Synopsis

Colonial Conflicts explores the history of conflicts arising from colonialism, examining how these struggles shaped global boundaries and the identities of nations. The book delves into the diverse forms of resistance employed by colonized populations, from armed rebellions to cultural preservation, and analyzes the long-lasting impact of these conflicts on post-colonial societies. Colonial conflicts were integral to the formation of modern nation-states and the evolution of global power structures, influencing everything from political instability to economic inequality.

The book begins by outlining the major waves of colonialism and the motivations of colonizing powers. It then examines specific conflicts, such as the Algerian War of Independence, analyzing their causes, consequences, and impact on local populations. By exploring these historical events, Colonial Conflicts provides vital context for understanding contemporary geopolitical dynamics and the persistent legacies of colonialism, including issues of national identity and global power structures.

Synthesizing findings from various case studies, the book draws broader conclusions about the nature of colonial conflicts and their enduring legacies. Using primary and secondary sources, including archival documents and personal accounts, it connects historical analysis to contemporary debates about globalization and international relations. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how colonial conflicts continue to shape our world.

Dignity in Policing - How...

Marcel Brunel, Dan Newby

This book is not about fixing first responders, it is about empowering first responders to care for themselves; and to be better armed to disarm their own stressed responses. The processes shared in this book are simple, fast, and intuitive. Under each first responder's figurative or literal armor is a human doing important work.  
You have your service weapon, your taser, your pepper spray, and your handcuffs, but your toolbelt is incomplete without your dignity.  
"The timing of this book couldn't be better to serve as a perfect resource and tool for emotional wellness". - Brad F., Chief of Police 
"This book is not just a "good read". It is a deep dive into an essential skill for 21st-century police officers". - Rick R., Chaplain 
Marcel and Dan are teachers, coaches, practitioners, and mindful human beings. Our goal is to be a spark for good a pilot light, always there, ready and waiting to ignite a bigger flame. Our pasts can be broken down into two eras; what we were like before we became emotionally literate and what we are like now.  
Our highest hope is that you will read these pages and come to realize that t is time for you to reconsider your emotional understanding and competence for the sake of your well-being and the well-being of those you care about.

Unforgettable Utah - Historic...

Mr. Lynn Arave

Chronicles of the Memorable and Mysterious!Utah's history is as distinctive as its uniquely stunning landscape. From the state's own "Mount Sinai" to the tourist mecca of the Four Corners, remarkable locales demanded national attention. Angels Landing, the Zion Narrow Treks and Twin Peaks were sites of milestone explorations. Beloved, bygone resorts like the legendary Saltair and short-lived Eden Park represented cherished memories. Historic catastrophes defined local resilience, such as the state's first earthquake in 1859 or the 1944 holiday railroad disaster. And, seasonal mishaps and tragedies underscored the dark side of Utah's five national parks. Author Lynn Arave presents a diverse, unorthodox collection of Beehive State heritage, illustrated with nearly 100 images.

Senator Ted Kennedy

On June 5, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy (born on November 20, 1925), a United States Senator (NY) and candidate in the 1968 Democratic Party presidential primaries, was shot by 24-year-old Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Kennedy had just won the California and South Dakota primaries on June 4, and was addressing his campaign supporters in the hotel's ballroom. After leaving the podium, and exiting through a kitchen hallway, he was mortally wounded by multiple shots fired by Sirhan. Kennedy died at Good Samaritan Hospital nearly 25 hours later. His body was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Kennedy's younger brother, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts delivered the eulogy.

China Suite and other Poems

Gillian Bickley

People, art and life. A record of a particular space in time. Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Sukhothai, Honolulu, Mexico City, northernmost Scotland, Andorra. Intimates and strangers. A mother and son seen for some seconds on a bridge in Shanghai. The emotions flowing between performer and conductor throughout a concert. The interpretation one creative artist gives to that of another's work. Gillian Bickley values the records we all make: — the heritage we may or may not preserve, what we choose to reveal of our lives, the constant interpretative understanding of the personal as well as the historical past, and the sacredness of memory. Here we find observation and reflection – on current affairs as well as people and places – and also the frisson produced by five "skulls" in a window, a funeral owl caught in hire-car headlights, and the realization that classical stories are re-enacted in our own lives.
" … a collection refined by the sensitivity and spirit of a poet who observes with the wonder and clarity of someone who is at once an insider and outsider. In her works, we see that Bickley's poetry has the ability to provide both spontaneous, on-the-spot immediacy and lingering, contemplative power…. Every city may have its gaps, ambiguities and unknowabilities, and the poet's intimate and candid reflections in this collection have successfully uncovered some of them." – Hilary Chan Tsz-Shan, Reviews, Asian Cha, February 2010 (Issue 10).
"You are lucky to have this poetry in your hand." — Karmel Schreyer.
"The poems in CHINA SUITE are unpretentious, direct, and even raw, like gemstones freshly dug out of a quarry. The psychological boundaries drawn to separate cultures from cultures, clans from clans, and individual from individual are utterly destroyed. An unnoticed observer, she trespasses ethnic taboos and social no-nos, and writes down whatever she sees without getting caught—in a graceful way." — Elbert S. P. Lee
