  The Last Best Hope - A History...

  In this brilliant exploration of American history and contemporary conservative politics, foreign policy expert John Hulsman draws on his years at the heart of Washington to present a compelling new vision of conservative realism. 
  In our current Age of Insecurity, Hulsman suggests, there has never been a bigger need for the re-ascendance of realist principles in conservative circles. By drawing on U.S. history to illustrate realist precepts at the heart of the American story, The Last Best Hope provides a practical, realist foreign policy for a new age of American politics. 
  There has never been a greater time to re-claim the primacy of conservative thought. By fusing the populist Jacksonian base of the GOP with the more libertarian Jeffersonian school of thought, this cogently argued manifesto hopes to grasp that opportunity, and to act as a clarion call for a new dominant realist foreign policy.

  Embrace a faith that makes room for all of us. Where can we go when the world refuses to see us in our fullness? When culture reduces us to categories and stereotypes and even our churches make us feel like we don’t fit in? If we’re blessed to have an Auntie—someone who, like Jesus, welcomes us wholly and calls us beloved—then we have glimpsed the liberation and divine affirmation of sacred belonging. ​ Time and again, Aunties have offered a model for undoing, becoming, and embracing our identities and deepest beliefs. Auntie culture, particularly in Black spaces, is immediately recognizable as an embodied experience where nieces, nephews, and “niblings” feel safe, heard, and seen. Whether we are biological or simply beloved kin, Aunties welcome us in. ​ In Love, Auntie, Shantell Hinton Hill—aka Reverend Auntie—offers tender testimonies to a flock of loved ones who have been led to believe they do not belong. Through modern-day parables, prayers, and prompts for reflection, she invites readers to sit alongside the wisdom-bearing of Black women, lovingly known as Aunties, as they carve out space for doubts, questions, and spiritual expression that honor intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. Because trust and believe, Aunties always know how to turn mess into miracles.

  Economic Landscape of Puerto...

  Puerto Rico’s economic landscape has been shaped by centuries of historical, political, and social transformations. From the indigenous societies that first inhabited the island to its complex relationship with Spain and the United States, the economy has evolved in response to shifting global and regional forces. Understanding Puerto Rico’s economic foundations requires an examination of its early economic structures, the colonial period’s trade policies, and the profound effects of U.S. annexation. These key moments set the stage for the challenges and opportunities that have defined the island’s development.  
  Before European colonization, the indigenous Taíno people sustained themselves through subsistence agriculture, fishing, and trade with neighboring Caribbean islands. Their economy, though not based on large-scale commerce, was well-adapted to the island’s resources. With the arrival of the Spanish in 1493, Puerto Rico was integrated into Spain’s mercantilist system, marking the beginning of an economic transformation that would prioritize colonial extraction over local prosperity. The Spanish introduced new crops such as sugarcane and coffee, which would later become vital to the island’s economy. However, strict trade regulations limited Puerto Rico’s ability to develop independently, as it was required to conduct commerce exclusively with Spain.  
  During the 18th and 19th centuries, Puerto Rico transitioned into a plantation-based economy, with sugar and coffee emerging as dominant industries. Enslaved Africans and later immigrant laborers contributed to the agricultural boom, making the island a key supplier to European and American markets. Despite periods of growth, the economy remained vulnerable to global price fluctuations, natural disasters, and restrictive colonial policies. By the time of the Spanish-American War in 1898, Puerto Rico’s economy was still largely agrarian, with limited industrial development.

  This book consists of three titles: 
  1 - Christopher Columbus was an Italian navigator and explorer who made 4 explorations across the Atlantic Ocean, paving the course for European discovery and settlement of the Americas. His journeys were the first European contacts with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and were financed by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. 
  Christopher Columbus is an Anglicization of “Christophorus Columbus,” a Latin name. Columbus was born in the Republic of Genoa and spoke a Ligurian dialect as his mother tongue, according to most intellectuals. He went to sea at an early age and traveled all over the world, as far north as the British Islands and as far south as Ghana. 
  2 - Galileo engaged in useful science and innovation, clarifying the characteristics of pendulums and "hydrostatic balances," and also studying speed and speed, gravity and free fall, the concept of relativity, inertia, and projectile movement. He created the thermoscope and some army compasses, and he used the telescope to observe celestial things clinically. Telescopic verification of Venus' stages, observation of Jupiter's 4 biggest satellites, research study of Saturn's rings, and analysis of sunspots are amongst his contributions to observational astronomy. 
  3 - Captain James Cook FRS was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy who is most well-known for his 3 explorations to the Pacific Ocean, especially to Australia, between 1768 and 1779. Prior to finishing 3 trips to the Pacific, he drew precise maps of Newfoundland and made the first documented European encounter with the eastern coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first noted circumnavigation of New Zealand.
