Synopsis

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.

    Discover the riveting life journey of Ash Jackson, an award-winning musician who turned her pain into powerful music. From her childhood dreams of fame, struggles with self-esteem, and experiences of bullying, to her pro wrestling career, battles with mental health, and remarkable courage in navigating her gender affirmation, her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and redemption. Ash's music is more than an expression of art; it is a raw portrayal of her life, encapsulating themes of loneliness, love, and trauma. Yet, Ash's life is not solely confined to the realm of music. Her involvement in the anti-lockdown movement in Melbourne, and her subsequent defection and fallout are just some episodes of her multifaceted tale.

    A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
     
     
     
    The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

    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.

    Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
    The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
    One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.
