Jay's Treaty

John Jay

Sinopse

In 'Jay's Treaty,' the intricate diplomatic and political negotiations underlying the 1794 agreement between the United States and Great Britain are examined with scholarly precision. Delving into the content of the treaty itself, the book illuminates the treaty's impact on international relations and trade in a time fraught with conflict. With a narrative that unfolds in a meticulously researched context, the author brings a literary elegance to a historical turning point, situating the treaty within the larger framework of the post-Revolutionary era and the French Revolutionary Wars, and exploring its divisive reception within the burgeoning political landscape of the United States.

John Jay, an esteemed statesman, and jurist, offers a perspective in this work that is underpinned by his direct involvement in the formation of American foreign policy. Given his instrumental role in the nascent country's diplomacy, his insights into the treaty's creation and the controversy it sparked are particularly poignant. Jay's own experiences and the era's political ideologies indubitably influenced his narrative, shedding light on the Federalist and Jeffersonian Republican factions' ideological battles that shaped early American politics.

'Readers with a passion for American history and international diplomacy will find 'Jay's Treaty' an indispensable resource. The book's erudite examination of the treaty's significance reaches beyond the mere facts, offering a deeper understanding of the early Republic's challenges and the complexities of its foreign relations. It comes highly recommended for scholars, history enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the rigorous interplay between politics and diplomacy in shaping a nation's destiny.

Billion-Dollar Ball - A Journey...

Gilbert M. Gaul

A hard-hitting examination of the many ways college football has been transformed into a money-making spectacle that is hurting higher education  
In the spring of 2013 a study showed that despite huge economic problems, twenty-seven states were awarding their highest salaries to college football coaches. College football has doubled in size in the last decade, thanks to generous tax breaks, lavish TV deals, and corporate sponsors eager to slap their logos on everything from scoreboards to footballs and uniforms. In one recent year the ten biggest programs took in $800 million from football, with profit margins far surpassing those of Fortune 500 companies. Little of this money goes to academics. Instead, it sustains a wildly profligate infrastructure of coaches, trainers, marketing gurus, tutors, and a growing cadre of athletic department bureaucrats whose sole purpose is to ensure that players remain academically eligible to play.  
In Billion-Dollar Ball, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert M. Gaul offers a surprising, incendiary examination of how college football has come to dominate some of our best, most prestigious universities, reframing campus values, distorting academic missions, and transforming athletic departments into astonishingly rich entertainment factories.

Creative Minds - Gifted Brains...

Angela Wayning, Christie...

There are several different titles in this book, which are the following:
Book 1: In this short and simple guide, you will learn more about the qualities of a gifted person. These attributes typically already show in a man or woman’s childhood, and the developmental stages in which they grow.
Book 2: This question lies at the heart of this book, as well as other sub-topics that relate to it. Your knowledge will increase about giftedness, and solutions will be provided for a problematic child who is looking for the right therapist.
Book 3: In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it: The schools often have no clue what to do with them.
Book 4: ADHD is a condition in the brain many people are somewhat familiar with.
However, when it comes to the specifics, the majority of us are still left in the dark. The main essence of ADHD is missing when people just think that you’re hyperactive and unfocused. There is way more to it. And not only is so much more to say about the causes of ADHD, but about the consequences as well.
Book 5: In a world of self-absorbed individuals, socially impaired ignoramuses, and annoying distractions in busy lives, we need empaths.
Book 6: Sensitivity isn’t always appreciated in a harsh, cold world with fast-paced relationships and quick contacts. On top of that, a highly sensitive person can be stuck with some exceptional problems and personal challenges other "regular" people don’t have.
Book 7: Some people confuse being an introvert with being shy or socially awkward or just a loner. This is false.

RD Margaret Weiss

Have you been confronted with a medical diagnosis that has altered your otherwise comfortable and peaceful life?
Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Weiss, RD , CDCES was happily raising her family in central New Jersey when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. With little support for what was then a relatively unknown condition, she was forced to face her reactions and behaviors as she navigated many, often unpleasant, life changes to accommodate this disease.
· Are you experiencing a range of emotions and behaviors related to your own condition that you’d like to understand better?
· Are you interested in behavioral theories that might help explain and guide your actions as you navigate significant change?
· Are you looking for a way to transform your mindset about your diagnosis with constructive and reliable best practices that are forward-looking and healing?
Drawing on her experience as both a person with celiac disease and as a practicing dietitian, Margaret wrote Eat Your Rice Cakes to explore this journey of change. With humor and pragmatism, she speaks to both patients and providers of healthcare with a combination of personal and professional experiences that illustrate our responses to significant upheaval. Told with humor and insight through her eyes, the book offers an inspirational way for all readers to process life-altering change across a wide range of medical disorders with an ultimate vision of empowerment and compassion.

Inquisition The: A Captivating...

Captivating History

The paranoia and recriminations that have been unleashed by religious inquisitions are quite extraordinary.  
This audiobook explores the Inquisition in depth, leaving no stone unturned to find the root of what drove these religious persecutions.  
Most people know about the Spanish Inquisition, but there were other inquisitions, such as those carried out by the Romans and the Portuguese. What was it that motivated these diehard religious zealots to squash all contrary views from their midst?  
It is rather easy to paint one side as the “good guys” and the other as the “bad guys.” But unless we are a bunch of kids playing cops and robbers, this is an overly simplistic, narrow-minded, and lazy interpretation of what is a very complex history. In this audiobook, we explore all the dark nooks and crannies of what sparked massive inquiries into the faith of others and rampant persecution of religious beliefs. 
In this captivating audiobook, you will discover the following:The root causes of the Inquisition;The real motivations behind the persecution;The harsh torture methods used to extract confessions;The estimated toll the Inquisition took on people’s lives;How the Inquisition ended;Its impact and legacy;And much more!
