Synopsis

"Turin Shroud" explores the captivating mystery of the Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth bearing the faint image of a man that some believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. The book delves into the shroud's documented history, primarily tracing back to 14th-century France, while investigating claims of even earlier origins.

 
It also examines the controversial 1988 radiocarbon dating results, which suggested a medieval origin, and presents critiques and alternative dating methodologies. Interestingly, the image on the shroud defies easy explanation, inviting debate about whether it could have been produced using medieval techniques or if it points to a more extraordinary origin.

 
This comprehensive analysis covers key aspects such as the historical context, scientific dating, and image analysis. Textile analysis, including weave patterns and fiber composition, provides additional clues. The book evaluates various theories of image formation, considering artistic techniques, scorch hypotheses, and spectroscopic studies.

 
By presenting published scientific papers, historical documents, and expert opinions, the book balances scientific rigor with accessibility. It progresses logically, guiding readers from the shroud's history to dating controversies, textile analysis, image formation theories, and religious implications, encouraging critical assessment of the evidence.

    Middle Ages - Medieval Events...

    This is a combo book about the middle ages, which comprises the following titles: 
    1 - Middle Ages: In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or Middle Ages time period lasted around from the fifth to the late 15th centuries, likewise to the postclassical period of worldwide history. It started with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. 
    2 - Black Death: Here we have it: We may be looking at the years 2020-2021 and think a certain virus has been bad for the world population. However, what happened in these two years is nothing, proportionally, to the hundreds of millions of people who got wiped out by rat infestations spreading insanitary bacteria, resulting in the disease and death of huge parts of the European population in the mid-centuries. 
    The genesis or origin of the Black Death is a point of contention. The epidemic started in Central Asia or East Asia, but it wasn't till 1347 that it made its conclusive presence in Crimea. It spread out through the Mediterranean Basin, reaching Africa, Western Asia, and the remainder of Europe through Constantinople, Sicily, and the Italian Peninsula, probably brought by fleas surviving on black rats carried by Genoese servant ships. 
    3 - Crusaders: The Crusades are one of those dark chapters in history that we would rather forget, especially religious people. In name of the church, or other religions, like the Muslim faith, people killed, destroyed, looted, and burned cities to the ground. There is nothing “holy” about attacking and plundering, yet this is what they did. 
    The Crusades were a series of spiritual fights in the Middle Ages period that were begun, supported, and sometimes ordered by the Latin Church.

    It's a simple fact that the people who make policy and oversee government, sports, business, and the arts and entertainment are most commonly white men. Another fact: We cannot achieve meaningful progress if we exclude the very people who have the power to make systemic change. 
     
     
     
    This handbook is free of any attempts to shame, blame, or guilt leaders for the choices they made in the past or privileges they were born with. Instead, listeners will learn to view the work they do through a racial equity lens so they can easily and immediately begin making changes. 
     
     
     
    In The Includers, Colette Phillips explores the core qualities that inclusive leaders share: character, cultural intelligence, connections, communications, collaboration, courage, and commitment. With humor and poignancy, and backed by research, Phillips shares stories of real Includers: the CEOs, politicians, and public figures—all white male allies—she's admired, known, and, in some cases, counseled. 
     
     
     
    For leaders who are ready to do their part, this eye-opening guide offers practical, actionable insights from allies and advocates who are willing to listen, learn, and "lead from behind" to create sustainable systemic change.

    In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years. 
    If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place. 
    Introducing, But, Whose Fault? Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition. 
    Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen.

    It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told. 
    Inside, But, Whose Fault? Part One, discover:

    ●	the political context behind the events that unfolded

    Awkwardness - A Theory

    Awkwardness offers an account of the psychology and philosophical significance of a ubiquitous social phenomenon. Our aversion to awkwardness mirrors our desire for inclusion. This explains its power to influence and silence us: as social creatures, we don't want to mark ourselves as outsiders. As a result, our fear of awkwardness inhibits critique and conversation, acting as an impediment to moral and social progress. Even the act of describing people as "awkward" exacerbates existing inequities, by consigning them to a social status that gives them less access to the social goods (knowledge, confidence, social esteem) needed to navigate potentially awkward situations. 
     
     
     
    Awkwardness discusses how we ostracize and punish those who fail to fit into existing social categories; how we all depend on—and are limited by—social scripts and norms for guidance; and how these norms frequently let us down when we need them. But awkwardness has a positive side: it can highlight opportunities for moral and social improvement, by revealing areas where our social norms and scripts fail to meet our needs or have yet to catch up with changing social and moral realities. Awkwardness ultimately underscores the conflict between our moral motivations and our desire for social approval and conformity.
