Synopsis

In "The Founding of New England," James Truslow Adams meticulously chronicles the early settlement of New England, offering a nuanced exploration of the social, political, and religious motivations that spurred the Pilgrims and Puritans to transcend the Atlantic. Adams employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, blending rich narrative with incisive analysis to illuminate the complexities of the region's founding. Published in the context of early 20th-century American historiography, the work reflects an emerging desire to reconcile the nation's past with its contemporary identity, thereby situating New England's founding within broader themes of liberty and governance. James Truslow Adams, a noted American historian and author, was deeply influenced by his belief in the American Dream and the unique contributions of early settlers. His extensive research into primary sources and personal reflections on America's cultural heritage culminated in this seminal work, which underscores the societal dilemmas and triumphs faced during New England's formative years. Adams's keen understanding of historical context and his commitment to demystifying America's origins shaped his narrative approach. This book is an essential read for anyone intrigued by American history, social movements, or the complex interplay of religion and governance in the formation of a nation. Adams's insightful analysis serves as both an academic resource and a compelling story, making it a valuable addition to the library of scholars and history enthusiasts alike.

    Harriet Tubman, forced to labor outdoors on a Maryland plantation, learned from the land a terrain for escape. Louisa May Alcott ran wild, eluding gendered expectations in New England. The Indigenous women's basketball team from Fort Shaw, Montana, recaptured a sense of pride in physical prowess as they trounced the white teams of the 1904 World's Fair. Celebrating women like these who acted on their confidence outdoors, Wild Girls brings new context to misunderstood icons like Sacagawea and Pocahontas, and to underappreciated figures like Native American activist writer Zitkála-Šá, farmworkers' champion Dolores Huerta, and labor and Civil Rights organizer Grace Lee Boggs. 
     
     
     
    This work of history puts girls of all races—and the landscapes they loved—at center stage and reveals the impact of the outdoors on women's independence, resourcefulness, and vision. For these trailblazing women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, navigating the woods, following the stars, playing sports, and taking to the streets in peaceful protest were not only joyful pursuits, but also techniques to resist assimilation, racism, and sexism. Lyrically written and full of archival discoveries, Wild Girls evokes landscapes as richly as the girls who roamed in them—and argues for equal access to outdoor spaces for young women of every race and class today.

    Foreword by Ian Gilbert.Primary school teachers are working harder than ever, and have more and more to do in the finite time they have with their pupils, but Mark Creasy believes it doesn't need to be like this. With rare experience in both primary and secondary phases and at leadership as well as classroom levels, Mark is ideally placed to comment on what works and what doesn't - and in this book he urges teachers to recognise that there is another way.In Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching, Mark encourages teachers to stop and consider the things they do daily in the classroom and presents a series of prompts, nudges and suggestions to help them achieve the same (or even better) results by working smarter, not harder. In so doing he shares a wealth of practical and easily transferable tips for immediate use in the classroom, all designed to streamline teachers' schedules and lighten their workload while enlivening children's learning.These are in no way doctrines, or silver bullets for success, and nothing that Mark advocates requires further investment of either time or money; rather, these 'working smarter' tips are geared to win teachers their evenings and weekends back, something that many more teachers need than is healthy for the profession.Essential reading for primary school teachers.Independent Thinking on Primary Teaching is one of a number of books in the Independent Thinking On ... series from the award-winning Independent Thinking Press.

    Willingness to Serve - Eagerly...

    The journey of service begins with an understanding that true giving is born from within. The heart of service is not about fulfilling obligations or performing tasks for recognition; it is an inner calling that drives us to connect with others in meaningful ways. This chapter invites us to reflect on how genuine service originates from a desire to alleviate suffering, share joy, and foster unity in our communities. It is an exploration of the transformative power of selflessness—a power that inspires us to step beyond our personal interests and contribute to the collective well-being. 
    At the center of this approach lies the belief that every human interaction is an opportunity for connection and healing. When we serve others, we engage in an act that goes beyond simple assistance; we offer empathy and understanding that can bridge divides and mend broken spirits. This process begins with a willingness to be vulnerable, to acknowledge our own limitations, and to reach out to those in need with humility and compassion. By doing so, we not only enrich the lives of others but also discover the latent potential within ourselves—a potential that grows with each act of kindness. 
    Embracing the heart of service means accepting that our actions, no matter how small, can spark significant change. Each moment of compassion, every instance of thoughtful help, builds a foundation of trust and mutual respect in our relationships. This mindset challenges the prevailing culture of self-interest by affirming that our shared humanity is what truly defines us. In recognizing the interconnectedness of all lives, we find that our service to others is also a form of service to ourselves. It nurtures our growth, strengthens our resolve, and deepens our understanding of what it means to be truly alive.

    A land of almost 3 million square miles has lain since time immemorial on the southern flank of the planet, so isolated that it remained entirely outside of European knowledge until 1770. However, the first human footprints on this vast territory were felt 70,000 years earlier, as people began to cross the periodic land bridges and the short sea crossings from Southeast Asia. 
    By the mid-17th century, the existence of a land in the south referred to as Terra Australis was generally known and understood by the Europeans, and incrementally, its shores were observed and mapped. Van Diemen’s Land, an island off the south coast of Australia now called Tasmania, was identified in 1642 by Dutch mariner Abel Tasman, and a few months later, the intrepid Dutchman would add New Zealand to the map of the known world. 
    At the time, the English were the greatest naval power in Europe, but they arrived on the scene rather later. The first to appear was William Dampier, captain of the HMS Roebuck, in 1699, after he had been granted a Royal Commission by King William III to explore the east coast of New Holland. By then, the general global balance of power was shifting, and with the English gaining a solid foothold in India, their supremacy in the Indian Ocean trade zone began. The Dutch, once predominant in the region, began slowly to lose ground, slipping out of contention as a major global trading power. So too were the Portuguese, also once dominant in the region. It was now just the French and the English who were facing one another down in a quest to dominate the world, but their imperial interests were focused mainly in India and the East Indies, as well as the Caribbean and the Americas. As a result, the potential of a vast, practically uninhabited great southern continent did not yet hold much interest. By then the world was largely mapped, with just regions such as the Arctic Archipelago and the two poles remaining terra incognita.
