Sinopsis

In "Archaic England," Harold Bayley offers a profound exploration of England's early history, tracing the intricate tapestry of its ancient cultures and traditions. With meticulous research and a narrative style that combines eloquence with scholarly rigor, Bayley delves into a range of subjects, from prehistoric artifacts to the customs that shaped the medieval landscape. His examination of archaeology, folklore, and linguistics not only contextualizes England's past but also reflects the broader literary currents of the early 20th century, when historical inquiry was increasingly interdisciplinary, challenging conventional narratives of national identity. Harold Bayley, a noted antiquarian and historian, was profoundly influenced by the rich cultural heritage of England. His extensive travels across the English countryside and his passion for uncovering the stories behind ancient artifacts cultivated his desire to illuminate the past for contemporary readers. Bayley's academic background in the humanities, coupled with his affinity for folklore, equipped him with a unique perspective to craft a work that significantly contributes to the understanding of archaic England and its impact on modern society. Engaging and enlightening, "Archaic England" is a must-read for history enthusiasts and scholars alike. Bayley's ability to weave together narratives of ordinary people and monumental events creates a vivid portrait of a bygone era. Readers seeking a deeper appreciation for the foundations upon which contemporary England stands will find this work both informative and inspiring.

Generation Gap - Why the Baby...

Kevin Munger

The Baby Boomers are the largest and most powerful generation in American history—and they aren't going away any time soon. They dominate cultural and political institutions and make up the largest slice of the electorate. Generational conflict, with Millennials and Generation Z pitted against the aging Boomer cohort, has become a media staple. The generation gap is widening into a political fault line. 
 
 
 
Kevin Munger marshals novel data and survey evidence to argue that generational conflict will define the politics of the next decade. He examines the historical trends that made the Baby Boomers so consequential and traces the emergence of age-based political and cultural divisions. Boomers continue to prefer the media culture of their youth, but Millennials and Gen Z are using the internet to render legacy institutions irrelevant. These divergent media habits have led more people than ever to identify with their generation. Munger shows that a common "cohort consciousness" binds aging Boomer voters into a bloc—but a shared identity and purpose among Millennials and Gen Z could topple Boomer power. 
 
 
 
Bringing together expertise in data analysis and digital culture with keen insight into contemporary politics, Generation Gap explains why the Baby Boomers remain so dominant and how quickly that might change.

SURVIVE - Why We Do What We Do

Jerry Pannone

We’re coming to understand that life in this world is that of an extended family, not just from a human perspective, but from all manner and forms of sentient organisms. The purpose of Survive is not to enumerate the processes of every kind of life up the evolutionary tree, from bacteria to humans, but to look for the common denominators on that tree and to explore what motivators of all life forms share with greater emphasis placed on primates in general, but humans in particular throughout the journey of this book. And, although the concept of survival is evident in a biological sense, it expands far beyond simple physical survival for the human being. The questions of psychological, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual survival, as well as the overriding question of identity all play a role. Who is the “me” that is fighting to survive? That is the existential question we struggle consciously or unconsciously to address.

tremendous discipline.

complete change of ‘what is’.
