Sinopsis

In "The History of Tammany Hall," Gustavus Myers presents a meticulous examination of one of America'Äôs most notorious political organizations. Written in a journalistic yet scholarly style, the book employs a critical lens to dissect Tammany Hall'Äôs origins, rise to power, and eventual decline, integrating contemporary socio-political contexts that illuminate the interplay of corruption and democracy in New York City. Myers's work is rich with anecdotes, historical accounts, and biographical sketches of key figures, providing readers with a comprehensive narrative that encapsulates the complex dynamics of urban politics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gustavus Myers, an esteemed journalist and historian, dedicated much of his career to advocating for social justice and uncovering systemic corruption. His experiences observing political machinations and his commitment to revealing the underbelly of American governance drove him to investigate the inner workings of Tammany Hall. Myers'Äôs scholarly pursuits were influenced by the Progressive Movement, which sought to address issues of inequality and political malfeasance head-on, positioning his work within a larger discourse on reform and accountability. This book is essential for readers interested in American political history or urban studies, as it not only narrates the saga of Tammany Hall but also serves as a cautionary tale about the vulnerabilities of democratic institutions. Myers's insightful analysis delivers timeless lessons about power, ethics, and the ongoing struggle for transparency in governance.

    Behind a gruesome ISIS beheading video lies the untold story of the men in orange and the faith community that formed these unlikely modern-day saints and heroes.In a carefully choreographed propaganda video released in February 2015, ISIS militants behead twenty-one orange-clad Christian men on a Libyan beach.In the West, daily reports of new atrocities may have displaced the memory of this particularly vile event. But not in the world from which the murdered came. All but one were young Coptic Christian migrant workers from Egypt. Acclaimed literary writer Martin Mosebach traveled to the Egyptian village of El-Aour to meet their families and better understand the faith and culture that shaped such conviction.He finds himself welcomed into simple concrete homes through which swallows dart. Portraits of Jesus and Mary hang on the walls along with roughhewn shrines to now-famous loved ones. Mosebach is amazed time and again as, surrounded by children and goats, the bereaved replay the cruel propaganda video on an iPad. There is never any talk of revenge, but only the pride of having a martyr in the family, a saint in heaven. “The 21” appear on icons crowned like kings, celebrated even as their community grieves. A skeptical Westerner, Mosebach finds himself a stranger in this world in which everything is the reflection or fulfillment of biblical events, and facing persecution with courage is part of daily life.In twenty-one symbolic chapters, each preceded by a picture, Mosebach offers a travelogue of his encounter with a foreign culture and a church that has preserved the faith and liturgy of early Christianity – the “Church of the Martyrs.” As a religious minority in Muslim Egypt, the Copts find themselves caught in a clash of civilizations. This book, then, is also an account of the spiritual life of an Arab country stretched between extremism and pluralism, between a rich biblical past and the shopping centers of New Cairo.

    Trust is the cornerstone of human relationships, whether personal, professional, or societal. It is the belief that others will act with integrity, honor their commitments, and respect our boundaries. Trust provides a sense of security, allowing us to open ourselves up to others, share our vulnerabilities, and work collaboratively toward common goals. When trust is present, relationships thrive on mutual respect and understanding. However, when trust is violated, the very foundation of these relationships is shattered. 
    A trust violation occurs when someone breaks the confidence that has been placed in them. This breach can take many forms: from small betrayals like breaking a promise to major violations such as lying, cheating, or stealing. The consequences of a trust violation are profound, as they not only damage the relationship but also affect the individual’s emotional and psychological well-being. Trust violations often result in feelings of betrayal, hurt, confusion, and a loss of confidence in others. These emotional reactions can be difficult to overcome and may lead to long-lasting consequences. 
    In this book, we explore the different facets of trust violations, from their causes to their effects, as well as strategies for healing and rebuilding trust. Understanding the nature of trust violations is essential for recognizing how they affect us and those around us. By examining the psychological, emotional, and social consequences of betrayal, we can begin to understand the complexities of the experience and the challenges involved in overcoming it.

    The Housemaid’s Revolt reimagines the domestic thriller as a political act. Beneath the surface of servitude and civility, it uncovers a world built on invisible labor, quiet endurance, and the myth of gratitude. The housemaid is no longer a background figure — she becomes a philosopher of survival, observing the architecture of power from inside its walls. Her revolt is not an explosion but an awakening: the decision to stop cleaning up the messes of others, to stop mistaking obedience for goodness. A modern parable of class, gender, and rebellion, this book transforms the symbol of the servant into a mirror of the modern condition — where exploitation wears a smile, and rebellion begins with a refusal to disappear.

    The biggest challenge for authors is transitioning from being a writer to being an author, which are two totally different occupations. Many authors have the mindset that once they are published, their publisher handles all marketing and the sales come in like magic. In today's world, that is not reality, no matter how you are published. 
     
    Written by publisher and author, Terri Ann Leidich, and author marketing coach and support, Julie Bromley, this book simplifies marketing by taking the approach of Get Ready, Get Set, Succeed, putting marketing tasks into a logical order of what needs to be done and when so authors don't have to figure that out for themselves
