Beschreibung

History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from the Phoenician Civilization to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.

The Phoenicians have gone down in history as the original seafarers of the world. It's interesting to note that they were considered a lost civilization until archeologists and etymologists discovered ancient writings from Phoenicia that revealed vital information about the civilization. They existed from 1500-300 B.C. influencing what would be the origins of maritime trade. The Phoenicians would establish colonies through riches and territories gained through maritime trade and wished one of their trading cities to be a formidable enemy to Ancient Rome.
Their name Phoenicia is believed to come from the Greeks referencing the purple dye that they specialized in that was highly coveted. The alphabet and trading tactics of the Phoenicians influenced the Greeks, Egyptians, and other ancient civilizations around them almost as much as their trade did. Even mentioned in the Bible, modern-day Lebanon is believed to be what is left of the Phoenician civilization. I am not “

Civics for the World to Come -...

Antero Garcia, Nicole Mira

Help students use their voices to build an equitable and just society. 
 
 
 
Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? 
 
 
 
Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesizing perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking, and Advocacy) and introduce listeners to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

Kirsten Wolf

Spend 24 hours immersed in the rich and fascinating everyday lives of the Vikings. 
 
 
 
Between the infamous Lindisfarne raid in 793 CE and the Norman conquest of 1066, the peoples we know now as the Vikings became one of the most far-ranging and influential civilizations in history.

The Problem of Democracy -...

Shadi Hamid

What happens when democracy produces "bad" outcomes? Is democracy good because of its outcomes or despite them? This "democratic dilemma" is one of the most persistent, vexing problems for America abroad, particularly in the Middle East—we want democracy in theory but not necessarily in practice. 
 
 
 
When Islamist parties rise to power through free elections, the United States has too often been ambivalent or opposed, preferring instead pliable dictators. With this legacy of democratic disrespect in mind, and drawing on new interviews with top American officials, Shadi Hamid explores universal questions of morality, power, and hypocrisy. Why has the United States failed so completely to live up to its own stated ideals in the Arab world? And is it possible for it to change? 
 
 
 
In The Problem of Democracy, Hamid offers an ambitious reimagining of this ongoing debate and argues for "democratic minimalism" as a path to resolving democratic dilemmas in the Middle East and beyond. In the seemingly eternal tension between democracy and liberalism, recognized by the ancient Greeks and the American founders alike, it may be time to prioritize one over the other, rather than acting as if the two are intertwined when increasingly they are not.

Napoleon's Europe - Empire and...

Nova Ashford

Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most influential figures in world history, rose from modest beginnings to become the emperor of France and the master of much of Europe. Born on August 15, 1769, on the island of Corsica, Napoleon came from a relatively modest family. His father, a lawyer, was part of the minor nobility, but the family’s wealth was limited. Despite these humble origins, Napoleon's extraordinary ambition, sharp intellect, and relentless drive would propel him into the center of European politics, shaping the future of the continent.
Napoleon’s early life was marked by education at military academies, where his talent for strategy and leadership quickly became apparent. At the age of 16, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the French army. His rise through the ranks coincided with the turmoil of the French Revolution, which fundamentally altered France and its political landscape. In 1789, the French Revolution erupted, dismantling the monarchy and challenging traditional structures of power. It was in this chaotic period that Napoleon saw his opportunity.
During the Revolution, Napoleon initially made his name through his military prowess, especially during the Italian Campaign in the late 1790s. His innovative tactics and leadership were crucial in securing French victories against Austria and its allies. These victories not only increased Napoleon’s reputation but also solidified his status as one of France’s most brilliant generals. By 1799, France was embroiled in political instability, and the government—the Directory—was weakened by corruption and poor leadership. Amid this instability, Napoleon seized the moment to take control.
