Sinopsis

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.

    For readers who enjoy a dark mysterious plot with their sexy books, this m/m (and m/m/m) series is just as sinister as it is kinky and was inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe tale, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
    A gay otter boy (meaning: a young fit man who does not shave his body hair) named Alexander, is an out-of-work huslter in his small town by the ocean. In a sudden change of luck he finds himself drawn to a strange mansion and inside, a mysterious millionaire pulls him into a world of sinister extravagance and sexual discipline. With a background as a sex worker, Alexander is no stranger to trading his furry body for money, but he was never expecting to develop deep feelings for his new eccentric keeper. 
    With an introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, the mostly submissive Alexander learns a great deal about himself and his master through whipping, CBT, endurance, and being collared to an older man. Unsure if he is a toy, pet, or partner to the Daddy of the manor he used to think was abandoned, Alexander navigates the secrets of the interior with another otter boy from his past. Things get complicated further when emotions for the other hustler in the strict hierarchy come to the surface and he breaks one of the many rules within the house. 
    Including paranormal elements and unexpected magic, this queer erotic romance series begins in the fall season at the House of Otter then twists and turns through the seasons. Expect: jockstraps and hairy men, Daddy and Boy dynamics, bondage, sadomachochism, harnesses, dominance, fetish gear, nipple play, mystical prophecies, destiny, and whispered words with the power to open the door to forbidden fantasies. In the end, Alexander must decide how much of his body and sexual freedom he is willing to surrender in exchange for a life of opulent luxury. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!

Poverty, by America takes listeners on a powerful journey to uncover the systems, policies, and choices that sustain inequality in the United States.

The author outlines proven solutions to reduce poverty and invites listeners to become “poverty abolitionists,” advocating for systemic change and justice.

    Across the eastern Mediterranean there has been discovered a great number of objects whose appearance or materials are extraneous to local cultures, whether it was an Egyptian amulet in Greece, a Greek vase in Africa, or thousands of strange amulets in Gibraltar. The remains are evidence that a huge amount of goods was once moved from one land to another, systematically transported and traded across the Mediterranean by the ancient commercial network of the Phoenicians. Beginning in the 13th century BCE, and lasting for more than a millennium, this civilization dominated the most important body of water known to the ancients. With their formidable ships and skills in trading, they made a name for themselves by trading between Egypt, Greece, Rome, Carthage, Sardinia, Spain, and eventually all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, establishing themselves as the undisputed lords of the sea.  
    One of the most crucial cities in the system was hidden beneath the Greek, Roman, and Crusader ruins of Lebanon: the ancient city of Tyre. "Seated at entrance to the sea," according to the prophet Ezekiel, Tyre was constructed on a purportedly impenetrable island. Tyre was considered to be one of the oldest and wealthiest metropolises of the world, and indeed, the city can be directly associated with some of the most important stages in the history of mankind. 
    Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history, it nonetheless produced a number of outstanding generals, from the likes of Hanno Magnus to, of course, the great bogeyman of Roman nightmares himself: Hannibal. Carthage was able to go from a minor Phoenician settlement to one of the most powerful trading empires of antiquity.
