  Did you know that the Klondike Gold Rush was the biggest and fastest movement of people in North American history? 
  From 1897 to 1898, over 100,000 men and women walked, rode, paddled, and sailed thousands of miles to the Klondike River area of the Canadian Yukon in search of gold. 
  Out of those 100,000 people, only about a quarter ever made it to the goldfields, and those who did mostly went home empty-handed. But for a very lucky, hard-working, and fortunate few, the goldfields of the Yukon meant fame and fortune beyond their wildest dreams. 
  In this audiobook by Captivating History, you will discover the truth about the famous Klondike Stampede. 
  Here’s just a small “nugget” of what you’ll discover:The Klondike River area of the Yukon was the richest gold find in history to that date.The first “strike” was made entirely by accident.The first man to discover gold in the Klondike was a First Nations man named Skookum Jim, but his white brother-in-law filed the first claim because it was felt that a native claim would not be honored.The Gold Rush began with a tale told in a bar.Thousands of cheechakos or “tenderfeet” with no experience in the woods made their way to the Yukon.Men were required to take one thousand pounds of gear into Canada, which meant hiking back and forth in stages, literally covering thousands of miles on what normally would have been a seven-hundred plus mile journey.Thousands of horses and dogs were employed, and thousands were maltreated and killed due to men’s greedHundreds of women joined the rush, most of whom ended up in less than savory occupations.Many of the First Nations people worked as packers and guides for the newcomers, earning more money than most miners ever found.

  Cold Peace - Avoiding the New...

  An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. 
   
   
   
  With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. 
   
   
   
  Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.

  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth 
  Book Summary 
  Neuroscientists estimate that over 90 percent of our operating systems—beliefs, behaviors, patterns—are 
  unconscious. Since the surface story determines less than 10 percent of our decisions, how can we 
  illuminate the shadow story responsible for over 90 percent of what we do each day? Once we 
  systematically understand our relationship with money, our individual meanings and symbolism, can we 
  overcome the mind and brain’s resistance to change? 
  A NEW MONEY STORY: The Beliefs, Behaviors, and Brain Science to Rewire for Wealth will help you 
  recognize, own, and assess each component of your money story. You can then decide what to change, 
  map changes, author new storylines, and even program the changes to transform core identity to make it 
  complete and lasting. This systematic stepwise process to inform and strategically catalyze behavior 
  change will rewrite mind software and revise brain hardware of money stories as they are interwoven with 
  life, wellness, relationship, and career stories. These behavior, mind, and brain changes offer long-term 
  successful strategies, and even can crystallize a vision of your future self to significantly affect positive 
  money decisions.

  Wars of Classical Greece The:...

  The ancient Greeks have long been considered the forefathers of modern Western Civilization, but the Golden Age of Athens and the spread of Greek influence across much of the known world only occurred due to one of the most crucial battles of antiquity: the Battle of Marathon. In 491 B.C., following a successful invasion of Thrace over the Hellespont, the Persian emperor Darius sent envoys to the main Greek city-states, including Sparta and Athens, demanding tokens of earth and water as symbols of submission, but Darius didn’t exactly get the reply he sought. 
  	The Peloponnesian War, as the great historian Thucydides wrote in the introduction to his eponymous book, which has become one of the greatest historical treatises of antiquity, was an event of such calamitous magnitude that Greece had never witnessed its like in all of recorded history. Not the Trojan War, not the Dorian Invasion, not even the recent Persian invasions – which had devastated mainland Greece and seen Athens herself evacuated and put to the flame, the buildings on her Acropolis razed into dust – could compare to the scale of the devastation that engulfed all of Greece for almost three decades, causing the deaths of tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands.  
  	Entire populations were displaced, whole cities destroyed, and mountainous sums of money spent, all in order for Greece’s two most famous city-states to establish who had dominion over Greece. Sparta, whose invincible armies had recently led the Greeks to victory against Xerxes’s hordes at Plataea was at the head of the Peloponnesian League. Their opponents were led by proud Athens, possessor of a fleet that virtually dominated the entire Mediterranean and decimated the Persian navy at Salamis and Mycale, at the head of the Delian League. Sparta was insular and old-fashioned, while Athens was dynamic and democratic, but both were bent on imperialistic expansion.

  The Late Medieval Scottish...

  In this ground-breaking study of the medieval parliament, Roland Tanner gives the Scottish Parliament a human face by examining the actions and motives of those who attended. In the past, the Scottish Parliament was seen as a weak and ineffective institution – damned because of its failure to be more like its English counterpart. But Roland Tanner shows that the old picture of weakness is far from accurate. In its very different way, the Scottish Parliament was every bit as powerful as the English institution. The ‘Three Estates’ (the clergy, nobility and burgh representatives who attended Parliament) were able to wield a surprising degree of control over the Crown during the fifteenth century. For instance, they threatened to lock James I’s taxation in a box to which he, the king, would have no access, made James II swear not to alter acts of Parliament, and prevented him from using his own lands and wealth as patronage for his supporters, and forbade James III to leave the country.  Roland Tanner has avoided a dry constitutional approach. Instead he has sought to bring Parliament to life through the people who attended, the reasons why they attended, and the complex interactions which occurred when all the most wealthy, powerful and ambitious people in the kingdom gathered in one place.
