Beschreibung

Britain's Industrial Revolution was propelled by more than just factories; the British Canal System played a vital role. This book examines how a network of man-made waterways reshaped Britain's economic landscape, facilitating the distribution of raw materials and finished goods before railways dominated. 

 
The "canal mania" period saw rapid expansion, driven by the Bridgewater Canal's success. Efficient transportation became a catalyst for industrial growth, enabling cost-effective movement of bulk goods and unlocking economic expansion. 

 
The book delves into the engineering feats of canal construction, detailing locks, tunnels, and aqueducts. It explores the economic impact on industries like coal mining and textiles, using tonnage records and cost analyses to quantify the waterways' influence. 

 
By examining the pre-industrial transport limitations and the canals' subsequent decline with railway competition, the book provides a comprehensive view. Each chapter progresses chronologically, from the early canals to their lasting legacy and modern recreational use.

    Clovis Culture The: The History...

    In popular media and culture, the Paleolithic era is often depicted as a time when humans were completely savage, spoke with little more than grunts, hit women over their heads with clubs and kidnapped them, and of course, everyone lived in caves. The reality is that the Paleolithic era was a time of great change when humans coalesced into groups and developed different technologies that helped them survive and ultimately thrive in harsh environments. Among the most important technologies developed by Paleolithic humans were those helping them hunt because, after all, the Paleolithic era was when humans lived as hunters and gatherers, so human survival and advancement were contingent upon developing better tools and weapons.  
    Any examination of the Clovis culture begins with what is known. Archaeologists know the approximate chronological and geographic range of the Clovis culture, and they can identify what made the Clovis people unique. These were the projectile points the Clovis people made, setting them apart from most people that came before and after them, and it was those same tools that made them a successful people for such an extended period in the harsh climate of the Upper Paleolithic era (50,000 to 12,000 years ago). Scholars have also determined that the Clovis people were big game hunters, chasing and killing mammoths and other now-extinct animals across North America. The picture that has emerged of the Clovis people is one of an industrious, resourceful, and prolific people who became masters of the environment and North America for approximately 2,000 years. That being said, there is also much that is not known about the Clovis culture. For example, the Clovis people’s religious ideas, particularly about their views on an afterlife, remain a mystery. The lack of art at Clovis sites has also raised more questions, including if it was the result of a dearth of materials or societal norms and taboos.

    Psychosocial therapy is a holistic approach to mental health care that emphasizes the interconnectedness of psychological and social factors in promoting well-being and recovery. Unlike traditional approaches that primarily focus on symptom management through medication or isolated psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy addresses the broader context of an individual’s life. It explores how relationships, community involvement, cultural background, and socioeconomic conditions influence mental health outcomes. 
    At its core, psychosocial therapy recognizes that mental health is not only a biological or psychological issue but is deeply intertwined with social and environmental factors. Individuals do not live in isolation; their experiences, interactions, and external circumstances shape their mental health. For instance, unemployment, family dynamics, discrimination, or access to social support can significantly impact a person’s emotional resilience and ability to cope with life’s challenges. 
    The primary goal of psychosocial therapy is to empower individuals to navigate these complexities while building skills, resources, and support systems that foster sustainable well-being. By addressing both personal and societal dimensions, it bridges the gap between internal struggles and external influences. This dual focus ensures that therapy is both deeply personalized and contextually relevant, making it particularly effective for individuals from diverse backgrounds.

    Salon's inaugural sex and love advice columnist and author of the viral LinkedIn sex work post, Arielle Egozi, shares their journey as a queer, neurodivergent child of immigrants who never quite fit into the social roles she was supposed to, instead choosing to embrace their multiple dimensions, and eventually discovering freedom—and true power—by being "bad" in a world that kept trying to force her to be "good." 
     
     
     
    With Arielle's personal and relatable guidance, listeners will learn how to: escape the male gaze for good; release the shame they've internalized; make their friends the loves of their lives; embrace their inner domme and reclaim their power; ditch relationship hierarchy to build the relationship(s) of their dreams; discover that sex positivity isn't about having sex at all. 
     
     
     
    Using frameworks and philosophies cultivated from years of living, writing, speaking, and educating on sex, relationships, and identity through a queer and decolonizing lens, Arielle offers questions, practices, and tools to help you find your own power and step into it—creating space for you to dream far beyond what your family, society, or capitalist culture expects. Being Bad offers you the permission to become who you are, however you choose to be.

    It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
    On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
    In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
    When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?
