Sinopsis

'The Border Rifles' is an intriguing novel on the Texas Revolution (1835-1836) by GustaveAimard. The Texas Revolution was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Hispanic Texans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico.
Excerpt:
"The immense virgin forests which once covered the soil of North America are more and more disappearing before the busy axes of the squatters and pioneers, whose insatiable activity removes the desert frontier further and further to the west.Flourishing towns, well tilled and carefully-sown fields, now occupy regions where, scarce ten years ago, rose impenetrable forests, whose dense foliage hardly allowed the sunbeams to penetrate, and whose unexplored depths sheltered animals of every description, and served as a retreat for hordes of nomadic Indians, who, in their martial ardour, frequently caused these majestic domes of verdure to re-echo with their war-yell."

    Read by the author. 
    Asking the hard questions about immigration in light of Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves. 
    You've seen the headlines. You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause. 
    We wonder how it would impact our culture and communities if we showed welcome to the world, and many of us wonder how to separate the political rhetoric and talking points on present day immigration from what the Bible really has to say about immigrants and strangers. 
    Start with Welcome dives into the whole narrative of Scripture to better understand what God calls us to do concerning immigrants and refugees. Bri Stensrud will guide you through pressing questions that will ignite your compassion and leave you curious about our calling as followers of Christ—questions like:Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue?What does the Bible say about Immigrants?Who is Welcome here?What does Christlike Welcome look like? 
      
    You have questions. You have fears. But you also have compassion. 
    So, let's start there. 
    Bri Stensrud welcomes you into the conversation—a conversation that’s more urgent now than ever. It all starts with one word: Welcome. 
    Pictures and discussion questions can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Did the girl of your dreams turn into your worst nightmare? Recognize the signs of a narcissistic partner and learn what you can do today! 
    Get your copy of Narcissistic Women and discover how to:Spot a narcissistic woman before starting a relationship with her.Recognize a narcissistic wife, manage the divorce, and navigate co-parenting.Protect your children from parental alienation.Recognize financial abuse and recover from it.Heal from codependency and narcissistic abuse syndrome.Break old toxic relationship patterns and learn to appreciate healthy, empathetic, balanced adult women. 
    ...and much more. 
    It can be extremely difficult for men to recognize and admit when a woman has abused them. This is due to a cultural stigma: in our society, admitting abuse is considered shameful for men. 
    Therefore, when experiencing an abusive relationship, men face an additional obstacle - lack of understanding and resources. Since the mental health industry is hyper-feminized, men are often left alone with their problems, feeling like they have no way out. Their suffering is often neither acknowledged nor addressed. 
    Prior to this book's publication, male victims of narcissistic women didn't receive the recognition they deserved, and the issue of female narcissists was regularly downplayed. 
    If you're an empathetic man suffering from narcissistic abuse, it can be especially hard to seek and obtain help due to social stigma. 
    Caroline Foster wrote this book to help you escape your toxic relationship, begin healing, and regain control of your life - so you can find your true soulmate.Ready to turn a new page in your life story? Start listening now!

    From time immemorial, humans have been making deals, consuming goods, cultivating interests, thereby manifesting specific forms of life. Now, these forms of life solidify automatically by transforming into data. Webfare, a form of digital welfare, seeks to initiate a Copernican revolution that places need instead of merit at the center of society. In 21st-century welfare, consumption and production will be considered as the two faces of the same reality. The possibility to create new value is precisely what sets Webfare apart from traditional welfare: it recognizes the new value created by the Web, and aims to use it for everyone's well-being.

    This is a biography of Earthopolis, the only Urban Planet we know of. It is a history of how cities gave humans immense power over Earth, for good and for ill. Carl Nightingale takes readers on a sweeping six-continent, six-millennium tour of the world’s cities, culminating in the last 250 years, when we vastly accelerated our planetary realms of action, habitat, and impact, courting dangerous new consequences and opening prospects for new hope. In Earthopolis we peek into our cities’ homes, neighborhoods, streets, shops, eating houses, squares, marketplaces, religious sites, schools, universities, offices, monuments, docklands, and airports to discover connections between small spaces and the largest things we have built. The book exposes the Urban Planet’s deep inequalities of power, wealth, access to knowledge, class, race, gender, sexuality, religion, and nation. It asks us to draw on the most just and democratic moments of Earthopolis’s past to rescue its future.
