Sinopse

Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World is a historical document that chronicles the travels and discoveries of Captain James Cook during his first circumnavigation of the globe. It provides a firsthand account of the expedition that took place from 1768 to 1771.

During this voyage, Captain Cook commanded the HMS Endeavour, a British Royal Navy ship. The primary objective of the expedition was to observe the transit of Venus across the sun, which would help determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun. However, the journey also aimed to explore and chart unknown lands, particularly in the South Pacific.

Cook's journal offers a detailed record of the places visited, encounters with indigenous peoples, descriptions of the flora and fauna discovered, and the challenges faced during the voyage. It provides insights into the navigational methods used by Cook and his crew, as well as their interactions with local inhabitants in various parts of the world.

Some of the notable events recorded in the journal include the ship's arrival in Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus, the exploration of the eastern coast of Australia, the discovery of the Great Barrier Reef, encounters with the Maori people of New Zealand, and the exploration of the Pacific islands, including Tahiti, New Caledonia, and the Society Islands.

Cook's journal not only serves as a historical account but also contributes to our understanding of the cultural and natural history of the regions visited during the voyage. It provides valuable information about the early interactions between European explorers and indigenous populations, as well as the scientific discoveries made during the expedition.

The journal has been widely studied and referenced by historians, scholars, and researchers interested in the Age of Exploration and the Pacific region. It offers valuable insights into the world as seen through the eyes of Captain Cook and his crew during their groundbreaking journey.

James Cook (1728-1779) was a British explorer, navigator, and naval officer who is best known for his voyages of exploration in the Pacific Ocean. He made significant contributions to the mapping and exploration of the Pacific, particularly in the regions of Australia, New Zealand, and the Hawaiian Islands.

    Cognitive health is often overlooked until it begins to decline. In a world that is rapidly changing, we can easily forget how fragile our brains truly are. From the way we process information to our ability to recall memories, brain health affects every part of our daily lives. Yet, many of us unknowingly engage in habits that can damage our cognitive function over time. These seemingly harmless behaviors can lead to a range of mental health problems, including memory loss, mental fog, and even conditions like dementia. The good news is that by understanding how certain habits affect the brain, we can take steps to protect and improve our cognitive health. 
      
    The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the body. It is responsible for our thoughts, emotions, movements, and even the way we perceive the world around us. Despite its remarkable abilities, the brain is vulnerable to both internal and external factors that can have lasting consequences on its function. The habits we form daily play a crucial role in determining how well our brain performs. Even if we don’t feel immediate effects, bad habits can accumulate over time, leading to irreversible damage. 
      
    In this book, we explore twelve common habits that can harm cognitive health. These behaviors might seem harmless or even routine, but their impact on the brain can be far-reaching. From lack of sleep and chronic stress to poor dietary choices and sedentary living, many of these habits are all too familiar. However, understanding how these habits affect the brain is the first step in taking control of our mental health. Once we recognize the problem, we can implement strategies to protect our brain from further harm.

    Son of Birmingham - A Memoir

    Today's Birmingham—led by Mayor Randall Woodfin—is a phoenix rising from the ashes of systemic racism and white flight. This first Southern city to pluck the feathers off Jim Crow, where peaceful protesters endured attacks by police dogs, where high-pressure water hoses tore at the flesh of men and women marching for their rights, and where children locked arms and sang "We Shall Overcome," is a living, breathing redemption story. 
     
     
     
    In Son of Birmingham, Woodfin draws upon the street wisdom of his generation's Southern rap music; the power of family, friends, and faith; and his education at the historically Black Morehouse College to preach the progress every corner of our nation clamors for right now. He walks listeners through the streets of his Birmingham, bringing to light the daily joys and struggles of everyday people and revealing what spurred him to turn his education and Capitol Hill experience to the city of his youth. 
     
     
     
    A moving memoir of a young leader's perseverance in a city still battling racism and gun violence, which Woodfin experienced first-hand, Son of Birmingham is also a call-to-action across America—an appeal to Woodfin's unique brand of servant leadership and responsive government for equitable, inclusive, and prosperous cities where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

    Citizen Hobo - How a Century of...

    In the years following the Civil War, a veritable army of homeless men swept across America's "wageworkers' frontier" and forged a beguiling and bedeviling counterculture known as "hobohemia." Celebrating unfettered masculinity and jealously guarding the American road as the preserve of white manhood, hoboes took command of downtown districts and swaggered onto center stage of the new urban culture. Less obviously, perhaps, they also staked their own claims on the American polity, claims that would in fact transform the very entitlements of American citizenship. In this eye-opening work of American history, Todd DePastino tells the epic story of hobohemia's rise and fall, and crafts a stunning new interpretation of the "American century" in the process. Drawing on sources ranging from diaries, letters, and police reports to movies and memoirs, Citizen Hobo breathes life into the largely forgotten world of the road, but it also, crucially, shows how the hobo army so haunted the American body politic that it prompted the creation of an entirely new social order and political economy. DePastino shows how hoboes—with their reputation as dangers to civilization, sexual savages, and professional idlers—became a cultural and political force, influencing the creation of welfare state measures, the promotion of mass consumption, and the suburbanization of America. Citizen Hobo's sweeping retelling of American nationhood in light of enduring struggles over "home" does more than chart the change from "homelessness" to "houselessness." In its breadth and scope, the book offers nothing less than an essential new context for thinking about Americans' struggles against inequality and alienation.
