Sinopse

In "Canada Under British Rule," John G. Bourinot presents a comprehensive exploration of Canada's political and social evolution from the time of British colonization through the mid-19th century. Bourinot, drawing upon his keen historical insight, employs a narrative style that interweaves meticulous details with critical analysis, capturing the complexities of colonial governance, Indigenous relations, and the burgeoning Canadian identity. His work is contextualized within the broader landscape of British imperial history, serving as a vital resource for understanding the foundations of Canadian nationalism and the intricate dynamics of colonial power. Bourinot, a key figure in Canadian historiography and an early advocate for responsible governance in Canada, was shaped by his upbringing in a colonial context that fostered his interest in the interplay between Britain and its territories. His experience as a journalist and historian endowed him with an acute awareness of the legislative and cultural undercurrents that influenced Canada's trajectory during this formative period. This deep-seated connection to his subject matter propelled him to document the nuances of Canada's colonial experience meticulously. I highly recommend "Canada Under British Rule" to scholars, students, and any reader intrigued by the complexities of colonial history. Bourinot's rigorous scholarship and engaging prose make this work both informative and captivating, offering essential insights into the roots of modern Canada and the ongoing implications of its colonial legacy.

    This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
    Book 1 - In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one? 
    What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty. 
    Book 2 - Gender does influence persuasion, largely due to the emotional and intellectual differences between men and women. It is often believed that the direct, straightforward approach typically associated with men is more effective in persuasion than the emotionally nuanced methods often attributed to women. 
    One of the key differences between men and women is that men are primarily visually stimulated. This trait, while sometimes criticized as shallow, is rooted in our DNA and evolution. Historically, men were driven to seek healthy partners for reproduction, as visual cues were the primary way to assess health before the advent of modern medicine. In the days of early human society, a woman of child-bearing age who appeared healthy was naturally attractive to men, as it signaled good prospects for offspring.

    Colombia’s history is marked by a rich tapestry of indigenous cultures and societies, which laid the foundations for the diverse nation that exists today. Long before the Spanish arrived in 1492, the region was home to advanced civilizations such as the Muisca Confederation, the Quimbaya Civilization, and the Tairona Chiefdoms. These indigenous groups thrived in Colombia's varied geography, establishing complex societies with sophisticated agricultural practices, intricate trade networks, and elaborate spiritual beliefs. 
    The Spanish conquest of the Americas brought significant change to the region. Following Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, Spanish explorers began their colonization efforts. In 1538, the Spanish established Bogotá, which became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. This vast colonial territory included what is now Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. The Spanish imposed their rule over the indigenous peoples, exploiting both the land and the labor of native communities, which would profoundly shape the future of the region.
