  The War of 1812

  This compact history of the War of 1812 attempts to separate myth from reality. Harry Coles narrates the main operations on both land and sea of the three-year struggle. He examines the conflict from the British (and Canadian) as well as the American point of view, relating events in America to the larger war going on in Europe.
   
  “A balanced analysis of tactics and strategy, this book also summarizes succinctly and clearly recent scholarship on causes and describes briefly the war’s military, economic, and political consequences. Coles has surveyed thoroughly the existing literature but arrives at a number of independent judgments. It is the best single-volume account of the war in all its aspects. In recounting sea battles, Coles puts aside the patriotic blinders that have for so long prevented a sensible understanding of American capabilities and strategic necessities; thus American naval victories are put in a proper perspective. And in dealing with land engagements, he has shunned the mocking and amused attitude which has so often passed for historical judgment. Undergraduates will be stimulated by the hints of modern parallels and will find useful the excellent annotated bibliography and simple maps.”—Choice

  We are living in a world of deception. We are constantly deluded and manipulated to do as we are told. It is often a very subtle system of control, but sometimes it is so obvious that nobody would even believe it. Ancient secret societies have grown over generations and their descendants now hold power in the biggest businesses, governments, organizations and religions on the planet. Using fear and enticement, they feed from us. Whether it is a global pandemic or a celebrity scandal, the hand of the hidden elite is in control. This is the revelation of the hidden brotherhood.

  Ancient Explorers of Eastern...

  Where did the first colonizers of North America from Europe, North Africa and the British Isles first land? 
  The greatest mixed cluster is in New England and spreading out from it. And how did these ancient travellers journey across the face of North America? Generally in the same way that they got there. In watercraft! To the ancients the seas, lakes and rivers were the superhighways as crossing land until the later Romans developed road systems was in many cases near impossible if not exceptionally difficult. This is how all great exploration has always been done until recently. You sail across a sea and then up the first river you find to see where it will go and this scenario never changes. You only go overland when there are no rivers or lakes as it is much harder to consign goods or travel over unexplored territory than by water. 
  Another great superhighway to trade was from the Gulf of Mexico and up its tributaries and in some cases via now long lost rivers to the Great Lakes themselves. In fact you did not even need long lost rivers. Present day ones would do just as well. The Des Moines River which connects up with the Mississippi River runs within five miles west of Lake Michigan within the present city limits of Chicago. Not too far to move a boat across land from the Great Lakes to the Des Moines River. Even less distance in the thousand year pluvial periods when water levels were higher and there was more rain. There were wider rivers and more lakes to travel across.

This book aims to explore that intricate connection, shedding light on the role emotions play in shaping not just our mental state but also our physical health. 
  Self-Care for Well-Being: In today's fast-paced world, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. The constant pressures of work, family, relationships, and personal expectations can quickly take a toll on our well-being. In the midst of this, self-care often falls to the bottom of our priority lists, overshadowed by the urgent needs of others or the never-ending tasks on our to-do lists. Yet, self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity for maintaining physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Self-care is the conscious practice of taking care of oneself—physically, mentally, and emotionally—by engaging in activities that promote well-being. It is about recognizing the need for balance and nurturing our whole self. When we engage in self-care, we are actively choosing to invest in our health and happiness, which in turn enhances our ability to care for others and handle life’s challenges. It’s a practice that requires time, effort, and commitment, but its benefits are immeasurable.
