  Loss and sorrow can overwhelm even the strongest person, forcing them to reckon with their emotions whether they want to or not. In this extraordinary debut, Laura Julier recounts her reckoning, which took place in an old cabin tucked away on a hidden and forgotten gravel road along the Iowa River. In company with silence and snow, with eagles, owls, and a host of other birds, Julier finds solace and begins to emerge from the dark corners of grief.

  New Zealand - A History of the...

  New Zealand, known as Aotearoa in Māori, is a land rich in history and cultural significance. Located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, this island nation is renowned not only for its stunning landscapes but also for the diverse stories that have shaped its identity. The history of New Zealand is marked by the migration of its first inhabitants, the Māori, and the later arrival of Europeans, both of whom have contributed to the country’s unique social and cultural fabric. 
  The Māori people, the first to settle the islands, arrived from eastern Polynesia between the 9th and 13th centuries. Their journey to New Zealand is a story of exploration, resilience, and connection to the land. The Māori developed a sophisticated society with rich traditions, strong spiritual beliefs, and a deep connection to the natural world. Their oral histories, cultural practices, and the Māori language (Te Reo Māori) continue to shape the nation’s identity to this day. 
  The arrival of Europeans in the 17th century, particularly the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and later Captain James Cook, marked the beginning of profound change for the Māori and the land itself. European settlers, driven by the promise of economic opportunities, eventually established colonies in the 19th century. This period saw the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, an agreement that aimed to establish a partnership between the Māori and the British Crown. Despite its noble intentions, the treaty's implementation and interpretation have been subjects of contention and legal battles for decades, particularly regarding Māori land rights.

  The Nazi party's rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders' strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party's extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history - World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party's rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
