Sinopsis

In "A History of the Later Roman Empire," J. B. Bury delivers a meticulously researched and engaging narrative that explores the complexities of the Roman Empire during its transformative years from AD 284 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Bury's literary style is marked by a profound analytical approach, seamlessly weaving together political, social, and cultural dimensions of the period. He situates his study within the broader context of early 20th-century historiography, where the interplay of momentous events and figures—such as the reign of Emperor Diocletian and the rise of Byzantine influence—are examined with clarity and depth, offering readers a nuanced understanding of this critical juncture in history. J. B. Bury was a prominent historian and philologist whose scholarly work reflected a deep-seated interest in the dynamics of power and identity in the ancient world. His academic background and extensive travels across Europe enriched his understanding of the Roman Empire's legacy, allowing him to draw insightful connections between the past and contemporary issues. His engagement with classical literature and history informed his profound views on the evolution of civilization, making his analyses particularly poignant and relevant. I highly recommend "A History of the Later Roman Empire" to both historians and general readers alike. Bury's work not only serves as an essential reference for scholars but also provides an accessible yet profound exploration for those eager to understand the complexities of the Roman Empire's later phases. This seminal text remains a cornerstone for anyone seeking to grasp the intricate tapestry of history that shaped modern Europe.

    Jackson - The Iron-Willed Commander

    Orphan. Frontiersman. President. The rise of Andrew Jackson to the highest office in America has become a legend of leadership, perseverance, and ambition. Central to Jackson's historic climblong before the White House—was his military service. Scarred permanently as a child by the sword of a British soldier, Jackson grew into an unwavering leader, a general whose charisma and sheer force of personality called to mind those of George Washington a generation earlier. 
    As commander of the Tennessee militia in the War of 1812, Jackson became "Old Hickory," the indomitable spearhead in a series of bloody conflicts with Creek Indians on the southwest frontier. Slight of frame with silver hair that seemed to stand on command, Jackson once stood down a mutinous brigade as an army of one. Then came New Orleans. Author Paul Vickery chronicles Jackson's defining battle and the decisions a single, impassioned commander made to ensure a growing nation could, once and for all, be free of British might. The hero of New Orleans infused America, for the first time, with a sense of nationalism. 
    Jackson was decisive and unforgiving, a commander firmly in his element. In his own words, "One man with courage makes a majority." The lessons of one extraordinary general endure.

    How Not to Be a Political Wife:...

    ‘You think you’ve married a journalist, then, horrors, he becomes a politician.' 
    'Sarah Vine is the Bridget Jones of politics.' Plum Sykes 
    'Everyone in Westminster is talking about it.' The London Standard 
    'I take it all back; she's fabulous. Nobody in Westminster can afford not to buy this book.' Rachel Johnson 
    ‘Moving and heartfelt – what a journey. I’m amazed she’s still standing.’ Imogen Edwards-Jones 
    How Not to Be a Political Wife is an unflinching account of life at the heart of politics, and what it's like to have politics rip the heart out of your life. It’s a story of high hopes and dirty tricks, broken friendships and divided loyalties, laughter and glamour. 
    Recollections, as a great woman once said, may of course vary, but this is my story, the way I remember it, written with no fear, no favour – and no fucks left to give. 
    Buckle up. 
    I thought long and hard about writing this memoir. I’ve done so not to settle old scores or plead my case, but more because I hope it’s a tale worth telling, not just for those who are interested in the political events of the past few years, but also because it’s about the people and characters behind those events, and why things ended up the way they did. 
    For nearly 20 years I was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise – and fall – of the Cameroon style of Conservatism. At the same time I was building a career in journalism, raising two children and doing my best to support my own husband, Michael Gove, on his political journey. I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer – via my journalism – as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if I’m honest) of frontline politics. 
    After my divorce from Michael and the demise of the Conservatives’ Old Guard, that all came to an end. I’m no longer officially a Westminster WAG, but you won’t find me mourning. Politics trampled my health, my happiness, my marriage, my sanity; it placed intolerable pressure on my loved ones, especially my children; it twisted my sense of self, and others’ sense of me; it tainted everything I did or said. I can’t say I miss it. I do, however, miss the life and the relationships I had before it all. These are the recollections of a survivor, but they are also a love letter to all that was lost in the wreck. 
    In her latest memoir, Sarah Vine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, gives us an insider's view of the political process. This is not just a biography, but a story of campaigns, elections, and the personal toll they take.

    Against the backdrop of the extraordinary history of Great Lakes shipping, Too Much Sea for Their Decks chronicles shipwrecked schooners, wooden freighters, early steel-hulled steamers, whalebacks, and bulk carriers all lost in the frigid waters of Lake Superior. 
     
     
     
    Included are compelling accounts of vessels destined for infamy, such as that of the Stranger, a slender wooden schooner swallowed by the lake in 1875; an account of the whaleback Wilson, rammed by a large commercial freighter in broad daylight and in calm seas; and the mysterious loss of the Kamloops, a package freighter that went down in a storm and whose sailors were found on the Isle Royale the following spring, having escaped the wreck only to die of exposure on the island. Then there is the ill-fated Steinbrenner, plagued by bad luck from the time of her construction to her eventual sinking in 1953. These tales and more represent loss of life and property—and are haunting stories of brave and heroic crews. 
     
     
     
    Arranged chronologically and presented in three sections covering Minnesota's North Shore, Isle Royale, and the three biggest storms in Minnesota's Great Lakes history (the 1905 Mataafa storm, the 1913 hurricane on the lakes, and the 1940 Armistice Day storm), each shipwreck documented within provides a piece to the history of shipping on Lake Superior.

    How the Paranormal Affects...

    My career was being trained as and working as an Engineer mostly for Fortune 100 companies. 
    In parallel with that I’ve also been working on spiritual enlightenment and developing my paranormal abilities for the last fifty years. 
    This unusual combination of skills has led me to my passion of writing about the paranormal and many “out of the box” concepts and topics. I’ve actually written twelve books about the paranormal based on my experiences and research into these topics. 
    One topic which has always fascinated me has been how many paranormal experiences are usually interpreted by mental health professionals as delusional and mentally ill behaviors. 
    My thinking is that most people have spiritual and paranormal abilities and these cause experiences which can overwhelm some people to make them fit the diagnosis of them having mental illnesses. 
    Certainly there are a lot of legitimate mental illnesses which cause the need for treatments by mental health professionals. 
    But what happens when persons having these experiences may be normal and stable in their other behaviors but these experiences are so far beyond the norms of society that others think they are “crazy” and therefore treat them as such? 
    I’ve heard and read a number of stories over the years where I wonder if they were real experiences which might have just caused the person who lived them to have a nervous breakdown. 
    This book is my effort to help people understand the interfaces of real paranormal experiences and mental illness and how to tell which is which. 
    Also, what additional therapies can be used to help people who may be overwhelmed by these experiences?
