Beschreibung

The Boys' and Girls' Herodotus is a whimsical yet insightful adaptation of the ancient historian's works, tailored for younger audiences. This volume distills Herodotus's expansive narratives about the Greco-Persian Wars and the diverse cultures of the ancient world into engaging, digestible tales. The literary style balances vivid storytelling with accessible language, ensuring that complex historical events and figures resonate with children. The book captures the essence of Herodotus'Äôs inquisitive spirit, inviting readers to explore the interplay of legend and factual history, thereby serving both educational and entertainment purposes. Herodotus, often celebrated as the 'Father of History,' was born in Halicarnassus in the 5th century BCE. His passion for exploring the world and documenting human experience is evident in his original works, which amalgamate history, geography, and ethnography. The impetus for The Boys' and Girls' Herodotus likely stems from a desire to render this historical wealth accessible to younger generations, fostering curiosity about the past and nurturing early critical thinking. This delightful retelling invites young readers to embark on a journey through history, enhancing their understanding of ancient civilizations and the significance of cultural narratives. I highly recommend this book for educators, parents, and budding historians eager to discover the wonders of the ancient world.

    An acclaimed economist’s observations on four years of events that have shaped the world 
     
    In this new volume drawn from his columns for the French newspaper Le Monde, renowned economist Thomas Piketty takes measure of the world since 2021: leaders grappling with the aftershocks of a global pandemic; politics shifting rightward in Europe and America; and wars breaking out and escalating, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Together with an extended introductory essay arguing that an ecological socialism remains the best hope for global equality, these articles present Piketty’s vivid first draft of history—on the rise of China, political upheaval, armed conflict, inequity within and between nations, discrimination, and beyond. Despite the gathering clouds, Piketty continues to find reasons for hope.

    Memes have been part of computer-assisted communication almost since the development of the first consumer browser (the "WorldWideWeb") in 1990. The Internet's ability to provide a public sphere for people to discuss the issues of the day and other topics of interest means that people can use the language of the Internet to express themselves in ways that would not be feasible in the real world. Those bits of content are native to the Internet that it feels obvious to want to understand why they are so compelling to tens of millions of people that use smartphones, tablets, computers, and other smart devices. 
      
    This book seeks to explain how memes influence societies and cultures beyond the confines of social networking services. It will begin by reviewing the fundamental definitions that frame discussions about memes in popular culture and academic research. There will be a connection between theoretical concepts about memes and the memetic content itself. Each chapter will be using one theorist's work to dig a little deeper into what makes memes effective modes of engagement between people online.

    The authoritative cultural history of Virginia's most famous accused witch 
     
     
     
    In 1706, Grace Sherwood was "ducked" after her neighbors in Princess Anne County accused her of witchcraft. Binding and throwing her into the Lynnhaven River, they waited to see whether she would float to the top (evidence of her guilt) or sink (proof of her innocence). Incredibly, she survived. This bizarre spectacle became an early piece of Virginia folklore as stories about Sherwood, the "Witch of Pungo," spread. Her legend still looms large in Tidewater. In 2006, Governor Tim Kaine even issued an informal pardon of Sherwood, read aloud by the mayor of Virginia Beach before the annual reenactment of Sherwood's ducking. 
     
     
     
    This is the first book to explore Grace Sherwood's life and cultural impact in depth. Anyone interested in colonial Virginia, American folklore, and the history and legacy of witch trials will find much to enjoy in this spellbinding book.
