Francis Dow was a dedicated historian and an avid collector of historical artifacts, specializing in New England's colonial period. His intense interest in the details of daily living and cultural heritage likely stemmed from his commitment to preserving history, as evidenced by his previous works. Dow's attention to the socio-political environment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony reveals his understanding of how that historical backdrop influenced the settlers' choices and interactions. This book is essential for anyone interested in early American history, offering a comprehensive overview that transcends mere dates and events to reveal the heart of a community. It serves as an invaluable resource for historians, educators, and general readers alike, inviting them to step into the shoes of the colonists and experience their lives firsthand.

    A long time ago Finns, Finno-Ugric tribes and Baltic tribes practised animistic nature-based belief, where everything in nature had its own place and spirit. Trees were widely worshipped. Some trees, holier than others were called spirit trees. In this course, you will learn about ancient tree worship and mythologies and stories told about different tree species and gods, goddesses and magical creatures related to them. How these trees were used in folk magic and how people saw them. Sacred groves were very common. These special places were thought to harbour gods and goddesses, so they were also worshipped and given sacrificial gifts of food, drink and treasures.Altars were built in these groves for the purpose of worship. An altar was usually a large stone or a wooden table holding a statue or an image of a particular deity.Sacred groves were communally owned by an entire village and were generally located in the woods near the village. People could visit a grove alone or in groups to show reverence to the gods. It was believed that trees understood humans, especially women. People told their troubles to trees and felt certain that the trees kept their secrets.In the old days, people relied more on the forest than they do today. The entire forest ecosystem offered almost all of the materials needed for life: shelter and abundant food like berries, plants, mushrooms and animals.Learn about the Christmas tree tradition and how it arrived in Finland and the tree emuu's, these were spirits that created the different tree species. This course also includes tips for those of you who are interested in grounding and building better spiritual connections with nature and your surroundings.  
    Niina Pekantytär aka Fairychamber is known for her passion and knowledge of Finnish mythology and folklore. Born in northern Finland, Niina grew up listening to these stories from a very young age.

    Ever opened Being and Time and wondered if your brain had a stroke? 
    Ever wanted to understand Heidegger, but all you got was a migraine and a vague sense of personal failure? 
    This is the book for you. 
    Being Really Confused is the hilariously brutal, no-holds-barred, sarcasm-soaked guide to Martin Heidegger’s philosophical fever dream. Whether you’re a burned-out philosophy major, a curious masochist, or someone who just wants to sound terrifyingly deep at brunch, this book unpacks the most infamously unreadable thinker of the 20th century—with jokes, rants, and zero patience for pretension. 
    Inside, you'll find: 
    What “Dasein” actually means (spoiler: it’s just you, but anxious) 
    How to ruin conversations with phrases like “Being-toward-death” 
    Why “the they” is probably responsible for your haircut 
    And how to survive Being and Time without filing a lawsuit against your own brain 
    Equal parts roast and revelation, this book doesn’t just explain Heidegger—it drags him, hugs him, then drags him again. 
    Read it if: 
    You want to laugh at existential dread 
    You love philosophy but hate suffering 
    You’ve been pretending to understand Heidegger and want to finally maybe mean it 
    Warning: May cause spontaneous existential crises, unbearable smugness, and the urge to buy a black turtleneck.

  • German Tanks in the World Wars: The History of Germany’s Most Famous Tanks during Both Conflicts - cover

    German Tanks in the World Wars:...

    One of the most important breakthroughs in military technology associated with World War I, and certainly the one that continues to capture the public imagination, was the introduction of a war machine that came to dominate the face of land battles throughout most of the 20th century: the tank. As a concept, it was not revolutionary; in fact, it harkened back to classical antiquity and to the Middle Ages, such as the covered battering rams and testudos which had made frequent appearances on ancient battlefields. In essence, it was designed to solve the age-old problem of protecting infantry from enemy projectiles while remaining mobile. 	Ironically, Germany, which would subsequently become famous for panzers and blitzkrieg warfare, was late in taking up the idea. During World War I, the Germans continued to rely on other techniques, and they produced less than two dozen models for battlefield use.  
    	The beginning of World War II found the major powers developing tanks to some extent, but lingering ideas from World War I affected the development of tanks during the Interwar period. As a result, aside from the blitzkrieg doctrine developed by the Nazis, tanks were still used in terms of infantry support, and there were few wars during this period to give strategists the chance to develop better uses for the new armored vehicles before World War II started. Commanders soon found that many of the tanks fielded in the campaigns of 1939-1941 lacked the necessary armor, guns, and designs. Inevitably, tactics evolved throughout the war. The Germans were early leaders in tank tactics, as their successes from Poland through the opening phases of Operation Barbarossa demonstrated. The main German tank tactic was the so-called Schwerpunkt (“center of gravity”), in which a concentration of tanks achieved a local superiority, broke through, and drove deep behind enemy lines.
