Beschreibung

In "The Founding of New England," James Truslow Adams presents a comprehensive examination of the early colonial period in New England, deftly weaving together historical narratives with a rich tapestry of socio-political environments. Adams adopts a narrative style that is both engaging and informative, effectively contextualizing the experiences of Puritan settlers in their pursuit of religious freedom and economic opportunity. His analysis is bolstered by detailed descriptions of the region's geography, native interactions, and evolving governance structures, giving readers a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by these early colonists during the 17th century. James Truslow Adams, an American historian and author, is best known for coining the phrase "American Dream." His extensive background in early American history informs his insightful interpretations within this work. Adams's commitment to exploring the complexities of American origins stems from his belief in the value of understanding the past as a foundation for recognizing contemporary societal ideals and challenges. Through this book, Adams reflects not only on the founding principles of New England but also on their implications for the emerging American identity. This scholarly work is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, particularly those intrigued by the formative years of colonial New England. Adams's rigorous research combined with his articulate prose enriches the reader's understanding of seminal events that shaped the American psyche. "The Founding of New England" serves both as an educational resource and as a thought-provoking narrative that remains relevant in discussions about America's cultural heritage.

    Risqué Business serves up the breastaurant industry, where food service, sex appeal, identity, and gender politics mix. 
    Risqué Business explores the rise and ongoing cultural reckoning of "breastaurants": sports bar–style restaurants like Hooters and Twin Peaks, which have long relied on the sexualized presentation of female servers to attract a mostly straight, male clientele. Ty Matejowsky, professor of anthropology at the University of Central Florida, is uniquely positioned in America's foundational, breastaurant-saturated landscape. From this vantage, he offers a well-balanced account that draws on pop culture, media analysis, and contemporary gender politics. He delivers a smart, layered analysis of how breastaurants commodify youth and femininity, uphold retrograde masculinity, and serve as symbolic battlegrounds in today's highly charged political environments, including America's deeply polarized Red State/Blue State divide. 
    With case studies, cultural critique, and a critical lens on labor and sexuality, Matejowsky reveals how these restaurants are more than just risqué marketing gimmicks. They reflect deeper anxieties about gender, identity, and the uneasy fusion of sex and service in American consumer culture. Risqué Business is a high-spirited study of an industry that thrives at the intersection of appetite and identity.

    Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.

    A British historian explores the mysterious Scottish culture of the Iron Age and Early Middle Ages whose enigmatic symbols adorn standing stones. 
     
     
     
    The Picts were an ancient nation who ruled most of northern and eastern Scotland during the Dark Ages. Despite their historical importance, they remain shrouded in myth and misconception. Absorbed by the kingdom of the Scots in the ninth century, they lost their unique identity, their language, and their vibrant artistic culture. Among their few surviving traces are standing stones decorated with incredible skill and covered with enigmatic symbols. 
     
     
     
    The Pictish Stones offer some of the few remaining clues to the powerful and gifted people who bequeathed no chronicles to tell the sagas of their kings and heroes. In this book, Medieval historian Tim Clarkson pieces together the evidence to tell the story of this mysterious people from their emergence in Roman times to their eventual disappearance.

    The revered Christian author whose bestselling classics include The Divine Conspiracy and The Spirit of the Disciplines provides a new model for how we can present the Christian faith to others. 
    When Christians share their faith, they often appeal to reason, logic, and the truth of doctrine. But these tactics often are not effective. A better approach to spread Christ’s word, Dallas Willard suggests, is to use the example of our own lives. To demonstrate Jesus’s message, we must be transformed people living out a life reflective of Jesus himself, a life of love, humility, and gentleness. 
    This beautiful model of life—this allure of gentleness—Willard argues, is the foundation for making the most compelling argument for Christianity, one that will convince others that there is something special about Christianity and the Jesus we follow.
