Synopsis

In "History of the Civil War: 1861-1865," James Ford Rhodes presents a meticulous and comprehensive examination of one of America's most transformative periods. Utilizing a narrative style that intertwines rigorous scholarship with vivid storytelling, Rhodes conveys the complexities of the Civil War through extensive use of primary sources, including letters, official documents, and contemporary accounts. His work not only contextualizes military strategies and battles but also delves into the socio-political ramifications of the conflict, making it a seminal text in the historiography of the Civil War. James Ford Rhodes, an influential historian and journalist, was deeply intrigued by the socio-political landscape of post-Civil War America. His firsthand experiences and observations, combined with his background in literature and history, significantly shaped his perspective. Rhodes was one of the earliest scholars to approach American history with a clear conviction that it should be viewed through the lens of industrial and social evolution, which profoundly influenced his interpretation of the Civil War's impact on American society. This book is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Civil War'Äôs broad consequences. It is indispensable not only for students of history but also for general readers interested in the lasting effects of this pivotal period on American identity. Rhodes'Äô work remains an authoritative resource that provides clarity and depth to the complexities of the Civil War.

    Book 2 of 3: Hardy has a hot lead that could finally provide him with answers to his questions. Together with Madeline, Frank, Dimitrij and Esra, he takes the dangerous journey and finds new allies in Harry and his community. But Hardy's fight against the creature has left traces that are becoming more and more obvious and seem inexplicable. After a brutal attack on Madeline, the community is surprisingly attacked by undead. With an old locomotive, they cross the vast steppes of Russia and repeatedly get into dicey situations. Shortly before Moscow, a ruthless and well-organized group appears in an attack helicopter, who only want one thing - Hardy. Using Madeline and Frank as leverage, Hardy complies with every request from Castor, a sick psychopath. Hardy meets would-be philanthropist Lydia, who resides in a well-protected mansion and apparently knows more about him than he does. Over dinner, the situation between the parties escalates and Hardy finds himself in a seemingly hopeless situation. Meanwhile, a horde of undead makes its way to the supposedly safe estate. The chaos is pre-programmed. Denny N. Dwight's cliché-laden declaration of love to the horror and action films of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s enters its second round. Again, he makes use of numerous quotes and allusions from films of these eras. In addition, the author brings up many topics that have been making the rounds among conspiracy theorists for years.

    Relate then Educate - The Untold...

    Compiled by two former educators, Relate, Then Educate contains the firsthand stories of sixteen seasoned educators' professional hurdles and personal moments of heartbreak and joy.  To be an educator is to be thrown into the classroom without much practical training. Young teachers can languish for years without knowing if they're "doing it right," and, despite the wealth of tactical curriculum resources available, the intangible needs of educators often go overlooked and unmet. Former educators Rick Holmes and Andrea Avey understand this perspective well; they collected the stories within Relate, Then Educate for teachers seeking experienced insight and support as they decide the trajectory of their career.  This unbiased collection of candid and approachable experiences are written to challenge, inspire, correct, and console teachers—and humans—who need direction. It features stories of unthinkable tragedy, like the tragic death of a student midyear, and rich rewards, like lifelong friendships with students. Relate, Then Educate breaks down each teacher's story into three segments: their path into education, a defining moment in their career, and an instructional best practice.

    Lost Worlds takes readers on a mesmerizing journey through ancient myths, mysterious ruins, and legendary beings from civilizations long past. This 3-in-1 collection explores the enduring enigma of The Legend of Atlantis, the rich spiritual cosmology of The Myths of the Maya, and the fantastic beings found in Mythical Creatures of the World. Each section unveils the imagination and belief systems of lost cultures that continue to inspire wonder and speculation today. 
    Begin with Atlantis, the fabled sunken city described by Plato—an advanced civilization wiped away in a single day and night. Was it real, metaphorical, or something in between? This section dives into the theories, symbolism, and global fascination with one of the most famous lost civilizations. Then venture into the rainforests and pyramids of Mesoamerica to discover Maya mythology, where gods, time, and nature were deeply intertwined. These stories reveal a complex worldview filled with powerful deities, sacred calendars, and epic creation myths. 
    Finally, Mythical Creatures of the World unveils a diverse cast of legendary beings from every corner of the globe—from the phoenix and dragon to lesser-known spirits, monsters, and hybrids. These creatures reflect humanity’s hopes, fears, and the magic we see in the unknown. Lost Worlds offers a captivating exploration of civilizations we’ve lost—but whose stories continue to live on.

    Welcome to another round of history's most absurd stories and the timeless lessons that come with them. In More Lessons from History, Alex Deane has unearthed yet more bizarre tales that you certainly haven't heard before. If you're wondering how large, flightless birds might organise themselves against a military regiment, how you should respond to the glare of an international rugby player whose glass eye you just knocked out, exactly why carrots are orange, or whether the world's worst-run battleship ever ceased firing upon her comrades-in-arms, then look no further.
     
    In this second volume of his acclaimed series, Alex Deane reminds us that, throughout history, human nature has remained exactly the same, and the way that people responded to the most amusing, horrifying and convoluted of circumstances in the past can teach us everything we need to know about who we are today.
