Beschreibung

In "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World," Ignatius Donnelly embarks on an ambitious exploration of the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis, proposing that it serves as the root from which many ancient cultures stemmed. The book weaves together elements of mythology, archaeology, and history, illustrating Donnelly's belief in a prehistorical advanced society that influenced global civilizations. His literary style is characterized by passionate rhetoric and a persuasive tone, often blurring the lines between speculative theory and academic inquiry, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with lost worlds and ancient mysteries. Donnelly, a noted politician and writer from Minnesota, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual milieu of the late 19th century, particularly the rise of Darwinian thought and theories of ancient civilizations. His extensive research combined with a personal obsession with the myths surrounding Atlantis informed his argument that myriad cultural parallels across the globe point to a singular, advanced civilization. This fervent belief was propelled further by his desire to challenge contemporary scientific orthodoxy and popularize a narrative that transcended the prevailing historical accounts. "Atlantis: The Antediluvian World" is highly recommended for readers intrigued by the intersections of history, myth, and archaeology. Donnelly's compelling narrative invites readers to reconsider accepted historical paradigms and fuels the imagination about lost epochs. Engaging and thought-provoking, this work is essential for those interested in the enduring allure of Atlantis and its impacts on our understanding of ancient civilizations.

    Did you know that Russia, as a united state, was not formed until the 16th century? 
    Today, Russia is the biggest and one of the most populous countries in the world. From the early, primitive state-like formations in the 9th century, all the way to the creation of the first true tsardom of Russia in 1547, the history of medieval Russia is one filled with constant struggles for power, personal rivalries between various princes, bloody wars, and a search for identity. 
    This period, which spans about eight centuries, is often forgotten when talking about Russia, despite its importance. Nowadays, people’s perception of Russia is largely defined by the era of the Soviet Union, and it is not hard to understand why. However, exploring such a pivotal period that shaped modern Russia is a must for everybody who is even partially interested in the history of the world.

    Winner, 2018 Book Excellence Award 
    "An invaluable resource for parents, teachers, coaches, ministers, and anyone who has a teenager they love and want to help along the grief journey." - Glen Lord, President, Board of Directors, The Compassionate Friends 
    Teens are hurting.  
    While trying to make sense of an increasingly confusing and troubled world, teens get hit - again and again - with moves, separations, divorces, rejections, substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, illness, disability, and death. 
    Edgy, fun-loving, tech-driven, and seemingly indestructible, teens' souls are shaking. Gnawing questions surface from deep inside: "How did this happen? Why me? Is this my fault? What am I supposed to do? Am I going to make it?"  
    Teen hearts are at stake. Each one is a priceless treasure. We can't afford to allow pain and loss to get the better of them.  
    Award-winning author and grief counselor Gary Roe wrote Teen Grief at the request of parents, teachers, coaches, and school counselors. Born of personal experience and more than three decades of interacting with grieving teens, this informative, practical handbook is replete with guidance, insight, and ideas for helping teens navigate the turbulent waters of loss. Though Teen Grief primarily focuses on losses due to death, the principles discussed can be applied to any loss a teen might be experiencing. 
    Teens are the future. If we can help them discover how to turn losses into gains and transform hardship into something productive, positive, and good, the ripple effects could be extraordinary. As they heal and grow, they can become the difference-makers this world so desperately needs.  
    Teens need us. It's time to help them heal.

    The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
     
     
     
    Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
     
     
     
    Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
     
    The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.
