Sinopse

In "The Pioneer: A Tale of Two States," Geraldine Bonner crafts a compelling narrative that explores the struggles and triumphs of early American settlers. Written in a rich and evocative literary style, Bonner intertwines historical facts with vivid characterizations, creating a portrait of two states in transition. The text delves into themes of ambition, community, and resilience, capturing the complexities of life on the frontier in the late 19th century, a time when the spirit of exploration defined American identity. Geraldine Bonner, an author deeply rooted in the American literary tradition, draws from her own experiences and heritage as she presents the trials faced by pioneers. Her background in journalism and her keen interest in American history provide the foundational lens through which she examines the personal and societal impacts of westward expansion. Bonner's nuanced understanding of her subjects allows readers to appreciate the historical context that shaped their narratives, making her work resonate with authenticity and depth. This book is an essential read for enthusiasts of American literature and history alike. Bonner's ability to illuminate the human spirit in the face of adversity will engage readers seeking a profound understanding of the pioneer experience. "The Pioneer" stands as a significant contribution to historical fiction, urging us to reflect on our shared past.

    Nurturing growth is a fundamental aspect of both personal and collective development. It is the process of creating an environment where individuals can flourish, reach their full potential, and thrive. The journey of growth involves not only the pursuit of external success but also the cultivation of inner strength, self-awareness, and a deep understanding of one’s purpose. By providing the right kind of support, encouragement, and guidance, it becomes possible to foster an atmosphere where growth is not only achievable but sustainable. 
    At its core, nurturing growth is about offering the necessary resources and fostering the right mindset for individuals to flourish. Growth is not something that happens by accident; it requires conscious effort and dedication. It involves creating the conditions that allow for personal transformation, whether that’s emotional, mental, or spiritual. The importance of growth is multifaceted; it helps individuals develop resilience, adapt to challenges, and become more effective in their endeavors. Encouragement plays a pivotal role in this process, as it can serve as a driving force, helping individuals overcome self-doubt, fear, and obstacles along their journey. 
    Understanding development and flourishing is crucial in the context of nurturing growth. Development refers to the continuous process of improvement, whether in skills, knowledge, or emotional well-being. It’s about evolving into a more capable version of oneself, and it’s a dynamic process that often requires introspection, learning, and self-compassion. Flourishing, on the other hand, is the state of thriving—living a life full of purpose, joy, and fulfillment. It represents not just the absence of difficulties but the active presence of well-being and meaning in life.

    Read by Ellen Burstyn 
    The legendary Academy Award–winning actress reflects on her love affair with poetry and makes us believers. 
    In this beautiful book, Ellen Burstyn celebrates poetic magic and shares her favorite works. Now into her nineties, Ellen reveals she had an evangelical response to learning poetry even as a child and would memorize and recite the works of Edna St Millay to envelope herself in the poet’s deeper emotional landscape. As she continued her epic rise through film and theater—eventually winning an Oscar, a Tony, a BAFTA, and an Emmy—poetry gave voice to her experience as no other literary art form could. She never went anywhere without her curated “poetry pack.” No matter where she was in the world, while waiting on set, in rehearsal, on a train, or just relaxing, she found comfort in verse. 
    For nearly nine decades, poetry has led Ellen on a life of adventure, from a pilgrimage to Rumi’s birthplace to a friendship with Maya Angelou, during which the poet read her work in Ellen’s movie trailer, to selecting the poems to join her in love, in motherhood and in grief. 
    Featuring work by W.B. Yeats, Edna Vincent St. Millay, Rainer Maria Rilke, William Wordsworth, Edgar Allan Poe, William Ernest Henley, and others, Poetry Says It Better is a perfect daily companion for everyone looking to deepen and add meaning to their life experience. Throughout, Burstyn’s charming voice and luminous insights help readers meet her in this poetic celebration—soul to soul.

    Emmanuel Macron lands for the first time in Africa at the Barkhane base in Gao, Mali, on May 14, 2017. His determination is complete: “Operation Barkhane will only end the day there are no more Islamist terrorists in the region and the full sovereignty of the Sahel states is restored. Not before.” 
    Seven years on, jihadists are on the rise, and the French army has been forced to leave Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad may follow… This debacle is not a military one, it’s a political one. With the end of its influence in Africa, France has weakened its army, lost its allies at the United Nations and bid farewell to its singular voice on the international stage.
    Leslie Varenne retraces Emmanuel Macron’s itinerary in Africa since 2017. She recounts a long sequence of lack of strategy, vision, ignorance of African realities, technocratic approaches, mistakes and setbacks that have led to this defeat. To this inventory must be added the problem posed by Emmanuel Macron’s personality and his relations with his peers.
