"Choctaw Timeline and Other Indigenous Peoples" is a critically researched book that draws on the available dates and events of various developments of World Indigenous peoples including the peopling of North, Central and South America.
 
The Choctaw Indians are one of the oldest tribes in the Americas, dating from the era of when the whooly mammoth roamed the Southeast. They are the native inhabitants of the area now comprising the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The book culminates with the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians whose members continue to speak their language, maintain their unique culture, and live on their indigenous land in Mississippi.

Choctaw Timeline presents various peoples and their participation in world civilization. The book presents an in-depth development of human beings, the migrations of people and eventual arrival in the Americas.

It is a good prehistory/history book that will be great reference for the entire family.

The Girl With Three Birthdays -...

Patti Eddington

Patti Eddington always knew she was adopted, and her beloved parents seemed amenable enough to questions—but she never wanted to hurt them by expressing curiosity, so she didn't. The story of her mother cutting off and dying her hair when she was a toddler? She thought it was eccentric and funny, nothing more. When she discovered at fifteen that her birthday wasn't actually her birthday? She believed it when her mother said she'd changed it to protect her from the "nosy old biddies" who might try to discover her identity. 
 
 
 
It wasn't until decades later, when a genealogy test led Patti to her biological family (including an aunt with a shocking story) and the discovery of yet another birthday, that she really began to integrate what she thought she knew about her origins. Determined to know the truth, she petitioned a court to unseal records that had been locked up for almost sixty years—and began to put the pieces of her past together, bit by bit. 
 
 
 
Framed by a brief but poignant 1963 "Report of Investigation" based on a caseworker's one-day visit to Patti's childhood home, The Girl With Three Birthdays tells the story of an adoptee who always believed she was the answer to a couple's seventeen-year journey to become parents, until a manila envelope from a rural county court arrived and caused her to question . . . everything.

Kleptocracy Exposed - The...

Arlo Holders

Kleptocracy, derived from the Greek words kleptēs (thief) and kratos (rule), refers to a system of governance where leaders exploit their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. It is a regime of theft, where corruption is not merely an incidental byproduct of governance but a fundamental aspect of its operation. In kleptocratic systems, the state becomes a tool for personal and collective gain for a small elite, often at the cost of societal well-being and economic development. 
Historically, kleptocracy has thrived in societies with weak institutions, limited accountability mechanisms, and concentrated political power. Leaders in these systems manipulate laws, suppress dissent, and use propaganda to maintain their grip on authority while diverting resources for personal use. Such regimes have emerged across various political systems, from monarchies and dictatorships to democracies with eroded checks and balances. 
The global scale of kleptocracy is staggering, with trillions of dollars siphoned from public coffers annually. This stolen wealth often finds its way into offshore accounts, luxury properties, and high-value assets, creating a shadow financial system that transcends national borders. These stolen funds not only undermine the economies of the affected countries but also perpetuate poverty and inequality, as vital resources meant for public welfare, healthcare, and education are diverted into private hands.

Mexico a transterritorial nation...

Tonatiuh Guillén López

This book is dedicated to the study of the Mexican nation, providing an overview of its two-hundred-year evolution, and particularly analyzing its contemporary profile, which is characterized by unprecedented social reconfiguration sustained by Mexicans residing abroad. As we will show throughout this book´s chapters, the Mexican nation has over the past two centuries followed a complex, sinuous trajectory, conflictive at many points, which step by step built the nation as we know it today, a nation that has not by any means exhausted its vitality or its impetus for continuing to evolve.From now on, the Mexican nation cannot be understood solely on the basis of the population residing within its borders. It must be recognized comprehensively, considering, simultaneously and in equal conditions, people living abroad who hold Mexican nationality. The path ahead is extraordinarily complex, without a doubt. Taking into account its social composition, the 21st century Mexican nation is based and reproduces itself simultaneously within and outside of the territory; therein lies its transterritorial nature.The author is a professor in the UNAM University Program in Development Studies. He has been president of the El Colegio de la Frontera Norte and Commissioner for the National Migration Institute. He is a member of the National System of Researchers and has published widely on topics of migration, northern and southern border studies, regional political issues and modernization of local governments.

Porn Addiction - Breaking Free...

Coral Nunez

Porn addiction is a complex and multifaceted issue that extends beyond mere exposure to explicit content. It involves a compulsive behavior pattern where the pursuit of pornographic material starts to dominate an individual’s daily life, affecting mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Understanding this phenomenon requires a holistic look at how modern technology, societal influences, and neurobiological factors converge to create an environment in which such compulsions can take root.
At its core, porn addiction can be viewed as a maladaptive coping mechanism. Many individuals turn to porn as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or feelings of inadequacy, seeking solace in a virtual world that offers a temporary reprieve from their problems. However, what begins as a form of self-medication can quickly evolve into an uncontrollable habit. The accessibility and anonymity provided by the internet have only amplified the prevalence of this behavior, allowing individuals to indulge in it without immediate consequences. Over time, the brain’s reward system becomes hijacked by repeated exposure to high-stimulation content, leading to a cycle where more extreme material is needed to achieve the same level of satisfaction.
This chapter also explores the societal and cultural factors that contribute to the normalization of porn consumption. In many modern societies, discussions around sexuality and explicit content have become increasingly liberal, inadvertently minimizing the perceived risks associated with overconsumption. While open dialogues about sexuality can be empowering, they sometimes fail to address the potential for dependency and the underlying emotional issues that may drive an individual towards excessive use. Recognizing these subtleties is essential for those who seek to understand and ultimately overcome the grip of porn addiction.

Hidden Portraits - Six Women Who...

Sue Roe

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
 
Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
 
In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.
