Sinossi

In "Geronimo's Story of His Life," the renowned Apache leader shares his gripping memoir, offering an unprecedented perspective on the tumultuous period of the American Southwest during the late 19th century. Written in collaboration with historian S. M. Barrett, this narrative combines vivid personal anecdotes with a powerful oral tradition, capturing Geronimo's experiences of resistance against American encroachment and his relentless fight for the survival of his people. The text juxtaposes his cultural heritage with the violent realities of assimilation, encapsulating the struggle of Indigenous peoples through emotionally charged prose and poignant reflections, all ensconced within the broader context of Native American history and colonial expansion. Geronimo, born Goyahkla, became a symbol of indigenous resistance after his significant role in the Apache Wars. His leadership stemmed from a deep cultural heritage and personal tragedy, including the loss of family members to settler violence. Having experienced both his people's suffering and the complexities of negotiating peace, Geronimo's account is enriched by personal conviction, making it not just a memoir, but a vital historical document. This book is essential for readers interested in Indigenous narratives, American history, and the complexities of cultural survival. Geronimo's voice resonates with authenticity, providing insights into a narrative often overlooked, inviting readers to empathize with the resilience of those fighting for identity and freedom.

A Billion Butterflies - A Life...

Dr. Jagadish Shukla

The amazing true story of the man behind modern weather predictionConsider a world without weather prediction. How would we know when to evacuate communities ahead of fires or floods, or figure out what to wear tomorrow? Until 40 years ago, we couldn’t forecast weather conditions beyond ten days. Renowned climate scientist Dr. Jagadish Shukla is largely to thank for modern weather forecasting. Born in rural India with no electricity, plumbing, or formal schools, he attended classes that were held in a cow shed. Shukla grew up amid turmoil: overwhelming monsoons, devastating droughts, and unpredictable crop yields. His drive brought him to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, despite little experience. He then followed an unlikely path to MIT and Princeton, and the highest echelons of climate science. His work, which has enabled us to predict weather farther into the future than previously thought possible, allows us to feed more people, save lives, and hold on to hope in a warming world.Paired with his philanthropic endeavors and extreme dedication to the field, Dr. Shukla has been lauded internationally for his achievements, including a shared Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for his governmental research on climate change. A Billion Butterflies is a wondrous insider’s account of climate science and an unbelievable memoir of his life. Understanding dynamical seasonal prediction will change the way you experience a thunderstorm or interpret a forecast; understanding its origins and the remarkable story of the man who discovered it will change the way you see our world.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Saurabh Singh Chauhan

This is small part of introduction of the book: Welcome, dear reader, to the captivating journey through the life and wisdom of one of history's most remarkable minds—Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher. As we step back in time, we'll uncover the profound insights and contributions that have left an indelible mark on philosophy, science, and our understanding of the world. 
Aristotle's tale begins in the ancient city of Stagira, nestled in Macedonia. Born in 384 BCE, this curious young soul would grow to be a beacon of knowledge, illuminating the path for generations to come. From his early days, it was clear that he possessed a thirst for understanding the very essence of existence. 
Venturing to Athens, Aristotle found his intellectual haven at Plato's Academy. There, his agile mind soaked in the teachings of the great Plato, forging a solid foundation for his own ideas. And so, our journey takes flight—a journey that sees Aristotle evolve from a keen learner to a brilliant thinker who challenged convention and explored the secrets of nature.

Later, Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the fort's chapel. Legendary Jim Beckwourth was associated with both Fort Vasquez and Fort Pueblo.

After the Fires - Unlocking the...

Nozipho Tshabalala

Nozipho Tshabalala is a high-performing, excellence-driven, successful black woman. Being in control of everything in her life was crucial to her survival 
and success. For the most part, it had always served her well – until it didn’t. In this captivating and deeply personal memoir, conversation strategist 
Nozipho invites you into her world – one shaped by political violence, professional triumphs on global stages and the intimate battles with loss that 
would test her most fundamental beliefs. Now in her 40s, she has realised that what she needed most to survive may not be what she needs to thrive. 
After the Fires is a call to reclaim the narrative amid life’s unexpected turns. It honours the complexity of womanhood while celebrating the possibility of 
becoming exactly who you were meant to be, even when that person looks nothing like what you imagined. With vulnerability and wisdom, Nozipho demonstrates how surrender becomes not an act of defeat but a pathway to freedom. Her story reminds us that sometimes our greatest strength lies not in holding tighter but in opening our hands to release what no longer serves us.
