Beschreibung

James Ford Rhodes' "History of the Civil War, 1861-1865" stands as a seminal work in American historiography, providing a comprehensive account of the Civil War era through meticulous research and narrative prowess. The book employs a blend of analytical rigor and vivid storytelling, offering both political and social insights into the conflict. Positioned within the context of post-Civil War America, Rhodes adeptly utilizes primary sources and firsthand accounts, capturing the complexities of the war'Äôs causes, major battles, and its profound implications on the nation'Äôs future. Rhodes, a prominent historian and member of the American Historical Association, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous times surrounding him, as well as by the legacy of the Civil War in American society. His roots in Ohio, a significant northern state during the conflict, imbued him with a distinct perspective on the war'Äôs sectional divides and the evolving narrative of emancipation. His scholarly approach is enhanced by his experiences as both an astute businessman and a passionate writer, seeking to bridge gaps in the historical record of his time. This work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the American Civil War's intricate layers. Not only does it serve as an invaluable resource for scholars and students, but it also invites general readers to engage with the historical narrative, making the complexities of the Civil War accessible and compelling. Rhodes' contributions to history remain resonate today, offering crucial context to America's ongoing discussions about race, unity, and reconciliation.

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who was born in Germany and is mainly considered one of the finest physicists of perpetuity. Even though Einstein is best acknowledged for developing the principle of relativity, he also contributed considerably to the development of quantum mechanics. 
The 2 foundations of contemporary physics are relativity and quantum mechanics. His mass-- energy equivalence formula, E = mc2, has been called "the world's most well-known formula" simply because it is originated from theory of relativity. His work is well noted for having actually impacted science philosophy. He won the Nobel Reward in Physics in 1921 "for his services to theoretical physics, especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric influence," which was an important turning point in the development of quantum theory. 
"Einstein" ended up being associated with "genius" as a consequence of his intellectual accomplishments and originality. 
Let’s explore the world and brain of this genius in this comprehensive guide.

Although it ended over 550 years ago, the Hundred Years’ War still looms large in the historical consciousness of England and France, even if the name of the famous war is a misnomer. The war was more of a series of separate conflicts between the English and French monarchies, interspersed with periods of peace, and its reputation remains an odd one, in part because its origins were based on royal claims that dated back centuries. Furthermore, the English and French remained adversaries for nearly 400 years after it ended.  
	That said, the war was transformative in many respects, and the impact it had on the geopolitical situation of Europe cannot be overstated. While some might think of the war as being a continuation of the feudal tradition of knights and peasants, the Hundred Years’ War revolutionized European warfare, and it truly helped to usher in the concept of nationalism on the continent. In England, it is remembered as a period of grandeur and success, even though the English lost the war and huge swathes of territory with it, while the French remember it as a strategic victory that ensured the continued independence of France and the denial of English hegemony. The legacy of the war has lived on ever since, helping determine how England became politically severed from the continent, how the knightly chivalric tradition slid into irrelevance, and how battlefield dominance can still leave a nation a loser in war.  
Indeed, nothing characterized that dominance quite like the campaign that culminated with the Battle of Crécy, where the English used their diverse forces to maximum effect to defeat the French, a victory that allowed the English to eventually take and hold Calais. Agincourt was a hard-fought battle, and Henry V at one point ordered prisoners executed to avoid allowing them to be rescued. In the end the English won a decisive victory, taking 1,500 prisoners and marching on safely to Calais.

The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon is a powerful and provocative examination of the dehumanizing effects of colonization and the revolutionary paths toward liberation. Drawing from his experiences as a psychiatrist during the Algerian War of Independence, Fanon explores the psychological trauma inflicted by colonial rule and the violent upheaval necessary to reclaim dignity and self-determination. With passionate clarity, he critiques the failures of postcolonial leadership and urges a radical restructuring of society led by the oppressed. Originally published in 1961 with a preface by Jean-Paul Sartre, this landmark work has influenced generations of activists, scholars, and freedom fighters, making it an enduring cornerstone of anti-colonial thought and global liberation movements.

“Savagery appeased can only grow. Once you give in to it, it must escalate, like a fire searching for air.” 
The man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates. 
In RECESSIONAL he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West. 
A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, RECESSIONAL examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy – the foundations of security and growth. 
A wickedly funny, wistful and wry appeal to the free-thinking citizen, RECESSIONAL is a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.
