Beschreibung

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1920, The War with Mexico by Justin H. Smith stands as the definitive account of one of the most transformative—and controversial—conflicts in American history. First published in 1919, Smith’s sweeping narrative explores the full scope of the Mexican-American War, from its tangled diplomatic origins to the hard-fought campaigns that redrew the map of North America. Drawing from rare documents and eyewitness sources on both sides of the border, Smith provides a compelling, balanced account of a war often overshadowed by the Civil War that followed.     Smith weaves together military detail, political context, and cultural insight to illuminate how the war shaped U.S. expansion, Mexican nationalism, and the future of the American West. His vivid prose brings key figures to life—Zachary Taylor, Winfield Scott, Santa Anna—while never losing sight of the broader forces at play: manifest destiny, national honor, and the cost of imperial ambition. Through this lens, The War with Mexico becomes more than a history of battles; it is a vital study of how nations justify war and how those wars reverberate through generations.     Republished by Classicus, this enduring work remains essential reading for students of American history, military strategy, and 19th-century diplomacy. With its rare combination of scholarly rigor and narrative flair, The War with Mexico continues to offer insight, challenge assumptions, and deepen our understanding of the past.

    Lenin Lives?

    Lenin's work and influence have often been written off as no longer relevant, and many today consider this to be so. Lenin has, they claim, had his day, even though he is still revered in China, the world's most populous country. However, Lenin, like his mentor Marx, has had a tendency to rise from apparent decline and oblivion to renewed force and influence. 
     
     
     
    This study examines the key elements of Lenin's life and career, the consolidation of his ideas into the doctrines of "Leninism," the influence of Leninism in promoting revolutionary movements around the globe, and the currently disputed issue of whether his ideas still have any relevance today. In particular, while considering his views on the role of the revolutionary party, often seen as the centerpiece of his theory and practice, this account identifies the root of Lenin's global influence in his opposition to capitalist imperialism and as a bedrock foundation for the opposition of many to fascism and associated ideologies. While recognizing that Lenin's reputation has reached its lowest point, not least in his home country where his legacy is reviled by Vladimir Putin and other contemporary leaders, the book concludes by weighing up the contemporary arguments of those who believe that Lenin still lives.

    Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of...

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    It could easily be argued that body art is more popular than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea. 
    Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady. 
    This doesn’t work so well for men, for obvious reasons! 
    You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds. 
    The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days – it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month’s holiday! 
    In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running! 
    The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications.

    This is an education book that is like no other that has gone before. It won't tell you what to do minute by minute, lesson by lesson, day by day. It won't batter you with impenetrable research or tell you what you must think. You won't even find a scheme of work in it some planning ideas, for sure, even a template or two, but there's no spoon-feeding here. It's just a book that invites you to consider where you are in your own educational journey. It's a book to get youbothered.
    Botheredness is a word Hywel Roberts uses to sum up the kind of authentic care and adult positioning that is real and deliberate and gets children and young people on board with learning. It is the holy grail of teaching and something that will both significantly improve your enjoyment of teaching and benefit your classes enormously.
    This book is therefore an exploration of the road less travelled, backed up with Hywel's own experiences, reflections and research down the rabbit hole of contemporary education. It's about the reinstatement of professional integrity, the teacher as storyteller, and the need for our professional imaginations to be nurtured and curated. Hywel sets out to help teachers enhance their understanding of what it means to lead learning and thinking, to stand beside children as well as in front of them, whilst developing their knowledge acquisition with compassion, warmth and optimism.
    If you are looking for an education book that will inspire not dictate, that will entertain, challenge and fire up your imagination in equal measure,that allows you to think beyond a path laid out by scripted lessons, downloadable schemes and quick-fix fads, then this is the book for you.
    Providing clear strategies around imaginative and effective planning, supported by genuine examples of powerful classroom work from primary, special and secondary settings, this book is an essential guide to reclaiming your professional warmth, passion, and care - your botherednesss - in the classroom. Written by a travelling teacher and film buff who's on a mission to put botheredness into classrooms everywhere.
    Suitable for teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders, as well as other education professionals.

    Women at War - The Pivotal Role...

    Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. A societal emphasis on strict gender roles reinforced the idea that women’s contributions were secondary to those of men.  
      
    Despite these restrictions, change was already stirring in many parts of the world. The suffrage movement had gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, granting women the right to vote in some countries. This political shift signaled the beginning of a broader movement toward gender equality. Women’s participation in the workforce during World War I also laid important groundwork, as millions stepped into roles vacated by men who had gone to fight. Although many women were forced to relinquish these jobs after the war, the experience proved their capability and fueled the belief that women could contribute beyond the domestic sphere.  
      
    However, the interwar period brought mixed progress. The economic hardships of the Great Depression in the 1930s reinforced traditional values in some regions, with governments and employers often prioritizing men for scarce jobs. At the same time, women’s organizations continued to advocate for expanded rights, education, and opportunities. The period also saw significant cultural shifts, with women entering public life in new ways. The flapper era of the 1920s, for instance, challenged societal norms by embracing independence, freedom of expression, and modernity.
