Golf Dreaming - An Aboriginal Social Political Cultural and Historical Perspective of Golf

John Maynard

Sinossi

Golf Dreaming delves into the fascinating and often-overlooked Aboriginal connection to the game of golf.
 
Historical accounts reveal that some traditional Aboriginal games bore similarities to golf, long before the sport gained global prominence.
 
This history, by Emeritus Professor of History John Maynard, is rich in intriguing stories, from the barriers Aboriginal people faced in accessing golf courses and equipment, to the lesser-known connections between Australian golf courses and significant Aboriginal sites, including burial grounds.
 
Through these narratives, Golf Dreaming explores the sport’s unique cultural intersections and its challenges, providing a fresh perspective on golf’s place in Australia’s sporting and cultural history.
 
Foreword by Professor Bob Morgan.

Why Women Prefer a Cheater

A.A. Castor

Why do women stay with men who cheat on them?
Why do so many fall for married men, agree to be the mistress, or even enjoy sex more outside of marriage than within it?
Why Women Prefer a Cheater isn't a polite conversation. It's a deep, unapologetic, and disturbingly honest exploration of female desire—rooted in biology, shaped by history, warped by psychology, and censored by culture.
This book does not offer empty empowerment slogans or fairy-tale relationship advice. Instead, it tackles the raw and uncomfortable truths:That women are biologically drawn to dominant, often unfaithful men.That affairs can offer psychological escape from the suffocation of modern monogamy.That cultural shame trains women to silently blame themselves for male betrayal.That "loyalty" often rewards women with nothing but resentment and self-erasure.
Through chapters like The Dual Mating Strategy, The Psychology of the Mistress, Sex, Marriage, and the Decline of Desire, and The Hidden Cost and Secret Freedom, A.A. Castor exposes the brutal realities behind cheating, desire, and the unspoken decisions women make to survive love, betrayal, and expectation.
Blending science, dark humor, and harsh truths, this book isn't for the faint of heart. It's for every woman who's ever been the wife, the other woman, or the one who stopped believing in fairy tales.
Forget what society taught you about love.
Forget what you were told about loyalty.
This book isn't here to comfort—it's here to wake you up.

Small but Important Riots - The...

Robert F. O’Neill

June 1863. The American Civil War was two years old, and the U.S. Army in Virginia was in chaos. Reeling after the recent defeat at Chancellorsville, the Federals, especially the Cavalry Corps, scrambled to regroup. Confederate general Robert E. Lee seized the moment to launch a second invasion of the North. At this critical moment, the much-maligned Federal cavalry stepped to center stage. 
 
 
 
Small but Important Riots is a tactical study of fighting from June 17 to 22, 1863, at Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, placed within the strategic context of the Gettysburg campaign. It is based on Robert O'Neill's thirty years of research and access to previously unpublished documents, which reveal startling new information. 
 
 
 
Since the fighting in Loudoun Valley of Virginia ended in June 1863, one perspective has prevailed—that Brigadier General Alfred Pleasonton, who commanded the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac, disobeyed orders. According to published records, Pleasonton's superiors, including President Abraham Lincoln, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, and army commander Joseph Hooker, ordered Pleasonton to search for General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia during a critical stage of the Gettysburg campaign, and Pleasonton ignored their orders. Recently discovered documents prove otherwise.
