Sinossi

In "Indian Wars under the Lead of Sitting Bull," James P. Boyd profoundly explores the tumultuous period of Native American resistance against U.S. expansionism in the late 19th century. Boyd's narrative combines a meticulous historical account with vivid storytelling, presenting a balanced perspective on the complexities of the Indian Wars. He employs a rich, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the cultural and physical landscapes inhabited by Sitting Bull and his followers. The book situates itself within the broader discourse of American history, examining themes of sovereignty, identity, and the relentless pursuit of land, thereby contextualizing the conflicts within the socio-political climate of the time. James P. Boyd, a noted historian and writer, has dedicated much of his career to understanding Native American history and his extensive research informs this work. His background in ethnographic studies and passion for indigenous rights undoubtedly shaped his portrayal of Sitting Bull as not merely a warrior, but as a strategic leader and a symbol of resistance against colonial oppression. Boyd's commitment to illuminating the stories of often marginalized figures in history underscores his motivations for penning this compelling narrative. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, indigenous studies, or military strategy. Boyd's insightful analysis not only sheds light on the life and legacy of Sitting Bull but also prompts readers to reflect on the broader implications of colonialism and resistance. Whether a scholar, student, or general reader, this work promises to engage and enlighten, making it a valuable addition to one's historical library.

The Engineered Primate - Natures...

Vaughn Hughes

What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
Why does digestion even exist? 
What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
…and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
This is not another diet manual. 
It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

France in the Early Middle Ages:...

Charles River Editors

The birth of Europe as people know it today was hardly an easy and effortless process. The end of antiquity was shaped by centuries of continuous wars, raids, and the falls and rises of empires. The most turbulent of these events happened at the beginning of the Middle Ages, from the 3rd-7th centuries CE. This was the time when the old slave society gave way to the feudal system that marked the latter Middle Ages, and it was also a period of battles between the Roman Empire and various barbarian peoples. The Roman Emperors waged wars, made and broke alliances, and bribed and negotiated with chieftains of various “barbarian” tribes to preserve the territorial integrity of their Empires. 
After Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in the mid-1st century BCE, Augustus and his successors eventually began a program of Romanization that, in a remarkably short period of time, transformed Gaul into four provinces. All of these locales added enormously to the Roman Empire in terms of manpower, material goods and wealth. Even today, historians are amazed at how such a large population that was not without its own systems of administration and vibrant culture and tradition could so easily succumb to Rome’s pacification process, and to such an extent that, within short periods of time, the indigenous language and traditions of the Celtic peoples of Gaul were totally supplanted. The reasons why Rome was able to subjugate and then transform what was for that time an immense population of over 10 million people lie not only in its military superiority but its system of organization and its conscious program of Romanization.  
	Ironically, even as Rome’s control over Gaul kept modern France fragmented, the medieval dynasties that sprouted up in the area looked up to the Romans as their predecessors, and in essence they would attempt to recreate the Roman Empire.

Of The Social Contract -...

Jean Jacques Rousseau

"Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains" 
These are the famous opening words of a treatise that has not ceased to stir vigorous debate since its first publication in 1762. Rejecting the view that anyone has a natural right to wield authority over others, Rousseau argues instead for a pact, or 'social contract', that should exist between all the citizens of a state and that should be the source of sovereign power. From this fundamental premise, he goes on to consider issues of liberty and law, freedom and justice, arriving at a view of society that has seemed to some a blueprint for totalitarianism, to others a declaration of democratic principles.It's publication in 1762 lead to great discussion about 'what is government' on both sides of the Atlantic, and is still essential reading today. 
How much government is too much? What rights should be given up for government? It is the Social Contract which is the foundational discussion on these topics.

Summary: Red-Handed by Peter...

Scott Campbell

Not intended to replace but to complement, this is a summary book of Red-Handed by Peter Schweizer, the New York Times best selling author. In his quarter-century as an investigative journalist, Peter Schweizer claims that this is the most terrifying investigation he has ever dared to tackle.
It's hardly unexpected that the Chinese government wants to penetrate American organizations. The amount of American elites prepared to assist the Chinese regime in its ambition for global hegemony, on the other hand, is entirely new.
Presidential families, Silicon Valley geniuses, Wall Street high rollers, Ivy League colleges, and even professional sportsmen are all prepared to put personal gain ahead of national security.
Six-time New York Times bestselling investigator Peter Schweizer reveals his most shocking revelations to date in Red-Handed, showing the covert transactions made by affluent Americans to assist China expand its military, technical, and economic strength. Moreover, many of these elites secretly feel that China's dictatorship is preferable than American democracy.
Schweizer and his team of forensic investigators combed through a large archive of worldwide company documents and court files for almost a year in order to uncover the covert transactions that China's facilitators thought would never be revealed. And, as Schweizer's previous exposés such as Profiles in Corruption, Secret Empires, and Clinton Cash shown, bad actors exist on both sides of the political divide.
Red-Handed will uncover the power link between the Chinese government and the American elites who do its bidding. It will be exhaustively researched, crisply delivered, and scary.

Forgiveness is a Choice - A...

PhD Robert D. Enright

Forgiveness Is a Choice is a self-help book for people who have been deeply hurt by another and caught in a vortex of anger, depression, and resentment. As a creator of the first scientifically proven forgiveness program in the country, Robert D. Enright shows how forgiveness can reduce anxiety and depression while increasing self-esteem and hopefulness toward one's future. 
 
 
 
This groundbreaking work demonstrates how forgiveness, approached in the correct manner, benefits the forgiver far more than the forgiven. Filled with wisdom and warm encouragement, the book leads the listener on a path that will bring clarity and peace. 
 
 
 
Enright is careful to distinguish forgiveness from "pseudoforgiveness" and to reassure listeners that forgiveness does not mean accepting continued abuse or even reconciling with the offender. Rather, by giving the gift of forgiveness, listeners are encouraged to confront and let go of their pain in order to regain their lives.
